Libra, the seventh sign of the natural zodiac, is known as Tula (तुल/துலாம்) in Sanskrit. It represents balance and those born under it are said to have balance in all aspects of life. As the second air sign (following Gemini) and third cardinal sign (after Aries and Cancer), Libra inherits qualities from its predecessors while being a distinct combination of movement and air. It embodies the ever-changing desires of humanity.

Libra's desire for balance often creates a paradoxical situation where it becomes both the most balanced and imbalanced sign. It has a tendency to constantly seek what's next and doesn't easily settle for happy endings, finding them mundane. Instead, Libra values the interplay of good and bad and seeks a mix of flavors in all aspects of life, including their food.
