The golden scales

Libra�(♎) is the seventh�astrological sign�in the�Zodiac, originating from the�constellation of Libra. In�western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of theprecession of the equinoxes. In�astrology, Libra is considered a "masculine",�positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered an�air sign�and is one of four�cardinal signs.^[2]�Libra is�ruled�by the planet�Venus�(which also rules�Taurus). Being the seventh sign of the zodiac, Libra has been associated with the astrological seventh�house.

Individuals born when the�Sun�was in this sign are considered Libra individuals. Under thetropical zodiac, the Sun enters Libra on the moment of�autumnal equinox�by definition on September 23, leaving it on October 22. Under the�sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly around October 19 and November 16.

[edit]Mythology

The constellation of the Scales (MUL Zibanu) were known in Babylonia where it is used as an alternative name for the Claws of the Scorpion. The Scales were held sacred to the Sun God Shamash, who was also the patron of truth and justice.[5] Since these times, Libra has been represented intrinsically with law, fairness and civility, as the scales were commonplace in the livelihood of the people, throughout the ages. The symbol for Libra is the Scales, making it the only zodiac sign of which the symbol is not a living creature. In Roman mythology, Libra is considered to depict the scales held by Astraea (identified as Virgo), the goddess of justice.

[edit]Compatibilities

Generally, the Libra sign are considered to be compatible with other airy signs such as,�Aquarius,Gemini, and fire and cardinal signs such as, Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius and Capricorn.�^[3]�These signs share an�airy�demeanor and are believed to relate with each other on that merit of airiness.

There are many variables that determine compatibility in astrology, such as birth dates, birth months, birth years, position of a sign within the Moon, Stars, etc. The signs listed as compatible with Libra do not reflect an�individual profile�or�individual reading�as interpreted within astrology, but rather reflect a general guideline and reference to compatibility as dictated by variables such as�Qualities�and�Elements�within the Zodiac.^[3]�The branch of astrology dealing with interpersonal compatibilities is called�Synastry.
