Libra Season Reading:
Overall:
Libra season brings the themes of security, stability, and happiness without putting value on materialistic things that you think will bring joy and fulfillment. What’s going to bring in these themes is the expression of love and leading your life with grace.
Week 1:
I pulled the Hermit card in reverse, so Libra season starts off with the energy of wanting to get out of a rut that many were in during Virgo season. I sense the collective wanting to get out more, let their hair down, and have fun with this new profound enlightenment that they've learned while staying within their own bubble during Virgo Season. Virgo placements might feel this energy the most this week considering the Hermit represents Virgos.
If you set intentions during the New Moon in Aries we had earlier this year in March then you may see those thoughts come up during a time of reflection this week as well since it will be a Super Full Moon in Aries on Friday the 29th. This lunar energy gives us a moment to slow down and notice the story we have been creating since then. This energy may also help us be more attuned to the present moment and help the collective release anything that may be stopping you from completely enjoying this experience that you are trying to manifest at this time. This card is a reminder that space is needed but to also not let go of any connections at this time that hold deep meaning to you.
Week 2:
I pulled the Moon card in reverse, the collective will feel their fears, doubts, and anger come up this week due to the stress life brings but that's okay! It's important this week to welcome these hard feelings with love and care. To repress these uncomfortable feelings will only lead to more self-limiting beliefs. This week is also the first week of October meaning that many will be experiencing magic in their life that they haven't seen before and because the veil thins out during this time of the month the collective may notice more 'coincidences' in their life as well.
So if you feel as if something is happening to you this week on purpose, receiving intuitive messages, prophetic dreams, or psychic downloads, it's most likely the universe trying to tell you something. Trust your gut, and your natural instincts this week, listening to other opinions might bring different messages so it's important to listen to your own inner voice. Trust that you know what's best for you in this lifetime. Cancer placements might feel this energy the most, especially when the moon goes into Cancer on Friday the 6th during the Last Quarter Moon.
Week 3:
I pulled the Page of Swords in reverse, the energy this week feels loud and intense, especially with the Solar Eclipse New Moon in Libra. With this card representing this week, it's important to speak up about what it is that you really want to bring into your life even if all odds are against you. By this time there will be only 11 weeks left of the year. The question to ask is how you want to spend them. What would you like to accomplish for the rest of the year? Speak it loud into existence. But be mindful of making promises that you can't keep or might regret later on, it's important that if you make any commitments that you can uphold with integrity, your reputation might depend on it.
To have integrity, we must recognize that our choices bring consequences. The same goes with others making commitments to you, if something feels fast and hasty, make sure that you're thinking twice before tackling more than one thing at a time, a reminder that directed energy causes change. Take your time this week as Eclipse energy can be quite intense so be conscious of how you present yourself to others this week especially if you're navigating through internal and external upheaval going on in your life. Air sign placements might feel this energy the most this week.
Week 4 (Final Week):
I pulled the Queen of Wands in reverse, this week is all about reestablishing your sense of self. Life is hard enough so it’s okay to go easy on yourself. This week the collective will try to regain their footing, especially after an intense New Moon Solar Eclipse. Many will be trying new things and trying to heal any trauma they may have been experiencing throughout the year that they need to work on. The Universe asks that you show up in ways that reflect who you really are.
You know yourself on a deep level and you're clear on your personal truth and belief systems. Everyone has a different definition of success. Protect this power by standing in it. Honor your needs and feelings this week and don’t push yourself to be someone you know you're not. The message for the end of Libra season is to discover who you really are and be courageous in expressing "You" in everything that you put your energy into. Fire Sign placements might be feeling this energy the most this week, especially during the middle of the week when the Moon goes into Sagittarius.
I hope you enjoy this reading, take what resonates, and leave what doesn't. Happy Libra Season!
Suggested Movie Based on Reading: Girls Trip
Just like the women in Girls Trip, this Libra season will force us out of our everyday routine that we got used to during Virgo season. Libra season is telling us to let our hair down and get wild. Keep in mind though, that getting out of your routine will give you growing pains. Those growing pains, if treated properly, will bring us closer to the person we’re meant to be.
Libra Traits: Charming, Diplomatic, Idealistic
Charming:
Gilmore Girls, A Simple Favor, & The Holiday
One of the first things you will notice about Libra placements is their infectious charm. Just like the shows/movies mentioned Libras have a way about them that makes it difficult to deny them anything they want. This can be a good and a bad thing as that charm can be dangerous to both Libras and those around them (A Simple Favor is a great example of this). Libras need to make sure that they reserve that charm for those who deserve it as not everyone does.
Diplomatic:
The Princess Diaries, Princess Protection Program, & Roman Holiday
If you are lucky enough to get past that initial charm and go below the surface level of a Libra you will learn they are quite diplomatic. Libras have an incredibly strong sense of justice. They want to make sure everyone is treated fairly especially within their friend groups. This makes them great at socializing and being the judge of their friend groups. And of course, just like the movies listed, they do so with flair.
Idealistic:
Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Gossip Girl, & Emily in Paris
If there is anyone that is going to look on the bright side it’s a Libra. Libra placements see the best in people and situations. Just like the shows/movies listed, Libras have an ideal life they are manifesting at all times and they have complete faith that they will get that life. Libras would do well, however, to occasionally (don’t get mad at me!) see people and situations for what they actually are and not what they want them to be. By adding a touch of realism to their idealist mindset Libras will get the life they desire with less turmoil.
Libra Creatives:
Michaela Coel: Born October 1st Michaela Coel has an incredibly enviable filmography. She gained mainstream success for creating and starring in the sitcom Chewing Gum. Since Chewing Gum, she has been in many noteworthy projects including I May Destroy You, Black Mirror, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to name a few.
Julie Andrews: Born October 1st Julie Andrews needs no introductions but I can attempt. She’s an icon, mother to many, and the former Queen of Genovia. In her incredible career that spans over seven decades, she has had many iconic roles including her roles in Mary Poppins (literally as Mary Poppins), The Sound of Music, and (a personal favorite of mine) The Princess Diaries.
Tessa Thompson: Born October 3rd Tessa Thompson has been a force to be reckoned with since 2009. She has held many iconic roles that inspire many but especially the queer community as she never shies away from her own queerness. Some of these iconic roles include her roles in For Colored Girls, Dear White People, Thor Ragnorak, and Passing to name a few.
