Libra is the sister sign to Aries, symbolizing connection compared to Aries’s individuality. During its season, Aries risings must let their awareness expand past their goals to the people around them. This is especially true this year, as we will be experiencing a Solar Eclipse in Libra and a Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini. The Solar Eclipse will take place on October 2nd, putting the importance of relationship into perspective and renewing our drive towards harmony. Aries placements know how to maintain faith even in the darkest hours - how can you help others do the same during these difficult times? Pay attention to how bonding and conversation benefit you as well. Jupiter’s retrograde begins a week later on the 9th, redirecting expansive energy to our internal worlds. Gemini, like Libra, is an air sign, concerned with communication and mental activity. This transit asks you to focus on expanding your skills in these areas, particularly in those that help you form and maintain healthy connections. Gemini encourages us to embrace the duality of ourselves - we can love who we are when we burn our own trail, and who we are when we’re in loving symbiosis.

Eclipse season continues, and Cancer placements are bound to shift with the lunar energy. Your Libra-ruled house happens to be your House of Cancer, elevating the Moon’s effects even further. You can find power in this, though you may feel a little overwhelmed. The Solar Eclipse in Libra brings this energy to a crescendo on October 2nd, highlighting interpersonal issues and emotional expression. Embracing these realizations as useful information is the way to go - this sets you up to make the most of the Full Moon in Aries on the 17th. This Full Moon is a good time to think about balancing emotion with ambition. Both cups can be filled if we are mindful of how we invest our energy. Maybe you could even utilize your natural lunar gifts to get to the top; emotional expression is empowering! Libra Season also contains a Jupiter retrograde, which will take place on October 9th. The planet’s usual expansive energy is directed inward, particularly for Cancer risings, who will experience this shift in their Twelfth House. This is the last House on the Wheel and rules our subconscious, the depths of which may be illuminated by Jupiter. Spending some time alone or simply allowing yourself to be introspective will be useful - just don’t forget to reconvene with your support system after the deep dive!

Leo is a community-oriented sign, the source of warmth around which people gather. However, being a fixed sign, your exchanges aren’t always balanced. Leo risings tend to struggle with even give-and-take, often donating too much energy or demanding too much attention. With the Sun in Libra in your House of Gemini, it’s time to establish a little more equilibrium in your relationships. A Solar Eclipse in Libra also occurs this season on October 2nd, offering fresh insights how to achieve this. Consider what you need from others and what your loved ones need from you. Release any stale habits and ideas concerning how you navigate relationships and the obstacles that naturally coincide. Jupiter goes retrograde in Gemini on the 9th, calling for further internal growth. This is a transit to utilize as you work towards a more balanced way of connecting. Gemini is the sign of duality, teaching us to accept and honor our multifaceted existence. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, takes on this duality as it occupies your House of Aquarius. This actually heightens the theme of duality, as Aquarius is the sister sign to Leo. Over the next 4 months, let Jupiter guide you through inner growth around how you relate to and interact with your community. You can be the light people seek AND someone who advocates for their own needs.

Libra Season may feel more comfortable to Virgo risings than other Virgo placements - your Libra-ruled house is the House of Taurus, and both of these signs are ruled by Venus. Beauty and romance flood your surroundings this month, offering plenty of inspiration and opportunity for connection. The Solar Eclipse on October 2nd will shake things up a bit, bringing your attention to matters concerning attachment styles, possessiveness, protectiveness, and relationship stability. Mercury will enter its related House on the 13th to help you sort it out. It will also be entering Scorpio, allowing you to dive deep into these issues and uncover their roots. Working in tandem with your chart ruler’s powerful position is Jupiter’s retrograde, which calls for inner growth. Jupiter will be in Gemini, Mercury’s other related sign, and your Tenth House. The Tenth House is associated with Capricorn, another Earth sign. Though your rising sign is an Earth sign as well, the difference is that Virgo tends to struggle focusing solely on their ambitions, while Capricorn naturally finds that drive. How can you utilize your Mercurial genius to get to the top? What are your strengths, and how can you be a little more selfish in using them? Remember that investing in yourself widens your range for helping others.

When I wrote horoscopes for Gemini Season, I mentioned that Libra Risings have an advantage with Jupiter entering Gemini - its corresponding House is ruled by Gemini in your chart. We will see this benefit more clearly as Jupiter begins to retrograde, since it will still be at home in the Ninth House. We love a little extra luck for your rising sign’s season! While many others will be grappling with inner blockages and resistance to change, Libra Risings will have an easier time navigating this transit. We’ll also be experiencing a Libra Solar Eclipse this month, meaning you’ll feel its effects in your House of Identity. Anyone with this rising sign will need the occasional recalibration when it comes to matters of the self, and that’s what the Solar Eclipse has to offer you. Self care, journaling, and affirmations may be of use at this time. Mercury will be occupying the same House to help you through this process. Your chart ruler Venus will also be occupying its related house in Scorpio for the majority of the season - let it lead you through this period of change and deliver you to a more beautiful version of yourself. Bring this renewed sense of self into your connections following the Aries Full Moon in your House of Relationships on October 17th.

Pisces as a sign is boundless. It’s the sea of the collective, the ties that exist between us all. A chart with strong Pisces placements creates an empath that may easily find common ground or likeness in other people. This is a beautiful thing, and should be embraced. However, you might occasionally struggle to grasp what is and isn’t you, which traits and morals truly resonate. Libra Season holds a lot of clarity in these areas for Pisces risings. It begins on October 2nd with the Solar Eclipse in your House of Internal Assets - time to take stock of everything within. Remember that when you know what you contain, you know what you have to share. Jupiter enters retrograde in Gemini on the 9th, calling for inner growth and exploration. We’ll see this occur in your House of Roots, which concerns your emotional foundation, family, home, and childhood; certainly a lot to unpack!
