In a year that, astrologically speaking, has kept us on our toes, the universe inspires yet another transformation. Libra season—arriving between September 22 and October 21—always turns our attention toward the state of our relationships as well as attaining a true sense of balance in our lives. As a zodiac sign ruled by Venus and represented by the Scales of Justice, this season always inspires us to weigh whether we give ourselves the same energy we give others. This will be particularly felt between the October 6 Full Moon in Aries and October 11, when the yearly Venus-Saturn opposition brings reality checks around our closest connections.
And while the classic Libra season themes remain true, in 2025, Libra season is colored by deep hues of Scorpio energy. During the first half of Libra season, between September 22 and October 14, Mars and Mercury enter Scorpio and clash with Pluto as the planet of transformation ends its four-month retrograde. Mars and Pluto are the planetary rulers of Scorpio, allowing us to decode thoughts and uncover the true desires that lurk beneath the surface of our being.
Themes around unapologetic ambition, personal power, and hunger for success ripple through the collective, which is great news for many of us. Since Mars, the driving force behind our actions, has been weak for most of the year, its once-every-two-year visit to Scorpio is set to energize us in a big way now. If you’ve been hoping to feel driven to tackle an ambitious project or an endless to-do list, Mars in Scorpio between September 22 and November 3 serves as your fuel.
If you feel confused about either an important relationship or a financial situation between October 13 and October 18, Venus traveling in Libra between October 19 and November 6 helps you get clarity and smooth things out with either a friend or romantic partner. Since the planet named after the goddess of love and pleasure only visits Libra, the sign of relationships, once a year, these days provide the perfect terrain for expressing your love and affection.
Libra season ends with a bang with the arrival of the October 21 New Moon in Libra. While this lunar event magnifies emotions, it opens the door for a deep sense of healing to inundate our relationships if we dare to see beneath the surface of our long-held patterns. Mending bonds within our blood or extended family dynamics is possible now, and one of the promises of this year’s Jupiter passage through the watery and nurturing sign of Cancer.
Find out how Libra season 2025 is affecting your sign with your horoscope below. Read your rising as well as your sun sign.
Aries
Relationships of all kinds promise to be one of your focuses this Libra season, Aries, but what’s different about the last month is that you’ll be seeing them through a completely different lens. With Mars, your ruling planet, traveling through Scorpio all season long, you’re gaining much more clarity and decisiveness in your life in general, including relationships. The October 6 Full Moon, which happens in your sign, will be very telling about where you stand in either a romantic or a business-related relationship. Since this is one of the most important lunar events of the year for you, it’s important to allow yourself to feel the full spectrum of emotions now. If you feel confused about where you stand in an important bond between October 13 and October 18, help is on the way, so try to be patient. Between October 19 and November 6, Venus in Libra promises to infuse your relationships with a sense of intimacy and closeness.
Work-related relationships also become important between September 30 and October 9. This will be a time to be flexible and allow yourself to exhibit some of your most diplomatic skills in order to push a project through the finish line. The last lunar event of the season, the October 21 New Moon in Libra, activates the benevolent energy of Jupiter in your home sector, which could help you find either healing or closure in a situation involving either a partner, a family member, or a close friend.
Reflection Question
How can I give more of myself to the people I care about without feeling depleted of my own energy?
Mantra
When I cultivate patience in my relationships, I gain access to a different dimension of my own desires.
Taurus
Libra season promises to be a busy time for you, Taurus, as many different areas of your life will be activated by several planetary activations. Expect to be busy between September 22 and October 14, as Mercury and Mars in Scorpio activate Pluto in your tenth house of career. Your sense of ambition will be ignited, seeing you taking action on some of the desires and goals that you’ve been giving birth to in your mind since the beginning of the year. Since driven Mars will be traveling in your partnership sector all the way to November 4, your mind could be weighing the pros and cons of entering into either a contract or deal that could either bring you success or boost your career visibility.
Your personal relationships are also under focus. If you’re in a committed partnership, Mars in Scorpio is set to ignite your desire to connect with your partner at a much deeper level. This bi-yearly transit could really heighten your sexual drive, so it’s definitely something to harness and make the best of. If you’re single, Libra season functions as a rite of passage for your romantic life. Between September 30 and October 12, you might notice your approach to dating changing in meaningful ways. For example, your usual type might no longer be your type, or you could see your usual relationship non-negotiable melting away, making way for new ones to be born during the time Venus is strong in Libra, between October 19 and November 6.
