Libra Season officially kicked off, and boy, is it an intense one! Not only are we deep in Eclipse season—fresh off the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces and building toward a Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2nd—but we're also in the midst of some rather potent and clarifying karmic activations, playing out over the next few days. Relationships are at the forefront, and there's a big push to go deep within ourselves, and our connections, to release things of the past.

Libra season is a time when we can seek to bring things back into better balance. As a communicative Air sign, symbolized by the scales, Libra represents harmony and justice. It's ruled by Venus, the planet of love, money, and relationships. Libra loves to make things beautiful, light, and balanced—with a strong dislike of confrontations. However, the shadow qualities of Libra can manifest as indecisiveness, over-giving, prioritizing others' needs to maintain harmony, and one that always gets me—caring too much what others think.

Venus just moved out of Libra and into Scorpio this past Sunday, on the same day that the Sun moved into Libra, setting the tone for the month ahead. Venus in Scorpio is uncomfortable here, as relationship dynamics intensify and go deeper than usual. On one hand, this can encourage deeper intimacy and merging within relationships. But Scorpio, a sign ruled by Mars and Pluto, penetrates deep into the shadows, can be obsessive and secretive, and typically reveals things that were hidden as it desires to get to the root truth of matters.

Power dynamics can surface at this time, which can be challenging to navigate. Questions around relationships and things feeling out of balance within relationships is a theme that has been coming up strongly this past week from people I've met with for astrology readings. I've definitely been encountering some relationship intensities myself! If you're currently going through it in relationships right now, you're certainly not alone.

This week, Mercury, planet of communication, is also very busy. Mercury picked up the Earth Grand Trine the Sun moved through last week in Virgo, which I discussed in my last email, as well as re-activated that rare kite aspect with Pluto in Capricorn, Neptune in Pisces, and Uranus in Taurus. More and more insights and info bubbling up to the surface about our grand plans and possibilities for the future!

Mercury is moving fast and entered Libra early this morning, where it will catch up with the Sun by Monday. Over the weekend, both the Sun and Mercury will make conjunctions with the South Node—the release point in the sky—before meeting in a cazimi on Monday. Adding to the intensity, Black Moon Lilith, the point in the chart that represents the hidden and taboo, will also be aligned with all these celestial bodies. This all unfolds just days ahead of the Solar Eclipse in Libra next Wednesday, which will further activate the South Node. What a busy and potent time for release!

These next few days, with the Sun and Mercury activating the South Node in Libra, Lilith’s influence, and the Sun-Mercury cazimi (where Mercury is 'in the heart of' the Sun), offers a chance to recognize how our relationships mirror our own unresolved inner conflicts. Although these triggering interactions may slow us down or challenge us, this is intentional. We’re being called to reflect deeply on our contributions to the dynamics at play and confront patterns ready for release. Without addressing them, they’ll continue to impact existing relationships or follow us into future ones.

With Venus in Scorpio, the intensity and power dynamics are impossible to ignore. It’s a shadowy time for sure, but the energy of the Sun and Mercury can help us gain clarity on what’s really going on. The cosmos are urging us to go deep, address what’s out of balance, and reclaim our power to restore harmony within ourselves first—which will ultimately bring better balance to our relationships.

Of course, there's always additional astrological influences to consider. Venus in Scorpio will form an inconjunct to the North Node in Aries on Saturday, while Mars in Cancer will form a trine with Saturn in Pisces on Sunday. Venus is highlighting uncomfortable choices we might be facing when it comes to honoring our personal desires. Mars and Saturn support discipline and boundary-setting around things we need to feel emotionally secure and the karmic lessons we've been growing through.
