Libra Libra

September 10 ~ September 24 

The weeks around this eclipse feel personal, Libra — because Mars is in your sign until September 22. Mars here stirs action, desire, and sometimes conflict, pushing you to assert yourself more directly. You may feel the heat of other people’s expectations or the weight of choices pressing against you. Mars in Libra is never about domination, but about learning to act decisively without losing your center. Relationships are spotlighted, but the deeper invitation is to remember: your power is not in pleasing, but in staying true to yourself while also remaining open.

Just before Mars shifts, Mercury enters Libra on September 18, turning the focus toward meaningful exchange. Words carry impact— this is about listening as much as speaking, and finding the middle ground where evolutionary ground can be covered in your intimate connections. As Mercury forms a flowing trine to Pluto in Aquarius, communication gains gravity and potency. What is said now can reveal hidden truths, rework agreements, or transform the way you relate to others. This is about speaking with honesty, but also attuning to what lies beneath the words.

Then on September 19, Venus enters Virgo, refining your values and asking you to tend to the details of what really works — in love, in money, and in how you care for yourself. Venus in Virgo is less about grand gestures and more about the quiet acts of devotion that bring real harmony. This is your chance to align with what is truly supportive, to ground beauty into the everyday, and to choose love not as a performance, but as a practice.

The Solar Eclipse at 29° Virgo on Sunday, 21, falls in your twelfth house — the realm of endings, surrender, and the unseen. This anaretic eclipse closes a chapter behind the scenes. It may feel like something ends quietly, or like a veil is being lifted from patterns long hidden in your subconscious. You are standing at the crossroads of a karmic clearing point: what lingers in the shadows and no longer sustains you must be released to make space for a more essential beginning.

As Mars travels the final degrees of Libra, and enters Scorpio, it activates a square with Pluto in Aquarius, Scorpio’s ruler. This is no light hand-off — it’s a pressure point, a test, and an evolutionary opportunity. The square ignites themes of power, control, freedom, and the cost of compromise. For Libra, this can feel like a test on the ways you negotiate your energy: are you bending too far to smooth over tension, or holding too tightly to what takes more than it gives. Mars in its final stretch through your sign — with Venus refining in Virgo — reminds you that both assertion and harmony belong to you. The eclipse calls you inward, asking you to clear the hidden clutter so your light can shine freely.

Trust what is ending — and look forward to what will emerge: bonds and expressions that are a vibrational match for your Soul.

Personal Message from Kristin

If the energy within my words feels different — more urgent, more direct, more on fire — it is because I am in the midst of completing a long-awaited project on the female warrior, the Amazon. In these pages I trace her fierce energy as she moves through every sign of the zodiac, revealing how she lives and breathes in each of us, with an intention to awaken the wild feminine within you. The aim is for you to harness the courage necessary to fearlessly go after what you came here to be and do. This work has been years in the making, and I look forward to sharing it with you in 2026.
