Rising Sign

According to Gabriela Herstik, author of Craft: How to Be a Modern Witch, “Libra rising is all about the look, the beauty, and the glamour, and so am I.” Libra is ruled by the planet Venus, and Gabriela worships the love goddess of the same name. In that spirit, she says she prefers wearing romantic colours — “deep reds or blushing pinks or warm mauves” — in her make-up. She also adores products that contain the goddess Venus’s sacred ingredient, the rose, including rose oil, rose perfume and rose facial toner. If you’re a Libra rising, adding a rose product to your regimen is a great first step. Herstik says she also creates rituals out of her beauty routine. “Venus is also all about aesthetic, so I think that my beauty altar in my bathroom is also very Libra rising. Magick is all about intention, and as a Libra rising I feel like I use my beauty routine as a way to connect to what makes me feel like love, like beauty, like the goddess Venus herself.”
