Libra season is the second most important turning point of the year. Libra season begins on September 23, the autumn equinox, and lasts until October 22. Just like the spring equinox, the days and nights are of equal length again. However, instead of the days getting longer, they get shorter and darkness reigns… (at least in the Northern Hemisphere).
So we will be more introspective, looking back over this year, what we have achieved, what we have lost, and perhaps re-evaluating relationships. Of course, Libra represents balance because it is the “other half” sign and contains the vernal equinox.
Libra Season meaning
Libra season gives you the opportunity to embrace both the light and the dark in your life. It’s also an ideal time to do some shadow work. At the same time, you don’t want to get too brooding. After working hard during Virgo season, it’s time for some old-fashioned Libra pampering. You can also kick back and enjoy socializing.
With time on our hands after the past few tough work weeks, our thoughts may turn to romance. If we’re single, we’ll be longing for a partner, our other half. Libra season is not a time to be too independent, as our desire to connect with others will be stronger than usual. It’s easy to relax and indulge if you have company; if not, boredom will tempt you to get back on the Virgo season treadmill.

So how did our ancestors celebrate the Autumn Equinox? The Celtic pagan festival held at this time of year is called Mabon, after the Welsh god Mabon, the son of the earth goddess Modron, another prototype of Christ.
In Christianity, the autumn equinox symbolizes the death and crucifixion of the Sun King. The sun’s power weakens and the sap returns to the roots. The leaves turn fiery red or golden orange due to the loss of moisture. Now we prepare for winter, when some of us go into seclusion (until we go outside for Christmas celebrations). But wait, of course we’re not going to shut ourselves up right away. We have to party before we shut ourselves up in our cocoons.
