She became the inspiration for modern depictions of Lady Justice. The ruling planet of Libra is Venus along with Taurus.
Libra is the only zodiac sign that is represented by an object; with the other eleven signs represented by either an animal or mythological character. Libra is the cardinal modality of the three air signs, the others being Gemini and Aquarius.
