less like a libran, more like the wind

as horoscopes go, librans get petty bad press around the whole indecisiveness thing. 'will we won't we' is our alleged motto and admittedly that's unlikely to ever feature on many family crests. but i have to say that people seriously misunderstand this libran thing. what we really look for is the right decision and fairness. and that can take some time. but when we have to make a decision--or when we DECIDE to be decisive--then we are as speedy and authoritative as the average Aries. for instance, now that i have children and time alone and unaccompanied is so very rare, i can do things like purchase a pair of shoes in 99 seconds (in a previous life thhis activity could have taken up half a day) or buy an entire trolley full of groceries in 14 minutes. and on the weekend i impressed even myself byy taking sophie into town, to buy a CD, a book, some chhocolates and some aftershave (from 3 separate stores) in a total of 17 shopping minutes which left us 3 minutes for a ride on the andy pandy go-round and enough time to make it back for an open house at yet another place we can't afford to buy (actually this seemed to come with a bonus neighbourhood lamb--it was baaing all over the shop; i'd have to kill it if i lived anywhere near it...)

so when push comes to shove, or needs must, or any other time-based c liche you can think of kicks in, librans can be as decisive as any one else. we just have to want to....
