Your Libra Season Horoscope
Virgo season may have whipped you into shape—your desk is spotless, your to-do list is color-coded, and you've nitpicked life’s details to death. But now it's time to bid adieu to Virgo’s fussy vibes and welcome Libra Season’s love for balance, beauty, and harmony.
Running from Sept. 22 to Oct. 23, Libra Season is all about justice, partnership, and keeping things chill. As a cardinal air sign, Libra lives for mediating change and connecting with others, all while casually spearheading a few projects. Marking the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere (and spring down under), Libra season doesn’t just suggest change; it demands it—calmly, tactfully, and with a perfect smile.
For the next 30 days, it’s your chance to harmonize your life. Think about fairness, beauty, and justice—how you can bring these into your work, relationships, or creative projects. Where are you out of balance? Who’s pulling their weight (or not)? Where could you add more beauty? Libra loves a balanced outcome where everyone’s happy. But beware: decision-making may feel like you’re spinning in circles. Libra’s people-pleasing vibes could have you arguing both sides without ever landing on a final call. Prepare for loooong conversations that lead nowhere (but hey, they’re great for connection).
Speaking of connection, this first week of Libra season puts an emphasis on just that. With changes from Venus and Mercury, as well as a potent (and potentially cathartic) conjunction between Mercury and the South Node, you can expect to connect with your partner(s) on a deeper level, reconnect with your muse, and release a communication habit that’s in the way of your relationship growth. Sounds serious, but it won’t feel as such. Anyway, here’s this week’s Libra Season’s astrology:
Sept. 25 – Mercury in Virgo trine Uranus Rx in Taurus, 27°
Sept. 25 – Mercury in Virgo opposes Neptune Rx in Pisces, 28°
Sept. 26 – Mercury in Virgo trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn, 29°
Sept. 26 – Mercury enters Libra
Sept. 29 – Mercury conjoins South Node in Libra, 6°
Beyond this first week, the rest of Libra Season is also prime time for socializing, connecting, dating, and, of course, making and appreciating art. Fun fact: More artists, actors, and creatives are born during this time of year. As the only air sign ruled by Venus, this time of year screams for social pleasures: writer’s groups, art classes, or just dining with fabulous company. Whether it's a friend, lover, or work bestie, Libra Season has you pairing up in one way or another, keeping those metaphorical scales balanced.
However, this year’s Libra season comes with a twist. Since Venus, Libra’s ruling planet, dives into the deep waters of Scorpio on the same day the Sun enters Libra, things get a bit darker. While Libra normally loves keeping things light and breezy, Venus in Scorpio is all about intensity, passion, and digging into the emotional trenches. Translation? This season’s vibes are pushing you to initiate deeper, more powerful connections, kick bad relationship habits to the curb, and pour your soul into your projects.

What to expect for the next 30 days
Solar Eclipse in Libra 🌞🌚
On October 14, there will be a Solar Eclipse in Libra. Eclipses can shake us up, but bring endings and beginnings that are much needed. We could be considering our connections with others and the balance in our lives during this time.
Eclipses can open a door that was shut, bring news of huge life events, or could lead to a major turning point in your life. Eclipses will try to get us to pay attention to the areas of life that need change.
News can be delivered in a dramatic or strange way. Learn, investigate, and don’t ignore it. Take any messages, whether they are big or small, that you get from an Eclipse as non-negotiable and firm. The Eclipse wants you to have a new experience, so be open to change.
A Solar Eclipse occurs around two weeks before a Lunar Eclipse. News or events related to the Eclipse may not happen on the day of the eclipse itself, but within the week leading up to it. Think back to what happened within the month. We could find out that our Eclipse news came early.
If we suffer under an Eclipse, we should be patient and open-minded. If we don’t like where we end up, we can make changes, but they cannot be backtracking. Eclipses are there to illuminate something in our life. It is there to protect and help us. Always be grateful for the truth, even when it’s hard.
Read more about Eclipses in general here.
The New Moon brings fresh energy into our lives, and this time, since it is in Libra, it brings fresh energy to our relationships. It’s a great time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of Libra, such as establishing more harmony in our environments, establishing a sense of order and balance in our lives, and recognizing the value of partnership.
But as a Solar Eclipse, this New Moon packs a lot more punch. Eclipses arrive in pairs, and when they shift, we get fresh lessons, experiences and surprises. This Eclipse is the second set that is occurring along the Aries-Libra axis, from April 20, 2023 - March 29, 2025. The first was a Solar Eclipse in Aries, focusing on building our independence and working on assertiveness since April.
