But because of the age difference, has been moved to Virgo. Every year around September 24, the Sun to the Palace, when the time to cross the Autumn Equinox. Then come to see that.

The origin of Libra: (pay attention to the last Zeus threw the east ah)

In ancient times, human beings and the gods are the same living on the ground, living in peace and happiness together, but human beings more and more intelligent, not only learned to build a house, paving the road, but also learned to fight, cheating, and other bad vices, so that many of the gods can not stand, and have to leave the human race, back to the sky to live!

But the gods are not the only ones who can't stand it.

But among the gods, there is a goddess of justice who is not discouraged by human nature and still lives with humans. However, the human race has become more and more aggressive, and wars and killings have begun to occur. In the end, even the Goddess of Justice couldn't take it anymore and decided to move back to the sky. However, this doesn't mean that she has completely despaired of human beings, and she still believes that human beings will come to their senses one day, and return to the good and innocent nature of the past.

Goddess of Justice, back in the sky, meets Poseidon one day, and the two have a heated debate because Poseidon laughs at her trust in the stupidity of human encounters. In the middle of the debate, Goddess of Justice thought that Poseidon had insulted her and had to apologize to him, but Poseidon didn't think so. It was said that the two were at loggerheads and a case was brought to Zeus.

This situation makes it very difficult for Zeus, because the goddess of justice is his own daughter, and the god of the sea is his own brother, favoring which can be a party can not. Just when Zeus was feeling very confused about this, the queen made a timely suggestion, asking Poseidon to compete with the goddess of justice, and whoever lost would apologize to the other side.

The match was set up in the middle of a square in heaven, and Poseidon started first. Poseidon swung his rod at the wall, and immediately very beautiful water flowed out of the cracks. The Goddess of Justice then changed into a tree which had a reddish-brown trunk, pale green leaves and golden olives, and most importantly, anyone who looked at the tree felt love and peace. The match was over, and Hesse conceded defeat.

Zeus, in honor of the result, took the scale he carried with him and threw it up into the sky, becoming the present-day constellation Libra.

Now you know how to pronounce the word "scale". In fact, I myself is a Libra, but also often introduce myself as a Libra, but also often think that people write the wrong word (the "flat" written as "scale"), correcting people to read ping, hey, really embarrassing ~~~~~~ but we should know that the constellation should refer to the physical experiment. But we should know that the constellation refers to the balance used in physics experiments, the picture on the constellation is also a balance, while the scale is our traditional weighing tool, there is a difference between the two.

Libra translates to balance or scales, which is originally a kind of convention

So when we read the constellation, we will see which one reads which one, anyway, in our ears, they all mean the same thing, both can be translated, just take it as a translation of the person who wrote the wrong word.
