Libra is artistic, charming, cooperative, refined and social. Relationships are especially important to the Libra nature. Typical Libra occupations include being an architect, art dealer, diplomat, moderator and interior designer. Ask your Libra friend to go shopping with you for a creative afternoon.
Welcome to the Autumn Equinox! Because of the yearly orbit of the Earth around the Sun, we have four important moments each year --- two equinoxes and two solstices that mark the changing of the seasons. The equinoxes occur in spring and autumn when the length of the days and nights are nearly equal all over the world. This makes sense because equinox means “equal nights”. The solstices occur when the Earth is angled to the Sun, creating summer in the northern hemisphere with winter in the southern hemisphere at the same time. Those are the times of the longest and shortest days of the year.
The Autumn Equinox signals a time of harvest and gratitude. Celebrations honor it as a time for reflection and setting intentions for the coming months. Harmony and balance are key Libra qualities. Ancient monuments like Stonehenge are places of celebration honoring the cycles of nature. Have your own celebration to help attract what you want in life.
The astrology is fascinating this month with several important things occurring. Saturn and Neptune, who recently entered Aries, are now retrograding back into Pisces to finish up the last details. They will both enter Aries for good in January and February 2026. Now would be the perfect time to complete projects that are almost done. Put on the finishing touches during this month.
Jupiter in Cancer is blessing us now with strong trines, or blue lines, to Saturn, Neptune and the North Node in Pisces. Jupiter in Cancer is about community and society helping and giving back. Jupiter is also about philanthropy and heroes, both of which we’re seeing everywhere.
The other positive aspects happening this month are all the Libra planets forming an Air Grand Trine to both Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. Those two outer planets will be aligned until 2028, and this is just the beginning. This is another indication of a strong connection between people. Groups, non-profit organizations and community teams will be forming and will gain strength in the coming years. This is the beginning of a new phase in the world. We’re watching humanity transform right in front of us.
Regarding the visible planets, we can see planets in both the predawn and evening skies. Venus and Jupiter are visible before dawn and are hard to miss. Mars and Saturn are visible in the evening sky. Enjoy Mars now because he will soon be lost to the glow of the Sun.
See you next in Scorpio
