Gemini | 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 5th HOUSE | Earth in the 11th House
Developing Heart
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 heart. With the Sun shining in your fifth house, creativity, play, and love take center stage. You are called to lead with warmth, to let joy and courage shape what you create and share. At the same time, the way your Gemini nature is seen through Libra’s ninth house elevates your presence—you are perceived as wise, visionary, and expansive. Others receive your intellect not just as quick wit, but as a guiding light toward greater understanding and possibility.
Meanwhile, Earth in Aries stirs an inner monologue in your eleventh house. Beneath the playfulness, you are quietly asking: What is authentic? Who are my true allies? How do I serve the larger story of humanity? These questions ground your outward sparkle with a deeper search for belonging and truth.
Your yearly seeds are in a phase of the road of trials—where new activities and shifting preferences test your resourcefulness. This season may bring challenges in relationships, choices that align you with some while pulling you from others. The work is to let sensitivity guide you, trusting the heart to reveal what—and who—truly matters.
Together, these threads weave a theme of heart: where new circumstances invite vulnerability, where wisdom lends you courage, and where play itself becomes a form of brave devotion.
The Scenes
Enter Venus, ruler of Libra and guardian of the season’s stage.
In the opening act, she dwells in your fourth house of Virgo. The scene is tender, inward, and domestic. The mood is one of refinement, of polishing the roots, of tending to the intimate spaces of home and inner life. Here, creativity begins not in performance, but in sanctuary.
On October 13th, Venus shifts into your fifth house of Libra. The scene brightens, expanding into play, artistry, and leadership. Now, joy becomes the canvas—shaped with balance, designed with elegance, shared in relationship. This is the act where you step fully into visibility, your heart alive in both creation and connection.
Integration
The theme of heart pulses through both acts. First, Venus steadies you in the quiet devotion of inner life; then she opens the stage for you to shine through love and leadership. Challenges may arise, but each choice is a chance to align with authenticity, to trust the wisdom you are seen to embody, and to act with courageous sensitivity. What you create this season is not just playful—it is proof of the heart’s power to lead the way.
Lyrical Summary
Heart at play,
you lead with courage and joy.
Seen as wise, your words expand horizons,
while within, you seek true belonging.
Trials shape you, choices refine you—
who stays, who goes, who truly sees you.
First, Venus hushes you homeward,
polishing the quiet roots.
Then she crowns you in play,
where love itself becomes
your bravest act of creation.
Aries Full Moon, October 6th
Tend to the depth and care you need around friendship, open-mindedness, and detachment. What nourishes your bold originality, your pioneering way of collaborating, and your motivating energy in progress?
Libra New Moon, October 21st
Set new goals for creativity in aesthetics, relational leadership, and warm elegance over the next year. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments around harmonious creation.
Your Archetypal Journey
MErcury in The 5th & 6th Houses | Playful Revelations
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, Mercury, is the Trickster, the Coyote, the Cosmic Messenger.
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.
Mercury: The Trickster| Signs: Libra & Scorpio | Houses: 5th & 6th | Leo 3rd House-Themed Journey | Stages: Radiance → Organization → Resonance
Back on July 31st, Mercury—your cosmic mirror and shape-shifter—seeded a new Trickster Journey in the firelit realm of Leo, your 3rd house, where curiosity and self-expression sparked a new rhythm of insight. The trickster whispered: something in your communication, creativity, or perception is ready to be explored in a new way.
Now, in Libra Season, Mercury travels your 5th house, the house of play, self-expression, and creation. Here, Mercury is in the Radiance stage, illuminating the truths hidden in your passions, your humor, and the ways you bring ideas into the world. What formerly lived as an unspoken insight now glows—waiting for your voice to carry it. You may feel a surge of inspiration in writing, speaking, or teaching, or simply in playful interactions that open your mind. The trickster asks: what truths shine brightest when you share them without overthinking, with joy and daring?
On October 6th, Mercury moves into your 6th house of Scorpio, shifting into the Organization stage. Here, the trickster turns attention to structure: which ideas, routines, or mental frameworks need refinement or realignment? Mercury invites you to sort, analyze, and systematize your insights. What was once playful or scattered now calls for precision and purpose. You may find yourself crafting schedules, workflows, or intellectual containers to hold the wisdom you’ve been cultivating.
By October 15th, still in Scorpio, Mercury enters the Resonance stage. Now the trickster asks: what in your inner and outer world harmonizes with this newly organized insight? Patterns emerge, connections crystallize, and previously overlooked relationships reveal their significance. Mercury encourages you to notice subtle alignments, to test what ideas or actions echo most deeply with your values and intentions. This stage is about tuning your perception until clarity and coherence resonate throughout your work, interactions, and daily life.
Through this Libra Season, Mercury’s trickster energy guides you from radiant inspiration, to purposeful organization, to resonant clarity. The journey is a dance between insight and structure, intuition and refinement, revelation and integration. Pay attention to the messages that arrive in unexpected moments—your mind is the messenger, and the world is ready to hear what only you can speak.
