The Libra Myth: A myth is a story that persists long enough to make people wonder if it is actually true. In the case of Libra the myth goes like this…

The ruling planet of Libra is Saturn and the Greek character “Cronus” is equal to Saturn. So the Philosophers came up with an intriguing tale that Cronus was married to a Titan called Rhea and together they overthrew Uranus and ruled from his throne. The union was prosperous and Cronus and Rhea had a bunch of children some of which disappeared at the hand of their father.

Apparently Cronus was so consumed with maintaining his power that he would eat his children to prevent them from taking over his throne. If you are having a custom Libra tattoo made it might be cool to show Chronus eating his children on the tattoo design.

The story goes on to say that when Rhea gave birth to her last child she placed a stone in the cradle instead of her baby and Cronus ate the stone thinking it was the child but the boy was alive and well. His name was Zeus and when he grew up he convinced his remaining brothers and sisters overthrow their father just like he had done to Uranus. So the scales of justice came full circle and saved the family from further pain and suffering. Any part of this tale can be symbolized and worked into your Libra tattoo design.

Libra Constellation: consists of four stars they are, Alpha Librae, Beta Librae, Gamma Librae and Sigma Librae. The shape of the constellation is said to show balance and that is what Libra represents.

Libra Tattoo Placement: Libra tattoos can be worn anywhere on the body but are often designed as armbands, placed on the lower back, upper sholder, or on the ankles.

Another fish that Pisces is identified with is the Dolphin . Since Pisces is a water sign it is natural to combine water elements into your Pisces tattoos along with the fish symbol or a Dolphin.

Ruling Planet: All Zodiac signs have a ruling planet and Neptune is the planet that rules Pisces. Neptune is not a very colorful planet to if you want to incorporate it into your Pisces tattoo designs you should add other elements with it such as water and the fish symbol

Twelfth House: Known as the house of the subconscious the “Twelfth House” is ruled by Pisces and can easily be worked into the design of your Pisces Tattoos. Be sure the tattoo artist that you choose to create your custom Pisces tats is a well known and respected in the tattoo industry.
