“A fine balance of giving and receiving is essential for a healthy, thriving relationship."

Harmony
The Sun spends about a month in each sign, lighting our way around the wheel of the heavens. As He moves, He draws our focus to different areas of life, reminding us of the many chapters in our journey. The Sun is our guiding light, our sense of purpose. He wants each of us to shine as our true selves, walking our path with clarity and heart.
From 22nd September to 22nd October (London), the Sun will be travelling through Libra, the Air sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by The Scales. This is a season of balance, harmony, and connection. The question for us is: what does this mean for our own lives? And how can we work with the solar energy over the coming weeks to grow into more authentic and integrated versions of ourselves?
Libra
Libra is the home of Venus, Goddess of love and beauty. It is also where Saturn, God of time and wisdom, is honoured. Libra is symbolised by The Scales symbolising balance, fairness, and the weighing of truth.
This is the time of year when the nights begin to grow longer than the days. Darkness gently takes the lead from light. In ancient astrology, Libra was seen as the place where the soul descends into the underworld to be judged after death. It is linked both to the harvest and to the reckoning that follows. It is the moment of being weighed.
Because of this, Libra carries themes of:
Balance, judgment, and justice
Fairness and beauty
Discernment, evaluation, and harvest
Image, vanity, and the difference between what is real and what is only surface
Libra asks us to consider: what is truly fair, what is truly beautiful, and what is worth carrying forward when the harvest is gathered in?

Libra Season
As The Sun moves into Libra, the air itself feels different. The days tip toward darkness, the evenings stretch longer, and there’s a softness in the light. Nature is showing us balance in action: fruit heavy on the trees, fields ready for gathering, the sky holding equal parts day and night.
Libra season often brings a shift in how we relate to one another. You might notice a deeper pull to connect, to listen, to find common ground. The desire to smooth things over or make beauty where there is mess can feel stronger than usual. But this isn’t just about keeping the peace it’s about learning how to hold both yourself and the other with honesty.
This is a time for asking: Where in my life am I leaning too far to one side? What would bring me closer to the centre? Libra teaches us to dance between opposites. To know when to speak and when to listen. To enjoy the elegance of a well-set table, a kind word, or a quiet moment shared with someone we love.
If you want to work with this season, let it be simple:
Notice beauty. Let it feed you.
Practise fairness, especially in the small things.
Choose connection, but don’t lose yourself in it.
The gift of Libra season is the reminder that harmony isn’t about avoiding conflict or pleasing everyone it’s about finding the sweet spot where truth and love meet. From that place, joy flows naturally.
The Sun in Libra through the Houses
When The Sun moves into Libra, we enter a season of balance, beauty, and connection. It’s the equinox point, a time when day and night stand equal, and nature mirrors the invitation to find more harmony in our own lives.
But balance doesn’t look the same for everyone. Where Libra sits in your chart tells us which part of life is being lit up right now. For some, it’s relationships. For others, it might be home, work, or health. The themes of Libra: fairness, beauty, connection, and truth, will weave themselves into these different areas depending on your rising sign.
Think of this as a seasonal guide: a way to notice what’s shifting for you, where you might feel pulled, and how you can use this time for growth and joy.
Aries Rising – Relationships (7th House)
This season shines a light on your partnerships. You may notice where things feel out of sync in your closest bonds. It’s a good time to practice fairness and listen as much as you speak. Learn the art of compromise without losing yourself.
Taurus Rising – Daily Life (6th House)
Your routines and wellbeing get a boost of attention. You might feel pulled to tidy up your schedule, refresh your workspace, or make your habits more balanced. Small, beautiful changes in your everyday rhythm can bring surprising peace.
Gemini Rising – Creativity & Joy (5th House)
Pleasure calls. You may feel more inspired to create, play, or even fall in love with something or someone. This season invites you to share your joy, not just keep it to yourself. Let beauty be a source of connection.
Cancer Rising – Home & Family (4th House)
The spotlight turns inward, toward your home and private world. You might feel the urge to beautify your space or restore peace in family ties. Creating balance at home helps you feel emotionally secure.
Leo Rising – Communication (3rd House)
Words matter now. You could find yourself in more conversations, learning, or local connections. Libra season asks you to practise diplomacy. Say what you mean with kindness and listen just as carefully.
Virgo Rising – Money & Values (2nd House)
Your relationship with money and possessions comes into focus. You may feel called to bring balance to your spending or to invest in things that truly reflect your values. What you choose to keep says a lot about what you value in yourself.

This is your reset point. You may feel freshly aware of how you show up in the world and how others see you. It’s time to align your outer image with your inner truth. Small acts of self-care ripple out into everything.
Scorpio Rising – Spiritual Life (12th House)
You might feel the need to slow down, rest, or step back from the noise. Libra season offers a chance to restore inner balance through solitude, retreat, or healing work. Make space for quiet and let your spirit breathe.

Aquarius Rising – Beliefs & Growth (9th House)
Big-picture thinking is lit up. You might feel drawn to travel, study, or simply explore ideas that expand your perspective. Seek philosophies that help you see both sides and bring more balance to your worldview.
Pisces Rising – Depth & Intimacy (8th House)
Relationships get deep. Issues around trust, sharing, and intimacy may surface. Libra season asks you to explore fairness in how you give and receive. Transformation happens when you find balance in your closest bonds.
✨ In summary: Libra season invites all of us to notice where things have tipped too far to one side, and to gently bring them back into balance. This isn’t about perfection, it’s about creating more ease, beauty, and fairness in the parts of life that matter most.
