What the season is about

Libra season begins at the September equinox, when day and night are close to equal everywhere on Earth. It is a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus.

It is a month for relationships and fairness. Partnerships, agreements and shared decisions come forward, and beauty matters more than usual.

The risk is putting off decisions to keep everyone happy. Choose, and choose kindly.

Questions, answered

When does Libra season start?

The Sun enters Libra on September 23, 2027, 06:01 UTC and leaves on October 23, 2027, 15:32 UTC, about 30 days later. The page shows both moments in your own time zone.

Why do the Libra dates change from year to year?

The usual Libra dates are an average. The calendar year is not a whole number of days long, so the moment the Sun crosses into Libra drifts by some hours each year and can land on a neighbouring date, depending on your time zone as well.

What if I was born on the first or last day of Libra season?

Your Sun sign depends on the exact moment of your birth, not on the average dates. A birth chart with your birth time settles it.

What does “Reading confidence 40%” mean?

It says how specific a reading is. A line written for a Sun sign alone, with no date or birth time, carries 40%. It is not the chance that something happens.
