It's Libra Season




WHAT IS LIBRA SEASON? WHEN DOES LIBRA SEASON START?

Cardinal Air Sign (September 23rd-October 22nd)

In the tradition of Western Tropical astrology, Libra Season happens when the Sun takes its annual tour through the Zodiac sign of Libra. This shift happens on September 23rd and is active all the way through to October 22nd. If you were born during this period, then your Sun sign is most likely Libra! The cardinal Air sign of Libra is all about instilling balance and inciting new cutting-edge ideas; Libra is ruled by Venus and is known for being beauteous, graceful, and particularly indulgent. Libras make excellent interior decorators, adept professionals, musicians, sensual diplomats as well as mediators.


Libra is also known for the propensity for being “yes men” at times or having the inclination to avoid conflict. Conflict can be difficult to deal with, but situations that center conflict also puts us in place to make important decisions and make meaningful boundaries apparent. Ultimately to be the most successful version of Libra, the relationships with boundaries and conflict needs to be examined closely.

WHAT IS LIBRA THE ZODIAC SIGN? WHAT DOES LIBRA SEASON MEAN?

The sign of Libra is represented by the Scales and is the seventh sign of the Zodiac. The seventh house has everything to do with how we experience what is contrary to self, or what is also known as the ‘other.’ This house includes significant others, coworkers and bosses, and even open enemies. Libra Suns have a very good grasp of cause and effect, especially when it comes to relationships; so much so that Libra has a tendency to engage in people pleasing to the extreme. Libra is at its best when living in harmony with others, but that is not an excuse to neglect to spend time discerning their needs, even if they might create conflict! Libra is also known for having a hard time making decisions, but certain crystals can help.


Libra Season is when we usher in the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere which marks the last blaze of glory in the year before nature tucks itself in for winter. School is in full swing and we are tasked with navigating new relationships with new peers, and teachers and balancing family and friends. Libra is all about teamwork! A balanced Libra also makes a pretty good CEO or boss because they have mastered the subtle nuances of giving constructive criticism and creating a pleasant work environment. This diplomatic tact can bring out the best qualities in their employees and bring everyone together as a team.

Chiastolite is a rare form of Andalusite that features inclusions of crystals and geometric cross-shaped patterns of graphite. Traditionally Chiastolite was believed to ward off curses. A very protective crystal, this stone deflects harm rather than absorbing it and can help mediate any negativity that Libra may find. Chiastolite is a popular ritual crystal. Chiastolite is also known to be very grounding and resonant with the element of Earth. This extremely calming crystal can help open Libra to the transformational influence of Mother Earth. The rarer gem-grade version which features a more transparent finish has an added brightness and warmth of energy.


GIRASOL This variety of glowy pink Quartz shines from within. This luscious crystal can enhance Libra’s ability to work from their heart so they can shine from within too.

This extra reinforcement helps Libra to find lucidity surrounding their true feelings, so that they may embrace them more fully. This beautiful crystal can connect Libra directly to unconditional love and their own heart and will help to navigate any challenges of the heart that Libra must work through.

Bloodstone AKA Heliotrope or Blood Jasper is a variety of Chalcedony, which is a form of microcrystalline Quartz. The deep velvet of forest green Chalcedony is paired with exuberant flashes of Red Jasper. This empowering stone is iron-rich and resonates with the heart as well as the lower chakras. Our hearts have iron-rich blood pumping through them just as this stone does too; it’s no wonder that this crystal is associated with the Heart Chakra.

Ametrine can help Libra feel at peace through this process by tapping into their intuitive center so that Libra does not have to second guess themselves. A balanced Libra knows that being at peace with yourself is the ultimate way to achieve harmony with others.


AQUAMARINE Aquamarine is the calming sea-colored version of Beryl, a semi-precious stone and the answer to the sign of Libra’s perpetual desire to judge others. Libra is always sitting on the fence post seeking information so that they can make the correct decision, but they can be overly judgemental in this process. Aquamarine has the ability to promote acceptance of others and inspire the realization that every single entity on this planet has the capacity for good, no matter how different they are. This crystal was carried by sailors and thought to protect people from drowning as well as evil spirits. Aquamarine can also aid in relaxation, and meditation, and enhance Libra’s intuition.


BLUE TIGER’S EYE Blue Tiger’s Eye or Hawk’s Eye is yet another glorious member of the Chalcedony family. This smoldering beauty has the capacity to unite extreme opposites which is an amazingly useful tool to a Zodiac sign who craves balance. Libra, though obsessed with cause and effect, is not always acting from a place of balance. Blue Tiger’s Eye can quickly start to pull Libra back into shape and cool them off so that they may better address their current needs and desires, as well as any surrounding controversy. This crystal keeps Libra’s tendency to lash out at others in times of imbalance in check; striking out at others will not improve the situation.


JADE Jade is a beautifully soothing green mineral. Jade is a traditional wedding gift said to promote good fortune, harmony, and a long and successful relationship. Jade is another crystal for Libra that is tuned into the Heart Chakra. Jade is very protective and adept at dispelling harm. This crystal is also a go-to for enhancing physical health as well as calling in spiritual awakening. For a sign like Libra that is so sensual and connected to the heart, a long-term relationship is usually a very high priority for Libra. Whether you are promoting a long-term romance with others or a high-quality relationship with yourself, Jade will be there for you!


PINK TOURMALINE Tourmaline is one of the greatest crystal allies for powerful protection! Its pink counterpart is a mega-powerful crystal companion for boosting self-esteem and encouraging Libra to have confidence. Pink Tourmaline is a magnificent crystal selection for leaders. In a leadership situation, this crystal enables Libra to see the good in everybody, clarify any available options, and can subtly coax the best qualities out of other members of the group. Pink Tourmaline is a crystal of humanity and encourages Libra to see a little of themselves in everybody they meet.


APOPHYLLITE Due to Libra’s tendency to fear criticism or conflict, this can cause some emotional stagnation or repression occur. Apophyllite is a brilliant light-colored crystal that boasts a huge amount of sublime energy for spiritual healing and can help to release these repressed energies and dissolve any worries. Apophyllite is purifying, cleansing, and attuned to healing and has a formidable affinity for the physical body as well. This crystal is a sublime choice for any Libra who feels they need extra protection on their spiritual journey!


PURPLE OPAL This species of Opal was recently discovered in central Mexico in 2011. This alluring gem features tiny opalescent inclusions of Fluorite and Silica. This distant cousin of Opal is ideal for any Libra exploring meditation or wishing to connect with their Spirit Guides and Ancestors.
