Clarity Before Confrontation: Libra Season Forecast
Libra is the 7th sign of the zodiac, the place where we officially arrive beyond the development of self ready to attend to others. With its ties to the 7th House Libra is often reduced to its connection to relationships, courtship, and romantic partnership. Ruled by Venus, its associations with love and beauty are certainly compounded. But Libra is an air sign, highly intellectual and conceptually oriented. It’s a study of aesthetics, the ideal of love, with little room for the messy reality. Given the sign’s stellar configuration, though, Libra’s ties to romance feel like another exaggeration of modern astrology. The Sign of the Scales is the sign of Justice.
We enter the Libran courtroom on September 22nd and interrogations are already under way. Mercury in its retrograde shadow sets its sights on Kingpin Pluto, the last of 2020’s Capricorn Cabal standing. In Libra, Mercury remains diplomatic but suffers no lies. The final retrograde of 2020 ended at 25 degrees of Libra, the exact degree at which this season’s begins: this retrograde seeks answers for the last 10 months, and no one is exempt from the process of justice. With Libra’s ruler still in her underworld exile, the shadows aren’t quite as viable a hiding spot as they once were — her opposition to revolutionary Uranus insists on change.
