The constellation, which had originally formed part of the claws of the scorpion (Scorpio), is the youngest of the Zodiac and the only one not to represent a living creature. In later Greek mythology, the constellation, which when considered on its own looks vaguely like a set of scales, was considered to depict the scales held by Astraea (identified as Virgo), the goddess of justice.
Since Libra was originally part of Virgo (as scales), and before that part of Scorpio, it was not a distinct entity for which a zodiac sign was named. Its place may have been taken by Boötes, which is the nearest to the ecliptic. Since the place Boötes should have held on the ecliptic is vacant, it may have, together with Ursa Major, Draco, and Ursa Minor, also in Libra, led to the myth of the apples of the Hesperides, one of The Twelve Labours of Herakles.

Libra Mythology Story

I will give you some good points and some bad points, since all signs have both of course. Libra is an "air" sign.( Every sign has an element-fire, earth, air, or water-3 signs in each) This does not mean you are an airhead. Think more "free spirit". The other two air signs are Gemini and Aquarius. Libras do not like conflict and try to be diplomatic in every situation HOWEVER they are very concerned with "justice" and will fight if they think someone is being treated unfairly. Be careful about being too materialistic and judgemental. You can be quite "uppity" if you don't watch it. This is pretty basic but I hope I helped.

Short Form:
its more or less the mythology of Persephone, She was kidnapped by Hades (Pluto), and because she is bound to the underworld she cannot return, so when her mother (Demeter) asks Zeus (Jupiter) to get her Zeus is forced to divide her time amongst the upperworld and the underworld, and creating balance.
