Capricorn | Libra Season 2025
The Universal Overlay
Libra Season | September 22 - October 22
An exhale arrives, partially filled with grief and partially with relief. As we return to equal day and night, with night and the dark feminine overcoimng the light yang energy, we move toward a more communal approach to life, cooperative and relational. We notice how we affect others, how they affect us, and how everything is in relation to everything else. An aesthetic quality unfurls here, as does a karmic one. This season, we face what we began in the self-oriented spring. Life is seen with context rather than pure impulse. Because of this, we find ourselves needing to take accountability for the past or ask it of others. Libra calls us to restore balance, fairness, and harmony, but this often requires deconstructing and reckoning with past insensitivity. On the surface, the season can feel destabilizing, yet in truth, it carries a transitional energy. It asks us to accept where we've landed after spring and summer's growth, to negotiate fairness, and listen with heart for what is resonant and trustworthy. As the days begin to shorten, we may experience the Sun's recession as either sadness or elation. Those with a more feminine orientation often welcome the easing of solar pressure, as it invites reflection, dreaming, and inner depth. Those with a more concrete or yang orientation may feel fear heightened, as though the world is closing in on their active desires. Where do you fall? Perhaps you are balanced, and the equinox seasons bring you the best of both worlds—a melding of inner and outer harmony. I find that this equal night and day brings a kind of great compromise, with most people finding their yin or yang dominance gently appeased by the season's balance. Seek agreements with others. Invite balance in your life and harmony in the air. Find common ground, cultivate empathy, and build bridges of trust. Engage in deep conversations, commitments, and gracious exchanges. Most of all, listen to the season. Its whispers are subtle, but they reveal your elegance. Your Seasonal Theatre
Sun in the 10th HOUSE | Earth in the 4th House
Developing Mastery
As the Sun and Earth move through the signs and houses, they trace an axis of reach and depth within you, guiding your growth toward a fuller, more balanced expression. Each season, the yearly new moon seeds of your sign move through their own phases of growth, anchoring the time with added depth and texture. At the same time, the season itself casts its own lens, shaping how others perceive you and layering new dimensions into the unfolding of your story. Together, these threads weave the central theme of your season’s tale.
At the heart of it all, the ruling planet of the season steps forward as the protagonist. The house it inhabits reveals the setting, while the sign colors the quality and tone of the action. In this way, the scene of your story takes shape. Woven together, these elements create the living theatre of your season.
The Theme
This season is a story of mastery. With the Sun illuminating your tenth house, focus falls on equitable authority, relational aspiration, and elegant building. You are called to harmonize ambition with care, shaping success that is both aesthetic and ethical. At the same time, the way your Capricorn nature is seen through Libra’s fourth house highlights your nurturing and grounding influence. Others perceive your authority as caring, supportive, and imbued with integrity.
Meanwhile, Earth in Aries nourishes an inner monologue in your fourth house. Beneath your professional aims, you reflect on depth, soul, and foundational care: How can I cultivate strength while honoring roots? How do I build without losing heart? These reflections anchor your public efforts in meaningful support.
Your yearly seeds enter a “magical flight” phase—a time of listening deeply to change and transition, of loosening control over your wholeness to allow life’s currents to move you. This attunement brings resonance, grace, and the wisdom to share what you have cultivated with integrity in the public sphere. The theme is to integrate listening, sharing, and authority into a harmonious practice of mastery.
The Scenes
Enter Venus, ruler of Libra and the season’s guiding muse.
At the start of the story, she occupies your ninth house of Virgo. The scene is visionary, adventurous, and boundary-pushing, with refinement and polish guiding expansive thought and learning. Here, ambition is tempered by insight, and preparation shapes future possibilities.
On October 13th, Venus moves into your tenth house of Libra. The scene shifts to career, mastery, and public planning. Libra’s harmonizing influence infuses design, relationships, and elegance, enabling you to exercise authority with both sophistication and care. Now the focus is on manifesting your vision while honoring relational and structural integrity.
Integration
The theme of mastery threads through both acts. First, Venus inspires visionary thinking and preparation, sharpening ambition with insight. Then she moves you into public expression, where careful design and relational awareness elevate your authority. Seen and received through Libra’s material fourth house, you are supported and anchored as you reach high, integrating listening, sharing, and responsibility into a graceful, effective practice of leadership.
Lyrical Summary
Mastery calls,
and your vision rises with care.
Seen as nurturing and responsible,
you build with integrity and elegance.
First, Venus expands thought and possibility,
then she grounds achievement in harmony and design.
Listening and sharing become your foundation,
and authority flows with resonance, grace, and purpose.
Aries Full Moon, October 6th
Tend to the depth and care you need around home, nourishment, and softness. What nourishes your bold depths, your pioneering way of setting roots, and your soulful independence?
Libra New Moon, October 21st
Set new goals for cultivating aesthetic reach, relational mastery, and professional elegance over the next year. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments around harmonious building.
Your Archetypal Journey
Saturn in the 3rd house | cracks in your old world
The planet that rules your sign gives you an archetype—a leading character flavor. This planet is a central part of how you show up and your personal agenda. We go on journeys in the skin of our archetypes, like leading characters in books and films. Your ruler, Saturn, is the Father, the Executive, the Initiate, and the Architect.
While the planet ruling the season may step into the spotlight, it only holds center stage for that particular season. In contrast, your ruling planet is always active in your story—sometimes as the main character, other times as a subplot or supporting role. I like to follow its journey, much like a hero’s or heroine’s path, by tracing its synodic cycle in relation to Earth.
Saturn: The Initiate | Stage: Cost of Avoidance
(New Journey Seeded September 21) | Sign: Pisces | House: 3rd | Pisces 3rd House-Themed Journey
Your current Saturn journey was seeded in Capricorn’s 3rd house of Pisces, the house of communication, learning, and immediate environment. Here, the call was subtle yet insistent: to examine the foundations of your mind, your thought patterns, and the ways you engage with information and ideas. The Initiate’s path asked: what structures support your clarity, and where have you postponed responsibility in how you think, speak, and relate?
Now, in Libra Season, Saturn remains in your 3rd house of Pisces, entering the Cost of Avoidance stage. The Initiate asks you: where have you delayed responsibility, evaded clarity, or feared the hard work of reordering your mental and communicative world? What ideas, conversations, or learning opportunities have you put off, thinking the timing wasn’t right—or fearing the challenge? This is a season of gentle accountability: the universe invites you to face what has been deferred, to honor your commitments to truth and integrity, and to engage in disciplined mental work.
Saturn’s presence asks for reflection and courage. The lessons of this stage are not about speed, but about depth, consistency, and honesty. Where avoidance has left gaps, you are now called to fill them with deliberate action: sorting priorities, establishing routines of study or reflection, and taking responsibility for the accuracy, clarity, and integrity of your communication.
Libra Season invites you to see the long view, Capricorn. The cost of avoidance is revealed not to punish, but to illuminate the areas where growth and mastery await, beyond an old world and communities that have become brittle. By engaging fully now, you strengthen your foundations, build resilience, and set the stage for the next stages of structure and legacy in your Initiate’s Journey. Saturn reminds you: discipline, even in small daily acts, is the path to freedom and mastery.
