Astrological Sun Signs: Libra in Brief

Those born between September 24th and October 23rd are ruled by the sign of Libra, whose astrological symbol is the balance scales. The scales of Libra is one of the few signs in western astrology that is neither human nor animals. The balance scales remind us that the time of Libra was when the harvest was weighed and measured against other years and other farmers. Public declarations of contractual partnerships were made and fulfilled as good were exchanged for their fair market value. But the perfect balance of the Libran scales was a reminder that the the winter was fast approaching. Many things are important when the winter finally comes, including a balanced and healthy relationship.

Libra is associated with relationships, partnerships, coming before the public, contracts, diplomacy, harmony and balance, art, beauty, and marriage. the parts of the body ruled by Libra are the diaphragm and the kidneys, as these are placed in the middle of our bodies, providing balance.

Those people born under the sign of Libra function best when in pursuit of harmony and balance.
