Okay, that was the best pun I have ever written and I may never be able to top it. But that won’t stop me from trying.
Libra season coincides with the Autumnal Equinox, and honestly, it is a perfect pairing. Do you know that happy, peaceful feeling you get when you see the leaves change, feel the crisp air, and wrap yourself in your favorite cozy sweater? Yeah, that’s no accident. Just as the Autumnal Equinox brings a balance to our days and night, Libra brings a balance to our mood and sense of well-being.
Mercury Is Square Pluto at 5:18 AM
As we wake up, Mercury in Libra forms a square with Pluto in self-important Capricorn. As weird as this may sound, as far as squares go, this is kind of the perfect one for today. I’ll explain. Since today is the autumnal equinox and the first day of Libra season, there is an increased sense of balance. And believe it or not, there is a lot of balance in this square.
Of course, a square-off between belligerent Libra and disdainful Capricorn may bring out our more arrogant tendencies. However, the expressive and strong-willed energy of Mercury and Mars endows us with wonderful leadership qualities. Just be careful not to stroke your own ego too much. That is how mistakes happen
The Sun Enters Libra at 3:12 PM
Go ahead and call Libra “Anakin Skywalker,” because it is here to restore balance to the force! After a busy yet exhausting Virgo season, Libra is here to bring us peace and harmony. The solar transition from Virgo to Libra is the ultimate work-life balance.
When the sun resides in Libra, we not only crave peace, we also crave diplomacy and justice. You may find yourself saying “it’s just not fair,” a lot these next few weeks. A lack of fairness may cause us to become grumpy and disheartened.
But don’t fret! Libra is ruled by the planet of aesthetic and attraction, Venus! Spring Flings are fun and all, but Libra is bringing us Fall Flirtationships. Don’t be surprised if you feel more attractive this season. While you are opening yourself to the possibility of love or a relationship, don’t forget to turn some of that love inward. Libra wants you to find peace and balance within yourself.
The Moon Is Sextile Jupiter 7:48 PM
What a time to exist under such a brilliant constellation! In the early morning, the moon in vivacious Aries forms a sextile with Jupiter in compassionate Aquarius. This placement is giving us an optimistic outlook. We are reveling in our popularity and success. We feel beautiful from the inside out and appreciate all the beauty around us.
Now is a great time to build upon the intentions we set and the plans we made earlier. It is also a good time to spread the love around, and direct your energy towards philanthropic causes. You can donate to your favorite charity or take part in some community outreach.
The Moon Is Square Pluto at 9:29 PM
This evening, the moon in Aries is square with Pluto in Capricorn. Anxiety-inducing Aries and passive-aggressive Capricorn has us feeling a little wobbly and imbalanced. We feel hypersensitive and have a tendency to overthink and hurt our own feelings.
We find ourselves lost in daydreams, but these fantasies may be more woeful than wistful. It may be tempting to distract ourselves by comparing ourselves to others. It is an easy trap to fall into, and one that each and every one of us has struggled with. But it helps to focus on our own qualities and accomplishments.
The Moon Is Opposite Mercury at 10:07 PM
Half an hour later, the moon in Aries forms an opposition with Mercury in Libra. Under this opposition, we may not use our talents and resources responsibly. When earth signs face off with water signs, our thoughts can be muddy. Our minds can be, if you’ll excuse the pun, mercurial and ever-changing. Because our thoughts and opinions are constantly changing at this time, it may seem like we are being deceitful. We are not necessarily lying, our own truth is just unclear. This lack of clarity can cause us to lash out.
If you feel yourself on the verge of losing your temper, take a step back and try your best to collect your thoughts by taking deep breaths or meditating.
