Nature
The Tula temperament
Tula is a movable air sign ruled by Shukra, and it seeks harmony in people, spaces and decisions. It is diplomatic, pleasant company and usually has a strong sense of what is fair.
Shani is exalted in Tula, which gives the sign a quiet seriousness about justice. The difficulty is the scales themselves: weighing every side can delay a decision.
