Libra Season’s Flirty Energy Is Just What We Need Right Now

By the end of organized, grounded Virgo season, you may feel a bit wiped out. The earth energy of Virgo, as represented by the Hermit card in the tarot, always asks you to engage in some introspection. You may have done this in a number of ways, including meditation, creating to-do lists, and cleaning your bedroom of any clutter from the recent stay-at-home period. While this was a necessary time of reflection, the airy, flirtatious nature of Libra season — which begins on Tuesday, September 22, and runs through Thursday, October 22 — is a welcome change. 

Whether you stayed single, went through a break-up, or met someone new, your dating life is likely filled with COVID-19-related question marks. While Virgo, which is a sign focused on health, may have helped you navigate some of these tough conversations about pandemic-related safety, Libra brings a lighter and more romantic nature to your day-to-day routine. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and abundance. While it would be impossible (and irresponsible) to ignore the nature of the times, use Libra season to focus on yourself and feeling your best. Try new makeup looks. Go ahead and dye your hair. Send all the sexts that you want. 

Libra is represented by the scales and is all about balance. Relationships require both give and take.

During Libra season, when we all feel the romantic pull of Venus, you may be ready to level up a courtship or ask someone you've been seeing to be exclusive. Love is in the air, despite the global crises around us, and many of us are ready for a partner to weather the storm with. If you find someone and decide to commit, just remember — Libra is represented by the scales and is all about balance. Relationships require both give and take. 

While there's nothing trivial about wanting a romantic partner, Libra season is about much more than just your love life. Libra also brings social justice to the surface, just in time for the election. After months of living under a pandemic and fighting systemic racism, it's really wearing on all of us. Keep fighting, but remember to lean into Libra's Venusian sensibilities through self-care. Putting yourself first is a radical act, especially for marginalized folks expected to bear the weight of a broken, racist system. 

Libra season reminds us of our expansive power, and the connection between love and social justice. 

Libra season reminds us of our expansive power and the connection between love and social justice. Feeling beautiful is powerful. Your crush isn't a silly fling, but a partner in dismantling the patriarchy. You can, and should, enjoy a lavish love and sex life while living your political truth. In fact, the scales require it. The happier you are, the better you can serve your community, and the satisfaction of political action brings harmony to relationships.
