Answer 2

The Western astrological sign Libra of the tropical zodiac (September 23–October 22) differs from the astronomical constellation and the Hindu astrological sign of the sidereal zodiac (October 31–November 22).

In some cosmologies, Libra is associated with the classical element Air, and thus called an Air Sign (with Aquarius and Gemini). It is also one of the four cardinal signs (along with Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn). Librans are the diplomats of the Zodiac. Their polar opposite is Aries. It is the domicile of Venus and the exaltation of Saturn. Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the seat of its power. Libra rules the lower back and kidneys. The symbol for Libra is the Scales, making it the only sign of this zodiac whose symbol is not a living creature.

Answer 3

Libra is best viewed when it is higher in the southern night sky.Libra consists of 6 main stars that can first be seen in all their glory in late July into early August,and sometimes during this period it plays host to the wonderful gas giant Jupiter,before it starts it journey back to the horizon in early September.
