It’s all about the balance between self and others. JUPITER expands LIBRA’s positive and negative qualities.
The LIBRA positive side:

Beauty as a mainstay in culture, fare treatment, peace makers, valuing the arts and artists, non-hierarchical, balancing karma with dharma.
The LIBRA shadow or dark side
Injustice, selfishness, war mongers, psychopaths, superficiality, inability to make decisions, imbalance, blindness, superiority, inability to relate to others, hatred, tipping the balance in favor of those with the most power or money. Opinionated, doesn’t listen to others needs or wants.
