Libra (September 22 – October 22)
A month of retrograde planets means you could have a courageous desire to charge forth and blaze new trails… and a simultaneous fog of confusion about the next steps. As the Sun moves through Virgo, it helps you reflect on what to let go. A Sun-Neptune opposition on September 19 heightens the drama of this tension. The urgency you may be feeling indicates that you're on the right track. You don't have to act upon those sudden urges; be patient and trust the timing.
We start the month with the warrior planet Mars in your sign, boosting your confidence and driving your ambition. What a winning combo! You may feel a nudge from the universe to take an action step, but first, be prepared. Next month, events could unfold in rapid succession. The choices you make in September set the stage.
Mercury is retrograde until September 15, making this a time to declutter, detox, and clean. Start with your inner dialogue. Are there self-critical thoughts you could purge? Then, focus on your home, organizing junk drawers and closets. During Virgo season, we strive for perfection, but for now, accept good enough. The New Moon on September 14 invites you to rest and recharge.
On September 22, the Sun enters your sign, and the balance of light and dark at the equinox offers symbolic resonance for the Libra season. If we aim to be all light — upbeat, friendly, and full of good vibes —we may miss the depth of the dark. If we dwell too long in the dark— remembering trauma, grief, and sorrow— we may miss experiences of pleasure and connection. We need both light and dark for wholeness. Your task? Allow self-compassion to lead you to the middle.
