Overcompensation. It can mask all kinds of insecurities. If I’m the life of the party, no one will know how antisocial I feel.
Know any similar traps? If so, be encouraged by a New Moon in Libra on Monday. It helps balance the scales if you go to extremes trying to run away from yourself.
Since Libra is about creating balanced partnerships, it’s useful for you to know your tipping point. What or who throws you off-balance and into overcompensation mode? Those situations and people are reflections of something inside that you’ve managed to avoid seeing. Don’t be scared of your reflection. It’s teaching what you could do with more and less of.
Wanna quit martyring yourself to feel needed? Talk to Venus. She rules this New Moon. She knows your pain, traveling as she is through Virgo, the sign of her detriment. Venus squares Jupiter, also in the sign of his detriment (Gemini)—and retrograde to boot. Talk about overcompensating!
Thankfully, Mercury’s got a way of reaching in and asking you to make more deliberate choices so you don’t waste your sweet potential. Even Mars and Uranus have teamed up to facilitate some quick and smooth change.
Good thing too, because Sunday night ushers in a First-Quarter Square Moon in Capricorn. Status might feel as empty as the calories in a bag o’ chips.
Wanna live by your truth and quit reaching for something that shoots you in the foot? Go for it; it doesn’t get much easier than right now.
