Virgo | 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 2nd HOUSE | Earth in the 8th House
Developing worth
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 reintegration. The Sun lights up your second house, calling you to anchor into value, worth, and the beauty of what you cultivate. Yet the way your Virgo nature is seen through Libra’s twelfth house colors you with an aura of healing and inspiration—you are perceived as a weaver of wholeness, a presence that dissolves barriers. What you give is not just skill, but a medicine of surrender and renewal.
Meanwhile, Earth in Aries in your eighth house adds an inner monologue that burns with personal empowerment and depth. Beneath the surface you feel the intensity of shared energies, the vulnerability of exchange, and the courage it takes to offer your true precision into spaces of intimacy and trust. This inner dialogue sharpens your sense of value, pushing you to claim worth not only in what you create, but in how you dare to be fully seen and shared.
Inside, your yearly arc enters a phase of resistance and release. Old shells crack, urging freedom, making room for values that feel truer and more alive. The invitation is to let liberation itself shape what you hold dear, to allow reintegration to seed new forms of abundance.
The Scenes
Enter Venus, the ruler of Libra and the season’s heroine.
At the beginning of the play, she stands in your first house of self, draped in Virgo’s exacting cloth. The scene is embodied, physical, motivating—about polish, refinement, and presence. You are cast as both actor and artisan, sculpting the way you appear, tending to the form through which you move in the world.
But on October 13th, the set shifts. Venus steps into your second house of Libra, and the stage becomes one of value, beauty, and relationship with the material world. The mood softens into design, balance, and appreciation. Here, the scene is not just about self-refinement, but about how what you create and carry is received, shared, and honored.
Integration
The season’s theme of reintegration is carried through each scene: first by refining yourself, then by reshaping how you hold worth in relationship with others and the world. Healing and inspiration flow in as you surrender to the changes, and in doing so, you discover values ready to bloom anew—empowered by depth, sustained by freedom, and rooted in a beauty that belongs to you.
Lyrical Summary
You are asked to loosen old shells,
to let freedom carve new worth.
Seen as a healer dissolving boundaries,
you weave medicine through surrender and renewal.
Inside, a fire of depth and intimacy whispers—
claim your value not just in craft,
but in the courage to be fully shared.
Venus guides the stage:
first polishing your presence,
then opening the scene of beauty, balance, and belonging.
Reintegration is your harvest—
a beauty both liberated and wholly your own.
Aries Full Moon, October 6th
Tend to the depth and care you need around empowerment, entanglements, and intimacy. What nourishes your bold psyche, your pioneering way of sharing, and your precision in how you share who you are?
Libra New Moon, October 21st
Set new goals for cultivating aesthetic value, relational worth, and material elegance over the next year. Step up to pressures to help new inner seeds activate and honor your past year’s accomplishments around harmonious beauty.
Your Archetypal Journey
Mercury in The 1st & 2nd Houses | Revealing Potent Purpose
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, ongoing agenda. We go on journeys in the skin of our archetypes, like leading characters in books and films. Your ruler, Mercury, is the Craftsman, the Alchemist, the Problem-Solver, and the Sacred Scribe.
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: 2nd & 3rd | Leo 12th House-Themed Journey | Stages: Radiance → Organization → Resonance
“Re-Creation of Essence-Self”
On July 31st, Mercury—your cosmic mirror, your mind’s true voice—lit a fire in the Leo 12th house, the quiet realm of art, unseen patterns, and compassionate heart. Here, the trickster planted the spark of insight: subtle messages, hidden cues, and intuitive flashes waiting to be translated into clarity.
Now, in Libra Season, Mercury travels your 2nd house, the house of values, resources, and self-worth. Mercury is in the Radiance stage, illuminating what you truly value, the talents you’ve quietly honed, and the wisdom that lives in your hands, mind, and heart. The trickster asks: what insights are ready to be expressed in ways that enhance both your inner and outer resources? You may find inspiration in your work, finances, or creative output—small revelations that shine brightly when noticed and named.
On October 6th, Mercury moves into your 3rd house of Scorpio, shifting into the Organization stage. The trickster now turns attention to structure: how can your insights, skills, and communications be ordered for maximum clarity and effect? Mercury asks you to systematize your thoughts, refine your reasoning, and construct frameworks that can carry the wisdom you’ve been cultivating. This is a time for precision, planning, and thoughtful articulation.
By October 15th, still in Scorpio, Mercury enters the Resonance stage. Patterns become clear, connections emerge, and what was once fragmented now sings in alignment. Mercury asks: what ideas, routines, or communications truly echo your values and intentions? This stage is about harmonizing your insights with your environment and relationships, testing what resonates most deeply, and letting your perception guide the integration of mind and action.
Through this Libra Season, Mercury’s trickster energy guides you from radiant insight, to methodical organization, to resonant clarity. Your mind becomes both messenger and alchemist—transforming subtle, mystical cues into actionable wisdom. Pay attention to the threads that link ideas, people, and moments—they are the hidden architecture of your season, revealing a powerful, yet mystical purpose.
