Symbol: The Scales
Scale symbolizes balance. Also, it shows weighing or assessing the situation before taking any action. Life is all about the act of balancing dualities and taking a middle path. For example, if you take love, one extreme becomes possessiveness and another extreme becomes hatred. Therefore one needs to balance out and be in the center. Moreover Libra is like a junction between two sides of the zodiac, so this symbol looks very apt.
Element: Air (Vayu Tatwa)
Air is the element of thinking and communication. Air signs are imaginative and thought oriented signs. Air signs use more intelligence and are curious in nature. Generally, airy signs are social in nature. They are good at mediating with others. In a natural zodiac, air signs come under kama trikona (trine), which represents desires. These desires then turn into imagination and fantasy.
