The constellation of Libra is named after the Latin word for weighing scales, which makes it unique among the Zodiac as the only representation of an inanimate object. While it may not have any first magnitude stars, it is still possible to view it with the naked eye, though it appears relatively faint.
The association of Libra with scales and balance dates back to the ancient Babylonians, who viewed the scales as representing the balance between the seasons, as well as day and night. The ancient Greeks, on the other hand, saw Libra as the claws of Scorpius, reaching out into the sky.
The Romans associated Libra with the scales of justice being held by the goddess Virgo or Astraea, which is why it is often associated with fairness and equilibrium. In modern times, Libra is still seen as a symbol of balance and harmony, and is often used in astrology to represent those born between September 23 and October 22.
