The Autumnal Equinox is upon us once again. Fall is in the air and as Libra is an air sign it just seems appropriate. Breathe deeply and smell the odors of fall. The colors are alive during this time allowing us the benefit of their beauty and charm. The crunch of leaves as we walk in the woods, and hopefully you’ll all do this, gets us in touch with more beauty of nature, before relocating to the winter that will soon descend upon us.

Libra is an air sign that is Cardinal in nature. This means that it is action oriented. Action involving and including another … preferably a partner. Libra is Venus ruled and as such, it needs to appreciate beauty, art and culture. They do this through others as they need another to see how they really feel about something.

Libra’s have the innate ability to be able to weigh everything accurately never attempt to impose force without consideration of balance. They rarely act unless conditions are favorable to all concerned. They never attempt to intrude where they have no business. They rarely have prejudices due to their extreme diverse minds.

These detached yet concerned people cannot tolerate disorder, ugliness or untidiness. They also have to match in their attire. Perfection is their ideal. Libra is the second of the perfection signs after Virgo. What a struggle that must be for them. There’s a struggle for nonviolence yet contained in their nature is the iron hand in the velvet glove. They can provoke irritation in others so easily due to their indecision.

The native of this sign is so charming that comes naturally through speaking as well as the written word. Gentle and persuasive they manage to get their own way under the appearance of justice. All is fair in love and war is instinctual to them. They balance the sexes easily due to their dual nature. Being a Cardinal sign brings out the masculine energy, then ruled by Venus is the most feminine allowing them the freedom to express both easily.

Libra’s really prefer one-on-one relationships. They see things in a polarity venue. This is why they are almost never without a partner.

What the Planets are Doing...

The Sun entering the sign of Libra is significant due to the change of seasons inherent within its structure. It brings with it a subtle energy that gets us all ready for the continuation of the Sun’s further lessening of its light upon Earth.

The Harvest Moon on September 26th will shine for all of us to benefit from its light. It often appears golden as a perfect reflection of the Solar energy shining upon the Moons surface.

Mercury moves into Scorpio on September 27th. Get ready for some in depth thinking. Discernment can reach an all time high.

September 28th Mars enters Cancer. This will help us catch up with ourselves with all this changing energy shifts. Mars here tends to hold in his anger a bit so watch out for the explosions that can happen. This Martian energy needs an outlet so be patient with yourselves and vent in a appropriate manner.

On October 7th Venus begins her journey through Virgo. Don’t get too picky now.

The New Moon is on October 10th. Don’t forget to write your goals. The same night in the heavens, we can observe the Draconids meteor showers.

October 11th Mercury stations and begins its apparent retrograde motion. The cycle really begins on September 21st and ends on November 17th. It reenters Libra on October 23rd, the day the Sun moves into Scorpio.What a month. Many changes in the heavens … aren’t we lucky?

With the recent bridge collapse in the twin cities, another partial bridge break down in California, the news stated our infrastructure is breaking down. A thought occurred to me … this is just a reflection of the situation we have here in America. It is not only our physical infrastructure, but our mental, emotional, and spiritual infrastructure. All of them are debilitated and in need of repair. We all need to pray for our leaders, especially the Govenors and local authorities, to assist them in finding the support for the necessary work to be completed. These events have brought to our awareness the debilitating nature that has encompassed our country. Changing the consciousness of all of us is the goal we need to be aware of during this time. We need to see the bigger picture and realize what exactly is happening to our beloved country.

Blessings and Love to all.
