Libra is called the scales. In ancient times, the sun passed through Libra at the autumnal equinox (when the day and night are the same length). Many middle Eastern cultures used Libra to represent justice. In Greek astronomy, the stars that now make up Libra were the claws of Scorpio. Libra is easiest to see in May. Eventually, Libra came to represent the Golden Chariot of Hades. This connects with the autumn, as Hades falls in love with the Persephone, the daughter of Demeter (the goddess of the harvest). The scales are also sometimes associated with Virgo, and the goddess of justice. Libra is the sign for people born between September 23 and October 22.
[Greeting Art Card Text] "Libra"
Raven haired Lady Justice
rises above an earthly blue sphere,
Her robes of pure white light
reflect the heavens for which she stands judge.
Her countenance, doubled,
forms the "Scales of Weighing".
Justice and balance are her realm.
She is the harmonizer, the peacemaker.
Libra women is perfectly centered.
She strives to teach us balance in all things.
