Libra vs Scorpio

Marianna1230 · June 2012

I go back and forth on my feelings towards astrological signs. Sometimes I think they get a person spot on, sometimes not so much. DH is a physicist so he thinks they are a waste of time.

Either way, as soon as I found out my due date I was curious to see what LO would be. I am right on October 24th, the first day of scorpio but since I am on the cusp, there's a good chance I could have a libra as well. After reading about both signs, I have to say I may have a preference.

Have any of you ladies looked into it? Do you have a preference?

sjgurl784 · June 2012

H's birthday is Oct 1 and I'm due on the 2nd, so the chances of having another Libra in the house are extremely high. If LO is anything like H, I'll be a happy, happy camper. Big Smile

ETA: More often than not, I find the personality traits of the signs are pretty spot on. I'm a Cancer and the personality description fits me to a "T". H is definitely a Libra.

I'm a Scorpio and am due Oct 7th. So we will most likely be having a libra which is my preference. There definitely is not enough room for another Scorpio in the house.

I have found that when it falls in the "not so much" bin for someone, if I can find out their ascendant it makes a whole lot more sense and usually becomes spot on as well

I'm a Capricorn asc. Capricorn so it fits me 100%, FI is an Aries and our relationship is exactly as described when you look up the two together. I can't wait to meet my Libra baby and see how he grows up, it sounds like a perfect match for us!

I'm due the 25th...praying I'll go early and have a libra!

With my first preg I was due in Aug with a Leo- I am like oil and water with them (I am an aquarius) and found that to be a small relief when I mc'ed!

danienross · June 2012

DH's bday is the 22nd so right around the Libra/Scorpio cusp and has personality traits from both. DD is the 26th and definitely a Scorpio. I am hoping for a Libra this time since I already have a Scorpio and I'm also due earlier in the month than I was with DD (was due the 21st with her and due the 11th this time). I'd really like to not go past 42wks.

ETA: I realized there was a small chance I could also have a Virgo baby or a baby on the Virgo/Libra cusp. I'm a Virgo and wouldn't mind. Scorpio's are definitely intense though and I'm not sure I can handle having two of them only two years apart in age. Especially with DH being on the Libra/Scorpio cusp.

winminpin08 · June 2012

My baby will be a scorpio and my DD is a Cancer as am I, the water signs are supposed to be very compatible so I am hoping that bodes well for our family! DH is a Taurus and that is secondarily compatible with Cancer and Scorpio so I think we should all get along and hopefully my DD and new LO will be peas in a pod! (descriptions according to wiki, so take that with a grain of salt, lol)

kross605 · June 2012

In my experience astrological signs are really spot on for most of my close family/friends....DH and I included. DD is a Scorpio through and through. Believe me, you want a Libra!

I should probably clarify that Im an Aquarius so a Scorpio is like my polar opposite but DH is a Cancer so a Scorpio is a perfect match for him. And truly, DH and DD are made for each other. They are total buddies and he has always been better at figuring out how to turn off her tantrums and comfort her than I have been.

veronicajudith · June 2012

DH and I are both Libras. Needless to say, we are very similar, but oh do we have our moments. I do believe what I once read that in relationships, Libra women are generally very loyal and sincere whereas Libra men are affectionate and sensitive. Waaaaaaay more sensitive than me.

Don't know how it'll be with another Libra little man in the house. Peaceful, I hope.

Me too I'm a Scorpia and due October 5th - though recently I heard especially girl Libra's can be .. well.. I think it will be better then a Scorpia against a scorpio

nitrofem · June 2012

When my husband and I were trying to conceive we actually tried to plan it so that we would have a scorpio. I am a third generation scorpio after my mom and my grandma so the three of us couldn't be happier that we are adding the 4th little scorpion to our family. My husband, on the other hand, will have a lot on his hands with all of us crazy women

Indifferent

Ok, I am going to attempt to be rational here and assume you meant that you were able to find something - even something like astrological signs - to take comfort in when you m/c.

But really, when I read that, It absolutely sounds like you were glad you m/c so you didn't have to deal with a Leo.

So, before I go bat crap crazy, please, please clarify which meaning you intended. Please.

Glad you mentioned this/called it out. I hope, too, that you simply meant you found comfort in something during your m/c. As another m/c loss gal, I find what you wrote appalling on surface level. Please explain.

Dafuq?

Seriously?

SParkman80 · June 2012

I am a Scorpio and my LO is due three days after my birthday. Yikes! I'm a little frightened of having two Scorpio's in the same house. Especially once she's a teenager!

Dix, your comment really surprised me. Please tell me I'm reading into your comment incorrectly!

Yes, this. I'm hoping she didn't mean this as it sounded.

As someone who has suffered recurrent loss I can identify with this sentiment. Something along the lines of "it wasn't meant to be" or something.

People deal with m/c differently, people. We feel what we feel.

elfchique · June 2012

Looks like I have my UO a day early. I think it's all hogwash. ;-)

dixneuf · June 2012

oh wow, it's getting read into too much - total misunderstanding. No need to threaten me.

it was a small silver lining. Trust me, I much rather would not have mc'ed (it was horrible) and would gladly take a healthy baby of any sign, including a leo.

thank you for clarifying. But why is it our fault that something you wrote came across as offensive? One can't read tone on a screen. You are kind of coming across as self-righteous right now. But I am glad you didn't mean the m/c comment the way it sounded.

No but there is context for Dix. She's a regular poster who is sensitive, has posted about her loss before and I can't think of a time when she has been less than compassionate.

mo1012 · June 2012

I'm a Libra and I'm excited about having another little Libra

thanks. I would like to think that I post here enough (and get along with everyone) that I'd at least be given the benefit of the doubt.

I did give you the benefit of the doubt. I asked for clarification rather than writing the first thing that came to mind when I read it.

cynnnabun · June 2012

I'm not going to lie. I don't get signs. I'm gemini, and what I've read doesn't seem to apply to me. And DH is cancer, and I don't think it applies to him either. DD1 is cancer also although I believe she's on the cusp. IDK. I just don't see it.

Mrs.G123 · June 2012

I don't give a good goddamn about astrological signs. I am a libra and it sounds like this LO will be too, as my EDD is a week after my birthday.

jamiefour · June 2012

I am born October 23rd so I am right on the cusp. Some things say libra, and some say scorpio. I guess I have traits of both.

milkandhoney77 · June 2012

I am a scorpio and I have to say I've never gotten along with Libras. But LO will most definately be a Libra so luckily I don't believe in in too much. Hubby is also a scorp.
