TULĀ LAGNA; LIBRA ASCENDANT:
Libra is the seventh Sign of Natural Zodiac represented by a weighing scale and a marketplace. The marketplace symbolizes the exchange of goods, services, and ideas, highlighting the need to balance opposing forces, such as buyers and sellers, givers and takers. Governed by the planet of beauty, Venus, and also influenced by Saturns’s, the planet of effort, who is exalted here, Libra sees the Sun, the planet of royalty, in its fall.
This is a Chara-rasi (mobile sign) reflecting constant change, and a Vāyuttatva (Air elemen Sign) that fosters intellectual pursuits. Like Kanya (Virgo), Libra is known for having a long ascension time of 160 minutes, which typically results in individuals with tall statures. Those born under Libra often have a moderate complexion, influenced by the combination of Venus(who has a slightly darker complexion) and Saturns’s (who is darker). Venus influence imparts grace and beauty, contributing to features like broad hips, smooth hair, large eyes, and a round, pleasant face. Individuals with this sign tend to be polite and amicable.
People born under Libra are often courteous, gentle, kind, and intuitive. However, due to the fast-moving nature of VenusMoon, and Budha, they can also be fickle-minded and changeable. Being the Sign of partnership and exchange, Libra signifies success through companionship, marriage, and trade partnerships. The person's tastes and preferences can fluctuate based on their moods, and they may be prone to mood swings.

Libra-born individuals generally have a graceful appearance, but sometimes due to Saturn’s influence on the Lagna (Ascendant), they may have a disproportionate physique, as Saturns’s represents lameness. The effects of Saturn can lead to a lack of physical harmony. Some Libra individuals also lack good manners (sila-varjita), despite being naturally polite, as this Sign is linked with disputes and verbal arguments, akin to a courtroom or marketplace environment.
The Libra individual may have fluctuating wealth, as wealth is determined by the 2nd house, which is in Scorpio Sign, where the Moon’s influence weakens. This lack of stability in wealth is often a consequence of weak planetary influences in the individual's chart. Similarly, they may suffer from poor physical vitality because the Sun, the indicator of vitality, is in its fall in Libra.
Libra-born individuals are generally phlegmatic and prone to windy disorders such as arthritis, rheumatism, or respiratory issues. They are often inclined to conflicts, quarrels, or reconciliations, as the 6th house of disputes is prominent in their chart.
Regarding appearance, they usually have a long face and physique, influenced by Saturn, the planet that signifies tall and emaciated figures. They are righteous, learned, and eloquent, with strong intellectual abilities. The native is also prone to sadness, as Saturns’s influence tends to instill a melancholic outlook, despite overall comfort in their lives.
Libra individuals possess a positive intellect (sumedhāḥ), drawn towards learning and knowledge, with influences from planets like Jupiter and Mercury. They also have a tendency to injure others’ honour, due to the presence of Venus, the planet of speech, in the 6th house.
Their eyes are often beautiful and dark due to the influence of Venus, who rules over beauty and charm. Libra-born individuals also have a strong sense of respect towards guests, scholars, and divine figures, and are charitable by nature (dātā). They are truthful and gentle and often show affection towards their brothers.
They are pre-eminent and honor-bound due to the influence of Venus and Saturn, who together bring a sense of nobility and respect. Their life’s work is often centered on righteousness, which is why they are inclined to help others and be a beacon of kindness in their communities.
The Libra-born person is guided by the concept of Rightfully Lucky , meaning they act in accordance with the right time, place, and circumstances. Their devotion to their Guru or preceptor is notable, and their righteous path often leads them to practice charity and truthfulness in their lives.
