Libra season is here and Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign
As we welcome the autumn equinox on September 22, the sun in Virgo forms a harmonious trine with Pluto in Capricorn, reminding us of our power. If there is something you have been wanting to do, this day gives you that push to find your courage. (Tatler tip: lean onto your strength and take the necessary, practical steps.)
Moments later, the sun enters the sign of the scale (Libra), marking a moment when day and night find their balance. Reflect on any patterns in your life—how can you consciously invite equilibrium? Remember, “balance” looks different for everyone. For some, it may be learning to give more; for others, it could be the practice of receiving. Spend some time under this equinox to be clear on how you could achieve harmony in life.
On the same day, Venus in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn. Think of it as one of the universe’s final tests to see how much you recognise your inherent power. Resist the urge to revert to old habits; perhaps that is people-pleasing, playing small or betraying your boundaries. With Pluto as our cosmic teacher, she reminds us that stepping out of our comfort zones often involves feelings of discomfort, which essentially means we are growing. As Venus transitions into Scorpio the next day, the transformation continues. This shift invites us to embrace our truth, especially in matters of love, finances and values.
From September 25 to 26, Mercury in Virgo interacts with several outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto), feeding our minds with important insights. Instead of just letting these thoughts pass, try grounding them with aligned actions. When Mercury enters Libra on September 26, you may find it easier to communicate with charm and diplomacy, making the next few weeks a great period for negotiations and important discussions.
