Did you ever notice how Libra is the only inanimate object of the entire zodiac? When even the word zodiac itself comes from the Greek word for animal - "zōion." The truth is twofold.
Libra is nestled between Virgo - a sign that represents the time of harvest - and Scorpio - which stands for the beginning of winter preparations and rationing. From this point of view, we see how Libra's need to asses the year correctly and judge the outcomes requires a substantial amount of objectivity. So, having scales as a symbol seems appropriate. The second reason is because of forgetfulness. In the past, Libra was associated with Shamash, the god of justice in the Babylonian mythology that created the zodiac. But with time, the scales took over, and the person, or a god, that holds them was forgotten.
In modern times, the scales represent balance, justice, diplomacy, and beauty. During the time the Sun spends in the sign of Libra, we all collectively become a bit more objective, correctly assessing the situation around us and bringing harmony to the environment.
But there is a catch, if you lean too hard into the objective view of the world, you might lose your sense of individuality, and the balance that makes your assessments truthful and fair. So, don't forget about this most important balance of them all - the balance between the inner world and the environment you are in.
The Colors of the Libra Season
Sun opposition Neptune
Neptune can cloud the Sun's typical clarity in daily matters. But at the same time, it helps the Sun transcend the old image of the Self it created and allows you to change the ego and rise up closer to the higher self. Observe what makes you angry for instance, and you will for sure think of new solutions aligned with higher values.
Venus square Pluto
This is an intense aspect in charge of bringing unsaid and difficult conversations to the surface. Your relationship might be a bit shaken at the beginning of the Libra season, but when navigating this aspect with honesty, the transformation is always for the better. Renewal is also one powerful theme of this aspect, so don't be afraid to revisit things you used to love in relationships, or even in art.
Grand trine between Sun, Uranus, and Pluto
This is a harmonious and uncommon astrological configuration that happens when three planets are all positioned 120 degrees apart from each other. The energy in this setup flows effortlessly, and in combination with this unique blend of planets brings personal innovation with purpose. You might realize what you want to be and what direction you need to take to achieve it. Therefore honor your skills, otherwise, you might forget you are even capable of greatness.
