Elements of Balance - Embodied Astrology for Libra Season - September 23 - October 23, 2019

Happy equinox everyone. Welcome to Libra Season!
The word equinox is derived from the Latin aequinoctium, from aequus (equal) and nox (night). An equinox is commonly regarded as the moment when the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun. This event occurs twice each year around the beginning of the third weeks of September (beginning of Libra season) and March (beginning of Aries season). On the day of an equinox, daytime and nighttime are 12 hours each, all over the world.
Being the beginning of seasons, these signs all represent initiatory energy. They set into motion the needs of their respective elements. The air element speaks to our mental, informational and conceptual capacities. Libra, as Cardinal Air, initiates exchange and relationship between individuals. It describes one of the most basic needs of any functional society, which is the ability for individuals to collaborate with and assist each other.
As we learn and grow through Libra, we navigate the balance of our needs for freedom and autonomy as individuals, with the needs we have to create and maintain functional relationships. Libra teaches us to mediate and compromise, and to consider the possible impact of our choices and actions on others before making them. Libra’s symbol, the scales, reminds us that fairness, equality and accountability are the foundations for harmonious relationship–if they are absent, disturbance will build quickly and our connections will polarize into distance and argument.
When Libra manifests consciously, it awakens us to the enlightening and liberatory qualities of relationship. We develop and master our personality traits through testing them with one another. We cultivate the poise that allows us to graciously concede and make way for others while still holding our heads high and taking pride in our efforts. We learn that through collaboration, our individual potentials can not only be achieved but also exceeded.
When Libra manifests as an awakening influence, we learn to not fear conflict or disagreement, but to see them as opportunities for gaining a better understanding of ourselves and those we relate with. As our understanding of relational dynamics and needs expands – and as we gain skills for mediation, process and true collaboration – we become peace-makers and harmonizers in the world. Libra’s highest vibration manifests as a sense of deep respect and care for others and their differences, and the ability to be personally accountable to one’s own behavior and impact within relationship.
