Leo | 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 impulse. Because of this, we may 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 3rd HOUSE | Earth in the 9th HOUSE
Developing Knowledge
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 knowledge. With the Sun illuminating your third house, focus falls on the mind, connection, and the exchange of information. You are called to create clarity, fair communication, and relational understanding, while also expressing your unique heart in thought and expression. At the same time, the way your Leo nature is seen through Libra’s eleventh house highlights your originality, generosity, and ability to connect within communities. Others recognize you as an innovator, a bridge between intellect and inspiration.
Meanwhile, Earth in Aries fuels an inner monologue in your ninth house. Beneath the surface of learning and connection, you ponder philosophy, boundaries, and expansion: How can I push beyond familiar limits? Which paths expand my consciousness? These reflections support exploration, inviting new ways of thinking and acting, and fostering mental flexibility.
Your yearly seeds enter a “supernatural guidance” phase, encountering ephemeral inspiration, unexpected mentors, and creative chaos. These experiences accelerate learning, foster neuroplasticity, and allow new patterns of thought and behavior to emerge. The theme is to integrate new downloads and insights, updating your inner operating system with fresh perspectives.
The Scenes
Enter Venus, ruler of Libra and the season’s guiding muse.
At the start of the story, she occupies your second house of Virgo. The scene is sensitive, material, and grounded, with a focus on value, resources, and refinement. Here, clarity comes from polishing what is already present and appreciating tangible forms of worth.
On October 13th, Venus steps into your third house of Libra. The scene shifts to mind, communication, and social connection. Libra’s harmonizing influence enhances learning, conversation, and relational exchange. Now the focus is on designing elegant ideas, building bridges of understanding, and fostering community through thought and dialogue.
Integration
The theme of knowledge threads through both acts. First, Venus sharpens perception and values, polishing what is concrete. Then she opens the space for connection, learning, and social insight. By integrating inspiration with structure, your mind becomes both a tool and a canvas, allowing you to think, communicate, and relate in innovative, harmonious ways. Recognition and reception support the updating of your internal systems, enabling thought to flow with both precision and heart.
Lyrical Summary
Knowledge calls,
and your heart lights the way.
Seen as unique and open,
you navigate connection, thought, and learning.
First, Venus polishes what is tangible,
grounding insight in value.
Then she opens the stage of mind and social grace,
where new ideas flourish,
perspectives expand,
and thought becomes both bridge and canvas.
Aries Full Moon, October 6th
Tend to the depth and care you need around vision, expansion, and exploration. What nourishes your bold philosophies, your pioneering adventures, and your independent wisdom?
Libra New Moon, October 21st
Set new goals for thinking elegantly, relational intelligence, and social justice over the next year. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments around harmonious thinking.
Your Archetypal Journey
Solar Tone | the Subtle field of Balance
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.
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.
Because the Sun is your ruling planet, your journey is somewhat aligned with the growth of your yearly new moon seeds, with a small difference. Rather than using an Earth Synod that speaks to an embodied journey, like a Hero’s journey, I flip the script and read through the solar side that is more causal and archetypally ingrained, speaking to the shining presence you so artfully cultivate.
Sun: The Commander | Sign: Libra | House: 3rd | Leo-themed 1st House Journey | Stages: Synchronic Design
The Solar Journey of Becoming
The Sun, your ruler, has crossed into your 3rd house of Libra, and the archetypal journey of your becoming moves into Synchronic Design. This is the moment when hidden patterns begin to reveal themselves—threads of meaning weaving through conversations, symbols, and chance encounters. What once felt like scattered notes now hums with harmony.
Here, the Trickster and the Mystic sit side by side: every message, dream, and dialogue becomes part of a larger composition. You are beginning to see how your voice fits within a greater chorus. It’s not only about self-expression anymore—it’s about listening for the design that wants to express itself through you.
In the 3rd house, this takes form in the dailiness of your world: in sibling bonds, casual exchanges, the rhythm of writing, reading, speaking. What you once dismissed as small talk or fleeting insight may now reveal itself as a cipher, a glimpse of the architecture of your becoming.
✨ Mythic Image: Imagine yourself as the scribe at the edge of a temple wall, tracing glyphs you don’t yet fully understand, but which pulse with a pattern older and larger than your own story. You are not only speaking—you are being spoken through.
Libra Season calls you to become a student of design, attuned to the balance and beauty hidden in the fabric of words and connections. Trust the coincidences, lean into the symmetry, and let curiosity draw the lines. This is the moment when your solar path reveals not just a destination, but the geometry guiding you forward.
