Sour Prompts for Libra Season

Libra represents cosmic balance. When she was invented by the Romans, her constellation contained the Autumn Equinox purposefully — signifying the point in the sky where the sun crosses the equator on its way from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere — and when the days and nights were equal.


Libra's scales are balanced on her Equinox.


Despite the fact that Libra Szn ends in a matter of days, I'm sneaking in this set of prompts, palettes, & moodboards. <3
