Libra is located to the southeast of Virgo and also belongs to the zodiac, although it has very few bright stars and the image of a scale is not obvious, making it a small and not very noticeable constellation.
The four brightest 3m stars in the constellation, α, β, γ, and σ, form a quadrilateral, where the β star in turn forms a large rhombus with the Spring Grand Trine, which you can use to try to find the constellation.
Libra myths
The goddess of justice was the daughter of Zeus, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, was Zeus' brother.
In extremely distant times, mankind dwelt on earth with the gods and lived in peace and happiness. And the Goddess of Justice and Poseidon developed feelings for each other over a long period of time, they respected each other and loved each other. Goddess of Justice had a man-like temperament, firm and passionate; Poseidon was as deep and cold as the sea. Zeus had countless wives and therefore countless sons and daughters, and Poseidon was his only brother, whom he and Hera, the Queen of Heaven, had made with their tears. Not only did Zeus and the Queen of Heaven love him, but all the gods and goddesses in the pantheon treated him as if he were the apple of their eye. The Goddess of Justice, however, is very independent and has a mind of her own.
Human beings were very clever, and they gradually learned to build houses and pave roads, but at the same time they also learned to fight and cheat. War and evil began to spread on earth, and many of the gods could not bear it and went back to live in the sky, but only the goddess of justice and Poseidon stayed behind. The goddess did not despair of mankind, but believed that one day mankind would come to its senses and return to the good and innocent nature of the past. Poseidon, however, lost faith in mankind and pessimistically advised the goddess to return to heaven. Naturally, the goddess does not listen, so the two argue for the first time in their lives. They argued fiercely, escalating from the issue of mankind, and eventually came to the point of each other's origins. The goddess of justice despised Poseidon as nothing more than a puddle of salt water, while Poseidon shook out the scandalous story of Zeus and the fact that the goddess was born out of wedlock. Goddess of Justice is so insulted that she seeks out her father, Zeus, to judge her. Hera, the queen of the heavens, suggests that the two compete to see who can make mankind feel more at peace and whoever loses will apologize to the other. Hera, who favored Poseidon and was jealous of Lady Justice's mother, knew that water was the source of life and would surely make mankind feel peaceful.
The tournament was set in the square of Heaven, and Poseidon started first. When Poseidon waved his hand towards the wall, very beautiful water flowed out of the cracks, crystal clear, making people feel infinitely cool and comfortable when they looked at it. The Goddess of Justice transformed into a tree with a reddish-brown trunk, green leaves and golden olives, which made anyone who looked at it feel love and peace. Poseidon smiled at the goddess, knowing that her wish had finally come true.
Mankind recognized the importance of peace, the goddess and Poseidon made peace, and Zeus commemorated the outcome by throwing the scale he carried with him up into the sky, giving rise to today's constellation Libra.

The characteristics of people born in the fall with their birth star or sun in Libra:
Libra is a symbol of the sign of the arrival of autumn, the autumn spirit is manifested in the Libra is a special sense of smell for the will of the people. You seek the ground of ****similarity and mutual understanding. An amiable disposition keeps hatred and enmity from ever approaching your side. Libra is a gentle, skillful person who needs to live joyfully and to be faithful in friendship and love. Ease and obedience are the main features of your character. These rare feminine qualities can be seen in both men and women who are Libra, with an upright and easy-going character, with the light of charisma shining through everywhere, as well as the artistic inspiration and talent that you harbor. That's Libra for you! The slightest thing can cause you to panic. You are always searching for inner stability and balance, without which you cannot live peacefully. This is someone who can open the way to reconciliation for life's conflicts.
Libra people born in the fall are very careful with their behavior. You should neither be impatient nor simply rude, because your feelings are unpredictable and you sometimes get carried away when you are happy. You are excited about everything that happens around you and know not only the ins and outs of things, but also what timing is most favorable for success. Librans are the best at discovering which people share your interests. Your strengths are: charismatic, gentle, smooth, sharp-eyed and cooperative. Weaknesses are indecisiveness, lack of candor and difficulty in understanding. Excessive pursuit of elegance, conformism, opportunism, attention to trivia, inattentiveness and lack of firmness. You need the admiration and praise of others, and can only live carefree in an environment where you feel pleased. You like to spend your time in the store, shopping for fun and ornamental gifts to give to your close friends. You don't want to live in an environment that lacks warmth and hospitality. Once you fall ill, you feel exceptionally unfortunate and wallow in disappointment. You need to have opportunities where your charm and elegance can be expressed and appreciated; you long to live in a world of art and beautiful fantasies, while avoiding the contradictions, difficulties and troubles of life, where ugly behavior scares you away and rape traumatizes your soul. This tendency can only be made to change if you were born with Mars or Uranus having a greater influence on you.
The destiny of Libra people is often played out or determined in love and marriage. Your love life is beautiful and happy. Peculiar charms will bring you all the desired benefits. In the presence of loneliness, you can be in a state of complete overwhelm (especially if Saturn is in a bad aspect to Venus or the Moon), so Libra people cannot afford to be in solitude for long periods of time, and you need to maintain regular friendships with everyone. If its you part of the birth celestial chart is favorable, then Libra will have a great career in the arts, theater, or anything that requires aesthetic ability. Fashion and luxury business are ideal careers you can choose. But you always need someone who can help you in concrete implementation; you are a layman in material matters. Librans are not good at organizing their material life, expecting everything to come easily, or at least not to take a lot of effort. You never have money on your mind; the concept of money only enters your mind when you want to spend it. You are like a beautiful piece of decorative art that attracts good and sincere people. With a good heart, you are at the mercy of life's caresses and baptisms. At the same time, you make life joyful and bring carefully created comfort and ease to those you love.

