What Did Libra Season Teach Us About Emotional Safety In Our Relationships?
Libra season in astrology runs from 22nd September — 22nd October and Libra season is 7th House energy. This energy typically manifests within dynamics around money, marriage, contracts, negotiations, relationships of all kinds, including situationships and partnerships.
As we move through the seasons and the archetypal energies, each season allows us to explore our edges and percolate any insights we can surrender to, harmonize and embody.
As the season’s cascade into one another, what exactly did this Libra Season bring up for evaluation?
“In evolutionary astrology, Libra Season is — I Relate. This expression is how we relate to life, how we value those relationships to others, money, our value systems, injustices and life as it happens on the social landscape. The scales represent polarity, for the scales are not separate. They are poles with opposite ends of the spectrum.”
What showed up in this Libra Season? Well, Mercury went retrograde (regressive energy rather than progressive energy) as Mercury rules over communication and technology. Themes of communication around money and relationships came up.
These themes come up in order for us to self actualize and recalibrate what these insights mean to us but what happens when they come and challenge our emotional safety within our relationships, whatever that may look like for you?
The Libra archetype, in its totality, can feel quite challenging as Venus rules Libra and her MO is how we value ourselves and take accountability for our basic survival needs.
When we add these base layers to the current astrological climate, we can ask ourselves: Do I feel safe within my current relationships? Where do I feel I give my power away, and how am I accountable in my relationships? How do I relate to those parts that make me feel vulnerable? What roles do I play within these relationships? Am I accountable, or am I a victim? How do I negotiate and communicate my needs so that I may feel safe? Are my needs met, and why do I feel played when my relationship on the surface looks and feels safe?
The inner narrative during this season can be quite triggering if the self-analysis is not done and can bleed into the next astrological season — Scorpio season.
Scorpio season runs from 22nd October — 22nd November. This season typically brings up themes of intense emotional triggers, jealousy, psychological inquiry, attachment issues and highlights our ability or inability to self soothe our emotions when we feel turbulent.
When the self-inquiry comes up in Libra Season, and the work per se is not done — as we pass into a new season, this can become a projection within our relationships.
Emotional safety looks and feels like a very raw form of vulnerability for some. This vulnerability level can feel debilitating, especially if communication is not present within your intimate relationships. Intimacy builds relationships and is the foundational element in which intimate relationships thrive. Libra season was the exploratory element to deep dive into why and what makes you feel safe, and given the fact this season also represents inclusivity and diversity — that also extends to relationships.
Scorpio season is undoubtedly the spiciest season but also brings a side of emotional depth to any relationship, which can highlight devotional surrender to those parts of you, you would instead not share with your partner. The parts you hide in the shadows for fear of vulnerability and those shadow elements that do not make you feel safe.
