The origin of the Libra zodiac sign can be traced back to ancient Greek mythology.

According to the Greek myth, the goddess of justice and balance, Astrea, was the last deity to leave the earth during the Golden Age. She was upset with the growing wickedness of humans and decided to leave because she could no longer bring balance and justice to the world.

Before she left, Astrea left her symbol, the scales of justice, behind to remind humans to always seek balance and fairness in their actions. The scales became known as the symbol of the zodiac sign Libra.

In astrology, those born under the Libra zodiac sign are thought to be diplomatic, charming, and fair-minded individuals who seek harmony and balance in all areas of life. They are known for their ability to see both sides of an issue and make decisions that benefit everyone involved.

Libra is the only zodiac sign represented by an inanimate object, the scales, which reflects their desire for impartiality and justice. Their ruling planet is Venus, the goddess of love, which gives them a natural charm and appreciation for beauty.

Some famous Libras include Mahatma Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, Serena Williams, and Kim Kardashian.
