We can all take a deep breath — Mercury retrograde is behind us, and Venus has long since gone direct. 🎉
If you’ve still felt a little “off,” you’re not alone. Mercury’s retrograde shadow (the lingering haze after the retrograde itself) clears on August 25th, so by now the energy is smoothing out. Miscommunications, tech hiccups, or small delays should ease as we move forward into September.
Then, on Monday, September 22nd, the Sun moves into the Venus-ruled sign of Libra, aligning with the Fall Equinox. 🍂 The Equinox marks the official transition from summer to fall in the Northern Hemisphere and the halfway point of the astrological year. Light and dark are balanced equally on this day, symbolizing the duality and harmony found in nature. ⚖️
This is the moment to celebrate everything you’ve cultivated since the Spring Equinox on March 20th. Take time to reflect, breathe, and appreciate your growth—whether through meditation, gratitude journaling, or simply sitting in nature. 🪴 You’ve earned a pause to honor all you’ve achieved. 🪩
Energy Shifts
Libra, the seventh sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by the scales of balance. Ruled by Venus, Libra radiates charm, harmony, and social energy. 🌹 As a cardinal air sign, Libra initiates connection and thrives on communication, collaboration, and relationships.
Think of Libra as the elegant host, the mediator, the social butterfly—the one who seeks to understand all sides and create peace. Libra reminds us that through relationships—romantic, platonic, or professional—we better understand ourselves. 🪞
Where Aries (Libra’s opposite) emphasizes independence, Libra emphasizes interdependence. Together, these signs show us that we thrive when we balance self and other. In its highest expression, Libra is the diplomat, the advocate, the leader. ♟️
