libra horoscopes 9/23 - 10/23

Libra: A Balancing Act

Libra is the sign of marriage, harmony and balance. Each of these qualities is the result of a working relationship to give and take. As the sun travels through Libra for the next 30 days, it is a time to enjoy the leisure and enjoyment of connection. At the root of connection, we are always in a state of balance - you and I, us and them, client and service provider, protagonist and antagonist. Libras are well regarded for their grace, diplomacy and ability to navigate these multiplicities. They are attuned to balance and know how to curate any situation to make it flow. Within their cool and easygoing nature, there is an immense balancing act going on inside - weighing, considering, calculating - which is where their indecisive quality tends to show up. Balance can be, but is not always, a state of passivity. It takes a lot of work to constantly adjust to changes. Though its external expression is that of grace and ease, Libra is not a passive sign. There tends to be an inner chaos that is constantly sorting and adjusting to maintain a state of balance.

The sun’s movement into Libra on September 23 is the Autumn Equinox - the transition of equal day to night. This shift of seasons brings us all to a place of internal equilibrium. Libra expresses the quality of harmonizing the multiplicities working all at once to create a flowing environment for connection to thrive.
