Dear Libra placements,

I want to start by apologizing for being mean to y’all in my horoscopes. I only speak truth, and as a Libra Sun, Mercury, and Venus myself, it’s only fair I project my insecurities, room for growth and self-criticism into our daily predictions. Nonetheless, Libra season is upon us, and until Oct. 22, it is our time to shine. 

At our best, we exude nothing but beauty, grace and intelligence. It’s why other signs hate us. True beauty is simply existing in the full glory yourself and your potential. It’s being able to live at any moment while others admire you for simply existing. As Libra placements, we live in the beauty of what surrounds us, and unlike the rest of the zodiac, we have the ability to articulate whatever it is we find beautiful.

Libra season and Libra placements teach us all to find gratitude and appreciation for the harmony we seek. Nothing is perfect and neither are Libra placements; however, Libra’s unique ability to meet the needs of others and make things functional is something we can all learn from.

Libra season is a time to work with others, express love to those around you and embrace what gives you a sense of peace. This helps us remember that not everything is about us. Rather, there is a complex network of things working in unison that help us exist in our truest form.

Libra season 2020 will not be easy for any of the signs. We will see the height of Mars retrograde in Aries, and Mercury will also station retrograde. Mars retrograde will show us where we neglect to assert ourselves, and Mercury retrograde will expose all the ways we forget to advocate for our needs. The sign of Libra is all about collaboration, and we will see all the ways collaboration fails us. Hence, this Libra season we must take accountability for our actions and stand up for ourselves. This is a lesson all zodiac placements must learn in order to create more sustainable boundaries and a stronger sense of self. 

With love, 

Your favorite Libra Sun

Horoscopes can be applied to your sun and rising signs. As with all horoscopes, take what you need and leave what you don’t. 

ARIES SUN/RISING – You are being tested. Think before you act. Libra season will encourage you to find better coping mechanisms and make time to relax. Give yourself the gift of time or continue to suffer the consequences of your impulsive actions. 

TAURUS SUN/RISING – Does your work bring you joy? Do you feel supported by those around you? If you don’t enjoy your surroundings, then it’s time to be the one who spices things up. Take initiative and be the change you want to see. 

GEMINI SUN/RISING – Your best friend Libra will encourage you to develop a better relationship with yourself. Let Libra season help you brainstorm all the ways you can make the best out of your situation. Then use your new found clarity to manifest a better future.

CANCER SUN/RISING – The way you deal with conflict will define your character. Libra season will encourage you to take a step back and pause before you act. You need this in order to properly understand why you feel the way you do. From there, you can either accept fault or tell others how they hurt you. 

LEO SUN/RISING – If you don’t like your environment, fix it. You have the answers and you’re the only one who can encourage others to do better. Use your leadership skills to create something glorious. Everyone else will follow suit.

VIRGO SUN/RISING – Insecurity is lying to your face. You’re all that you need in order to feel good about yourself. Don’t let the opinions of others and what is socially acceptable pit you against yourself. Cherish the light you bestow onto others.

LIBRA SUN/RISING – It is your time to shine. While Libra season won’t be easy, put your best foot forward by dropping the “fake it ’til you make it” attitude. That might fly next Libra season, but for now, take accountability for your actions. When conflict arises, tell the whole truth, admit when you’re wrong and embrace imperfection. Only then will others be able to see the real you for better or worse.

SCORPIO SUN/RISING – Your inner demons will continue to haunt you when you don’t find peace in the fact that they can’t hurt you. Your resilience is why you’re here, so while you may feel burdened by the past, find peace in the present and be hopeful for the future.

SAGITTARIUS SUN/RISING – Libra season is here to help you refine your sense of self. Embrace the growth you’ve made and be critical of the ways you hold yourself back. Be intentional about how you choose to express yourself, and you’ll be able to reach a larger audience. 

CAPRICORN SUN/RISING – Things are not going your way for a reason. You are being forced to embrace flexibility. Your goals are achievable, but you’re in need of a new perspective. Let Libra season help you rethink the ways you can use your gifts in order to make the most out of what you want. 

AQUARIUS SUN/RISING – You’re great at reminding others of their worth. When was the last time you reminded yourself of your worth? You’ve overcome more than most. Take a look at what you’ve been able to achieve, and trust in your ability to make the best out of nothing. You’re supposed to be here. 

PISCES SUN/RISING – You’re more alone than you’d like to admit. Others feel safe when confiding in you; however, you don’t allow yourself the same vulnerability. Libra season is a time to honor your story and confide in the people close to you. You deserve closeness. Quit pushing people away out of fear.
