As such, the autumn zodiac signs are more inwardly focused, often seeking increased balance, wisdom, and reflection. Autumn signs are also known to be highly concerned about the welfare of others and the community around them, making them versatile individuals.
The autumn zodiac signs are Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius. Even if your sun sign is a different zodiac sign, you likely have some of the autumn zodiac signs scattered throughout your chart, or you may have a loved one with dominant autumn signs in their chart. Keep reading to learn more about each of the autumn signs, their strengths and weaknesses, and herbal remedies to support and balance their sign.

Libra individuals are known for their brilliant, creative, and sharp minds. Like “The Scales” symbol that represents Libras, Libra people are great at balance, creating harmony through communication with others, and have a keen eye for weighing both sides of the argument. They are also big fans of trying new things and can become bored quickly.
Libras typically have a healthy and hardy disposition that allows them to tolerate poor lifestyle choices, such as a large amount of junk food, over many years. Unfortunately, this can catch up with them eventually, often in the form of impaired kidney function. Other common Libra health problems include skin problems, issues with the urinary system, and lower back problems.

Lastly, linden and cornflowers provide additional flavor and support the Libran's lively, vibrant, and loving nature.
