Libra tarot card: Justice
Libra, Tula rashi in Hindi, is the seventh sign, an air sign ruled by Venus. It is the sign of partnership, fairness and grace. Libra wants harmony, listens to both sides and dislikes rudeness and imbalance, but it can take a long time to decide because it sees every side so clearly. Its tarot card is Justice, who holds the scales that are Libra’s own symbol.
23 September to 22 October · Rashi: Tula · Element: Air
Why Justice is the card of Libra
Justice sits between two pillars with a raised sword in her right hand and balanced scales in her left. The scales weigh the facts; the sword cuts through to a decision. Libra loves the scales and often hesitates over the sword. The card reminds a Libra that fairness is not endless weighing: once the facts are in, a clear decision is the fair thing to do. In readings, Justice also stands for agreements, contracts and the results of past choices. The full meaning of Justice
The three decan cards of Libra
Libra’s three decans are the first Swords after the Ace. The Two of Swords (the Moon, roughly 23 September to 2 October) shows a blindfolded woman holding two crossed swords by the sea: a decision put off. The Three of Swords (Saturn, 3 to 12 October) shows a heart pierced by three swords in the rain: heartache, or a painful truth. The Four of Swords (Jupiter, 13 to 22 October) shows a knight’s figure lying at rest in a church: recovery after strain. Weigh, feel, rest: the cycle Libra goes through in any hard choice.

What the cards suggest working on
The Two of Swords, blindfolded and stuck, is the warning card for Libra. Waiting for perfect balance often means the moment passes and someone else decides for you. Give your next big decision a date, list the three things that matter most, and then choose. Keeping the peace is a gift, but it should not always cost you your own wishes. Your needs belong on the scales too.

Which Minor Arcana cards belong to Libra?

Is my tarot sign the same as my Vedic rashi?
Not always. Tarot uses the Western (tropical) zodiac, while Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is now about 24° behind it. So anyone born in roughly the first three weeks of a Western sign’s dates usually has the sign before it as their Vedic Sun sign, and the rashi most Indians go by is the Moon sign, which can be different again.
