September/October zodiac symbol (6)

I believe the answer is:

scales

(Other definitions for scales that I've seen before include "Climbs the weight measuring device" , "Weighting machines - Sign of Libra" , "Sets of musical notes - balanced on a fish?" , "Justice should hold them evenly" , "Fish flake or weighing device" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
