Famous Libras
Libra is the sign of beauty, balance and other people. Famous Libras tend to be remembered for style, for grace under pressure, and for the partnerships that shaped them.
The Sun is in Libra for anyone born between about 23 September and 22 October (the exact day changes slightly from year to year). Libra is an air sign ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and love, and it shows in famous lives as taste, charm, a sense of fairness and a talent for working with others. Libras are often thought of as gentle, but the scales are also a symbol of judgement, and many famous Libras are fierce competitors.
The charts first: these are the Libras whose birth time is on record and rated AA or A, so the Moon, the Rising sign and the houses can be trusted. Brigitte Bardot and Gwyneth Paltrow also share a Gemini Moon. Below them are more famous Libras by date of birth, which is all you need to know a Sun sign.
