Libra (♎︎) (Ancient Greek: Ζυγός, romanized: Zygós, Latin for "scales") is the seventh astrological sign in the zodiac. It spans 180°–210° celestial longitude.[2] The Sun transits this sign on average between September 23 and October 23.[3][4] The symbol of the scales is based on the Scales of Justice held by Themis, the Greek personification of divine law and custom.[5] She became the inspiration for modern depictions of Lady Justice. The ruling planet of Libra is Venus along with Taurus.[6][7] Libra is the only zodiac sign that is represented by an object; the other eleven signs are represented by either an animal or a mythological character.[8]
