How To Harness The Energy Of Libra Season 2022, From An Astrologer

When thinking about Libra season, it's noteworthy to remember that it aligns with the autumn equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere, at least). As astrology expert Imani Quinn tells mbg, we've reached the halfway point of the astrological year, and now we're ready to transition into fall energy—a time for both harvesting and planting seeds.

But take heed: This Libra season is going to have six retrograde planets at play, so things may feel a bit topsy-turvy. And Quinn says we're all going to be encouraged to replace that heightened and activated summertime energy with rest and reflection.

"Because of Libra season having such a heavy reflective energy right now, it's important to stay focused, expect challenges to arise, and know that it's all happening for your greatest good and highest plan with these six retrogrades happening," Quinn tells mbg, adding, "And Libra being ruled by Venus and also by our seventh house is giving us some time to lean into our relationships and to really focus in on our partnerships."

In terms of how to work with the energy of this Libra season, Quinn tells mbg to lean into autumnal activities and particularly ones that allow you to connect with your favorite people. Maybe that means a fall harvest dinner with friends, or practicing an autumn equinox ritual.

In addition to that, with so many planets in retrograde, we're being asked to reflect on everything we learned this summer and integrate it in the coming weeks. We can also ask ourselves how we can welcome change into our lives during this time, as the start of a new season is all about change. Maybe that means literally reorganizing your closet, Quinn says, or perhaps doing some more internal, metaphorical reorganization.