And also to moisturize your loving heart with eternal warmth.
If you do not live for love, then you will dedicate yourself to art. Art will be your ideal profession and will enable you to exercise all your talents. However, to be successful, you must overcome the inertia of idleness. Because in the end you prefer "general" to "specialized".

LIBRA CHILDREN

Special care should be taken to prevent you from developing a tendency to think like a "little emperor" and rely on others for everything. Because the talent and charm will often make you feel that you are in a unique environment.
Only with warmth can one get what one wants from the child. For rudeness will overwhelm you. Instead of being alone, you need to socialize with friends and companions on a regular basis. The friends you spend time with will play an important role in your childhood life and even in your destiny and future.
The Libra child is prone to achievement in the arts, aesthetics and purely technical sciences, as well as in law and medicine. Never drive such a child to go beyond the limits of his or her abilities, but you should always be constantly urged and encouraged in your studies, for you are lazy by nature and prone to playfulness and letting yourself go.

People of this sign do not like to argue, so it is easy to win the favor of others, in order to avoid disputes and unpleasant things happen, the Libra people like to take the method of avoiding the problem, and their worst shortcoming is indecisiveness. The concept of "the boat will naturally go straight at the end of the bridge" is y rooted in their minds, so when they encounter troublesome troubles, they will always delay again and again, or even ignore them accordingly. The Libra is prone to give people the impression of laziness, but in fact the real him is not like the appearance of so weak, once the goal is determined, the desire will become very strong, just because of the inner indecision and lead to the appearance of laziness.
People in Libra often seem to be uncaring before they take action, but once they have made up their minds, they will go forward, and most of them will be able to get what they want.

