Mission Impossible: Holiday-planning with too much Libra

The discussion started early this year, as it always does. I remember sitting in the coffee-bar on the first floor of the house where we live, some months ago, enjoying a Caffe Latte and a piece of pie when he asked me “The Question”: “Where will we go on holiday this year?”

“I´d like to go to Madeira, to do some hiking.” They have nice hiking-paths there, called “Levadas”, where you can walk alongside the islands irrigation system. We´ve been thinking about going there for some years now.

“But what about the Nile Ship Cruise?” he asked.

“Would be nice, too”. We´ve been thinking about making a trip to Egypt for some years now, too.

“Santorini was very nice last year, wasn´t it? What about visiting some other Greek Island this year, maybe Mykonos or Naxos? We could do what they call “Island Hopping”, visiting 2 or 3 different islands within two weeks.”

“Thailand would be nice, too. Last time we went there we didn´t see so much of the country, what about a round-trip this time?”

And so the discussion went on and on, starting in Portugal, touching Egypt, Greece, some Carribean Islands, Asia… ending up, sighing: “Most of all I´d like to go to Australia again, I really loved it there, and it´s so long since we went there….”
“Oh yes, I loved it too, I guess it´s ten years now. If it only wasn´t that far away, more than 20 hours flight – that´s awful!”

Two people talking – one with Libra rising, one with a Libra-Sun.

Making decisions is not that easy with so much Libra! Indecisive, double-minded, always having too much possibilities – that’s one of the problems Libras have to deal with. In me and my partner´s case this problem is getting at it´s peak when it comes to holiday planning – I don´t know why, but that´s the way it is. There are so many nice places to visit. We both love doing “cultural trips”, visiting historical buildings and old towns. We like walking through beautiful landscapes and staying in elegant hotels – as Libras are said to.

Last year our discussion ended up in booking a last-minute-trip to the Greek Island of Santorini. Be assured that this was not our first last-minute-trip. And probably not our last…

But NOT this year! We went to the travel agency yesterday morning (after hours and hours of discussing) and booked a 14-days Nile Ship Cruise. One and a half month in advance – that´s our personal record.

When he came home last night, I was already in bed. He asked: “Honey, are you sleeping?”

“Hmpf?”

“Do you think we can cancel the Egypt-trip? I´d rather go to Greece…”

I did not answer, pretending I was fast asleep.

Moon square Uranus – “Stay away from me!”

Had a funky Saturday last weekend. Was out at the “Jazzfest Wiesen” which is a 3-day-Jazz-Festival with a 32-year history, well known in Austria. We have been visiting this festival almost every year over the last 14 years and we've had a lot of fun there, listening to some famous and extraordinary musicians.

We both love music, espacially jazz, and we love going to concerts, although attending big concerts is always kind of a challenge for me, because I have troubles to cope with large crowds of people.

With Uranus located on my ascendent, forming aspects to all of my personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars), I need some extra space. Seems I need more distance than other people do.

So, at a concert with some thousands of people, there are always some of them getting very close to me, much too close, even touching me! Some people don't mind, but I do. Some people even don´t notice when they get too close to someone else.

This happens to me very often. Someone is stepping right into my private sphere without apologizing, perhaps even without noticing. Whenever that happens, I just don't know what to say, I'm all-too polite – I have Libra rising. And with Aries on my descendant I often meet some disrespectful, impolite or even rude people.
Must be kind of exercise for me, learning to cope with people irrupting my private sphere.

My Moon squares Uranus: distance (Uranus) is one of my basic needs (Moon).

My Sun is forming a Grand Trine with Mars and Uranus in air signs: If I don't have enough freedom (Uranus) to unfold (Sun) I can get very aggressive (Mars). But my anger is stuck into my mind (air signs). It stays there for a long time, growing more and more (a Grand Trine is a lazy thing), before it explodes at last, without paying any attention to polite little Libra.
My Grand Trine is in the fire-houses 1 (self-assertion), 5 (self-expression) and 9 (opinion). I express my opinion quite loud and aggressive to win recognition.
