Interesting points on both sides.  Spoken like a true Libran ---- myself, of course.  Yes, it is the struggle of balance that is the problem.  Always.

The fundamental physics behind the scale...it swings.  There is nothing definite about which way it will swing.  Maybe the general direction, but never a precise measurement.

I have the luxury of being less "indecisive" b/c my moon is in Scorpio.  Thank God.

So does anyone else know very well that they have this wishywashy, indecisive trait, yet they can not stand that trait in others?  AS though you are attracted to people who are very definite where their views lay?  Do you know what I mean?  

Furthermore, so many books talk about how "flaky" Librans are.  It's the earth signs that are more likely to need the picture straightened or to have everything in it's rigid place.  

Nonetheless Abishek, I think this is very interesting.  Libra is one of the more mysterious signs.  I may be wrong, and feel free to correct me, but the Persians, Greeks and Romans had a difficult time categorizing the Libra sign.  We are the only sign with an inanimate object for our symbol.......leading so many to think we are shallow and cold.  So untrue!  At least imho.    

I think the only "animate" objects Libra is assoc. w/is the snake and Anubis.  

Nothing is clear cut with Libra.  No wonder we're indecisive!  lol

I like the concept of "blind justice".

I see the scales symbolizing my need to weigh every fact and option before making any decision (even something as mundane as choosing a snack) or forming an opinion. And yet like a true scale, even if it reaches a point of balance, something added to either side could easily change this decision or opinion.

It is sometimes frustrating to be this way (for both myself and those close to me...so i've been told), other times I find it very useful.

Often times I find myself not wanting to take any side, being content with seeing and analysing all possibilities.

I can see how Libras would be perceived as cold or emotionally distant. It's a mental (air) sign and a cardinal sign at that.

Of course it doesn't really have any bearing, as Libras are generally quite passionate and sensitive, it's just that they are able to calculate despite this, and once they get into a habit of doing that, thinking and weighing becomes the natural response regardless of immense emotional turmoil.

I'm pretty sure it was the romans that introduced the Libra sign. Before that the Libra constellation was part of the Scorpio constellation - it made up the scorpions claws.
