♎︎ Libra
Balance, partnership, the art of the fair.
The Sun crosses Libra each year around September 23 – October 22, the span most people mean when they say they “are” a Libra. On the clock it occupies the 180°–210° arc of the gold ring, traditionally ruled by Venus.

No planets are passing through Libra at the moment. The ring waits empty.
Libra is the cardinal air sign, belonging to the positive, outward-turned half of the zodiac: a mental, sociable, idea-first key. Being cardinal, it wants to start things and set them moving.
The tropical zodiac keys Libra to the turning year: it opens autumn at the September equinox, day and night in balance. Its traditional ruler is Venus, the planet of harmony fits the sign of the balanced pair. In the old body-map the sign governs the kidneys and lower back.
At its best Libra offers grace that finds the fair middle. Under strain the same nature can become a choice postponed forever.
