Blame Libra Season For Your Sudden Urge To Purge The Junk From Life

From Women's Health

If you're feeling the need to get your sh*t together, that might be because Libra season is approaching, my friend.

Yep, Libra season starts on Sept. 23 and stretches through Oct. 22 and, in a nutshell, it marks the point when the sun moves out of Virgo and into Libra. It creates "the desire to have more balance and harmony in your life," says Donna Page, a professional astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology. (Libra's symbol is literally a set of balanced scales!)

“Libra season is a turning point on the zodiac,” adds astrologer and life coach Linda Joyce. The leaves start to fall from the trees around this time, which is symbolic of you shedding whatever masks your truth, Joyce says.

Both Page and Joyce say that all signs are affected by Libra season. Although if you're a Libra (happy birthday, btw!) you'll be REALLY feeling it.

If you've been feeling overloaded with ~stuff~ in your life, now is the time to streamline-it'll ultimately help you find balance and success, says Joyce. “We’re all bogged with friends who are not real friends, events we don’t want to go to, and clothes we don’t want to wear, but we hold on to it all and it keeps us from our truth and a greater success,” she points out. “If you want Libra energy to work in your life, clean out your desk and your closets, and free yourself from becoming encumbered by things you do not use."

Page adds that there are some other events going on during Libra season that might intensify this urge for balance:

• The full moon on the 24th (right at the beginning of Libra season) will highlight the desire for balance; you'll feel a big pull between compromising so everyone is happy and doing what you want for you.

• Venus, the ruler of Libra, is moving in retrograde on the 5th of October-which brings difficulties in relationships that are possessive or controlling to the surface, Page says. You'll really feel the need to do something to have the harmony and fairness in relationships that you deserve.

• The Libra new moon on the 8th of October, says Page, heralds decisions and new starts in those areas in life that you crave balance.

So, take a beat to think about the crap you can ditch in your life-and actually do something about it.