Reflection Question
What is the deepest and wildest career desire I haven’t dared to chase due to feelings of fear?
Mantra
When I allow myself to embrace change in love, I get closer to attracting my heart’s desires.
Gemini
With the sky activating both of the career-related sectors of your chart, a very productive season awaits you, Gemini. Between September 30 and October 13, you could be busy with meetings that are about wrapping up important projects that you worked on between March 2023 and May 2025. This is when career planet Saturn helped you build something meaningful—and now, all you need to do to succeed is give whatever you built one last push. Luckily, Mars traveling through your work sector all season long is going to give you the energy required to push forward some of your most important goals. If any of your projects require a deep amount of focus, September 22-23 and October 6-9 are the perfect days to dive into your research. By the time the season comes to an end, with the October 21 New Moon in Libra, you could be reaping the rewards of your efforts by either closing a deal or receiving a raise.
Libra is an energy that you feel very connected to, as it activates the area of your chart that rules pleasure, romance, and creativity. If you’re single, you’ll receive plenty of opportunities to meet new prospects, which is especially true around the October 6 Full Moon in Aries. Later in the season, Venus graces the same part of your chart between October 19 and November 6. These are some of the best days of the year to focus on dating or romance, regardless of our status.
Reflection Question
How can I maximize my unique talents and efforts to continue building a successful career trajectory?
Mantra
When I focus deeply on the task at hand, I’m able to get to places I would never even notice.
Cancer
Libra rules your home and family sector, so a lot of your attention will be in this area of your life more than usual. The days surrounding the October 6 Full Moon in Aries might be specifically busy, as you juggle both of these two aspects of your life, so strive to, as much as possible, keep a low social and career schedule. As you focus on spending more time with family or your chosen tribe, you feel an energy of expansion, especially two weeks later, when the October 21 new moon in Libra brings the promise of ease, flow, and even a deep sense of healing to your life. This lunar event is activating Jupiter in your sign, meaning that a new beginning, connected to the possibility of abundance and success, might reach you now.
As a water sign with profound feelings, you can expect to peel even more layers of your being, arriving at the very core of your desires, Cancer. When it comes to romance, you can expect to feel very introspective, especially during the first part of the season, between September 22 and October 14. This is when three planets—Mercury, Mars, and Pluto—team up to help you realize that, when it comes to love and intimacy, you’re starting to form new views, non-negotiables, and desires. If you are already partnered, this would be a time to have deep and intimate conversations, as your ability to go beyond the surface will be magnified.
Reflection Question
What do I need to heal at the deepest level in order to expand in the direction of my dreams?
Mantra
Focusing on what’s most important to me feels endlessly liberating and soul-enriching.
Leo
Relationships, all kinds of them, will play a key role in your life, dear Leo. The entrance of Mars into the sign of Scorpio heralds a bi-yearly time during which a lot of your focus is on your home and family. During the time that Mercury and Mars activate Pluto, between September 23 and October 9, deep conversations might need to take place between you and a family member or romantic partner. Either you or someone close to you might be setting different types of boundaries for your relationship, and the more both parties can open up, the better the foundation for the relationship will be moving forward. Alternatively, you could be working on a deal or business partnership that seeks to empower your position in your industry. After all, Libra rules your third house of communication, which means that you will be doing a lot of talking, listening, and perhaps even negotiating. The two powerful lunar events that occur this season, the October Full Moon as well as the October 21 New Moon, speak of times of busyness and communication-related activity
Since this is a year during which you are gaining a lot of spiritual knowledge or experience, you could be in for an epiphany towards the end of the month. This aha moment could arrive when you expected it the least—via a dream or a symbol, or a message, so pay attention to the subtle sensations you run into on and around October 16.
Reflection Question
How can I express my deepest needs and boundaries while still feeling a true sense of empowerment?
Mantra
When I pay attention to the subtle energies around me, I find magic moments everywhere.
