Zodiac Signs
Libra season 2027 runs Sep 23 to Oct 23, computed to the minute. Here is what the season is about, the moons inside it, and which part of your life it lights up depending on your rising sign.
A zodiac season is simply the stretch of the year the Sun spends in one sign. There are twelve of them, each about thirty days, and together they are the year. Libra season is the 7th of the twelve, counting from the spring equinox.
The autumn equinox opens it, the second of the two days with equal light and dark, which is exactly the question the season asks about everything else.
| When | What happens | |
|---|---|---|
| Begins | September 23, 2027, 2:01 AM ET | The Sun reaches 0 degrees Libra |
| Ends | October 23, 2027, 11:32 AM ET | The Sun reaches 0 degrees Scorpio |
| Length | 30 days | Seasons are not all the same length, because Earth's orbit is not a circle |
Libra is described as fair, charming, diplomatic, indecisive and romantic. During Libra season those qualities are simply more available to everyone, not only to people born under the sign. The Sun in a sign works like a floodlight pointed at one part of the zodiac: the matters of that sign are lit for about thirty days, and then the light moves on.
Libra is an Air sign and a cardinal one, ruled by Venus. In practice that combination is what gives the season its particular texture: air for what it cares about, cardinal for how it goes about it.
Every season contains a new moon in its own sign and a full moon in the sign opposite, which is Aries. The new moon is the beginning of something in the season's territory; the full moon is where the opposite sign demands equal time.
| Date | Phase | Degree | What it tends to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 29, 2027, 10:36 PM ET | New moon | 6°44' Libra | A beginning in Libra territory. The clearest point of the season for starting something. |
| October 15, 2027, 9:47 AM ET | Full moon | 21°59' Aries | The Aries side of the axis asking for its share. Usually a culmination rather than a start. |
This is the part that general season horoscopes skip, and it is the only part that makes the season personal. The Sun spends these thirty days in one house of your chart, and which house depends on your rising sign rather than your Sun sign.
| If your rising sign is | The Sun moves through your | So the season is about |
|---|---|---|
| Aries | Seventh house | the person across the table |
| Taurus | Sixth house | work, routine and the body |
| Gemini | Fifth house | romance, children and whatever you make for pleasure |
| Cancer | Fourth house | home and family |
| Leo | Third house | conversations, siblings and short journeys |
| Virgo | Second house | money, and what you think you are worth |
| Libra | First house | you, and how you come across |
| Scorpio | Twelfth house | rest, solitude and what you have not looked at |
| Sagittarius | Eleventh house | friends, groups and what you want next |
| Capricorn | Tenth house | career and what the public sees |
| Aquarius | Ninth house | travel, study and what you believe |
| Pisces | Eighth house | shared money, debt and the things nobody says out loud |
If you do not know your rising sign, it needs your birth time, and the guides here cover how to find yours.
The full year's calendar is here, with every station and eclipse.
September 23, 2027, 2:01 AM ET to October 23, 2027, 11:32 AM ET. The season begins the moment the Sun reaches zero degrees of Libra.
A year runs about six hours longer than 365 days, so the Sun reaches each sign boundary slightly later each year until a leap day resets it. The drift is about a day over four years.
Everyone. The Sun moves through one house of every chart during the season, and which house depends on your rising sign. The table above lists all twelve.
Being born during it makes Libra your Sun sign, which is a permanent feature of your chart. Living through it is a thirty day period that affects everybody, in different parts of their lives.
