Libra or Scorpio?
Libra is a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus, symbolized by the scales. Scorpio is a fixed water sign ruled by Mars, symbolized by the scorpion.
In short: Libra is the cardinal air sign ruled by Venus. It begins at the September equinox, when day and night are about equal, and its scales stand for balance, fairness and partnership.
Scorpio is the fixed water sign, traditionally ruled by Mars and, in modern astrology, by Pluto. It is associated with emotional depth, privacy, loyalty and transformation.
