Libra
Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus, covering roughly 23 September to 22 October. In Western astrology it is tied to harmony, relationship and a sense of balance. Having the Sun in Libra describes a person drawn to connection, beauty and the search for the fair middle ground, someone who often defines themselves through their bond with others.
The Libra temperament
If you are a Libra, you reach for accord and the graceful gesture: you weigh, you compare, you want everyone to find their place. Your cardinal air makes you diplomatic, sociable, sometimes indecisive. Your strength is your feel for relationship and fairness; your lesson is learning to choose for yourself without fearing you will break the peace.
Its place in the zodiac
Seventh of the twelve signs, Libra opens autumn and the second half of the zodiac. An air sign, it shares that breath with Gemini and Aquarius; a cardinal sign, it launches the season. Across from it, Aries reminds the part of Libra that thinks in terms of we that it also has the right to a sense of self.
