I think Libra is the most misunderstood sign. I don’t mean this in a hate meme context or a Mercury detriment / retrograde sense – I think Libra, as an archetype, is frustratingly, fundamentally misconstrued. The seventh house & Venusian parts of their personality are over-emphasized to the point of overshadowing everything else. People forget that they’re also an air sign, they’re masculine, and they’re cardinal. They’re not all that sensitive and sentimental the way people make them out to be, as if they’re a water sign. The other two signs that share some level of rulership over Venus, Taurus & Pisces, are much more that way than Libra is. Libras initiate for themselves: they seek (as an air sign) and create (as a cardinal sign) the peace & harmony they desire instead of passively waiting for it to just happen. I don’t think they’re very passive at all. They compromise, but that doesn’t make them submissive. They compromise to achieve what they want. Libra is Aries’ sister sign, meaning Libra & Aries have a lot in common. I’ve never met a weak Libra.