They are naturally expressive and love to be the center of attention and demand warm reactions and appreciation from others. The most common complaint of this sign is: "I've been so good to him, but he treats me like this, he really has no conscience". In the mind of a Libra, there is always a scale weighing whether he can maintain a balance between what he gives and what he receives in return.
Mental performance
The Ascendant is a seeker of beauty, with a high eye for aesthetics, and hates vulgarity. They especially hate arguing with people. People of this sign always make a good first impression on others because they know by nature how to please others, and they themselves are quite good at treating people with courtesy. They are the "elegant faction" without flaws, know the etiquette, no matter when with a warm smile; no matter what they encounter will not lose the original calm and maturity, the most taboo friction and disputes occur.
People in Libra are optimistic by nature and like to call on others for companionship. This kind of personality that is not willing to be lonely is often the biggest spiritual weakness, whether it is at work, in daily life, or even in mental activities that need to be shared with peers***. Just like the balanced relationship symbolized by the balance of this sign, they often have a love-hate relationship with others, either focusing their respect and love on one person, or having extreme dissatisfaction or hatred towards another. As long as it is not related to their own things, the Ascendant can give fair and objective judgment, however, once touched on a personal problem, his balance will sway around, difficult to decide, and even moody, chaotic temper. The main reason why the Ascendant seems to have no opinion is that he has already known in advance the difficulties he may face, and he does not know which point to start from. He has a strong sense of justice and will try to do justice to the weak (without getting involved). His intuition is usually very good, and can occasionally be utilized to help him resolve things. Because of his weak will, the Ascendant is prone to indecision, so when a matter has been analyzed many times, it is important to come to a conclusion without hesitation. The Ascendant should learn the ability to make up his own mind, otherwise he will easily be swayed by others and become unassertive. This shortcoming can be expected to be corrected when Mercury's position is in Virgo. If Mercury is in the Ascendant's position, this shortcoming will be even more obvious (because Mercury is the planet of wisdom, controlling all mental abilities such as perceptiveness, judgment, ability to learn, language, communication, etc.).
Ascendants are pacifists. When you have to get into a hostile relationship with another person, you will restrain your feelings and resolve the situation in a calm manner, never getting angry or insisting on your own ideas. He will not be overly conservative or biased, and will not be too bold or too cautious in his actions. He is flexible in his thinking and can accept all kinds of opinions, and his emotions are also very stable, so he will not show any emotional ups and downs at random. He is also very calm in his emotions, and will not show any emotional ups and downs. He has a decent and elegant demeanor, and is fair and unbiased, so he often plays the role of an arbiter in a group.
Love
The Libra is difficult to have a love affair. He is not a lonely person, so he is often unprepared to accept the feelings of others. To further understand the emotional dynamics of this sign, the position of Venus is decisive.
The Ascendant is probably the most important of the twelve signs of the Zodiac in need of "companionship", in terms of its representative pattern, the degree of importance of balance for its self-evident, so the search for a lifelong good partner for the Ascendant, more importantly, they are eager to *** enjoy the happiness of their partners and because of the importance of their friends, so their partner's friendship will not be unreasonably jealous. However, because they love their loved ones very much, they must be careful not to let too sensitive nature, so that you are too critical of your close partner, you should ask your partner's feelings, in order to minimize the accumulation of grudges due to negligence. There may be disappointment in love and marriage.
Career
The Ascendant is suitable for any job - dirty, the atmosphere is not short-tailed work environment is not included. They are naturally artistic and creative, with an admirable musical and artistic talent, and can achieve success in this area if they can control their addiction to pleasure.
They also have excellent talents in medicine and philanthropy. With their special wit and diplomacy, the Ascendant can easily become a popular person at the cutting edge of the times. Ascendants are not good at being alone, and work well with others rather than on their own. If they want to go into business (they have the business acumen but can't be bothered to deal a fatal blow to their competitors), they will mostly partner with people. Although they will do their best to share their partner's responsibilities in the workplace, partners should beware of a habit of extravagance. They are well suited to artistic or professional endeavors, but not to business pursuits, and should be wary of being cheated when buying valuable items. Being too concerned with the interests of others may jeopardize one's own. Avoid unnecessary ventures in business or personal matters, which may result in losses due to deception. Be careful when signing important documents.
Leisure and Entertainment
They emphasize intellectual life, have a high aesthetic sense and hate vulgarity, so going to art galleries, museums and concerts is the most relaxing way for them. Libra people like to visit static exhibitions such as book fairs and artworks, so you may want to ask them to collect information or find them to roam around with you.
The origin of Libra from Greek mythology
The Sun begins to enter the house of Libra from Sept. 22 for one zodiac month. Libra's counterpart in the Tarot is "fairness". In addition to this, Libra also symbolizes "dominance" and "harmony". It means that criminals are "ruled" by "harmonious" laws; or that couples live "harmoniously" under the "rule" of marriage. The life of the couple under the "domination" of marriage is "harmonized".
So fairness, dominance, and harmony are the basic meanings of the scales. And from Western mythology, we can learn more related allusions:
Greek goddesses of fairness: Themis and Astraea
There are two goddesses representing fairness in ancient Greek mythology, Themis and her daughter Astraea. Themis, the goddess of fairness in charge of the divine realm, was the offspring of Uranus, the god of the sky, and his wife (and mother) Gaea, the goddess of the earth.
Semis was Zeus' counselor when Zeus purged the old pantheon. In mythological depictions, Seamis held the "scales of justice" in one hand and a sword in the other. Her eyes were always closed, meaning that she made decisions based on what was fair in her heart, without interference from reality.
Later, Symmes was united with Zeus and gave birth to a daughter, Asthemia. The word Astromia means "pure virgin of the beautiful starry sky". Astemia later became the goddess of justice in charge of the human world, responsible for resolving various matters related to politics and society. In the mythological depiction, Astemia's ears are adorned with grain and she also holds a sword, but instead of a "balance of justice," she has a scale in her hand to weigh grain.
The ancient poet Hessiod once depicted Astomia in a poem as a "fair virgin". At the side of Zeus, she poured out the evil in the hearts of earthly men to her father. Her protector was Demeter, the god of the valleys.
Venus and the House of Libra
Venus symbolizes Venus in the sky. And according to astrologers, Venus is the planet in charge of the house of Libra and symbolizes fair balance. In the Tarot, Venus' counterpart is the Empress, which symbolizes female fertility.
The origin of the house of Libra
In ancient astrology, the house of Libra did not exist in the ecliptic. The house of Virgo was followed by the house of Scorpion, which is why Astromia was honored in Greek mythology as the goddess in charge of the house of Virgo, not the house of Libra.
Modern astrologers later separated out the part of the original Scorpion house that was considered the "claws of the Scorpion". This part of the astrological region became the house of Libra, the house of equity.
The house of Libra belongs to air, one of the four elements of the world according to the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles (the others being fire, water and earth). The Tarot cards on this aspect symbolize the right decisions and dealing with disputes in daily life