On October 14, the Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Libra will bring a six-month cycle of growth surrounding our relationship dynamics and finding balance in our life. This will be a chance to make changes that bring peace and beauty as the end result.
This Eclipse will allow us to let go of connections that are no longer serving us. We will also be letting go of anything that is limiting our relationship dynamics. We can let go of outdated expectations about art, fashion, justice and love. We can discard any interpersonal habits that are no longer serving us, particularly things like being overly accommodating of others and having an excessive reliance on others.
From always going with our friend’s idea of where to eat to smiling through conversations that crush our spirit, we will be asked to identify where we’re too tied up with other people’s agendas and cut those ropes. Letting go of our preconceived notions about relating to others will allow our systems to evolve more smoothly. This Eclipse reminds us that our interactions with others function better when we own our wants, needs and preferences. When we conceal our truths, we lose the chance for real intimacy. This will allow us more room for us to build bonds that align with our true desires, passion and strengths.
We may feel compelled to change our routine, which could lead to new solutions and new or innovative ideas, or on personal experience and observation.
Both our Solar Eclipse in Libra and Lunar Eclipse in Taurus are Venus Ruled. We have just had a Venus Retrograde where we learned some of our lessons about relationships and life’s pleasure. Venus is all about value, money, and how we love. We will notice where playing nice has contributed to power imbalances and notice issues surrounding women’s rights, gender and LGBTQ community, which could inspire us to summon bravery and firepower on behalf of meaningful causes.
With this chaotic energy mixing in with our more gentle and compassionate areas, it could feel confusing. Look out for unneeded arguments, self-sabotage, and financial problems. Balancing these areas, staying grounded and firm in boundaries, and keeping communication open will help us to make it through.
Throughout the weeks following, we will have some other things to look out for that might integrate into our Eclipse lessons. The following weekend Mercury will move into Scorpio, where reassurance will be important, so we should keep lines of communication open when it comes to our closest relationships.
Right before the Lunar Eclipse, the Sun is moving into Scorpio. This mysterious energy can bring up secrets. Don’t go looking for more than necessary. What is important will come to the surface. Focus this powerful energy on yourself.
A Lunar Eclipse paired with the Full Moon in Taurus hits on October 28, beginning an emotionally intense cycle. Our unmet or ignored needs might come forward, leaving us in a crisis of sudden awareness about these things. We might want to act fast, but need to look at the signs around us before we do to find a steady path, rather than lashing out in anger. We will dive more into this Lunar Eclipse in the coming weeks.
It might be worth looking back at what happened the last time there was an Eclipse in Libra. Find themes that surrounded our life back then to get a better understanding of what this Eclipse might mean for us. A Solar Eclipse at the same degree of Libra occurred on October 14, 2004. An Eclipse set along the Aries-Libra axis more recently occurred from 2013-2016.
Whatever rises to the surface, whether it is emotional distress or difficult conversations with someone close to you, don't make snap judgments or decisions. The best way to refresh will be to slow down and tune into what we need moment by moment. We should leave room in our schedules for breathing room against unforeseen events. Refrain from big decisions until after Eclipse season, if possible. Clean, purge and release.
While we’re met with reflection and transformation, it will leave us feeling drained. We will need to reevaluate our life’s balance. Rest and relax as much as possible during this Eclipse weekend. The best thing to do is lay low and allow the universe to work its magic.

YOUR Libra Solar Eclipse Reading
What: South Node Solar Eclipse in Libra
When: Oct. 2, 2024
Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but esp. Cardinal Signs (and Cardinal sign Big 3)
Takeaway: Hurling open the door for a new beginning in justice, equality, and allied relationships, this last eclipse of 2024 also happens to be the last eclipse on the Aries North Node / Libra South Node axis for two decades; so, it’s kind of a big deal.
I don’t usually get political in my astrological forecasts; mostly because I don’t want to ruffle anyone’s feathers. Not only is that a textbook example of my own Libra-in-the-3rd-House placement (Libra loves to be tactful and people-pleasing; the 3rd House rules writing & blogging), but it’s also a bit myopic. Because we can’t look at astrology in a vacuum; we can’t remove the context of external events that occur in our everyday lives—including events within the political / global arena—because those events often exemplify astrological transits in such on-the-nose ways, it’s almost laughable.
That said, I’m not about to get into the politics of the Israel-Hamas war, which coincidentally began around the 2023 Libra solar eclipse on Oct. 14. I will, however, point out the astrological themes that were (and still are) glaringly at play. Libra is the sign of fairness, equity, justice, and diplomacy. It wants balance in all things—whether between nations or in your relationships—and will use its charming tact to get there. But we can’t forget: Libra is also a cardinal sign, which means it’s all about action, even if it’s wrapped in a pretty bow of diplomacy. So while Libra likes peace, it will fight for what’s right if it has to.
