Which sign of the zodiac comes between Virgo and Scorpio?

The story behind the answer

Libra is correct because it sits between Virgo and Scorpio in the traditional zodiac sequence: Virgo (late Aug–late Sep), Libra (late Sep–late Oct), then Scorpio (late Oct–late Nov).

A helpful memory cue: Libra’s symbol is the Scales—fitting because the Sun enters Libra around the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, when day and night are nearly equal, a natural moment of “balance.” It’s also the only zodiac sign represented by an inanimate object, underscoring themes of harmony and justice. To remember the order, think “Very Level Scales”: Virgo → Libra → Scorpio. Gemini, Taurus, and Capricorn appear in other parts of the year and aren’t adjacent to Virgo and Scorpio.
