Libra Season

“Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create.”

Below is an excerpt from my 'Libra Season Workbook' available HERE.

Virgo followed right after Leo’s flamboyant party concluded, to clean-up the mess and make sure we get busy & productive again, getting our affairs in order and stepping up to face our responsibilities. Are you just about feeling the burnout creeping in from all that post-Mercury Retrograde fatigue paired with changing season (this always activates our nervous systems for no matter how hard we try to reframe ourselves as separate from nature, we ARE nature - and when She changes seasons, so must we change) and a highly triggering chaotic energy of Eclipse Season (read on it HERE)? First of, I'm sorry and hang in there, but also - Good! Because Libra Season is all about reclaiming the balance.

Just as Aries ushers in spring, Cancer welcomes summer, and Capricorn marks the shift from autumn to winter, Libra, too, holds the status of a cardinal sign, opening the gateway to a new season. It's no coincidence that the term 'cardinal' stems from the Latin word for 'hinge'.

Libra Season opens quite fittingly with Autumnal Equinox – a time of equilibrium when the day and night, light and dark are in balance, equal in duration. Libra, symbolically represented by the scales, is also all about constant act of balancing and harmonizing.

Think of Libra as Gemini's slightly more sophisticated sibling – both air signs, both a bit two-faced, but Libra's got a fancy cocktail in hand instead of a fidget spinner. You've got your Libras who are basically walking calculators, obsessed with symmetry and golden ratios like they're planning a heist in a Da Vinci Code novel (just hopefully with better writing, Libras are agents of elevated beauty after all, language and communications included). Then you've got the other side: Libras dripping in (not always just)Venus vibes ( Sending a playful nod to my Libra friends, whose hearts and other body parts are ALWAYS ablaze with desire), all romance and passion, like they just stepped out of a Renaissance painting.

Now, Libra's got this thing about "fairness and justice" that can sometimes make them a bit... intense. It's like the whole world's a courtroom drama, with everyone either guilty or innocent. This black-and-white thinking can cause some serious inner turmoil for Libra. Real balance is found where the math nerds meet the love gods, where spreadsheets and sonnets coexist in perfect harmony.

Fasten your seat belts, because Libra Season is notorious for shaking up our relationships. Add to it the often volatile unpredictability that comes with Eclipse Season and it's like everyone's suddenly got a magnifying glass on their connections, some of which we'll be urged to lovingly set on fire.

To weed through any confusions, radical bust ups and unnecessary explosions, keep those communication lines open and honest. And remember, the best Libras are those who can be both chill and decisive. So find yourself some of those folks and stick close – they'll keep you sane (or at least as sane as possible during this astrological whirlwind).

This autumn, the celestial chefs have whipped up quite a feast. Here are some of the spiciest transits that are on the menu.

Venus in Scorpio

Sep 22 (Fall Equinox) – Oct 17, 2024

Okay, picture this: Venus, the cosmic queen of love and beauty, is all dolled up in Libra, trying to keep things light and breezy. But then Pluto, the brooding lord of the underworld, starts throwing shade from retrograde Scorpio. It's like your glamorous best friend suddenly got dumped by her emotionally unavailable bad boy ex – drama, tears, and a whole lot of unresolved baggage.

Translation? Expect some serious relationship turbulence. Jealousy, power struggles, hidden resentments – it's all coming up for air. And as Venus dips into Scorpio's murky depths, things are only going to get more intense. Think passionate make-ups, soul-baring confessions, and maybe even a few broken hearts along the way.

This cosmic clash is also a chance for major transformation. It's time to ditch those surface-level connections and dive deep into the messy, beautiful world of real intimacy.

First, honesty is key. Talk to your partner, your friends, even your therapist if you need to. Get those feelings out in the open, even if it's scary. Second, set some boundaries. This isn't the time to let people walk all over you. And finally, embrace the passion. This transit is all about intensity, so let yourself feel it all – the good, the bad, and the horny! Venus in Scorpio shows us that true intimacy lies in embracing both our power and our vulnerability.

Remember, even in the midst of chaos, there's always beauty to be found. So, grab your girlfriends, pour a glass of wine (or three), and let the transformative power of love guide you through this wild ride.

Mercury in Libra

Sep 26 – Oct 13, 2024

Prepare for a delightful dance of communication and connection as Mercury, the celestial messenger, waltzes through the charming sign of Libra from September 23rd to October 25th. This transit amplifies Libra's inherent themes of balance, diplomacy, and appreciation for beauty, creating a symphony of social interactions and a heightened awareness of aesthetics.

On the bright side, expect your conversations to flow effortlessly, your social skills to shine, and your ability to find common ground to blossom. It's the perfect time to network, negotiate, and express your creativity, as your words carry a certain charm and persuasiveness.

However, Libra's penchant for balance can also tip the scales towards indecision and people-pleasing. While you're dazzling everyone with your wit and diplomacy, remember to set clear boundaries and make timely decisions. Don't get caught in the trap of overthinking or trying to please everyone at your own expense.

Remember that Mercury's influence is amplified during its time in Libra, so pay close attention to your communication style, your relationships, and your aesthetic sensibilities. It's a potent period for communicating and sharing information, collaborations, new friendships and intellectual crushes! Get it in now, folks, because come end of November, the very last (yay!) Mercury Retrograde (nay!) will put a cork stopper on top of the free flow of information & communication and shake the bottle until it explodes.

By embracing the diplomatic and balanced energy of this transit, you can navigate any challenges with grace and create connections that are both beautiful and meaningful.

For many of us this is a time of personal re-calibration often followed by a whole lovely plethora of physical and emotional swings, especially in regards to the whole eclipse capers, hijinks and tomfoolery! Libra’s energy could offer a great deal of solace in such times, so try and remember to gently let go of Virgo’s push for order and efficiency and lean instead into taking pleasure in simplicity, art, creativity, beauty (yes, downtime with woollen socks, face masks & good books is fully supported this season).

We’re invited to analyse, cultivate and harmonize relationships within & outside ourselves. Try being extra observant of your energy fluctuations this month – they’re usually great indicators of where we should focus in terms of ‘adjusting the scale’. Energy of Libra is conductive to examining and releasing situations and people that make it hard for us to be vulnerable & show up as we are (eclipses will make sure we follow up on this great clearing): without our protective shield of scheming, games, masks and self-restraint. If there are relationship and dynamics that conjure up anxiety, frustration or just simply deplete your energy, see if there are ways to let these drift into the background and place your focus instead on those that nourish our soul.

Whether in your magickal practice, or through meditation, affirmations or journaling – make this coming cycle all about finding balance & harmony in our relationships with others. This will be time of connections and re-connections, friendships & romance.