And as we near the 2024 Libra solar eclipse, which falls on the south node (a point tied to release and karmic baggage), we’re called to let go of the old, tired Libra traits that no longer serve us. You know the ones: people-pleasing, avoidance of confrontation, idealism so high it borders on delusion… yeah, those need to go. Because this solar eclipse—which is the last Libra south node eclipse for about two decades—is about initiating a new chapter that helps you claim your power, without needing everyone else’s approval first.

Solar Eclipse Meaning in Astrology: New Beginnings on Steroids
New moons are great for fresh starts, but solar eclipses? They’re new moons on steroids. Supercharged. A solar eclipse doesn’t just offer a reset; it’s a jumpstart that pushes you into a brand new chapter, whether you’re ready for it or not. This is why eclipses are often tied to fated events or karmic shifts. They represent times when the “fate” intervenes, course-correcting you onto a path that is more aligned with your purpose. Things can happen quickly during eclipses, and these events often feel destined or beyond your control.
Eclipses often occur near the lunar nodes—the North Node (future destiny, purpose) and the South Node (past karma, baggage). When a solar eclipse happens near one of these nodes, the energy becomes especially potent. If it’s a North Node solar eclipse, it’s pushing you toward your future growth, offering new paths and opportunities that align with your destiny. A South Node solar eclipse, on the other hand, asks you to release old patterns or behaviors that are no longer serving you.
One of the most significant qualities of a solar eclipse is its ability to bring about unexpected change. Life can feel like it’s been flipped upside down during eclipse season. This is because eclipses are known for revealing truths and exposing things that have been hidden or unresolved. Whether it’s a personal epiphany, a career shift, a breakup, or a surprising new opportunity, solar eclipses tend to illuminate what needs to change in your life. If there’s something you’ve been avoiding, ignoring, or not dealing with (especially if it relates to the house and sign the eclipse is in), expect the eclipse to make it impossible to look the other way.
Libra Meaning in Astrology
Libra gets a bad rap for being indecisive and overly concerned with keeping the peace, but that’s a lazy interpretation of this sign. Libra is ruled by Venus, planet of relationships, beauty, and all things “let’s do this together.” While it’s true Libra thrives in partnerships, there’s an initiatory urge here that we often overlook.
Libra’s cardinal energy gives it the power to spark change, especially in areas that involve social justice, diplomacy, and partnerships. As a cardinal sign, Libra is not afraid to take charge when it comes to matters of fairness and equality. It wants to lead the way in creating a more harmonious, just world. This initiatory energy makes Libra an advocate for others, often stepping in to mediate conflicts or fight for the underdog. Libra’s drive isn’t about dominating, though; it’s about creating balance and fairness in every situation.
Libra Solar Eclipse 2024: Release, Reset, Repeat
So, what makes the 2024 Libra solar eclipse such a big deal? Well, it’s happening on the south node of the moon, a point tied to karmic release, old patterns, and past-life baggage. Think of it as spring cleaning. And while we’re in Libra season, it’s the unhealthy, outdated Libra traits—like indecisiveness, imbalance, passive-aggressiveness, codependency, and over-idealizing partnerships—that need to be released. These patterns may have kept you “safe” or comfortable, but they’re also holding you back.

Libra Solar Eclipse: Everything You Need To Know
On Oct. 14, the Sun and Moon light up the sky in an apparent ring of fire with the annular Solar Eclipse in Libra.
Horoscopes, Journal Prompts, Affirmations...and much more!
This Solar Eclipse, it is—as mentioned—an annular eclipse, which means the Moon will be passing between the Earth and the Sun. What’s more, the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. As a result, the Sun's outer edges remain visible, creating a "ring of fire" effect. It’s sure to be a visibly stunning event, but also a personally significant one.
But here’s the thing that’s crucial to keep in mind with this and every other eclipse: eclipses are neither good or bad; they just are. Let’s repeat that: eclipses aren’t bad astrological events, they just are astrological events.
Still, eclipses can—and often do—bring hasty (unwelcomed?) shifts, transformational opportunities, clarity & revelations, sudden endings and beginnings, and major course correction—one, or all of which is intended to “align” you with your destiny. At least, that’s the theory. Right? Whether eclipses really do this is TBD (for me anyway).
Because this Solar Eclipse is taking place on the Aries-Libra Axis, its shifts, transformational opportunities, clarity & revelations, sudden endings and beginnings, and major course correction will likely involve and/or be related to the balance between self and others. For this Solar Eclipse especially, it's about finding harmony between personal desires and the needs of the collective. (Ya hear that, world??)
