Scorpio | 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 12th HOUSE | Earth in the 6th House
Developing compassion
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 compassion. With the Sun illuminating your twelfth house, focus falls on art, inspiration, healing, and the shadowed spaces of self. You are called to create harmony, aesthetic healing, and equitable compassion—reaching beyond the tangible to touch something transcendent. At the same time, the way your Scorpio nature is seen through Libra’s second house highlights your precision, power, and the value you bring to the material and relational world. Others perceive your depth as both beautiful and purposeful.
Meanwhile, Earth in Aries grounds an inner monologue in your sixth house. Beneath the reach toward the unseen, you reflect on productivity, organization, and daily purpose: How do I integrate past experiences into my present work? How do I refine my skill and service while embracing surrender? These reflections give practical grounding to your visionary impulses.
Your yearly seeds enter a “freedom to live and master of two worlds” phase—a time of integrating wisdom from the past eleven months. You are invited to step beyond limitation, allowing accumulated insight to guide you into surrender, openness, and spiritual integration. The theme is to let sage experience bridge the tangible and the transcendent, creating a compassionate stance that honors both.
The Scenes
Enter Venus, ruler of Libra and the season’s guiding muse.
At the start of the story, she dwells in your eleventh house of Virgo. The scene is collective, electric, and progressive, full of refinement in connection, innovation, and community. Here, harmony is polished through engagement with groups, networks, and shared ideals.
On October 13th, Venus moves into your twelfth house of Libra. The scene softens and deepens into one of surrender, healing, and inspiration. Libra’s qualities of design, relationships, and harmonizing infuse your creative and spiritual practice. Now the focus is on integrating insight into your inner life, allowing compassion to radiate from understanding, experience, and elegance.
Integration
The theme of compassion threads through both acts. First, Venus guides refinement and connection within communities, building collective understanding and progress. Then she leads you into the deeper, sacred spaces of surrender and healing, where experience and insight transform into inspiration. Being seen and received through Libra’s material second house supports letting go, allowing wisdom to flow beyond possession into the realm of heart, spirit, and aesthetic grace.
Lyrical Summary
Compassion calls,
and your heart answers with depth.
Seen as powerful and precise,
you create beauty from both shadow and substance.
First, Venus polishes connection and collective spark,
then she opens the sanctuary of inner life,
where healing, surrender, and inspiration flow.
Wisdom bridges worlds,
and compassion becomes the path forward.
Aries Full Moon, October 6th
Tend to the depth and care you need around work, well-being, and purpose. What nourishes your bold processes, your pioneering way of working, and your independence in day-to-day affairs?
Libra New Moon, October 21st
Set new goals for compassion in relationships, aesthetic art, and sensitive elegance over the next year. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments around harmonious surrender.
Your Archetypal Journey
Mars in the 8th House | Surrendering to self-Integration
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, Mars, is the Lunar Hero, the Assassin, the Reviver, and the Puppet Master.
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.
Mars: The Lunar Hero | Stage: Meeting with the Goddess → Atonement | Sign: Scorpio | House: 1st | Cancer-Themed Quest
The seed of this Mars journey was planted in your 9th house of Cancer, in January—a yearning to explore, to quest beyond familiar horizons, to uncover meaning that lives deeper than logic. The call beckoned outward, but the truth was always internal: the frontier begins within your own depths.
Now, in Libra Season, Mars enters your 1st house of Scorpio, and you step fully into the Meeting with the Goddess—but for you, the Goddess is not someone across a boundary. She resides in your own flesh, breath, and aura. Every surge of desire, every pulse of power, every temptation to control or conceal is a reflection of her presence within you.
Temptation here is intimate and unavoidable: the pull to reclaim your shadow, to lean into your magnetism, to risk revealing the raw, unfiltered truth of yourself. The challenge isn’t in resisting her—it's in surrendering to the transformation she embodies, allowing yourself to be both hero and sacred threshold at once. Your depth, your intensity, and even your fear become the portal through which initiation flows.
On October 13th, Mars enters the stage of Atonement. The lunar hero confronts integration: the temptations of control, secrecy, and self-protection soften into embodied wisdom. You reconcile the shadow with the self, allowing your power and presence to emerge fully aligned. The atonement is not about taming your intensity, but holding it transparently, with integrity and grace, becoming both the fire and the light.
This Libra Season, the hero’s journey is a dance with your own depths. The Goddess is not an external prize—she is the awakening of your own embodied sovereignty. The temptations you meet, the power you claim, and the depths you surrender to are the very threshold you were meant to cross.
