Libra season is here! The sun enters Libra on September 23rd and on this day, we experienced an equal day and night. This balance is brief but very telling of the month ahead. Libra’s represent peace, harmony and beauty. With this comes sensitivity as Libra’s are very attuned to feeling when the scales shift.
Libra season will bear all of these sentiments along with a reality check as the planets moving through Libra and Saturn (planet of boundaries and discipline) and Pluto (planet of power and long lasting changes) in Capricorn we are ask to observe if the metaphorical scales in our lives are balanced. Take this time to cut out what is unnecessary from your life and pay attention to your priorities. Socialize and indulge in the pleasures of life all while taking time to re-center as the year begins to comes to a close.
Pluto also stations direct after a long period of retrograde bringing us back into reality. A Pluto transit can be very profound as it calls for a deep trust in oneself. It requires letting go of what needs to pass and allowing new to come forward. Hand in hand with the sun in Libra, this can be a transformational time.
