The stars of Libra, “The Scales”, originally belonged to the constellation Scorpius and depicted its claws. Later, during the time of the ancient Romans, these stars became their own star group and came to represent the scales held by Themis, the Greek goddess of justice. Libra is a member of the zodiac.
