hello hello!
“it’s been a long time, [i] shouldn’t have left you without a dope beat to step to”…luckily, i’m here to fix all of that with the Libra season playlist. (props to Timbaland for such a catchy refrain that rebirths itself over and over).
ok, so i have to be honest: when it comes to the signs, i try not to let my personal experience with a particular sun sign affect how i view that sign as a whole — especially considering that we each have all 12 signs present in our individual charts. however, Libra is the one sign where i’ve consistently encountered people born during this season and thought “why are you like this?” i say this with love, but if you are a Libra yourself or have had the pleasure of spending extended time with one, you know exactly what i mean.
represented by the scales, many of us will associate Libra energy with balance and harmony — it’s likely that any unpleasant experience we’ve had with those born under this sun sign occurs when they live primarily within the extremes. on the flip side, this air sign is highly persuasive and intellectual, but their tendency to “see both sides” often leaves them indecisive. if you’ve ever met someone who always likes to play Devil’s Advocate, they might be a Libra. this sign can also be very controlling if unbalanced.
to their credit, Libras are the ultimate charmers — which is fitting as they are ruled by Venus. they have a diplomatic disposition that typically makes it easy for others to get along with them (or at least to feel that they’ve gained a Libra's attention and affection). their planetary ruler also instills an ability to dress impeccably — either in a very classic aesthetic (like Toni Braxton) or sartorially eclectic (think Cardi B). they heavily value partnerships and often look to others to define aspects of themselves (but frankly, who doesn’t to some degree?)
you can identify these characteristics and related themes of contemplation in music by Donald Glover (Childish Gambino), St. Vincent, Usher, and JPEGMAFIA among other Libras. and it’s safe to say, the playlist i’ve compiled for Libra season provides room for that same sort of introspection. hope you enjoy!
