Libra♎︎ Season - Sept. 23rd to Oct. 23rd, 2023 (image and text)

The season of judgment and balance arrives with the Autumn Equinox, as Mercury☿ is stationing direct (out of its exit shadow by Sept. 30th), and soon after Venus♀︎ (♎︎'s ruling planet) went direct. With ♎︎ being the most action-based air sign, it's time for movement after the blockages of those retrogrades, particularly in the areas of relationships, and aesthetics, but including socially and politically. ♎︎ Has an energy of mediation; at it's best, everyone diplomatically gets their say. This is a time to harvest, removing the dissonant chaff and leaving the harmonic wheat.

On Sept. 23rd, we also have a lovely trine△ from Venus in Leo♀︎♌︎ to Chiron retrograde in Aries℞♈︎. Affirm: I’m able to turn past pain into expressions of love for others, strengthening relationships.

Sept. 24th, we have Mars in Libra♂︎♎︎ opposition☍ Chiron retrograde in Aries℞♈︎. Affirm: If confronted by tension, I search for balance between assertiveness and empathy, as my spiritual wounds are triggered.

A △ on Sept. 25th between Mercury in Virgo☿♍︎ and Jupiter retrograde in Taurus ♃℞♉︎ helps us affirm: I enjoy positive communications, seeking extra meaning, with trust in the future.

At the Full Moon in Aries♈︎ on Sept. 29th, with all of the outer planets retrograde, we have the desire to take action and transform something, but we feel uncertain of what the results will be. We want to change something so we can have fun and excitement, but feel stubborn, wanting to use the same methods we had before, which are unlikely to work. Let's take the time to breath and channel in some of this ♎︎ energy to fairly assess the situation from multiple angles. This way we can avoid becoming frustrated by having to restart a project. Venus in Leo♀︎♌︎ □ Uranus retrograde in Taurus⛢℞♉︎ - affirm: I heal my self esteem by ending an unhealthy relationship, or standing up for something else important.

Sept. 30th, Mercury in Virgo☿♍︎ △ Uranus retrograde in Taurus⛢℞♉︎ - affirm: Restlessness or boredom can turn into traveling or learning something new, and enjoyment of sometimes odd views.

Oct. 5th, ♂︎♎︎ ☍ North Node in Aries☊♈︎ - affirm: I override dissonant instinct with harmony, and avoid turning negative emotions inward. I learn to work with energy in a more gentle way.

Oct. 6th-8th, ♂︎♎︎ □ Pluto retrograde in Capricorn♇℞♑︎ - affirm: I avoid power struggles to follow my ambitions into creative transformation.

Oct. 9th, ♀︎♍︎ conjunct☌ Black Moon Lilith in Virgo♍︎ - affirm: I feel driven to express financial individuality and raw passion through sexuality or in other relationships, & I insist on emotional connections only on my own terms.

Oct. 10th / 11th, Sun☉♎︎ ☍ Chiron ℞♈︎ - affirm: Though struggling, I harness this opportunity to find perspective and balance, knowing I have to overcome insecurities related to not being appreciated.

Oct. 12th, Saturn retrograde in Pisces♄℞♓︎ ☍ Lilith in Virgo♍︎: If angry and wanting to go against societal pressures and traditions, so that I don’t feel burdened by responsibilities, I resist the urge to direct this anger at others, making compromises as needed, and avoid burning bridges.

Mars♂︎ enters one of it's own signs, Scorpio♏︎, on Oct. 12th until Nov. 24th, bringing in driven themes of sexuality, transformation, and deep emotional connections. We can persevere, yet be single minded, so let's again utilize ♎︎ energy to make sure we are not ignoring anything important in favour of too much passion for one project or person. ☿ Also being in ♎︎ can help here.

The years second eclipse season begins on Oct. 14th with the Solar Eclipse New Moon in ♎︎, causing major unexpected shifts, especially in ♎︎ and ♀︎ areas of partnerships, money and beauty. Eclipse energy generally lasts for up to half a year.

Oct. 19th, ☉♎︎ ☌ ☊♈︎ - affirm: recognizing this auspicious time, I reflect on how I can align my actions with my life path to make the most of it.
