Libra: The Scales
The Sign After Virgo
Graceful, airy, and diplomatic, Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, beginning its journey right after Virgo's season ends. Ruled by Venus, it embodies balance, partnership, and a quest for harmony.

Harmony in Duality
As the only sign represented by an inanimate object (the Scales), Libra symbolizes the objective measurement of opposing forces. Where Virgo analyzes details, Libra synthesizes relationships.
