We are now in the heart of Libra season and Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign
We are now in the heart of Libra season, highlighting profound transformations in our relationships. On September 30, the meeting of the sun, Mercury and the south node in Libra gives us glimpses of clarity, especially about our past. Old memories may resurface to offer us new insights and realisations. This is an ideal time for self-reflection, so take time to journal before bed or share your thoughts with a close friend.
With the Libra solar eclipse on October 3, we are asked to release old relational dynamics that no longer serve us—think of it as a cosmic reset where powerful endings clear the path for fresh beginnings. With the south node’s influence under this new moon, Libra’s shadows are brought to light—think leaky boundaries, people-pleasing tendencies, indecisiveness and unhealthy comparisons. Confronting these patterns may feel uncomfortable, but they are all essential for our growth. Remember, Libra is also the charming diplomat of the zodiac, meaning we can harness her gifts to communicate skilfully and navigate challenges through healthy collaborations.
Adding to this week’s transformative energy is the “Water Grand Trine”, where Mars, Venus and Saturn transit in the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), forming a harmonious flow between them. This aspect has the potential to assist us spiritually, by helping us trust our intuition, our emotions and the timing of our lives more.
Overall, this is a potent time for cultivating relationships that truly resonate with our authentic selves. The sign of the scale is actively helping us to rebalance our energy. Through this process, certain relationships may need to fall away or change forms for more aligned connections to enter. Ultimately, we are being guided to return to our wholeness and empowerment.
