We are crossing the boundary into the time of pumpkin spice, apple picking, sweatah weathah, and, sorry about this, beach people, but it’s my turn now: these are a few of my favorite things.
Maybe I’m partial to Libra season because, like Aquarius, Libra is an air sign. There’s a real sense of balance at this time of year. You can feel it in the weather with these warm days and cool evenings. The world would be far less chaotic with a little more Libra energy. It might make us less decisive, sure, but maybe that wouldn’t be so bad.
Libra has a clever, diplomatic, and fair nature, which makes those born under the sign very likable. There’s an ease in communicating with them, and it gives them the ability to win most anyone over. If you have a close Libra friend in your life, you’re lucky. If this is sounding like a love letter to Libra, well that’s because it is.
Let’s celebrate the Libras in our lives. They thrive on being appreciated, so tell the ones you know how much you love them. Just make sure you mean it, because they’ll know if what you’re saying doesn’t add up. At the least, consider practicing some Libra-inspired diplomacy this week.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
You can be quite temperamental when things aren’t going your way. If that’s happening now, maybe sit this one out and relax a bit this week.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
For you, affection has to come in just the right doses: too much and you shut down; too little and you’re a crybaby. Try to help by at least being honest about your needs.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Your nuanced way of giving criticism will come in handy this week. Speak your mind, but do it without saying everything you’re thinking.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Keeping your tendency to react in check for a while will do wonders for your social and professional lives. Remember that not everything deserves a response.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
For you, happiness depends on a healthy balance between your love life and your social life. Maybe one person can’t fulfill all your needs.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Your ability to quickly assess a situation is a superpower, and you’ll find it working overtime this week. Be careful not to take on too many unnecessary tasks.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Libra, it’s your month. This should be an easy time for you, full of celebration, laughs, and good company. Happy Birthday!
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Are you running out of steam? Give yourself a little break from taking over the world. It’ll still be there when you’re feeling more motivated.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Strategizing on the right moves to make can be more important than making the moves. We all know you’re the shoot first type, but this week, take aim.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Problem solving is easier when you can see things from multiple angles. Get some perspective on the situation.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You’re always looking for the shortest path no matter what. It’s OK to take the paved road sometimes; not everything needs to be a trailblazing adventure.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
You are a mastermind at playing the fool to get what you want. But sometimes you have to own your wisdom. It was hard-earned for a reason.
