Sep 22 (Fall Equinox) – Oct 23, 2023
Your sun sign is just one planet in your star soup. Curious about the rest? Contact me for a natal chart reading.
Libra season demarcates the autumn equinox every year. Happy equinox! Happy birthday Libras!
Also in Libra at the outset of this season is warrior planet Mars (and Mercury eventually too).
Heart-deep in the astrological year, we arrive at Libra, goddess of love and luxury. Libra is ruled by Venus. Her mythological counterparts are Eros and Aphrodite. The archetype of Libra encompasses many things but she’s mostly about interpersonal relationships. It’s time to take a look at our communication and see where we need to be more cooperative or perhaps more direct. It’s time to be honest and assertive.
Libra’s scale symbolizes balance – embodied by the equinox, day and night of equal length, earth steeped in gold, flirting with winter’s brambles – which includes decision-making and intensive listening. Before “weighing in,” Libra gathers as much information as possible. She teaches the art of careful contemplation.
Like brother air sign Gemini, Libra also represents duality. The two sides of Libra could be categorized as geometric/mathematical vs abstract. Some Libras tend to be skeptical, cautious, and more attracted to symmetry and universal patterns like the Golden Ratio. Others embody a much more Venusian expression. These classical Libras are romantic, passionate, and dripping in opulence.
Sometimes Libra’s need for fairness and justice takes a dogmatic turn. This is another manifestation of the scale, with the whole world thrust into black and white. This all-or-nothing attitude causes Libra much strife. True balance for Libra is found somewhere in the middle, where the strict confines of calculation meet the richness of Venus, laying nude on a bear skin by a raging fire.
Libra Season always brings social dysfunction. Relationships of all kinds are up for review and it’s not a gentle process. For best outcomes, keep communication clear and open. Libra’s gifts are found in the heartfelt company of those who are calm yet decisive. Stand close to them.
In meditation, focus on the heart and sacral chakra – connect the two.
Sep 22: Equinox exact at 11:50 pm PDT. Earlier in the day: last moon phase of Virgo Season 2023 with the Quarter Moon in Sagittarius (round 2) 🦄
Sep 29: Super Full Moon in Aries 🔥🔥🔥
Oct 4: Mercury joins the Libra party ⚖

Oct 10: Last day of Pluto Retrograde ✨
Oct 11: Mars transitions from Libra to Scorpio 🦂

Oct 19: Sun conjunct Mercury in Libra. Gold star day, highly productive, synergistic flow. The perfect day to get shit done. All things going well on the relationship front too, excellent communication.
Oct 21: Sun square Pluto in Capricorn + Quarter Moon in Capricorn + Mercury transitions from Libra to Scorpio. Very very intense, action-filled day. Sun square Pluto means that we need to tread extremely lightly and avoid engaging with any aggressive or volatile people. Depression and anger course strongly in Pluto’s domain. Do whatever you need to calm your nervous system and steer clear of all possible triggers. This is not one you want to fuck around with. Get ready for the deep & dark.