The themes of the Libra solar eclipse are influenced by the characteristics of the sign Libra and the specific degrees at which the eclipse occurs. Here are some themes associated with this Libra solar eclipse:
Balance and Harmony: Libra is known for its emphasis on balance and harmony. The eclipse may encourage us to focus on creating equilibrium in our lives, whether it's in our relationships, work-life balance, or personal well-being.
Relationships: Libra is the sign of partnerships, and the eclipse could bring relationship dynamics to the forefront. This is a time to evaluate the health of your relationships, make necessary adjustments, or perhaps even start a new chapter in your love life.
Diplomacy and Communication: Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and diplomacy. The eclipse may prompt us to enhance our communication skills, resolve conflicts peacefully, and seek compromise in challenging situations.
Aesthetic and Creative Pursuits: Libra is associated with art and beauty. The eclipse may inspire a focus on artistic endeavors, aesthetics, and creative expressions.
Self vs. Others: The Libra solar eclipse may raise questions about our own needs and desires versus those of others. Finding a healthy balance between self-care and consideration for others is a key theme.
A Desire for Justice: Libra's association with fairness and justice may lead us to take action in support of social causes and equality. (This one is especially obvious and important, given the recent surprise attack and war in Israel.)
Pay attention to any points or placements in your birth chart at 21 degrees in any or all of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), as these will feel the weight of the eclipse more than others. (And if you want to learn how this solar eclipse, and the rest of the Aries-Libra eclipses are impacting YOUR chart, what their themes are for YOU, and how YOU can best work with them, check out my Eclipse Season Chart Reading.)

How does the lunar cycle that begins with the Libra solar eclipse develop? Let's look at each stage of the lunar cycle and analyze the lunar phases to reveal what energies are at play. In this video, I analyze not only the global implications, but also the personal ones in general terms. It will be a lunar month of great turbulence that will see much destruction and death, in preparation for the radical changes that are coming over the next two years.
It is important to be informed about what the stars are doing to clearly understand what is happening in our lives and around us. Astrological news is the real news.
Libra Solar Eclipse New Moon - Oct. 2nd, 2024
TLDR: Massive concentration of Libra energy causes indecision within emotional miscommunications vs. harmonic intuitive expansion of trust, consciousness expansion and structured, balanced resolution. Personal prominent planets tell us which energy will be stronger for each of us. Grand water trine & outer planets harmonize, while the Moon & Mars bring in enough tension to convince us to take action.
~
With a close stellium involving not only the Sun & Moon but Mercury, Black Moon Lilith and the South Node, this is ego power involved in deeply intellectual thoughts & communications through the rebellious shadow feminine, as we resolve and balance personal into collective karma, through lessons and gifts from other lives.
As the Moon and Mercury are particularly close, many will experience issues of emotional mirroring through miscommunications with loved ones. Try to listen carefully before saying something you’ll regret.
Square Mars in Cancer, the above will have us under obvious extra pressure to change tactics and take decisive action, though we have to fight through the Cancerian instinct to keep tensions within. Chiron in Aries is also square Mars, and this will add intense triggering of core wounding.
This is an opportunity to have a proper ending by ending an unhealthy pattern. We need to look at how we can more decisively communicate to bring our needs into our relationships.
Themes of power struggles, diplomacy, justice and balance in areas of one-to-one relationships of all types, and finances come into play.
With Pluto in Capricorn until Nov., and during eclipse season, this works out through transformative, ambitious and grounded practicality or lack thereof, over about the next half year.
Venus (Libras ruling planet) is in Scorpio at this time and so we’re invited to enter the depths of our emotions, to face and transmute our fears into loving strengths. In a grand trine with Mars in Cancer & Saturn in Pisces, this water trio can activate a process of trust within emotional intuition, providing lasting insights and a more stable structure.
Chiron in Aries is sextile Jupiter in Gemini, allowing for new opportunities to reach harmonic expansion of trauma resolution, and gain wisdom to then pass on to others.
Uranus sextile Neptune and trine Pluto, with Neptune sextile Pluto, brings in an energy of fascination with mysticism and philosophy, providing sudden insights though new ways of thinking. We’re able to achieve high levels of consciousness expansion & manifestation with little to no effort. That is, providing that we don’t try to hold on to energy which needs to leave now. For many, this manifests more socially rather than personally. When it shows up personally, this is a good time to get some form of therapy, as we’re highly receptive to the benefits, volunteering to do psychological work which would be difficult at other times. We can transform our inner landscapes through dropping the dead weight we’e been carrying around.
