Libra Season
Libra is a cardinal air sign ruled by the planet Venus. It inspires peace, loving relationships, a love of arts and a strong sense of aesthetics. Libra helps the nervous system maintain equilibrium. It seeks harmony and can see the beauty in polarity and paradox.

At the heart of Libra is love. The cultivation of loving relationships and soulful friendships are Libra’s domain. Furthermore, loving energy soothes the soul and helps restore balance. Libra energy calls individuals to take a deep breath and move into love. Embodying this loving energy can create synchronistic experiences that attract soul friends and lovers. On an intimate level, Libra stimulates a desire for long-term committed relationships. In traditional terms, it is the idea of marriage and relationships built on equality, values, love, trust and an ever-evolving healing union.

To activate Libra energy, relax and enjoy artistic outlets. Listen to music. Dance like no one is watching. Look at a beautiful sunset or a painting and let the beauty of the image inspire the relaxation response. Enjoy a loving experience with a close friend.
