(Image From Myself) ⚖ The Season of Creating All The Balance ⚖ "Balance is not something you find, it's something you create." - Jana Kingsford On our trip around the Sun, we have reached the halfway mark...
The start of Libra Season coincides with the Autumn Equinox, making it a powerful point of transition & liminal energy in the year. We have spent the past year planting our seeds of intention and nurturing their growth, all in the hopes of harvesting our goals and dreams. And now with the long Summer days behind us, we may be feeling a bit overheated, exhausted, and are ready for the cooler, crisper, and pumpkin-spiced days of Autumn. Either way, with the Sun leaving virtuous Virgo and entering charming Libra this change has us taking in a cosmic breath of cool exhilarating fresh air.
Libra is a cardinal sign (the initiator) and with its peace-loving and diplomatic vibe, this season is great for enhancing our romantic relationships, allowing our social connections to develop, initiating new beginnings/setting forth in a new direction, and bringing more balance & equilibrium to our daily lives. It is a time where we may start thinking about where we have landed and what changes we may wish to make. We can’t go back, so we must keep moving forward, heading towards a new and hopefully brighter, chapter of our lives.
All of this energy combined makes the first few days of this season an especially magical time where we can really connect, tune in and balance ourselves with the rhythms of Mother Earth.
Libra is represented by The Scales, which if we look on a deeper level shows just how much we are a part of life as it is a part of us. This season reminds me so much of the Ouroboros (the snake that eats its own tail) with its symbolic concept of "no beginning and no end", and recognizing & being mindful of this allows us to create the ultimate balance between the energy of who we are and the energy of the Universe... balancing our inner & outer worlds.
During Libra Season, it is important for us to evaluate the things & relationships we are keeping in our lives and if they are helping us to create a balance between the giving of and receiving of energy, or if they are just pushing us out of alignment altogether. Deep questions to ponder under this Libra Sun & Autumn as we journey through the weeks ahead:
•Do you like what you are choosing to spend your energy on?
•Do you feel supported by the people around you?
•Do you feel like you are giving and receiving your fair share?
⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙ My Thoughts: This Libra Sun & Equinox brings to mind a tarot card most look over or wouldn't associate with Libra or the Equinox... The 6 of Pentacles.

In a general context, the 6 of Pentacles represent gifts, wealth, kindness, sharing, and prosperity, but on that deeper level, this card embodies more and is the very fabric of the Libra/Autumn energy of giving & receiving... balance!
With Autumn here and with us taking stock of all the abundance & accomplishments we are harvesting from all our hard work & giving thanks, combined with Libra's energy of creating balance & interacting more harmoniously with others... it really makes me stop and acknowledge the universe with an "I see what you did there" moment.
Everything in the universe operates through dynamic exchange and this makes me ponder... Are we truly abundant based on the things we personally obtain or are we abundant based on the things we are able to give? For me, I think it is one and the same. Every relationship is one of give and take because giving and receiving are different aspects that make the flow of energy in the universe, just like the symbolism of the Ouroboros. If we stop the flow of energy, we interfere with nature’s intelligence & rhythm. We must give and receive in order to keep abundance & balance circulating in our lives.
The intention behind giving and receiving is: When the act of giving is from the heart, then the energy behind the giving increases many times over... That whole saying "You gotta give, to get" comes to mind. However, if we give grudgingly, there is no energy behind that giving, then the balance is off and the abundance given will surely not be paid forward.
Giving and Receiving is simple: If you want love, learn to give love; if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention and appreciation; you get the drift. The more you give, the more you will receive! In your willingness to give the abundance that which you seek, you will keep the abundance of the universe circulating in your life.
Abundance can take the form of many things, but what is really circulating is consciousness. Even the thought of giving or the thought of blessing has the power to affect others. Giving and receiving is the flow of life and life unfolds in the same way. Everything that comes to you isn’t something you earn, but a gift freely given by the universe, which means it comes from a deep awareness of what you need.
This Libra/Autumn Season I challenge you to think about the flow of giving and receiving in your life, especially with the things that have been freely given to you without having to ask for them. Also, think about all the things that you do & give that creates balance & merges with the life force that you are and that you bring to the world. Mother Earth & the Universe supports our every need & desire, oftentimes giving to us freely by providing us abundantly with material needs, support, and placing the people we need in our lives oftentimes without us even knowing and/or without a simple "thanks" in return. And that Enchanted Ones, is the purest form of giving & receiving from the heart to be truly grateful for this time of year!!
(Image From Myself) ♎Libra Season Astrology♎: •9/27: Mercury Retrograde in Libra•10/6: Libra New Moon + Pluto Direct - On the same day as this New Moon, Pluto also goes direct after being in retrograde since April. This is a power day in the Pluto cycle. Pluto is the planet of transformation, so we may feel we have reached a powerful point on our journey of transformation.
•10/7: Sun Conjunct Mars - Mars aligns with the Sun. We can feel motivated, productive, and have a surge of energy that inspires us to take action. However, be mindful of pushing too hard and too fast, for burnout can also be a manifestation of this planetary union. Mars energy can also trigger heated emotions like anger and frustration.
•10/9: Sun Conjunct Mercury Rx - This alignment represents a crystal clear moment of clarity where we may start to receive & process the messages of Mercury Retrograde with greater ease.
•10/10: Saturn Direct - Saturn goes direct after being retrograde since May. This will be a power day where we may really feel the weight of its lessons and energy. To get a deeper understanding of what lessons Saturn may have for you, think about what themes were brewing for you around the end of May 2021. You may find that whatever lessons were present at this time may be revisited in some way or resolved once and for all.
•10/17: Mercury Direct - Mercury goes direct, not to go retrograde again until next year. Any messages that Mercury wants you to know will now be uncovered in the coming days. Things will feel clearer and any mental fog will start to lift.•10/20: Aries Full Moon - This will be an intense Full Moon! There is a lot of energy to unpack under this Aries Full Moon, but just know that leading up to this time, things may begin to feel extra heavy or heated. The focus of this Full Moon is likely to be on our relationships, so it could be that a relationship comes to an end or perhaps a relationship dynamic begins to crumble. On a global level, this Full Moon energy appears to be linked to protests, outrage, and growing hostility. It could manifest in people pushing back or resisting something. Some of the alignments under this Full Moon have also been linked to violence, volatility with governments/leadership, and extreme weather patterns.
•10/23: Sun exits Libra for Scorpio - Libra Season comes to an end as the Sun moves into the watery, intuitive, and deeply transformational sign of Scorpio.
