Libra tarot reading for today

Libra in the tarot

Libra is the only zodiac sign shown as an object, the scales, and its tarot card holds them. In the Golden Dawn system Libra belongs to Justice, card XI in the 1909 deck: a figure in a red robe sits between two pillars, an upright sword in one hand and balanced scales in the other. The card asks for fairness, honesty and choices you can stand behind. Libra is often associated with that same wish for balance, harmony in relationships and a keen sense of what is fair.

As an Air sign, Libra shares its element with the suit of Swords, which covers thinking, talking things through and making decisions. Its ruler, Venus, corresponds to the Empress, a card of beauty, pleasure and care. A Libra day is often shaped by other people, by a partner, a friend or a team. The daily card can help weigh what each side needs, including your own side, which is the one Libra is sometimes tempted to leave off the scale.

How to read your daily card as Libra

Libra can spend a long time weighing a card, so set a limit: one reading, one choice, then move on. Ask what the card says about balance between you and someone else today. If the card leans heavily one way, consider whether that is where the day needs extra weight.

This card is drawn for every Libra at once and changes at midnight. For a card that is yours alone, use the personal card of the day; for the astrology behind these pairings, read tarot and astrology.

Is Libra really your Sun sign? Check it against the Sun's position, or find your Moon and rising signs.
