Libra | 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

Developing Centering
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 centering. With the Sun illuminating your first house, focus falls on self, motivation, and embodied action. You are called to step into presence, to assert with clarity, and to move with passion and purpose. At the same time, the way your Libra nature is seen through Libra’s first house amplifies your elegance and empathy. Others perceive you as motivating, assertive, and capable of guiding through both charm and clarity.
Meanwhile, Earth in Aries grounds an inner monologue in your seventh house. Beneath the surface of self-assertion, you reflect on relationships, fairness, and harmony: How do I balance desire with responsibility? How do I honor both myself and others? These contemplations sharpen your ability to act decisively while remaining relationally attuned.
Your yearly seeds are entering a “call to action” phase, standing solidly on last year’s summit while forming new goals. This vantage allows you to see past, present, and future with a clarifying lens, giving you the insight needed to direct energy and assert with precision. The theme is to center yourself, establishing a tuning-fork effect that resonates throughout the season.
The Scenes
Enter Venus, ruler of Libra and the season’s guiding muse.
At the start of the story, she occupies your twelfth house of Virgo. The scene is sensitive, ethereal, and healing. Refinement comes through reflection, meditation, and quiet attention. Here, you polish inner qualities and restore balance before stepping into outward action.
On October 13th, Venus steps into your first house of Libra. The scene brightens and sharpens into one of movement, action, and order. Now, passion and drive are harmonized with design, relationships, and elegance. You lead by example, setting the tone for both your personal direction and the relational energy around you.
Integration
The theme of centering threads through both acts. First, Venus nurtures inner alignment and restoration, providing clarity and sensitivity. Then she moves you into bold action, harmonized with elegance and relational awareness. Seen and received in your dominant first house, you are empowered to direct the season with vision, presence, and poise.
Lyrical Summary
Center yourself,
and let presence guide your steps.
Seen as elegant and motivating,
you act with clarity and relational awareness.
First, Venus tends your inner world,
healing and refining the unseen roots.
Then she opens the stage of action,
where drive, design, and harmony merge—
and you direct the season with poise and purpose.
Aries Full Moon, October 6th
Tend to the depth and care you need around relationships, fairness, and trust. What nourishes your bold resonance, your pioneering way of relating, and your independence within commitment?
Libra New Moon, October 21st
Set new goals for cultivating aesthetic drive, relational passion, and active elegance over the next year. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments around harmonious centering.
Your Archetypal Journey
Venus in The 12th & 1st Houses | confronting Projections
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, Venus, is the Mature Heroine, the Poetic Lover, the Justice-Seeker, and the Aesthete.
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.
Venus: The Heroine | Stage: The Choosen One → Meeting the Beast | Sign: Virgo & Libra | House: 12th & 1st | Aries 7th House-Themed Journey
The seed of this Venus journey was planted in Aries in your 7th house—the house of partnership, reflection, and relational dynamics. From that spark, the heroine’s journey began: a call to engage deeply with others while learning to maintain her own integrity, balance, and desires. This was the quiet planting of awareness, where longing and curiosity stirred alongside the recognition that the “perfect partnership” is always more complex than imagined.
Now, in Libra Season, Venus travels Virgo in your 12th house, entering the Fair Maiden/Chosen One stage. The heroine steps into her own agency with subtlety and care. She is capable, clever, and awakening to her power, even if it is still behind the veil of the ordinary world. In this hidden, introspective space, she cultivates her gifts of discernment, empathy, and emotional intelligence. Confidence emerges not as bravado, but as quiet alignment with her true self. This is a time for inner practice: envisioning her place in the world, preparing for the choices and challenges ahead, and realizing that the ordinary world will demand more than she has yet dared to offer.
On October 13th, Venus moves into Libra in your 1st house, entering the Meeting the Beast stage. Here, the heroine confronts her reflection in the world: shadow aspects, unresolved desires, and the parts of herself projected onto others. The “beast” may appear as a person, a situation, or even a pattern of longing or resistance—but it is ultimately a mirror of what she has yet to integrate. The challenge is to face it consciously, to recognize both the allure and the danger of unclaimed power, and to emerge with self-respect, clarity, and sovereignty.
This stage is about embodied presence. The heroine learns that her power and attractiveness are not only in how she is perceived by others, but in how fully she occupies her own being. She navigates attraction, challenge, and relational dynamics with discernment, courage, and grace.
In Libra Season, your Venus journey invites you to step from capable and clever into fully embodied and self-aware, balancing the heart, mind, and presence. The Fair Maiden becomes the hero in her own story, meeting the shadow without losing her center, and beginning to reclaim autonomy, clarity, and self-worth.
