As the Sun moves through Libra from September 22nd to October 22nd, summon your inner peacekeeper, negotiator, and matchmaker. Sol’s entrance into this cardinal air sign marks the September Equinox, when night and day are equal in length. This is a time for appreciating symmetry and balance, however they show up in your life. No matter what may be happening in the world, Libra season encourages us to find pockets of beauty and harmony amid the chaos. There will always be more battles to pick and conflicts to mediate, but it’s essential to keep making art, building connections, and improving the mood lighting along the way. Whatever you do, take this opportunity to remind yourself what you’re really fighting for.
The Full Moon in Aries on October 6th is a chance to take stock of any projects that have been coming together over the past six months. What requires more action, bravery, or confidence from you? If frustration or competitiveness is blocking your progress, simmer down. Instead of lashing out, use your imagination. This hotheaded Full Moon is joined by intuitive Neptune, so get idealistic about your goals. Stretch your strategic thinking. Consider the best possible outcome — then go for it. Be your own most enthusiastic coach, and give yourself the pep talks that will keep you going.
The New Moon in Libra on October 21st is a powerful moment to set fresh intentions. Get as clear as possible about what you want to manifest in your relationships, creative practices, or activist efforts. Generous Jupiter is squaring this New Moon and hyping up the energy of this vision-boarding party, so think big. And don’t worry too much about the little details — they’ll sort themselves out in time. This lunation is also opposing Chiron, the wounded healer, so pay attention to any self-doubt that arises. Sometimes our insecurities suddenly flare up so we can more easily tend to them. Face your fears, but don’t get stuck there. You have wishes to grant and dreams to realize.
