When you hear the word "lie", you probably think of something bad, but there is a type of lie that is said to serve a positive purpose - to maintain peace and harmony. These 'white' lies are often harmless and are used to avoid conflict or protect others' feelings. But which zodiac signs are most prone to using these subtle tricks? Let's check who among us twists the truth into something more acceptable the most.
'White' lies are those little untruths that people tell to avoid embarrassing situations or to protect the feelings of others. For example, when someone asks you a question about your appearance, you respond with “You look great!” even though you may not be entirely sure. These are lies that are socially acceptable and often even expected in order to maintain good relationships.
1. Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Libras are known for their love of harmony and balance in life. They are diplomatic and always looking for a way to avoid conflicts. Because of this need to keep the peace, Libras are often masters of 'white' lies. Instead of risking misunderstandings or ill will, they prefer to wrap the truth in a nicer paper and tell you what you want to hear. Their purpose is not to manipulate, but to protect the feelings of others and maintain harmony in relationships.
Motives: Libras use 'white' lies mainly to avoid tension and conflict. Their goal is to create a pleasant environment for everyone around them, even if it means they have to adjust the truth a bit.

Their lies are always aimed at the welfare of the other and rarely ever turn out to be harmful.
Motives: Cancers care more about protecting other people's feelings than telling the truth. Their 'white' lies are a form of protectiveness and caring, which stems from their strong connection with family and loved ones.
