September 23 - October 22
Libra - Latin for "the Balance" or "the Scales", from the Greek word Zygos. This sign was originally called, "the Claws", which were attached to the constellation Scorpio; the later idea of a balance most likely derived from the relative equality of day and night at the autumnal equinox.
Libra is balance. Libra will work with concentration and relax with dedication. Some Libras do seek perfection, which can make life trying for those who live with them.
Love and marriage is important to Libra. If you are lucky to marry Libra, your home will be filled with art and music.
