Falling For Libra Season
My autumn aesthetic! Jackets, boots, and Pendleton.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to have you here with me on this beautiful first day of fall, coming to you from Minnesota, the Sun has just transitioned into a new sign. We have officially entered the seventh sign of the zodiac—Libra season. Happy solar return to all the Libras out there!
🎶“Do you remember? The 21st night of September….”—oh, that was yesterday—but I love that song (Earth, Wind & Fire); it gives me all the fall vibes. There’s such a vibrancy to Libra season, especially at the beginning, particularly if you’re in a four-season climate or planning a trip to one this fall, like here in the upper Midwest. This truly is one of my favorite times of the year! The beauty of the changing leaves is captivating, and we’ll delve into aesthetics in the article because this season is all about beauty, grace, elegance, and charm—Mother Nature is about to put on a spectacular show.
Perhaps it’s an attempt to distract us from what’s coming next—winter—but there’s an undeniable energy of celebration around us. Festivals and community events are getting into full swing. I’m not sure if you experience this where you live, but here in the Midwest, you can truly feel the buzz in the air. Coffee shops are bustling, serving up PSL’s, (if that’s your thing!) and there’s excitement around tailgating and gathering with friends for football, along with apple picking, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, so many things!
This marks a genuine shift in aesthetics, and Libra is renowned for her impeccable style—she embodies beauty and artistry. People are decorating their porches with bales of hay, chrysanthemums, cornstalks, and gourds. Fall fashion is beginning to emerge—think flannels and boots—and there’s a warm, inviting atmosphere, complemented by the crispness of morning air. Personally, I’m thrilled for the return of red wine season—though, to be honest, it never truly fades away. The thought of savoring a rich, deep red by the fire is simply enchanting right now. See? Libra, your influence has me buzzing with excitement!
Our equinox celebration wine last night
Or more accurately, “🎶Do you remember, the 21st night of September…” wine 😜
Libra: September 22nd -October 22nd
Coinciding with the fall equinox, a time of equal day and night, this balance reflects Libra's core essence - harmony, equilibrium, and justice. There is a profound symbolism and significance to why Libra season begins with the fall equinox. During the equinox, day and night are of equal length. It is a literal representation of balance.
Libra season invites us to notice where we may have become out of balance in our life. Where we may have been giving more than we have in our cup (people pleasing, anyone?) and reminds us that the most important relationship that we have is the one that we have with ourselves. True growth comes from honoring our identity by maintaining and staying true to ourselves within relationships. Because you can only love someone to the depths that you love yourself.
One of the things that I do when we enter a new zodiac season is to reflect on the question: What is this season teaching me? So, what lessons does Libra impart that we can apply to our daily lives? How can we incorporate Libra's teachings into our routines? As the symbol of balance, harmony, and relationships, Libra provides us with invaluable insights that we can utilize to enrich our personal growth and improve our interactions with others. So here are a few of the teachings I resonate with for Libra season;
Seek Balance and Harmony: Libra season encourages us to find balance in our lives, both internally and externally. This is a great time to notice any areas for you that might feel out of sync—work-life balance, relationships, and self-care routines— Can you infuse softness and grace into your efforts to create balance in your life?
Nurture Relationships: As Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and connection, this season invites us to nurture our relationships. It's a time to be mindful of how we relate to others and to foster healthy, loving connections.
Practice Diplomacy and Fairness: Libra is the sign of justice and fairness. She asks us to consider different perspectives, mediate conflicts, and approach situations with a sense of fairness and compassion.
Notice Beauty and Aesthetics: Libra appreciates beauty, art, and aesthetic experiences. This season is an invitation to notice and create beauty in our surroundings, whether through decorating our space, engaging with art, or simply appreciating the natural world.
