Libra Zodiac Sign: The Complete Guide to the Scales

Tula — Libra — is the zodiac’s diplomat. Ruled by Shukra (Venus), it’s an air sign with a movable nature, drawn to balance, beauty and fairness. Tula wants harmony — in a room, in a relationship, in a decision. And they’ll weigh both sides until everyone’s happy. Or until they’re exhausted.

Quick note: Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, so dates land later than the Western ones, and your Moon and rising signs matter more than your Sun. So this is the broad picture.
