Tula · Scales / balance
Libra
The harmonizer — fair, refined, partnership-oriented.
Tula is ruled by Venus (in its airy, mental aspect) and embodies the principle of balance, fairness, refinement, and partnership. Libra natives weigh, mediate, and seek harmony in everything. They are often beautiful, well-mannered, and skilled in the arts of relationship. Saturn is exalted here at 20° — the planet of restriction and law finds its most just expression in fair, balanced Libra. The sign rules the lower back and kidneys — Libra's body shows the strain of always trying to balance.
