"Confidence isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A queen sits on her throne, holding a sunflower with a black cat at her side. Wands represent passion and the queen card represents nurturing/matriarchy. Typically the face cards represent a person/event (or a part of yourself embodied). Together this card means a confident maternal figure who is helping you achieve your dreams/goals. She has achieved part of what you want to achieve and she can offer wisdom (and emotional support) to you.
You are protected by a force of passion and creativity. You are able to learn and grow under her wing and are coming to embody a true leader in your pursuits. If you are growing a business now is the time to train others and expand. If you are in a relationship perhaps consider working on a creative project together or building a house together. Your intuition is especially strong and you can sense what others need to be successful.
You are blocked by your lack of confidence, you have all the training and skills and passions to be a leader and to run your domain, but you are relying on the advice of others or not taking yourself as seriously as you should. See your anxieties as they come up and set them aside for you to address on a specific schedule.

Queen of Wands for Libra in Work and Career
The Harmonizer
Wands are the fire suit, so the Queen of Wands sits in Aries. Aries sits directly opposite Libra, so this card describes the half of the situation Libra habitually hands to someone else. What it wants is this: spend the energy on one thing today. Handing that to another person is exactly the habit. Upright, this is the element held internally, by someone with nothing left to prove about it.
When reading about work through a Libra lens, the Queen of Wands says that you feel like work is a place to prove you can hold everyone's needs at once, a problem to solve without anyone feeling sidelined, and something that must look effortless even when it exhausts you. This has either led to you becoming the person everyone relies on and never quite gets to rely on in return, or to you quietly building something on your own terms while everyone else thought you were still deciding. You have not asked yourself what you actually want from this work, only what you think you should want from it. The Libra blind spot in it is being the one who breaks the tie, names the problem, or asks for something first.
In practice that can look like a new role or project. Whatever form it takes, it is held by someone who has been through it already.
