Your star sign’s Libra season 2026 tarot horoscope reading

Libra season lands September 23 and has us all reviewing our closest, inner circle and romantic or family ties.

Who is really on our side? Are we on theirs? Who shows up and who ducks out when we need them? Are we the best parent/friend/partner/colleague we could be? Do we feel balanced in our relationships or like we always fall into unhealthy dynamics or attractions?

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, money, pleasure and indulgence. These themes play out and distort many relationship chemistries, and the underlying issues you may be impacted by could be a ‘Venus thing’.

Libra is a skilled diplomat, a negotiator, a charming flirt, and a great analyst. Libran relationships often look effortless and positive, but you don’t see all the adjustments and work the Libra folk are doing behind the scenes and under the surface.

Be like a Libra, and let the tarot cards guide you to the work you need to do on a particular relationship this autumn.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot cards for Aries for Libra season: The Hierophant, The Moon

Meaning: This has strong parent/child dynamics (or boss/employee, leader/novice, guru/follower). And the theme is rebellion. But you don’t want to be a rebel without a cause. You need to prepare for this flipping of the tables or you’ll end up right back where you are now, and probably even more frustrated.

Do your homework, understand why you’re pushing back, line up rational arguments and appreciate the emotional drivers in play too. Think about their perspective and position. Consider the ideal outcome. Jump in and shift this balance. It’s time, you’ve outgrown it.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot cards for Taurus for Libra season: Three of Coins, Temperance

Meaning: Three of Coins always signals admirers (often secret ones) to my mind. Folk that really respect and like you, watch shyly and want to get to know you. For some reason, you have overlooked or ignored this chemistry. Why? It could be very positive.

Temperance asks you to be present, visible, consistent, and let this person feel confident enough around you to make their proposal, pitch, offer, introduction etc. It might not even be romantic or friendship at all, it might be a work or collaboration invite. Whatever it is, it could be good news. So notice the ‘quiet ones’ and give them your time.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot cards for Gemini for Libra season: Queen of Cups, Knight of Coins

Meaning: Put some time, energy, effort and even hard work into the closest female relationship you treasure and wish to protect and nurture. Be vulnerable, honest, kind, and creative. Delight them and reassure them. Tell them what’s really going on with you (that’s all they really want to hear, they don’t have an ‘agenda’).

When you’re fully you and fully present, you’re most folks’ favourite company. It’s when you switch off, half-a** it, cancel last minute, or rush through to get to the next thing on your list, that you start to lose folk. It’s not what you do, but what you omit. So put the effort in to be fully you and fully present — and you will restore whatever was fading.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot cards for Cancer for Libra season: Queen of Wands, The Star

Meaning: Use the friend, lover, or acquaintance in your life that is the most adventurous, fun, and likely to want to go on an amazing escapade or journey of discovery with you! It’s time to get out, be brave, and zoom to another level in this alliance. You have the great idea, they have the connections or know-how to make it a reality.

The Star blesses this alliance with joy, success, and excitement. You can, when you join forces, go further faster than you think is possible. You complement each other and create magic together that wouldn’t be possible alone. Join up. Head out. Have fun.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot cards for Leo for Libra season: Two of Wands, Five of Coins

Meaning: You’re always in demand and you can get yourself overbooked and overcommitted faster than most folk. It’s happening again. The Two of Wands shows something like a love triangle, or three’s a crowd, or a conflict of interests where you’re trying to hedge your bets and keep it friendly with everyone.

Can’t be done. Folk need to feel and see you’re either on their side… or not. The Five of Coins asks what you most value, what you couldn’t bear to lose, and what matters to you deeply and for the long run. Focus on that. Choose it. Show your commitment.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot cards for Virgo for Libra season: King of Coins, Six of Wands

Meaning: The King of Coins relates to a masculine, older, senior, possibly paternal or boss-like figure in your realm, potentially someone you work for/with or take instruction from. I feel they have been a good influence, taught you a lot, and the relationship has warmed and blossomed over time. There’s a lot of trust.

