Libra Sign Dates & Traits
LIBRA PERSONALITYTRAITS
September 23 - October 22
Since ancient times, people have observed the movement of celestial bodies and sought to predict the future or a person's fate based on their positions. Those born under the same zodiac sign were attributed certain personality traits, tendencies, and behavioral patterns. The zodiac constellation Libra (Latin Libra) is located between Virgo and Scorpio and includes 83 stars visible to the naked eye.
Interesting Fact: The Sun passes through the constellation Libra from October 31 to November 22, but in astrology, the dates are from September 23 to October 22. This discrepancy is due to astrology using dates established about 2,000 years ago, by which time the constellations had shifted.
