      Libras, born between September 23 and October 22, are known for their love of beauty, harmony, and balance. The sign is known to be the charmer of the zodiac, with a particular interest in all things beauty and aesthetics. Libras stay afloat through their dedication to their values and their appreciation of beauty in every scenario.
      They are ruled by Venus, the planet of love and aesthetics, which often makes them drawn to elegant, stylish, and thoughtful gifts.
