Make Love, Not War: Libra Season ~ The Embodied Energetics Forecast

Starting September 22nd, 2022, the Sun will move into the cardinal air sign Libra signaling a chain of events that lead to many transitions in the upcoming month. On the same day, we can celebrate the Fall Equinox which helps to remind us that the sun shines on both the Northern and Southern hemispheres equally, providing the same amount of yang energy to both sides of the Earth.

To understand the themes of this month and how each one of us may experience it, let’s take a look at the archetypes that come alive during the Libra season.

According to Steven Forrest and evolutionary astrology, the sign Libra represents the archetype of the Lover, the Artist, the Diplomat, the Counselor, and the Friend.

First, it is necessary to look at where Libra lives in our chart and which house that it resides in. This will share how and where these archetypes will show up in your life. For example, if you have the sign Libra in the 3rd house, this may indicate that the archetype of the Artist, who is creative and inspired, maybe more present in your life in the realm of communication, networking, local groups, school, and siblings.

During the period of the Mercury retrograde, it is important to reflect on the relationships that do serve us and the ones that do not, especially in the houses or realms of life where Libra and Virgo live. So, in the last example, if we have Libra in the 3rd house, this could be a great time to review, reflect, and re-evaluate the relationships and the style of communication within our local environment.

As we move out of Mercury retrograde, this is followed by more energetic shifts with Pluto and Saturn moving direct in their signs. As these signs are moving direct, this could cause awakenings in how people view and live their life. Personally, in my experience, I’ve been experiencing transformation in the way I am, think, and live (Pluto in Capricorn) and what I commit to, and how that contributes to my purpose and the bigger purpose (Saturn in Aquarius). These retrogrades have been a way to set up the path for living more authentically to who we are, what we are meant to do, and how this can come to be. Learning to trust that process and adjust to it are the hardest parts.

This leads us to the Full Moon in Aries happening on Sunday, October 9th. I believe in order to understand the archetype of Libra in its full capacity, one must look at the archetypes that exist for its opposite sign, Aries. The archetypes that can be played out by the energy of Aries are the Warrior, the Survivor, the Daredevil, the Pioneer, and the Hero. This can stimulate the questions of:

How do I fulfill my everyday duties to my life, work, and relationships? Does it feel nourishing, considerate, and diplomatic? Or does it feel swift, calculated, pinpointed, and forceful?

What behavior benefits my well-being and others? What behaviors feel ruthless, inconsiderate, or ignorant?

The Full Moon is meant to illuminate all parts of our inner self — the physical, the emotional, the shadow self, the inner child, the true authentic Self. It is often the best time to set intentions to release something that does not serve and to re-align to what does.

Overall, there is major potential in this month to step into the honest conversation, improve relationships, and re-align our WHY.
