Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Known as 'Tula' in Hindi, Libra is ruled by Venus. The seventh sign lasts from September 24th to October 23rd.

People born under this sign are more diplomatic than any other sign. Librans always seek balance and harmony. They like pleasing others. They can spend hours debating each side of an argument and this is one reason that they are often seen as lawyers.

Librans are sociable, cheerful and charming people. Librans are sensitive to the needs of others. They are highly understanding towards the emotional needs of their companions and they meet them with their own innate optimism. Indecision is a problem for Librans, who find it difficult to make up their minds and strongly dislike taking sides. Although they hate others being rude, they can themselves be brash and blunt.
