Libra can only be happy if the scales are balanced. If not, then they'll be anxious at best, can show the crabby side which Libra has (whether as a result of the scales too out of whack or as a cardinal "balance" to the diplomatic side is up for debate), and downright insane (capable of harming self or others) at worst. Linda Goodman described how even working in an office with a bad color scheme could wreck Libra (though I'm not that fussy myself, and LG has been known to exaggerate for comedic effect). I imagine a stellium makes it all the easier for the scales to go out of whack as only one set of scales need to go out of whack to affect the person born with such a chart, and if several of those scales became unbalanced, I could see it becoming very bad.

I know I have to take care of myself in certain ways, and find ways to bring balance to my life, and where I can go when my scales get out of whack...and very glad I don't work a 9-5 job like the kind so many describe working at, I doubt I could handle it without going bonkers, probably getting on a bunch of antidepressants and the like as so many others do to medicate against the pain (or maybe I'd go old school with alcohol).

You can't value a person too much or else when they displease you ...your self worth is shot.

Lol it's cool now... My parents got me a dog today, so something is up.

People who attempt suicide aren't being "selfish", they are being swallowed by a world of pain that is so overwhelming they can't see any way out but to end their lives. Those who have never experienced that kind of pain/desperation should try to keep their judgments to a minimum. IT HELPS NO ONE. Understanding and compassion is what is needed here... and a helping hand.

Now back to original topic: suicide in the chart. I too suffered from suicidal tendencies and made numerous attempts when I was younger. I agree with other posters that you can only really see mental "disharmony" in the chart, not suicide itself.

Saturn is a big player in that. My Saturn opposes Neptune and makes a grand trine to my sun, merc, pluto conjunction and to my moon. Plus I have 4 planets in the 3rd house (which rules the mind) of Virgo (ruled by Mercury).

Am I little busy in the head? Oh yeah. So when transits come along they can really trigger the desire to make the Great Escape.

The blessing with astrology is that we can use the natal chart to gain a deeper understanding of how our minds are uniquely afflicted, then choose to walk a path of personal growth to help deal with, heal, and counter those afflictions.
