Libra

September 24 to October 23

If certain relationships have felt tender, tangled or tested, change is coming. You’re learning that harmony doesn’t mean hiding your truth, it means expressing it tactfully. Past wounds around rejection or imbalance may surface, but they’re showing you how strong and self-aware you’ve become. In fact, the extra assertion you showed for some of last year, will step up in intensity as 2026 goes on.

You’re being nudged to take better care of your body, mind and daily rhythms. Any recent struggles around burnout, stress or nagging self-doubt now come into clearer focus, along with helpful solutions. Self-care doesn’t have to be dramatic, as it can occur in the small shifts such as a better routine, a supportive habit or a moment of compassion for yourself. Be ready to ditch perfectionism and swap it for solid progress.
