Each zodiac sign has specific tarot cards assigned to them. I don’t mean just one card. Every sign has a specific card for them, their ruling planet, and their element. But what do these cards mean? Let’s find out.
Today, we are talking about Libra. The peaceful sign deserves a little attention from our trusty tarot deck. Last week we listened to a relaxing Libra playlist. But today, we are going to kick off October by seeing what the cards have in store for our loving and diplomatic air sign.
Libra is connected to the Justice card, the Empress card, and the Swords suit. Now let’s dive in a little deeper and find out why.
The Suit of Swords
Every air sign is connected to the Swords suit. Swords represent logic, focus, and communication. But the suit can also represent fearfulness and single-mindedness.
The Swords speak to the perceptive nature of Libras. When a sword card is pulled during a reading it can represent courage or a disruption of an unfair status quo. It can also represent fears that are holding us back. This is the “social justice” suit, and touches on Libra’s discernment.
The Empress
Libra’s ruling planet is Venus and the tarot card for this loving planet is The Empress. This card represents happiness and the overall well-being of loved ones. When this card pops up it can represent an ability to nurture and care for those around you. It prompts Libra to give a little extra love and attention to someone who may be in need.
This card illustrates the innate need that resides in all Libras to care for those who may be unable to care for themselves
Justice
The tarot card for Libra is Justice. This card is perfect for the cardinal air sign because it represents fairness and, well, justice. This card reminds Libra to stand up not only for those who need defending, but to also stand up for themselves.
The Justice card inspires Libra to fight against forces who would exploit or intimidate vulnerable beings. It reminds Libra to hear and study both sides of an argument before taking a side. This card also advises Libra to let go of grudges that are holding them back.
There it is, all laid out for you Libra! A well-balanced tarot spread for the zodiac’s diplomatic do-gooder! Whenever these cards pop up in your reading, know that they may have an extra special message for you.
