Welcome to Libra Season. A social Air sign, Libra invites us all to adjust the scales, seeking balance, equality, and justice within the communities we live, work, and socialize within... all the while bringing harmony, beauty, and collaborations to the mix.
Leaving Virgo season, we release our hold on perfectionism and judgements with that Libra energy here to soften the edges, calm our nervous systems, and bridge the gaps that keep us from finding connections in our social systems.
On a personal note, it feels great to return to my astrology gemstone collections again. While I know taking a break a little over a year ago was needed, in hindsight I think a bit of perfectionism has been holding me back on returning to these monthly collections- wanting to get things just right before relaunching.
We can grow stagnant while waiting for everything to be just right, so while this blog will undoubtedly adjust, recalibrate, and balance itself out over the coming months, I'm taking a cue from this change in astro-seasons and relaunching my astrology inspired jewelry collections and accompanying blog even if it's not fully developed and maybe a little rough around the edges- the blog, not the jewelry!! ;)
With that disclosed and out of the way- let's get back to why we're really here- jewelry and the NEW Libra Season Collection!
My collection for Libra Season 2025 features gemstones that embody Libra energies, like Ametrine and Opal; colors that sooth and inspire in soft pinks and blues, and design elements with fringe and tassels to delight this air sign with playful movement. I also chose some gemstone pairings within the collection to honor Libra's quality to center harmonious relationships.
Libra Season: September 22nd to October 21st
Gemstones for Libra Season in this collection: Labradorite, Blue Kyanite, Opal, Sapphire, Ametrine, Moonstone, Tourmaline, Quartz, and Fluorite.
Traditional Birthstones for Libra: Sapphire for September + Opal for October
Moon dates for Libra Season: Full Moon in Aries October 6th
+ New Moon in Libra October 21st
Libra is an Air Element and is symbolized as the Scales.
Labradorite + Blue Kyanite
Both of these gemstones offer the wearer soothing and tranquil energy, allowing one to move away from fear and anxieties to stepping up and into your own magic.
While Labradorite grounds us, offering protection so that we can trust in ourselves and trust the process; Blue Kyanite keeps you cool under the collar while igniting your throat chakra to give you the courage to speak up for justice and equality in your day to day to fully embrace the energy of Libra Season.
This gemstone is one of my favorites for embodying the collaborative energy of Libra, proving that great things can happen when you work together; Ametrine is a naturally occurring form of Quartz that combines the powerful properties within Amethyst and Citrine.
Look to Ametrine when you need a boost to your collaborations, while it guides you to deeper clarity, connection, and acceptance.
Soothing our souls, nurturing our intuitions, and guiding us to connect with our deepest emotions; Moonstone not only shows us how to look within ourselves, but it can also help us get another perspective with others, aiding in a greater empathy for our loved ones and communities.
Moonstone is often known to support women and the feminine spirit, making it an excellent gemstone to give support for mothers, in childbirth or fertility issues, PMS, and can even assist in balancing male and female energies.
While Tourmaline grows in many colors and hues, I felt drawn to pink and green Tourmaline for this collection because of the individual qualities of each color compliment Libra's compassionate and connected energies.
Pink Tourmaline's vibrant hue gently breaks away any negative feelings and asks you to show compassion to yourself as well as others, as Libras can sometimes center others needs over their own just too keep the peace.
Green Tourmaline gives Libra a connection to the Earth, sending support when things feel 'up in the air', inducing an inner calm and feelings of individual wholeness.
This brilliant blue gemstone has adorned royalty throughout history and in some cultures is considered one of the greatest gemstones in the world. Known as a 'wisdom' stone, Sapphire is believed to help increase your concentration and bring clarity; helpful if you find yourself needing to make a big decision.
Sapphire is the traditional birthstone for Libras born in the month of September.
Healing and Harmony come together in Clear Quartz and Rose Quartz; each stone bringing its own powerful energy to Libra Season.
Clear Quartz, the master healer, stands strong on it's own by absorbing energy, regulating it, and then releasing it back out; it's also an incredible companion stone as it boosts the properties of any gemstone it's paired with. An beautiful embodiment of the themes and qualities of Libra ruled people.
Rose Quartz is beaming with love, compassion, and joy for all your friendships; while also reminding us this Libra season that in order to be able to serve our loved ones and communities, we must also love ourselves and be open to receiving support and compassion from others.
If you find yourself struggling for clarity or balance during Libra Season, let Fluorite regulate your energy and assist you in decision making with a healthy dose of mental clarity. Wearing Fluorite can get you thinking creatively, especially in times of uncertainty.
Opal
Some of the core themes surrounding the sign of Libra are balance and harmony, which is something this gemstone loves to amplify.
Pink Opal aids us in letting go of ego-driven actions, inviting us up to be more generous, inclusive, and community focused; as it gives us the sight to see all of humanity. Blue Opal stimulates all levels of communication, offers stability, and helps to bring our your inner confidence; believing in your own abilities and speaking your mind.
Opal is the traditional birthstone for Libras born in the month of October.
