Summer has officially ended and following the Autumn Equinox on September 22-23, Libra season has begun.

It’s also the halfway point of the astrological year, symbolizing the perfect time for checking in with our lives and assessing the direction we are going in as the final months of 2022 stretch before us.

Autumn energy is the ideal time for planting seeds of intention and harvesting the results of our efforts from earlier in the year.

This Libra season stands out as a pretty intense time due to six major planets in retrograde as we enter October 2022 – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

All this retrograde energy means that we should definitely be taking time to rest, relax, reflect and recharge with Libra’s calm, balanced graceful vibes.

Libra is ruled by the planet Venus and it’s also a cardinal air sign.

Native Librans are usually balanced, peace-loving people who prioritize their relationships and appreciate the aesthetically beautiful things in life.

Themes of relationships and partnerships will be taking center stage during this season, and you may feel the urge to slow down and cultivate quality time with those you love, appreciating the beauty of each moment.

Work and career may also be in the spotlight as your professional life could take a surprise turn. Perhaps you are looking for a new job or forging new partnerships.

Libra is a very social sign, so any dealings with other people will be at the forefront.

Libra is also represented by the scales, meaning that balance is always key during this season.

That is going to be essential to remember as we move into October.

How to work with the Energy

Connect With Others

Spend time with your favorite people, plan dinner parties or share in fun Fall activities such as hiking, baking, or visiting a pumpkin patch.

Libra energy urges us to bring out our harmonious side, be the peacemaker and bring unity and love to each of our interactions.

Health and Movement

As Libra is all about balance, this is the perfect time to assess your general diet and nutrition.

Consider cutting out any junk food this season and adding in more fresh, whole foods instead.

A small detox always works wonders to clear the mind and prepare you on all levels for new ideas and creative projects.

In addition, try to get outside in the early hours of sunlight and walk or move your body in some way to get the energy flowing.

It’s an amazing way to begin the day and will make you feel grounded, connected to yourself as well as happier and with a clearer mind.

Remember – the beauty of long term health is made up by individual choices we make each day.

Work-Life Balance

Living a good work-life balance is even more imperative during Libra season.

What can you do to bring some of Libra’s grace and harmony to your productivity and organization?

How can you re-organize your schedule so that you find balance and peace even during your busiest moments?

No matter how large your to-do list is, always prioritize your health.

Make time for rest and don’t burn the candles at both ends this season.

Self-care Practices

Include balancing, calming yoga poses into your routine such as Tree Pose, Dancer Pose, and Warrior Three.

Libra rules over the lower back region of our bodies, a particularly sensitive area for those of us who spend a lot of time sedentary.

You can try stretching out your lower back and strengthening those muscles with Child’s Pose, Happy Baby, and Supine Twists.

Reorganize your Home

Invite change into your life by throwing out the old and reorganizing your home.

Literally just removing some unwanted items from your closet or storage can invite new energy and change into your experience.

This also works well with the vibes of reflection and the beginnings of a brand new season.

If you can remember just one thing with Libra season let it be this – Visualize yourself embodying balance, harmony, beauty, and justice in all aspects of your life, communication with others and even the way you speak to yourself.

Just do what you can to appreciate and bask in each magical moment of life.

Seek balance and tranquility and see if you can find a way to leave everything in your life a little more beautiful.
