Libra season begins on September 23 and has everyone reviewing their closest inner circle, romantic and family ties. The season raises questions about who is truly on our side, whether we are on theirs, and who shows up when needed. It also prompts reflection on whether we are the best parent, friend, partner or colleague we could be, and whether our relationships feel balanced or fall into unhealthy dynamics.
Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, money, pleasure and indulgence. These themes play out and distort many relationship chemistries, and the underlying issues may be a 'Venus thing'. Libra is a skilled diplomat, negotiator, charming flirt and great analyst. Libran relationships often look effortless and positive, but the adjustments and work happening behind the scenes are not always visible.
Aries to Cancer: Rebellion, Admirers, Nurturing and Adventure
For Aries (March 21 to April 20), the tarot cards are The Hierophant and The Moon. The theme is rebellion, but not without a cause. Preparation is needed before flipping the tables, or frustration will persist. Doing homework, understanding the reasons for pushing back, lining up rational arguments and appreciating emotional drivers are advised. Considering the other person's perspective and the ideal outcome can help shift the balance, as the dynamic has been outgrown.
Taurus (April 21 to May 21) draws the Three of Coins and Temperance. The Three of Coins signals admirers, often secret ones, who respect and like you but watch shyly. This chemistry may have been overlooked, and it could be positive. Temperance asks for presence, visibility and consistency so the person feels confident enough to make a proposal, pitch or offer. It might be romantic, a friendship, or a work or collaboration invite, and could be good news. Noticing the 'quiet ones' and giving them time is recommended.
Gemini (May 22 to June 21) receives the Queen of Cups and Knight of Coins. Time, energy, effort and hard work should go into the closest female relationship that is treasured. Being vulnerable, honest, kind and creative, and telling them what is really going on, is key. When fully present, Gemini is most people's favourite company, but switching off, cancelling last minute or rushing through can lose people. It is not what is done, but what is omitted, so putting effort into being fully present can restore what was fading.
Cancer (June 22 to July 23) draws the Queen of Wands and The Star. The advice is to use the most adventurous, fun friend, lover or acquaintance for an amazing escapade or journey of discovery. Getting out, being brave and zooming to another level in the alliance is encouraged. The Cancer has the great idea, and the other person has the connections or know-how to make it real. The Star blesses the alliance with joy, success and excitement, and joining forces can go further faster than thought possible.
Leo to Scorpio: Overcommitment, Trust, New Love and Change
Leo (July 24 to August 23) gets the Two of Wands and Five of Coins. Being in demand can lead to being overbooked and overcommitted. The Two of Wands suggests a love triangle, three's a crowd, or a conflict of interests where hedging bets and keeping everyone friendly is attempted. People need to see commitment to one side or the other. The Five of Coins asks what is most valued, what could not be borne to lose, and what matters deeply for the long run. Focusing on that and showing commitment is advised.
Virgo (August 24 to September 23) draws the King of Coins and Six of Wands. The King of Coins relates to a masculine, older, senior, possibly paternal or boss-like figure, someone to work for or with or take instruction from. This person has been a good influence, taught a lot, and the relationship has warmed over time with a lot of trust. The Six of Wands asks to relax, take down barriers of formality or politeness, and be yourself. Enough rapport has been built for the bond to move to a more social, friendly, authentic chemistry.
Libra (September 24 to October 23) receives the Ace of Cups and Two of Coins. Love is blossoming and igniting, with the Ace revealing a new relationship, potential pregnancy, or even a new pet. There is a great deal of affection, trust and hope in this bond. However, the Two of Coins reminds not to put all eggs in one basket. No single person can fulfil every need, and other relationships must be maintained despite the urge to deep dive with new love. That would not be sustainable and could set a hard-to-backtrack precedent or pressure things too early.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 22) draws the Page of Coins and Death. Pages can point to children, younger friends or family, students or apprentices, possibly someone who works for you. This person is earnest, hardworking and ambitious, perhaps an apprentice to a master role. That dynamic can be tricky to manage long-term because the apprentice always overtakes the master. Death shows the bond is changing dramatically between now and November, with tables turning and the bond breaking and reforming in a new shape. Being ready and looking ahead to what could be is advised.
Sagittarius to Pisces: Communication, Perspective, Alliances and Trust
Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21) gets the Nine of Cups and Eight of Wands. The Nine represents a favourite person, one with the most hopes hanging on them, possibly a partner, housemate, ally, colleague, co-founder or best friend making a life dream come true. Communication and opening the floor to other opinions and ideas is needed. Things have been intense but strangely quiet, with tension and little communication or progress on key issues. Researching options, finding new ideas, discussing them fully, and falling back in love with what is being done can get things back on track.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 21) draws The Hermit and The Hanged Man. A key relationship has become stuck and frustrated, needing progress, movement and traction. Things have stalled, possibly due to being ignored, not saying what must be aired, or feeling someone pulling away. The Hermit points to a quiet, conscientious, wise person, maybe a Virgo. The Hanged Man asks to put yourself in their shoes and truly flip perspective to see things from their position. This will unlock a major secret or suppressed insight into the source of the problem, which can then be discussed and resolved to move forward.
Aquarius (January 22 to February 19) receives the Seven of Wands and Seven of Coins. This combination suggests a rival turning into an ally, or the enemy of your enemy becoming your friend. An unholy alliance born of competition but sealed by long-term shared experience and understanding. These can be the best relationships because they happen against the odds, so the chemistry and spark must be strong. There is a wealth of shared history, albeit on opposite sides of the fence. Letting things evolve and not pushing back into what it was is advised, as both have changed and the way they interact has changed too.
Pisces (February 20 to March 20) draws the Page of Swords and Eight of Coins. Trust has to be earned and is rarely an automatic gift, although relationships usually start fairly neutrally and build from there. The Page brings the theme of trust into a relationship that has blown hot versus cold, on versus off, making it hard to invest even when the going is good. The Eight of Coins asks for one last push, as a breakthrough is on the cards. Something will click into place, unfold and reveal itself, and whatever used to drive a wedge will no longer be present. This can become what was always hoped for.
