On September 23rd the Sun enters Libra on the same day as the Autumn Equinox. In the northern hemisphere, the Equinox brings the harvest season to a close, as we now begin our transitional descent into the dark part of the year. With Virgo Season in the rear-view, we move away from the intense focus and heavy workload of Mercurial-Earth and into Libra’s sparkly, Venusian- Air. As the cool winds of seasonal change begin to roll through, we take on a lighthearted and socially minded approach to life, as we strive to balance out last season’s seriousness with a healthy dose of pleasure-seeking experiences.
As we shift from earth to air, so do our priorities and perspectives. Where the Mutable energy of Virgo encourages our ability to be flexible and open to change, the Cardinal energy of Libra pushes through a burst of initiating energy that helps to put those changes into motion with tangible action. Now with that being said, from now until October 12th, we will be working with 3-planets in Libra which can be challenging in terms of decision making. If you find yourself agonizing over your choices, take a step back, clear your head and come back to it once you’ve regained mental balance.
Creative energy flows freely under the influence of Venus, inspiring us to focus our attention towards the more beautiful aspects of life. Many of us may feel the call to switch up beauty routines, update our wardrobe and spend more time socializing, especially at events like art and music shows that arouse the senses and influence new muses and artistic expression. As you answer the call towards fresh experiences, you may find yourself gravitating towards a mix of people, places and things that feel light and slightly non-committal. For the next month, it’s about looking good and feeling good, even if that just means putting on a really good outfit to run errands in.
As the Sun moves through the 7th house of love and partnerships, our desire for
connection with others becomes apparent. Themes surrounding our personal relationships, how we relate to others and the value of our commitments hold extra relevance. This can be an important time of regaining harmony within our relationships as the peace-seeking influence of Venus works her magic. If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, this can be the perfect time. That being said, this is also the house of contracts, lawsuits and open enemies, so for some, this can be a time of litigation through the court system or negotiating salary at your job.
Libra is symbolized by the scales of justice she carries, indicating that one of our main objective’s this Season will surround a constant strive towards achieving balance through peaceful measures. In her highest vibration, she embodies harmony through her exceptional, interpersonal skills, instilling her values of fairness and equality into her everyday conduct. However, the flip side of this energy can manifest as dodging confrontation, using passive-aggressive tactics or excessive people-pleasing that can be to the detriment of our own well-being or progression forward.
As we move through this next month that is energetically heightened by the incoming Eclipse’s, we find ourselves in situations that require diplomacy and objectivity, as we seek out win-win solutions with others. Just as the scales of Justice would suggest, this is a Season that brings destined events and karmic adjustments to situations that have tipped the scales.
