In Greek mythology , Libra is a symbol of justice . Associated with Themis , the goddess of justice , Libra is often depicted as a blindfolded woman holding the scales of justice . Libra marks the point of the autumnal equinox when the lengths of days and nights are equal .
Libra is similarly represented in other ancient cultures . In Babylonian myths , Libra is called Zibanu , meaning " the balance of heaven ." It is a weighing place for the autumn equinox because the scales belong to Utu ,
