We are reminded that nothing exists without its exact opposite. Here’s how to find a balance without sacrificing yourself.
With just a few more days before the autumn equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere, that means Libra season is upon us as well. Libra season, which marks the halfway point of the astrological year, ushers in a time of seeking balance, harmony, and healthy relationships—but that’s not all that’s happening in the stars over the next four weeks.
Here’s what you need to know.
Libra season invites us all to seek balance
Libra is all about justice, balance, and, of course, relationships. This sign, like the scales it represents, is happiest when both sides of a situation are in harmony. After all, it rules the seventh house of partnership.
Libra season begins on September 23, so use the next four weeks to lean into those things, whether you slow down to seek more connection in your closest relationships, get clear on what aspects of your life could use more balance, or engage in social justice activism.
As the astrological year’s halfway point, consider this an excellent opportunity to reflect on everything you’ve learned and experienced over the last six months in order to create a road map for the next six.
The Aries full moon reminds us to stand up for ourselves
On September 29, one week after the start of Libra season, there will be a full moon in Aries—which will also be a super moon, making it appear bigger and brighter and more potent.
And, as an Aries, this moon serves as a reminder that sometimes you have to put on your oxygen mask first. The squeaky wheel gets the premium-grade oil, emphasizing the importance of advocating for ourselves rather than waiting for someone else to do so under these moonbeams.
Venus wraps up its extended visit in Leo
In case you missed it, Venus has been in the sign of Leo for quite some time now—since June 5 to be exact. That was a recipe for summer lovin’, but once this romantic planet moves into practical and devoted Virgo, our relationships, and our relationship to intimacy, may take on a different flavor.
Virgo may be less concerned with appearances and more concerned with intellectual stimulation, but it is still an earth sign, and earth signs seek passion and purpose.
With Venus in Virgo from October 8 to November 8, we’ll all approach love with a keen eye for being of service to those we care about the most, whether through acts of service, emotional support, or simply being present.
Pluto retrograde ends and finishes up its tour of Capricorn
Pluto, as the planet farthest out in our solar system, represents transformation and rebirth in astrology. So when it enters a new sign (which can take anywhere between 11.5 and 30.5 years) or goes retrograde, we all feel a collective shift.
Pluto began to move into Aquarius in the spring after spending 15 years in Capricorn, but it returned to Capricorn on June 10. Pluto will now go direct in Capricorn for the final time on October 10 before making its final push into Aquarius, which could usher in a new collective age of innovation, technological advances, and dramatic change.
However, big changes take time to fully integrate, and Pluto going direct in Capricorn for the last time can be seen as a way for us to assimilate everything we’ve learned about structure, discipline, and hard work over the last 15 years.
A new moon solar eclipse in Libra could have us in decision-paralysis
On October 14, a new moon in Libra will join forces with the sun to amp up Libra energy. The themes to remember during a Libra new moon are balance, justice, beauty, harmony, the element of air, and ideas.
However, this new moon coincides with a solar eclipse, which can cause mental confusion, especially in the heady and indecisive air sign Libra. As a result, don’t make any rash decisions or neglect your self-care under an eclipse sky, but instead connect with the Earth and identify your emotions to help you sort through the mental clutter.
After all, Libra is prone to indecision, so don’t be afraid to take things slowly and avoid any rash behavior.
Bottom line
Libra season is a time of year when we’re integrating everything we’ve learned in the first half of the astrological year and getting ready for the next. And, despite the fact that it is only four weeks long, there is clearly a lot going on in the skies to keep an eye on.
And when we know what to look out for, as well as have our favorite new and full moon rituals on hand, we can tap into the energy of the season and live more in tune with ourselves and the stars.
