All Things Being Equinox

Your New Lustorascope Is Here!

Step up to the scale(s) because it’s Libra’s turn in the spotlight! Now that the fall equinox is here, we’ll get nearly equal amounts of night and day—of course, Libras wouldn’t have it any other way. Pumpkin spice season is in full swing and astrologically speaking, you might find yourself focusing on the closest relationships in your life. This is not all that surprising since Libras are ruled by Venus, the planet of love. However, this year Libra season will be flavored with not just everyone’s favorite orange gourds, but also an extra spicy Scorpio streak. Mars and Mercury are now entering Scorpio’s neck of the woods and bumping into Pluto as it wraps up its retrograde. Scorpio just so happens to be ruled by Mars and Pluto, so you can expect all of these energies to combine into one big cosmic smoothie and the nutrition facts on the side say you’ll get more than your daily value of energized romantic relationships with a few secret desires rising to the surface. That plus the immune and digestive boosts we’re getting from all the extra pumpkin we’re imbibing doesn’t hurt either. Bottoms up!

Read on to see what Libra season has in store for your sign…

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Partner Up, Aries

Libra is the sign of relationships and Aries will be feeling the full effects when the sun shines into your seventh house this month, the one that’s also dedicated to, you guessed it: relationships. That’s not to say that it’s all romance all the time, “relationship” can be interpreted a lot of ways. It can be your main squeeze, your bestie, your biz partner, or even the bitter rival that you’re casually, no, FLANGRANTLY stalking on Instagram. All of these bonds will have gasoline poured on them for the next few weeks, making for some rip-roaring interpersonal adventures. And we didn’t forget about all the single Aries, that portion of our audience may find themselves meeting a new special someone just in time for a cozy snuggle as sweater weather sets in.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Say “Ahh”, Taurus

You’re entering your health era as the sun lights up your sixth house this month. It’s also the house of routines and responsibility, all that practical stuff that Tauruses are usually too busy locking horns to give any amount of focus time. And yes, that means it’s time to schedule your annual exam, have that weird mole looked at, and address any other questions related to your physical or psychological wellbeing with a medical professional, not just Google or your fave TikTok health influencer. Your body is your temple and this is your time to start cleaning up around the place by embracing healthy food, meditation, and whatever workout you won’t despise before the holiday season starts bleeding you dry like a g-dang vampire (apologies to Olivia Rodrigo).

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Get Lucky, Gemini

Geminis everywhere have something to celebrate, and it's all down to a sun-charged fifth house, AKA the house of fun, good fortune, sex, and creative expression—basically everything we had on our vision board. So say yes to any opportunities that come your way over the next few weeks and take the initiative to make good things happen in your life without the crushing fear of failure that might otherwise define your daily interactions. Clearly, the heat in your romantic life is getting cranked up so high the knob is about to fall off (on the metaphorical thermostat, what did you think we meant?), but single Geminis will also find asking out someone new will be easier than it's ever been, since you’re not gonna get much more irresistible than you are right now. So fill up that social calendar and go for the gold!

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Make Your Move, Cancer

If you find yourself checking out real estate listings online more than usual, there’s a reason for that. Libra season has the sun radiating energy into your fourth house, the one that governs all things domestic—your home, your family, your roots, your very foundation. Basically, we see this unfolding one of a couple different ways: Handy Cancers will have an uncontrollable urge to do-it-themselves and tackle some home improvement projects. Those that can’t make heads nor tails of hammers and nails will instead turn to the aforementioned realty websites to see if the grass is greener at somebody else’s house. Either path will create a more serene backdrop for some heartwarming times spent with the ones you love and maybe even hashing out old beefs for the sake of a more peaceful tomorrow.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Let’s Chat, Leo

Libra season brings an increase in your communication abilities as the sun moves into your third house, the same goes for your mental focus and your community-building skills. It all adds up to a month filled with scintillating social engagement and a clearer state of mind. If you’ve any kind of aspiration to write a book or take up public speaking for a cause you care about, this month would be a fabulous time to take that daydream for a test drive. If those activities aren’t exactly your speed, maybe taking a class or studying a new language might be just the thing to make the most of your cosmic clarity.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Grab That Cash, Virgo

In Libra season, the sun will be radiating its power on your piggy bank, AKA your second house, which means that your finances are getting the spotlight this time around. This doesn’t mean that you’ll magically find a big pile of money this month, no, the spotlight on your piggy bank is revealing that there’s not enough change in there. This month is an opportunity for you to create or amplify alternative avenues for moneymaking. Essentially, it’s time to treat your side hustle with the same amount of respect and care as you do your main hustle. Your main hustle isn’t off the hook either, maybe you can squeeze more cash out of that gig by campaigning for a raise or pursuing some new leads? If all else fails, you could always try to cut down on reckless spending. But hey, gold’s always a good investment, right?

