The Wreaking Joy Podcast

True confession time. I recently hurt my neck, overdoing things at the keyboard. And it was easy to see that I had fallen back into an old pattern of fulfilling other people's needs before listening to my own.

(The good news is, I have a very good chiropractor and I am following instructions to the letter; and I was recently challenged by someone to pick up my old podcast and move it to Substack. And I do mean old – we're talking 2021. 🤪 That means I've been dictating to my phone a lot, and suddenly doing a podcast seems like a really good idea, so here we are.)

The point of the story is that, given the fact that I have four planets in Libra (including my Sun), it would have been incredibly easy for me to tell this as a warning about how being a people pleaser led to my injury.

But that's not actually true.

Because it's not true that Libra is naturally a people pleaser, in that way.

So in today’s episode, I'm out to bust some myths about this surprisingly potent sign - for all the other folks who keep hearing (or saying, of themselves) ‘oh, Libra is SUCH an indecisive people-pleaser’.

There are two paths to any kind of change. One path is fully empress-ey and therefore easier and more effective. The other path is waaaaaay harder, less effective - and it’s the path most of us have been taught.

Most of us were raised to run our lives from principles of judgement, guilt, shame or even brutal self-flagellation. Yes, an empress must be fierce and even willing to harm sometimes. But she also needs a powerful core of compassion and care for her 'citizens' (aka the aspects of her own psyche). Take a lesson from Titus and Domition.
