Libra
About Libra
Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, ruled by Venus and associated with the 7th house. The Sun is in Libra from late September to late October, which marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Libra represents the principle of balance, harmony, and cooperation. It symbolizes the equilibrium of day and night at the fall equinox, and our quest for fairness, beauty, and mutuality.
The polarity of Lira is Aries, which is Cardinal Fire. The Aries-Libra axis is about independence vs. relating.
