Libra season begins on Sept 22nd and runs through October 22nd.

It is the halfway point in the year and a time many in the Northern hemisphere harvest the fruits of Summer- taking stock of what you've accomplished or created and even giving yourself a reward for a project well done, go ahead- splurge a little!


Relationships are represented under Libra season, and with their ability to see things from all points of view to bring balance and harmony, this is a wonderful time to spend time with our friends and partners. This air sign helps us make the connection with our loved ones, Libras are great listeners with a calming energy that allows us to speak openly and truthfully. You can even take this energy with you into the workplace by practicing patience with your coworkers and bringing compassion into collaborations. Teamwork really brings the magic together during Libra season!

*Don't forget that we're still experiencing Mercury Retrograde until October 2nd (and the post shadow for a week+ afterwards), so make sure you're still being clear with your words and needs. The right gemstone jewelry can help you stay focused and intentional with your communication.


Libra season is the perfect time to explore what makes you feel the most empowered, speak your truth, and maintain your peace of mind.
