Libra season · 23 Sept – 23 Oct
Libra season: finding your balance
The equinox brings equal day and night — and a month for harmony, beauty and relationships. Here's what the sky has in store.
The Sun entered Libra at the autumn equinox on 23 September, when day and night stood in perfect balance. Libra is ruled by Venus, so this season is all about harmony, beauty, fairness and the people we share our lives with.
Key dates
- 28 September — Mars enters Leo. Courage, confidence and a craving to be seen. A brilliant energy for creative projects and saying yes to fun.
- 3 October — Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio. Until 14 November, Venus looks back: old flames, old values, old spending habits. Take your time before making big relationship or money decisions.
- 10 October — New Moon in Libra. A fresh start for partnerships and self-worth. Set intentions around balance: what do you give, and what do you allow yourself to receive?
- 23 October — the Sun moves into Scorpio, and the mood deepens.
A Libra ritual
Place two candles side by side — one for what you give to others, one for what you give yourself. Light both and notice which one you instinctively tend to. This month, practise tending the second one just as lovingly.
