Today I pulled for the collective Libra sign to ask about the shadow work they are meant to help with and learn from regarding the person on their mind in a romantic connection.
The question asked of the Universe and Guides was: With respect to the person on the mind of the Libra in a romantic connection, together or separate, what shadow work was the Libra there to help this person with – and what shadow work was this person there to help the Libra with? Clarify with tarot and also provide a general message with the Shadows & Light Oracle.
Cards pulled:
The Person on Your Mind
Shadow Work Oracle Card: Isolation
Tarot: Strength, Wheel of Fortune, The Chariot.
You
Shadow Work Oracle Card: Fear
Tarot: The Hanged Man, Knight of Swords (reversed), Eight of Pentacles (reversed).
General Message
Shadows & Light Oracle Card: Fairy of the Highlands: It’s time to be brave.
My interpretation:
Your Person
The Shadow Work Oracle card drawn for this person is “Isolation,” which reads, “In solitude, discover your true self and connect deeper.” Although the card speaks of finding oneself through solitude, it seems your presence had the opposite effect on this person. You brought them out of their isolation and ignited a spark within them. There was something about your connection that made them suddenly eager to embrace life and pursue their goals with renewed vigor.
The tarot cards that clarify your impact on this person are Strength, the Wheel of Fortune, and The Chariot. These are all major arcana cards, which indicates that your influence on them was profound and likely life-changing. The Strength card suggests that you gave this person confidence and boosted their self-esteem. Just being around you made them feel powerful and capable. The Wheel of Fortune represents fate and a significant turning point. Your relationship was a fated encounter that marked a major shift in this person’s life. The Chariot symbolizes victory, determination, and forward movement. Your influence helped this person develop a new mindset, driving them to pursue success with a level of determination they may have never felt before. It’s as if, with you by their side, they were suddenly unstoppable. Did their confidence soar? That’s your doing, dear Libra.
You
The Shadow Work Oracle card drawn for you is “Fear,” which reads, “Face your darkness, it’s the only way to find the guiding light.” While your presence may have uplifted and empowered your person, it seems that their influence on you was far more challenging. Instead of helping you overcome fear, it appears they brought fear into your life.
The tarot cards that clarify this dynamic are The Hanged Man, the Knight of Swords reversed, and the Eight of Pentacles reversed. The Hanged Man often symbolizes detachment, non-action, and the need to let go. In this context, it suggests that this person may have pulled away from you, triggering a deep-seated fear response. The Knight of Swords reversed represents impulsiveness, hasty decisions, and conflict. When driven by fear, it’s easy to fall into the chaotic energy of this card. Finally, the Eight of Pentacles reversed points to neglect, particularly emotional neglect. This person’s actions—or lack thereof—likely left you feeling abandoned, triggering intense fear and perhaps even leading to symptoms of PTSD. It’s heartbreaking, dear Libra. While you breathed life into them, they seem to have drained yours.
Additional Message
The Shadows and Light Oracle card “Fairy of the Highlands: It’s time to be brave” resonates perfectly with your situation, dear Libra. While your shadow work card highlights fear, this oracle card calls on you to muster your courage. It’s time to confront your fears of abandonment and seek the support you need, whether through spiritual guidance, counseling, or self-reflection. Know that these feelings won’t last forever. Soon, you will move past this painful chapter, and a new cycle will begin for you. For now, stand tall, wield your sword of courage, and face the night with fearless determination.
