How does Libra connect to tarot?
Libra brings balance and fairness to tarot readings. The Justice card embodies Libra's deep commitment to equality and truth, while the Swords suit captures their intellectual approach to relationships, decisions, and ethical questions.
Libra's trump is Justice, and the three decan cards below are the Swords cards assigned to this sign in Book T, printed in The Equinox (1912).
Air signs use Swords because that suit is the air suit in the Minor Arcana.
The link runs through a Hebrew letter, not the sign's ruling planet, so it will not match a chart that pairs planets with trumps. Treat it as a symbolic crosswalk for reflection.
