Libra

The Scales of the Sky and the Whisper of Harmony.

Long ago, when the veil between heaven and earth was sheer, and truth still walked among mortals, the gods entrusted the balance of the world to a celestial spirit known as Dike, daughter of Themis, the great Titaness of divine order.

Dike was not a warrior, yet her presence stilled tempests. She was not a queen, yet kings bowed to her wisdom. With a gaze clear as moonlit glass and a voice like the hush between heartbeats, she carried the Scales of Justice – golden, weightless, and impossibly precise.

Each day she travelled between realms, weighing the deeds of gods and men alike. She measured not only actions, but intensions – the whispers beneath the words, the flickers behind the eyes. For Dike knew that true balance was not perfection, but the dance between opposites: dark and light, give and take, self and other.

But as the ages turned and mortals strayed further from the path, her heart grew heavy. The scales began to tip. No longer could she hold the balance in a world that refused to listen. So, she returned to the stars, and the gods carved her likeness into the heavens as Libra, the constellation of equilibrium, grace, and sacred truth.

From above she watches still, offering her quiet wisdom to those that walk the path of harmony. And in every artist that creates beauty in chaos, in every peacemaker who listens deeper than they speak, in every soul who dares to love without losing themselves – Dikes legacy lives on. To be born under Libra is to carry the remembrance that balance is a sacred act. That love, when offered with fairness and authenticity, is the most divine of forces.

Your path is to restore beauty in the fractured spaces

To weigh with the heart, and not just the mind. To remind the world that peace is not passive – it is a choice, refined with every breath.

To be born under this sign means you are the keeper of the in-between, where beauty becomes balance, and truth is revealed through reflection. You harmonize the human and the divine, reminding us that grace is a kind of strength

Libra is a small but ancient constellation, once considered part of Scorpius - its claws. It contains two fixed stars Zubenelgenubi at 15-degrees Libra, its southern claw linked to justice, balance, and karmic reckoning. It is also home to Zubeneschamali at 19-degrees Libra, this fixed star is considered lucky and benevolent, the northern scale pan.
