Sign 7 of 12
Libra
Libra begins at the autumn equinox, when day and night are equal. It looks for balance, fairness and beauty, thinks in relationships, and dislikes open conflict.
Libra pairs the Air element with the Cardinal mode. In the tropical zodiac the Sun passes through it from 23 September to 22 October.
In the sidereal zodiac used by Vedic astrology the same 30° sit about 24° further on, so the Sun is there from about 17 October to 15 November.
