Yours is known to be one of the most laid-back signs, but you know this is an act. In fact you are one of the most driven and determined individuals you know, once you make up your mind what you want—and as long as you don’t simmer in resentment and regret, uncertain whether you deserve something. Now, you always have the option to hook into that, but it’s old, and it’s the very thing you’re trying to let go of—so I suggest you cut your losses, give back what is not yours, and move on with a clear conscience. If you have to make amends to anyone, do so sincerely and move on. If you need to apologize to anyone, do so and get on with your life. And one other thing: if you have to forgive anyone, including yourself, then integrate that into everything else you’re doing as part of the move-on process. Forgiveness is not stuffing something, or forgetting something, or demanding that someone take the blame. It’s the opposite of all these things, and though nobody can really explain the process, it does exist and it seems to be easier if you ask for help in whatever spiritual language you speak. The most important thing nearly everyone agrees on about forgiveness is that in truth, it’s not about anyone but yourself.

How can Librans be laid back and caught in the usual vortex of decision-making, constantly seeking equilibrium, and justice simultaneously without knowing how this is achieved? In any event – it’s no act. Bad time dating Libras?
I believe that many Libran’s can present themselves as laid back because they care not for the mundane but for that which is much more significant and powerful in life. In our pursuit of perfection (yes I am a Libra) we can become tense and not at all laid back – but with ourselves. It’s the disappointment of not reaching our potential for perfection and balance that causes angst. My friends think I am the most laid back of all (silly gossip amongst friends bores me) but my business colleagues see a very different me i.e. the intense perfectionist. I kind of like it that way….