The Six of Wands asks you to relax a little with them, take down the barriers of formality or politeness and be yourself. You have built enough rapport for this bond to move to a more social, friendly, authentic chemistry and I think you will both get a great deal from it.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot cards for Libra for Libra season: Ace of Cups, Two of Coins

Meaning: Love is blossoming, unfurling and igniting in your realm. The Ace of Cups reveals a new relationship or potential pregnancy, even a new pet. There is a great deal of affection and trust and hope bound up in this bond, and you are breathing life into it and feeling fantastic to have it finally come into your world. And so you should. This is real.

The Two of Coins reminds you not to put all your eggs in one basket, though. No one single person can fulfil every need you have, and you must keep up your other relationships at this time, despite the urge to just deep dive with your new love. That won’t be sustainable, and could set a precedent it’s hard to backtrack from or put pressure on things too early. Enjoy your new love… but make sure you focus on other important bonds too. You have many folk who love, appreciate, and need your presence, don’t forget that.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot cards for Scorpio for Libra season: Page of Coins, Death

Meaning: Pages can point to children, younger friends or family, or even students or apprentices (maybe someone who works for you) in your realm. This person is earnest, hardworking, and ambitious. Perhaps they have been an apprentice to your master role? That can be a tricky dynamic to manage long-term because the apprentice always overtakes the master in the end… are you ready for that?

Death shows, whatever the nature of this, that it’s changing. Dramatically. Between now and November, the tables will turn, the bond will break and reform in a new shape and guise. So be ready. Don’t hold on to what was… look ahead to what could be.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot cards for Sagittarius for Libra season: Nine of Cups, Eight of Wands

Meaning: The Nine of Cups represents your favourite person, the person you’re hanging the most hopes on, the person who perhaps is making a life dream of yours come true with you (a partner, housemate, ally, colleague, co-founder, best friend). They matter, and you need to communicate and open up the floor to other opinions, ideas and inputs too.

Things have been intense… but also strangely quiet. A lot of tension and not a lot of communication or progress on the key issues you can feel simmering. Get things back on track by researching your options, finding out new ideas, discussing them fully and openly, and falling back in love with what you’re both doing.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot cards for Capricorn for Libra season: The Hermit, The Hanged Man

Meaning: You have got very stuck and frustrated with a key relationship that you need progress, movement and traction on. Things have stalled. Maybe you’re being ignored? Maybe you’re both not saying what has to be aired? Maybe you feel them pulling away even though they still show up? The Hermit points to a quiet, conscientious, wise person — maybe a Virgo.

The Hanged Man asks you to put yourself in their shoes. Really, truly flip your perspective and angle, and see things from their position. It will unlock a major secret or suppressed insight into the source of the problem. And, once seen, you can discuss. And, once discussed, you can come to a resolution and move forwards again.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot cards for Aquarius for Libra season: Seven of Wands, Seven of Coins

Meaning: This card combination makes me think of a rival turning into an ally. Maybe the enemy of your enemy becoming your friend, at long last. An unholy alliance born of competition but sealed by long-term shared experience and now understanding.

Sometimes these are the best relationships because they happen against the odds, so the chemistry and spark has to be strong. And you already have a wealth of shared history, albeit on opposite sides of the fence.

Let things evolve. Don’t try and push this back into what it was. Things have changed, you’ve both changed, and now the way you interact with and deal with each other has changed too.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot cards for Pisces for Libra season: Page of Swords, Eight of Coins

Meaning: Trust has to be earned, it is rarely an automatic gift in a relationship, although you usually start fairly neutrally and build from there. The Page of Swords brings the theme of trust into a relationship that you feel has blown hot vs cold, on vs off. So it’s hard to really invest in it, even when the going is good, as things always shift.

The Eight of Coins asks you to give this one last push, a breakthrough is on the cards. Something will click in place, unfold, reveal itself, and whatever used to drive a wedge between you will not be present anymore. This can now become what you always hoped it would be.
