Sun Enters Libra with Ruling Venus square Pluto
Equinox on September 22 at 5:44am PDT/8:44am EDT/1:44pm GMT/10:44pm AEST
Happy Equinox, Friends,
The sunlight has a unique cast as the Sun enters Libra and initiates a new season.
The Sun in Libra, represented by the scales, begins a month of finding balance by shining its light on the equator and creating equal day and night around the globe.
You're finding how to find your center amid opposites.
As the first cardinal air sign, Libra strengthens your mental analysis while softening and allowing balance within and all you relate to.
Libra is here to help you dance with independence, connection, and opposition.
Venus-ruled Libra emerges from the discernment of Virgo with energy for you to take effective action for the highest good of all.
Time to yourself and relationships that center you are especially important now, as everyone may feel uncomfortable with what's going on.
Ruling Venus is in her dignity in Libra for a few more hours as the Sun enters Libra.
There's a shift in the air as Venus in Libra confronts Pluto in the final degree of Capricorn with a challenging square — just before Venus enters Pluto's sign of Scorpio until October 17.
Venus in Libra offers love. Pluto in Capricorn confirms hard truths about the structure of power in the world.
Pluto brings out your inner power with experiences that give strength and self-understanding.
Pluto also shows how forces in the world pretend to be powerful and manipulate people with fear for gain and control.
You're feeling the collective human karma -- and all you can do is control your own.
This is the theme of this new season as you raise your mind above conflict and find peace amid the storm.
You have a 180º perspective from when you began the zodiac year with the Sun in Aries with the north node total solar eclipse in Aries, building your courage and initiative.
The south node Libra Solar Eclipse on October 2 offers a release from dysfunctional relationship patterns. Take the changes that arise. This is not the time to hold on to anything that creates harm.
Continuing with the astrological associations with the Tarot, here's how Libra shows up in your Tarot spreads.
Libra is the third of the four cardinal signs. The suit of swords symbolizes the air element signs of Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini, reflecting mental activity.
All the cardinal signs (Libra, Capricorn, Aries, and Cancer) are symbolized by the 2 - 3 - 4 in each of the four suits.
After the purification of Virgo, symbolized by the Hermit, Justice is the major arcana card for Libra, a symbol of fairness, truth, cause and effect, and the law.
Libra Justice advises you to take responsibility for your actions and make decisions considering your impact on self and others.
What decisions will you be making this Libra season?
Here are the correspondences for the minor arcana during the 30º of Libra:
The First Decanate, 0º - 9º Cancer, occurs between September 22 and October 1, 2024, and corresponds with the 2 of Swords, indicating some indecision about choices you need to make.
The Second Decanate, 10º - 19º Cancer, is between October 2 and October 12, 2024, and corresponds with the 3 of Swords, indicating sadness and pain from real or perceived tragedy.
The Third Decanate, 20º - 29º Cancer, is between October 13 and October 22, 2024, and corresponds with the 4 of Swords, indicating a time to rest or retreat from the world for inner understanding.
These three cards share the challenges your mind may be navigating during Libra season.
Over this Libra season, observe your relationships, let go of people or patterns that make you sad, and reflect on what supports your happiness and peace. This is how you strengthen your inner power.

Dancing with opposites stood out to me. Trying to bring in more money with my businesses and feeling a little stressed with "lack" - Feel this in my hands and I can get what i want in a way that I want to get it. Thank you always Alyssa for your insights and support x
