Libra – The 7^th Sign of the Zodiac

Individuals born between 13th October – 7th November are born under the Libra, the 7th astrological star sign.

Libra, the seventh constellation of the Sign of the Zodiac, is located between Virgo and Scorpio and is best observed in the Northern Hemisphere during spring.

The Sun passes South Eastward through Libra from about October 24 to November 22, during its sojourn south of the celestial equator. Among Libra’s stars are three binaries: the two stars of Alpha Librae are just barely resolvable to the naked eye; Beta Librae, with the unusual colour of green, is a spectroscopic binary; and Delta Librae is an eclipsing binary.

Libra is considered a positive sign (sometimes referred to as male/masculine, positive, active, dominant, yang or diurnal) as is one of the odd-numbered signs of the zodiac.

The goal for Libra is to witness the importance of co-operation and harmony in human life. Libra is represented by a pair of scales – the only sign to be represented by an inanimate object. This says something about the Libra objective – to be fair and balanced in everything in a detached way

Libra’s birthstone is Opal, a semiprecious gem long valued for its play of colours and milky-to-pearly opalescence which is usually rounded and polished to display these properties best.
