Libra is the seventh astrological sign, only one that is a symbol neither animal nor human. The scales represent balance and justice, harmony, and equilibrium.
It is also associated with the Harvest, like Virgo. In ancient times, grains and crops are weighed on scales after they are harvested. The most interesting thing is they are scales of judgment for the dead, where souls are weighed to see if they are good or bad.
Now, in the religion of the Egyptians, the scales of judgment were the sole province of the God Arubis , whom is the conductor of souls. He guided the dead through the underworld and made sure they were weighed fairly as possible. He was the master of balance. There is a painting that exists where it shows a judgment scene, and its called, “Papyrus of Ani”, dated round 1500 B.C.
Arubis is crunching by a large scale and weighs the heart of a dead person. There are two bowls: in one bowl, rests the heart; 2nd bowl, truth sits and is symbolized by a feather. In this representation, the scale is equally balanced. In the religion of Egyptians, the dead heart had to be in harmony with truth before it passes into after life.

It is the sixth sign of the zodiac and second to have a human representation rather than an animal.
The Virgo Legend is found in the Greek mythology of creation. Before men or animals lived on Earth, Titans, which is a race of giants, who ruled the world.
Two titan brothers, Prometheus and Epimetheus, were given the task of creating humans and animals. When done, each was given different gifts, but when it came to mankind, Epimetheus needed his brother’s help so he asked. He went into heaven and gave the mankind gift of fire.
Because of this, Jupiter, chief of Gods, bound Prometheus to a rock on Mount Caucasus. His liver was consumed by an eagle. He sent a curse to Earth the first woman, Pandora. “A gift of all Gods.”
But with her was a box, which wasn’t to be opened and was by Pandora herself; out came plagues to haunt mankind forever, sickness and death.
(At the bottom of the box lay hope which never escaped!)

and mortal woman, Alcmena.
Juno, who is Jupiter’s jealous wife because of his numerous love affairs, was dead set against Hercules since he was a baby.
When Hercules was a young man, he was bound to do 12 heroic and desperate undertakings, known as the 12 Labors of Hercules.
Now his first labor was to kill the Nemean Lion. He was not able to kill it with arrows but with his bare hands. He wrestled with it and the Nemean Lion was strangled to death. In the process, Hercules finger was bit off and Hercules got off lightly.

It’s the 4th sign sign of the zodiac, symbolized by a crab, This is a water creature which is also capable walking on land. it was placed in the zodiac some 5 hundred years before Christ. The Chaldean gave the crab the name of cancer because of the crab’s backward movement which appeared to represent the Sun’s movement upon reaching this sign.
when it reaches the sign of Cancer, it seems to remain stationary for a few days.
It begins the Summer’s Solstice and is the very Solstice which means” The Sun is Standing Still”.
According to Greek legend, Cancer is the giant crab which attacked the foot of Hercules while he was engaged in battle with the monstrous nine-headed serpent, Hydra.
The crab’s attack on Hercules was instigated by Juno, Jupiter’s jealous wife, who was set on Hercules destruction. Unfortunately, the Crab seated its doom, for Hercules crushed it before proceeding to dispatch the Hydra. Because the Crab carried out Juno’s orders, it was placed amongst the heavens with other heroic symbols.

Gemini is the sign of the twins. The third sign of the zodiac and it is also the first to have a human instead of an animal as the symbol.
The myth is, (remember, Jupiter has an eye for pretty faces if you know the history of him), Leda, who was married to Tyndareus, the King of Sparta, was an object of Jupiter’s affections so he changed himself to a swan, because he didn’t want to try the bull play another time (twice as Taurus) and managed to seduce Leda while disguised as a swan.
Next, she bore two eggs, and one was the offspring of Jupiter and the other was the mortal’s husband. Well, they were both mortal. The two eggs produced four children..now that is weird. How can that be? Well Two were brothers and two were sisters. Castor and Pollux; Helen of Troy (everybody must remember her! The movie Troy!) and Clytemnestra. It is not clear who Jupiter sired, some think it was Castor and Pollux, but others think it could been Castor and Helen.
Just so you know, Castor and Pollux are the twins!!

The ram has always been courageous and enterprising, able to bound over obstacles and rocky terrain.
The story begins in ancient Greece whereas a king named Athamus has ruled the province of Boetia. he married a woman Nephele and had two beautiful children; a son and daughter Phrixus and Helle.
After awhile, Athamus tired of Nephele and deserted her. He later married a woman Ino and a woman who is very jealous of his two other children. They also had two children of their own, two sons. But Ino wanted to plot his other children’s deaths and so it was done because the King wanted to save his people unless his children was sacrificed.