Virgo
In a way, Libra season is a continuation of what was set in place in September, Virgo. Eclipse season, which occurred during your birthday season, was incredibly eventful and helped you realize that certain life changes are imminent. Since one of the themes of Libra season is self-empowerment, you are bound to feel it in the area of your life that rules work as well as daily routines. Between September 22 and October 13, you may implement certain changes, which may include expressing your desire for adjustments to your boss or colleagues. Along these lines, you might need to make changes to your own daily routine, as a way to feel more energized and empowered—whether that is eating healthier, exercising more, or meditating more often. Ideally, you’re striving for more balance in your life, especially because you’re in a process of personal transformation.
Your personal relationships might also experience a few adjustments between October 10 and October 17, as a result of important events that occur at the October 6 Full Moon in Aries. If you are romantically committed, this lunar event could represent an ending in the way that you relate to one another, making room for a new beginning to be born in your relationship two weeks later, at the October 21 New Moon in Libra. If these conversations are about money or shared resources, the days between October 19 and November 6 could bring good news or positive energy your way.
Reflection Question
Which personal needs are more important for me to prioritize in terms of personal happiness?
Mantra
When I cultivate an authentic feeling of abundance, my whole life feels richer.
Libra
It’s your birthday season, Libra—and this year, you have your eyes on the prize! Since the three astrological houses of your chart that rule career and work will be activated, you could be preparing to either start a new job, get a raise, or negotiate a partnership. And while some of your influences look stellar, some might need a little bit of careful handling. A couple of confusing aspects arrive around September 23 and October 13, when Neptune, the planet of illusion, gets activated in your partnership sector. For this reason, cultivating patience rather than rushing could be more helpful than detrimental. This is especially true around October 6, when the Full Moon in Aries brings the perception that quick decision-making might be necessary and the best route to take.
One of your biggest gifts comes in the form of patience when it comes to negotiation, and something else that you can rely on this season is your ability to see both sides of any story, as well as a unique set of problem-solving abilities. Your strongest moment arrives between October 19 and November 6, which is when Venus, the planet of money, graces your sign. The new moon in Libra that occurs during this time, on October 21, represents a major new beginning in your life and one that could be tied to either a bigger paycheck or a stronger professional (or social) presence. This is when the 2025 promise of expansion you’ve been feeling could actually manifest itself!
Reflection Question
How can I exhibit my unique gifts and talents while negotiating under pressure?
Mantra
With clarity, self-empowerment, and confidence, I expand in the direction of my dreams.
Scorpio
It’s not your season, Scorpio, but it might certainly feel like it! With the most driven of all planets, Mars, traveling in your sign all season long, you’re feeling ambitious. Mercury, the planet of communication, also enters your sign on October 6, which means that you will be busy either writing, traveling, or negotiating important deals. Between September 22 and October 13, as these two planets clash with powerful Pluto, you could become aware of behaviors and thoughts that in the past have prevented you from embracing a true sense of power. But this time, you’re feeling stronger and more adventurous, meaning that you will be ready to crush any self-limiting beliefs. This is bound to happen at the very end of the season, at the October 21 New Moon in Libra.
Within this process of transformation, you might notice some of your long-held habits (or even projects) coming to an end at the October 6 Full Moon. This might prompt you to embrace a new learning journey that promises to bring you expansion and more monetary abundance down the road. In the end, with Jupiter activating your education sector, you’re realizing that, to thrive in the new world, you must learn some new tricks to either become or stay relevant in your industry. Luckily, Scorpio, you’re heading into some of your most productive months of the entire year—between September 22 and March 1, while your planet Mars becomes stronger, the sky is, indeed, the limit!
Reflection Question
How can I set myself up for success in these times of great collective change?
Mantra
The deeper I dive into self-study, the more aware I become of my immense personal power.
Sagittarius
Virgo season, which was Eclipse Season, was a very busy time for you, Sagittarius. Libra season serves as a time for you to adjust to any of the changes that you experienced. This is particularly true with Mars, the planet of drive and assertion, entering an area of your chart that is all about rest, introspection, and healing. Between now and November 4, the more time you allow yourself to replenish your energy, the more productive you will be between November 4 and mid-December, which is when Mars will grace your sign. And even though you are going to feel introspective this season, you can expect a lot of movement within your career and social circles. Between September 30 and October 9, there might be some changes within your career or your industry that have been brewing under the surface for some time. The October 6 Full Moon in Aries illuminates what this means for either a collaboration or social group you belong to.
