One day after the Autumn Equinox, when Day and Night stand in perfect balance, the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Libra: a time where we’ve learned the lessons Virgo season taught us, and we are negotiating a more harmonious life for ourselves and our relationships.
The power of Libra
The airy sign of Libra, The Scales, ushers in the second half of the astrological year. As the opposite of Aries, Libra reminds us to consider the Others in our lives as much as we consider ourselves. Ruled by Venus and dwelling over the 7th House of partnerships, Libra thrives when developing relationships—intellectual and professional as well as romantic.
During Libra season, it’s a great time to make decisions about the commitments we are truly willing to make, sign contracts, pursue legal matters, plan business openings and weddings.
Make the most out of this Libra season
Below are all the key dates you should pay attention to, from September 24 – October 23
September 29: Full Moon in Aries
Standing up for yourself is not selfish. Find your red lines, the ones you are not willing to cross, and stick to them. Your partnerships will actually benefit from it.
October 8: Venus enters Virgo
You’ll need to develop a new love language: one that focuses on acts of service, and the unconditional offering of your time and attention to those who matter to you.
October 14: New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Libra
A fateful, explosive energy that will bring energies (and people) that haven’t been in your life since 2004! You’re leveling up, getting closer to your soul’s purpose. Your creative ideas will be supported during this time.
October 18: Sun opposes the North Node in Aries
The Lunar Nodes are all about destiny and today you may feel like some of the things you’ve said “yes” to weren’t meant to be. Don’t worry: what is meant for you, won’t miss you!
October 20: Sun conjuncts Mercury in Libra, Mercury squares Pluto in Capricorn
Finding common ground between what you need and what your (business or romantic) partner needs will be essential today. Don’t let your ego run the show; be willing to compromise.
October 22: Mercury enters Scorpio
Get ready to share the darkest parts of your psyche with those close to you, and listen to their own confessions in return. Intriguing secrets may come to light during this time!