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Meet the New Libra

You say it’s your birthday? Let’s see what the universe has picked out for your gift! The sun is in your sign and it's also illuminating your first house, the house of self. So congrats, this month it is literally all about you! With all eyes pointed in your general direction, you’d better be looking your best. And if your best isn’t good enough, maybe it’s time for a new kind of best by way of a total makeover. Put those birthday gift cards to good use with a selective shopping spree dedicated to the formation of a new you. No more fading into the background—think bold, think sparkly, think unforgettable! This aesthetic glow-up will help nudge you in new directions mentally and set the tone for an explosive year ahead.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Move Forward, Scorpio

Scorpios can expect a particularly satisfying month ahead as the sun lines up with your twelfth house, meaning that there’s going to be an emphasis on dreams, closure, and creative breakthroughs in the weeks to come. It’s time to let go of the petty grievances that have held you back from being happy and truly move on to greener pastures. And while you’re in that greener pasture, you might consider painting a picture of it (or whatever artistic medium suits you best) on account of your amped up creative abilities. You might be one of those people that says, “I can only draw stick figures,” but when was the last time you actually tried to stretch yourself? Leave the stick behind and see what you’re actually capable of creating.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Rest and Reset, Sagittarius

You had a lot of shakeups during Virgo season but now that it’s Libra time, you’ve got an opportunity to rest and get used to the new status quo of your life. And you won’t have to go it alone, either! The sun’s in your eleventh house now which is lighting up your community and collaboration sector. Expect to have frequent group projects and worthwhile partners with which to accomplish them. This is a major upgrade from those school projects where only one person did the work and everyone else collected the easy A. Nope, you’ll actually have caring, talented partners this time out and their energy will inspire your own. But don’t work yourself too hard, you still need the time to refill your spiritual tank, which is good, because Mars is headed your way in Scorpio season, a mucho productive time for you. Get ready!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Workin’ Hard, Capricorn

With your tenth house filled to the brim with the sun’s golden rays, expect an emphasis on your career status in the weeks to come. What are your goals? How do you get from where you are to where you want to be? Not gonna lie, there will be times in the next month when your feelings around your job will be flat out confusing and getting any forward momentum will feel completely impossible. Luckily, Venus will also be gifting your career sector with her presence starting on October 19, which will help lighten your load and maybe even bring some much-appreciated advancement for your career journey. It’s all about who you know, right?

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Take a Trip, Aquarius

Good thing the sun is taking up residence in your ninth house because you could use a subletter right about now. That’s because the ninth house is the one dedicated to travel and exciting new horizons, which means it’s time for you to pack a bag and hit the road! OK, fall might seem like a weird time to get away from it all, but honestly, you could use the change of scenery. And if there’s one thing we know about fall it’s that the scenery is as rich and colorful as it gets. Maybe you’ll take a page out of Linus’ book and find a sincere pumpkin patch. Maybe you’ll immerse yourself in a local culture that helps you to learn something new about yourself. Do whatever you can to escape the rat race and expand your outlook on the world, even if it’s just for a weekend!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Embrace the Strange, Pisces

Open up the windows in your eighth house because here comes the sun! Your eighth house is a bit all over the map, covering things like intimacy, the occult, transformation, joint finances, and inheritance. So if you ever wanted to knock boots, perform a magic ritual, and open a bank account with your partner on the same day, Libra season has got you covered! If we zoom out a little bit and try to see how these things connect on a cosmic scale, you might find that this month is all about embracing the most mysterious aspects of life on earth and also the strange attractors that hold together our closest, most honest relationships. Get down with your weird self!
