With Libra season upon us from September 23 through October 23, our resident astrologer Chani Nicholas offers a horoscope for each zodiac sign.


Libra season kicks off on September 23, and on the day that the sun enters Libra, we will experience equal day and night. The equinox will be brief—but for a moment, balance will befall us.

There is nothing that Libra wants more than peace, harmony, and beautiful surroundings. Astrological signs get their meaning, in part, by how nature appears when the sun is traveling through their sign. Libra loathes when the scales of justice are tipped—which is evident by the equal amount of light and dark on the first day of its season.

This makes Libra a sign extremely sensitive to the slightest inequity or wrongly-placed accessory. They may be famous for their people-pleasing ways, but a Libra will work relentlessly to right a wrong. Libra believes in fair treatment for all, which also gives it an ability to be open to all sides of a story. Ruled by Venus, Goddess of Gorgeousness, Libra knows how to add a splash of color and a twist of a tie—and has an uncanny talent for effortlessly completing a look.

From September 23 through October 23, Libra season will bear all of these tried and true sentiments about the sign; this is a moment for all signs to contemplate how to experience more harmony, how to fill our worlds with more beauty and connection, and how to be flirtatious with our goals.

However, Libra season will also bring with it a reality check.

Due to some challenging relationships between the planets moving through Libra and Saturn (the planet of boundaries, discipline, and duty) and Pluto (planet of power, intensity, and long-lasting changes) in Capricorn, we are asked this season to be our own judge and jury. Libra loves to socialize and enjoy the pleasures of life, but our responsibilities may overtake our calendars come the last week of September up until the second week of October, when a dramatic full Moon in Aries will dominate. This will be the peak of both Libra Season and October. The events of our lives leading up to the full Moon are much more serious in tone than the events following it.

Libra Season advises us to temporarily cut what is unnecessary from our calendars and pay attention to our number one priorities. Doing so will tap us into a deeper appreciation for our time, how precious it is, and what we can get done given what we have to work with.

Here's how Libra season will affect each zodiac sign.


Aries

The more honest you are about what you need from your personal, professional, and romantic relationships, the better. Sort through the stories you have of others and get to the truth of what matters in your partnerships. Then, communicate what you need with kindness, clarity, and honesty.

Taurus

Organize your work life so that the most important professional projects you are working on are getting your best efforts.

Gemini

Your creative projects get a head start when you set the right limits. The more thorough your plan, the more efficiently you can direct your efforts and produce your masterpieces.

Cancer

Your home life needs you now. This is a time to get grounded and tend to the responsibilities you have here. Building a space for yourself that feels welcoming, safe, and sturdy is first among them.

Leo

The communication issues that arise now are crucial for you to work though. Tough conversations are part of being a good diplomat. Perfect this skill, and you’ll win many a battle without anyone even knowing they lost one.

Virgo

Your bank balance asks for your commitment. Whatever lessons you are learning through your finances, know that the bottom line is always much deeper than dollars. Get to the root of the issue by allowing your feelings about it to come forward.

Libra

Your season is asking you to double down on your commitment to yourself. Growth comes at a cost, and this year it's price is refusing to play it small by rising to the commitments you know are yours to take on.

Scorpio

Right now, your commitments lie in all the behind the scenes work you are getting done. Don’t be afraid to miss a party or two; your attention needs to be directed towards what matters most—and right now, that’s most likely doing things on your own.

Sagittarius

Your social obligations are not only impressive and substantive, but incredibly important to show up for—with dedication. If you are being asked to do something impressive by or with a group of people, don’t cheat yourself out of the experience by showing up unprepared.

Capricorn

The career opportunities that come this month put pressure on you to do an impeccable job. You are more than capable of rising to the challenge—but please do so while also being kind to yourself. Superhuman feats still get done by your very human self.

Aquarius

Libra season sees you going places. Leaping tall buildings in a single bound will be a little more challenging this month than usual, but the mountains you climb will make you appreciate the effort it took to do so.

Pisces

How you share what you share comes under the microscope right now. What is fair comes into question. Be honest about what you want to do for others—and what you need in exchange.
