Tula rashi (Libra)
तुला राशि
Tula (Libra) is the seventh rashi, drawn as a pair of scales. Rashi is the sign the Moon was in at the moment of birth, so a Tula Moon describes how your mind weighs, chooses and relates to others. The sections below keep to classical Moon-sign meanings, in plain words.

How Tula people think and feel
A Tula Moon keeps weighing. It sees both sides of a quarrel, wonders what the neighbours will think and takes its time to answer. Venus rules the sign, which brings a taste for harmony, grace and fair play. Rude behaviour disturbs this mind more than it shows.
Air in a movable sign makes it sociable and quick to begin things with others. A Tula Moon is happiest in company, in conversation or in a pair, and uneasy with long silence. The cost is indecision, since pleasing everyone is not possible and the mind knows it.
Strengths and blind spots
Two cousins stop speaking, or a family property is to be divided. Who is sent to mend things? Usually a Tula Moon. Tact, fairness and charm are its main strengths. It dresses well, speaks softly and makes every guest feel welcome without visible effort.
Delay and people-pleasing are the habits to watch. A Tula Moon may say yes to avoid a fight, then quietly resent it. Big decisions, such as a job change or a house, can drag on while the pros and cons are weighed again. Naming a deadline helps.
Work and money
Scales are an old picture of trade and honest dealing, and Tula fits that picture. Law, design, fashion, diplomacy, counselling, the arts and shops where taste decides the sale all suit it. A Tula Moon often works better with a partner or a team than alone in a back room.
Money flows through partnerships, clients and good relations. Venus brings a liking for comfort, so spending on looks, decor and gifts can run ahead of savings. Charm helps income, yet a Tula Moon may hesitate to ask for dues because it dislikes an awkward conversation.
Love, marriage and family
Tula is the seventh sign, the natural place of marriage and partnership, and being alone feels unnatural to it. It is romantic, courteous and attentive, and often falls for a person's manners and way of speaking. Quarrels hurt it more than most, and it will go far to restore peace.
When the elders want one thing and the couple another, Tula finds the middle path, and often does it so gracefully that nobody notices the effort. Venus rules love, so the sign tends to marry with an eye for harmony at home. It values a partner who shares its sense of taste.
