The start of Libra season always coincides with the fall equinox, and this year, both occur on September 23. Think of this cosmic energetic shift as a vibe check before we enter eclipse season and say goodbye to summer. As Libra season progresses, the Sun sets earlier, resulting in the veil between the physical and spiritual world gets thinner.
Since Libra is represented by the scales of justice, Libra season is a time to celebrate and honor harmony, peace, and partnerships. Free advice: No matter your zodiac sign, try to stay calm this Libra season. Whenever you need to, take a step away from the drama and relax. The Sun’s alignment with the South Node of Destiny, which perfects on October 18, means you might feel insecure and anxious. Remember to be gentle and kind to yourself.
This year, the Sun’s stint in Libra brings the Full Moon in Aries on September 29 and the solar eclipse in Libra on October 14. These are pivotal cosmic moments in which you’ll be making major decisions about your relationships. With the planetary ruler of Libra, Venus, entering Virgo on October 8, you’ll have to be specific about what you want when it comes to love. Anyone who falls short of your high romantic expectations might be cut loose or put on ice.
Read your horoscope for Libra season 2023:
Aries
Relationships require work to maintain or improve the dynamic. And to do this, you need to be able to discuss what’s on your heart and mind. Open up about your feelings, and let your partner share their thoughts too. Hear them out and work together to find a middle ground.
Taurus
You have the drive to do even more, but there aren’t enough hours in the day to complete the endeavors that you’re already doing. Be careful not to take on too much. Instead, start adding things to your schedule little by little. Take baby steps towards filling your calendar and leave time for rest.
Gemini
You get back what you give. All the more reason why you should treat others how you want to be treated. As Libra season progresses, you’ll see that it’s important to take the time to connect with others and to be a part of a genuine circle of adoring friends. You don’t have time for the fakes.
Cancer
You’re focusing on internal growth in the month ahead, and you aren’t interested in discussing your life with anyone but your closest friends. Give yourself a lot of space to transcend and transform. Don’t let anyone stand in the way of your evolutionary process.
Leo
There are situations from the past that you’re not proud of. As you move forward, you should also look backwards and try to understand how you can improve upon those issues so that you don’t have to deal with them in the present. Learn from your experiences.
Virgo
Your finances have been in flux over the past several months. Now you have the opportunity to help your cash flow by adhering to a budget. Saving your pennies for a rainy day is a great way to secure your future.
Libra
Yes, it’s your birthday season, but it may be hard to center yourself in the weeks ahead—your insecurities are taking over. It’s essential to bring positivity into your life. Try saying positive affirmations on a daily basis as you navigate through this energy. Bring some self-love into your heart.
Scorpio
You don’t have to hide the person you are in order to be adored. Truth be told, you’re fabulous just as you are and you shouldn’t shy away from being yourself. You’re a rock star and no one should make you feel any different. Ignore the haters!
Sagittarius
Friends are more important than ever, and you want to connect with them in a real way. You no longer have patience for superficial conversations; instead, you want to get deep and get close. Doing so means you need to let your walls come down and to be open with those you care about.
Capricorn
Your career is thriving, and many opportunities are coming to you. You don’t have to be diplomatic in turning down projects if they aren’t in alignment with your interests and priorities. Be a boss and set limits and boundaries with people who don’t have your interests at heart.
Aquarius
You’re expanding your mind and broadening your perspective in order to understand things from different angles. You’ll find that this newfound wisdom helps you comprehend situations on a deeper level. You’re finding it easier to get to the bottom of what is brewing below the surface.
Pisces
Ignite your personal magic by leaning into your power. Trust your intuition; it’s stronger than ever right now. You have the ability to see in both the light and the darkness. Believe in yourself and all you do.
