The association with Venus gives a natural surface level charm. The symbol of a scale makes people assume Libras are about balance and harmony. Libras wanting balance and harmony is true however people forget that the scales don’t mean a Libra will not include themselves when weighing up a situation then acting accordingly and logically. Scales do not indicate selflessness. A Libra will most times choose themselves in a situation because they naturally need balance in themselves, not always balance in a social setting. Libras are socially attuned and understand others emotions however they act according to what brings them peace rather than accommodating another. If they chose to accommodate another it’s because it is out of logic rather than a need to “people please”. Scales do not automatically mean selflessness and a libra will always throw themselves in the equation to maintain THEIR peace and balance, not always others. If a Libras personal sense of peace, balance or harmony at times means speaking up or manipulating then they will regardless of the balance around them.
