Libra

Libra (Tula Rashi) is the seventh sign of the Vedic zodiac, spanning 180 to 210 degrees. Ruled by Venus (Shukra) and symbolized by the Scales, Tula represents balance, justice, and the art of relationship. As a cardinal air sign, Libra initiates through diplomacy, creating harmony and establishing fair exchanges between people.

Saturn reaches its exaltation in Libra (at 20 degrees in Swati Nakshatra), making this sign where the principle of karmic justice operates at its highest level. Moon in Libra creates a mind that constantly weighs, evaluates, and seeks equilibrium. Tula natives have an innate sense of fairness and feel genuinely disturbed by injustice or imbalance.

Venus rulership gives Libra natives refined taste, social charm, and the ability to create beauty and harmony in their environment. The Scales symbol represents their core function — to weigh, balance, and judge with impartiality. They are natural mediators, negotiators, and judges.

Tula Rashi contains three nakshatras — the latter padas of Chitra (refined beauty and design), Swati (independent balance), and the first three padas of Vishakha (determined pursuit of justice). The kidneys and lower back are the body parts governed by Libra, connected to the sign's function of filtering, balancing, and maintaining equilibrium. Compatible signs include Gemini, Aquarius, and Aries.
