As we transition into Libra season from September 23rd to October 22nd, we step into the enchanting realm of balance, harmony, and love. Following the structured Virgo season and the fiery fervor of Leo, Libra season invites us to embrace these qualities. It’s a time influenced by Venus, encouraging a deep appreciation for art, aesthetics, and beauty. Use this season to indulge in your creativity and artistic efforts.
The Sign of Libra
Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac and is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and aesthetics. Those born under the sign of Libra are known for their charm, diplomacy, and a strong desire for fairness and justice. Libras are symbolized by the Scales, representing their innate need for equilibrium and balance in all aspects of life.
They are natural peacemakers, and this time of year encourages us to seek harmony in our connections with others. It’s an ideal period for resolving conflicts, mending fences, or even embarking on new relationships, as Libra’s diplomatic nature promotes open communication and compromise.

Balance
Libra season coincides with the fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, a time when day and night are of equal length. Symbolically, this aligns with Libra’s emphasis on balance and equality. It’s a moment to appreciate the beauty of transition, as nature prepares for the serene and introspective months of autumn. During this time, we should also examine areas where we may be leaning too heavily in one direction. Are we neglecting our personal needs for the sake of work? Are we giving too much in our relationships without receiving in return? Libra season encourages us to recalibrate and find the middle ground.

In 2017, he even posted a celebratory (but low-key) Instagram video to commemorate Libra season.
