The signs and planets of astrology all share and correspond to various mythological symbols and characters found in the Tarot. By comparing the signs of astrology with their counterparts in the Tarot, you can glean a more vivid and colorful understanding of the personalities and characteristics of each sign. Read the description below and get the complete story of your sign, as illustrated through the mythology of the Celtic Tarot. The sign of Libra corresponds to the Justice card of the tarot, represented in Celtic lore by Queen Dana, matriarchal leader of the conquerors and settlers of Bronze Age Ireland. On the Justice card Queen Dana holds aloft a sword as well as the Libran scales.
Justice is powerless to bring about fairness without the force of retribution.
Thus through Justice, Queen Dana gave birth to ancient Celtic civilization. Just as the sign of Libra is concerned with partnerships in business and families, the Justice card is concerned with adjusting those partnerships. Such adjustment requires the restoration of imbalances of the soul or of relationships. The sword in Justice's hand provides an implement for obtaining clarity, for shaving away obstructive elements that stand in the way of truth. Justice is not about slicing everything down the middle, rather it calls for an impartial evaluation of the circumstances and the provision of fair compensation to restore balance where inequality exists.
