Okay, so I started digging into this whole “Libra Rising Tarot Card” thing a while back. Heard the term floating around and got curious, you know? Like, is there one specific card for folks like me with Libra on the ascendant?
First off, I did what most people do, poked around online a bit. Seemed like everyone had a slightly different idea. Some folks were dead set on the Justice card. Makes sense, right? Libra, scales, justice, fairness. Felt pretty straightforward.
But then others brought up different cards. Some mentioned The Lovers, talking about the partnership aspect, the choices Libra Rising often faces in relationships. Others pointed towards cards reflecting balance or sometimes the struggle with it, like maybe the Two of Swords for that classic Libra indecision.
My Own Little Experiment
So, reading all that was one thing, but I wanted to see how it felt in practice. I got my deck out – just my regular Rider-Waite-Smith, nothing fancy. I decided to just sit with the idea of my Libra Rising energy. What does it feel like day-to-day?
- That constant seeking of balance in everything.
- Wanting things to be fair and harmonious.
- Sometimes bending over backwards to avoid conflict.
- Getting stuck when faced with a big decision.
With those feelings in mind, I started pulling cards. Not for a specific question, but just asking the deck, “Show me something about this Libra Rising energy in me.”
Justice came up a lot, no surprise there. It felt like a core theme, that internal drive for fairness and seeing things from all sides. But it wasn’t the only card.
I noticed the Queen of Swords popping up sometimes. Maybe that’s the ideal? Clear thinking, setting boundaries fairly but firmly – something my Libra Rising can struggle with when it leans too much into people-pleasing.
And yeah, the Two of Swords showed its face occasionally, especially when I was feeling stuck between options. It was a good reminder of that potential pitfall.
What I Reckon Now
After messing around with this for a bit, keeping notes here and there, I don’t think there’s just one single “Libra Rising Tarot Card”. It’s more like a collection of energies and themes.
Justice feels like the anchor, the main significator. It represents that core Libra Rising drive.
But other cards definitely reflect different facets:
- Cards about choices and relationships (like The Lovers, maybe some Cups cards like the Two or Six).
- Cards about the mental aspect, the weighing of options (Swords, especially the Two, maybe the Queen for aspiration).
- Even cards about seeking harmony (like the Six of Cups or Temperance sometimes).
So, for me, it’s not about finding the card. It’s about recognizing how certain cards resonate with that Libra Rising part of my chart. When Justice comes up, I pay attention to fairness and balance. When the Two of Swords appears, I check if I’m stuck in indecision. It’s become a way to understand how that specific astrological placement shows up in my daily life through the language of Tarot. Just my own way of working with it, keeping it practical.
