Libra covers 30 degrees and holds two and a quarter nakshatras: Chitra (pada 3 and pada 4), Swati, Vishakha (pada 1 and pada 2 and pada 3). Each nakshatra has four padas.
Traditionally, a Libra ascendant is described as relational, balanced and aesthetically aware. The ascendant is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, so it depends on the time and place of birth.
With the Moon in Libra at birth, a person seeks harmony, fairness and companionship. In Indian astrology names and rashifal are usually read from the Moon sign.
