The MyTH Of The Constellation

"Libra represents balance and justice, harmony and equilibrium. In Greek Mythology, the Goddess of Justice is Themis. She is usually seen as a woman who is blindfolded holding the scale in her hands. She is the mother of Astraea. The constellations of Virgo and Libra shine side by side in the celestial sky. She is also said to return with her daughter when the Golden Age comes again."