Your personal life is also highlighted this season, Sagittarius—masterful Saturn has returned to your home sector, inspiring you to take a much more serious approach to the foundations of your life. Between October 15 and the October 21 New Moon in Libra, you might need to make some choices regarding the people you surround yourself with. Who is truly deserving of your time and helps you evolve? As you dare to answer this question, a deeply healing moment within an intimate relationship could transpire.
Reflection Question
What goals do I need to take a break from now and come back to with a true sense of drive and ambition?
Mantra
I surround myself with those who truly understand how my nature is evolving.
Capricorn
Libra season is always an important time for you, Capricorn, as it is one of the times of the year during which you’re feeling driven, ambitious, and productive. You might be getting ready for a launch, conference, or important strategy meetings, making use of your social and diplomatic skills. If you need to make important career-related decisions between September 22 and September 29, and between October 13 and October 18, tread carefully. Since a confusing vibe will permeate the sky during those days, giving yourself extra time or consulting someone you trust before acting could be really helpful. The days between October 19 and November 6, when Venus graces your career sector, promise to bring some advancement, or at least ease to your professional meetings and flow. October 19, in particular, is positive for getting together with your colleagues and brainstorming any ideas for the future.
But Libra season is not just about career advancement; it’s also highlighting an important theme around balance. If you’ve been sacrificing time away from home and your family in order to sustain your workload, expect this to become obvious between the October 6 Full Moon and the October 21 New Moon. Around now, you might have to make important choices, in the case that there is a need to cultivate more balance. Chiron, the planetary body of healing that has been inspiring you to uncover any unresolved themes since 2019, brings the possibility for a deep sense of healing to be felt in your home and family life.
Reflection Question
How can I blend my heart, intuition, and logic to make decisions?
Mantra
When I make decisions from the deepest part of my heart, I am guided by the highest power in the universe.
Aquarius
Prepare to be busy, Aquarius! Every two years, every zodiac sign receives an injection of energy that can be harnessed towards career goals and soul purpose. For you, that time is arriving now as Mars, the driven planet of action, super-charges your career sector starting September 22. Between now and November 4, you’ll have more energy at your disposal to hit new levels of productivity. Some of these days, however, might bring intense interactions as Pluto, the planet of power, inspires you to step into your power, between September 22 and October 1, and October 6 to October 9. Expect to get insights into your true ambitions and desires now—as well as what keeps you from achieving them—via the conversations and events that transpire.
Your month is also infused by the feminine and daring energy of asteroid Pallas Athene. Being the feminine goddess asteroid of wisdom and strategy, Pallas goes direct in your sign on October 4, followed by Pluto on October 13. You are being given “the gift of strategy,” which can be used in any aspect of your life: career, wellness, love, or family. The gift Pallas lends unites intuition with strategy, the left and right sides of the brain, the feminine and masculine, going beyond the break of the two sides of the story. A way to harness this would be to sit down and put a plan in place, regardless of its nature. The October 21 New Moon in Libra, in particular, is an ideal time to express your desires to the universe.
Reflection Question
Which area of my life could use the influence of the sacred marriage between yin and yang energies?
Mantra
I dare to travel beyond superficiality; the deeper I look inside, the more powerful I feel.
Pisces
After the busyness of Eclipse Season, you might feel more introspective this season, Pisces. You’ll be integrating all the change you’ve experienced and most likely need to focus on important projects and life matters. With masterful Saturn now retrograde back in your sign until mid-February, your time is best used when focused on building something meaningful that will last the test of time. Some of the key relationships in your life might be part of that, which will become highlighted during two separate times. First, between September 30 and October 9, when a conversation or event brings back a theme that occurred at the September 21 Solar Eclipse. You may now notice some of your ways to see and approach relationships melting away. Then, on October 10 and 11, when Venus clashes with Saturn, a new set of boundaries or agreements might need to be put in place within an important relationship.
Ruled by Venus, Libra energy is a lot about love and romance, which is something you’ll also get to experience this season. If you’re already committed, Venus in Libra makes the days between October 19 and November 6 ideal for dates and exchanging sweet words and hugs. If you’re single, Jupiter’s blessing magnifies your prospects to meet someone special towards the October 21 New Moon. Even if you’re not actively dating, you might experience a reset, a new beginning in the way you approach all good things in life: romance, fun, and pleasure.
Reflection Question
What is the best use of my time when I think of my long-term goals?
Mantra
It is my birthright to experience pleasure in all its forms. I open myself to love, joy, and happiness.
