If you adore autumn, spooky season, being cozy with your nearest and dearest and celebrating all things pumpkin spice, you’re in good company — and you’re in luck, because it’s finally that time of year. Libra season, which begins at the fall equinox, is here. The time during which the sun moves through the cardinal air sign goes hand-in-hand with awe-inspiring foliage, that crisp air that’s perfect for snuggling up in your favorite sweater and the Libran desire to infuse life with more one-on-one bonding time, diplomacy and balance.
The seventh sign of the zodiac is ruled by Venus, the planet of romance, beauty, values, earning and pleasure, so prepare for a greater focus on these themes throughout Libra season. You could find you’re more inclined to prioritize partnership and meet-ups with your social circle as well as mediations, negotiations and the pursuit of more balance and fairness. (After all, Libra is symbolized by the Scales of Justice.)
Here, all you need to know about Libra season 2025 so you can make the most of it.
When is Libra season?
Every year, you can trust that Libra season will span approximately September 22-23 to October 22-23. In 2025, the season of the Scales is in effect from September 22 to October 22
What to expect during Libra season
When the sun moves through Libra, your attention turns to ways you can invite in more peace, balance, beauty and pairing up into your life. People who are born under the sign of the Scales (or who have other major personal placements, like their moon, rising or Venus in Libra) bend over backwards to avoid conflict, bolster harmony, excel at mediation and give equal weight to both sides of any given issue.
The peace-loving, imbalance-fighting air sign is eager to apply their penchant for infusing spaces and situations with more beauty, style and aesthetic appeal, whether they’re helping you with an interior design project or planning a memorable party. This vibe also lends itself to spending more time decorating your home or perfecting your beauty routine.
Libra is also the cardinal sign of the air group, which means they can innately take the initiative and tend to be visionary thinkers. For that reason, you could find that during Libra season, you’re especially motivated to dream up and launch big picture projects now.
In 2025, Libra season will usher in and support you as you manage dramatic change
The second eclipse season of 2025 is in full swing as Libra season kicks off, with the solar eclipse and new moon in Virgo falling the day before the sun enters the sign of the Scales. For the duration of Libra season, you could be feeling the effects of this game-changing lunar event, which can serve to fast-forward your life into a whole new era. Shifts that have been building for months can lead to rapid transformations and epiphanies. In the midst of what could feel like pure hectic chaos at times, Libran energy can help you lean on a dear friend, loved one or partner for support and look for innovative ways to infuse your days with more balance and peacefulness.
Libra season 2025 can deliver excitement and breakthroughs to your bonds
Libra season can feel even more harmonious than usual this year, thanks to the sun — and, as of October 13, Venus — in Libra, and two outer planets in fellow air signs (Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius). In turn, you can access more thrilling moments within your relationships as well as opportunities to strengthen and deepen your connections. Wednesday, September 24 and Tuesday, October 14 could be especially useful opportunities for this. And one of the sweetest days for romance falls on Monday, October 11 when Venus in Virgo forms a friendly sextile to lucky Jupiter in Cancer.
Here, how Libra season 2025 will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)
Aries
You’ve been putting your nose to the grindstone to manage everyday to-dos more than usual, but now, as the sun moves through your partnership zone, you’ll feel more supported, especially within your one-on-one bonds. This time of year also supports your ability to reflect on how you’ve been showing up within your one-on-one bonds — and how others have been showing up for you. If there’s an aspiration you and a significant other, loved one or dear friend are eager to move forward on, you can more readily get in sync. Look to October 21 new moon as a particularly advantageous moment for setting up a winning game plan.
