Stepping Into Libra Season, a.k.a. Cuffing Season!
From runway fantasies to front-row glam, NYFW had us drooling like kids in a candy store. Envy creeping in? Don’t stress. The Haus of Libra officially unlocked its doors on September 22, as the sun struts into this sign of beauty and balance for four dazzling weeks. Time to perfect your iconic runway walk—whether it’s Karlie’s sleek Panther, Naomi’s unstoppable Strut, or Gisele’s effortless Bounce, your move is sure to command attention.
While Leo might dominate the room with its “main character” charisma, Libra’s energy is far more subtle and sophisticated. Ruled by Venus—the hottest celestial body in our solar system—Libra doesn’t hustle for your approval. It simply is magnetic. Libra-born Jenna Ortega knows how to master the art of selective sharing, one of the sign’s secret powers. The Wednesday actress summed it up perfectly in her Vanity Fair cover interview: “I don’t plan on speaking about my love life publicly, because that’s mine.”
No surprises here! Love, after all, is the centerpiece of Libra’s world. It’s no shocker that cuffing season syncs up with Libra’s reign. As the air cools, we’re all on the hunt for a cozy partner to snuggle up with for the winter (and who knows, maybe longer). Symbolized by the scales, Libra guides us in seeking relationships that bring balance to our lives. But let’s be clear—Libra season isn’t just about finding your romantic match. This season also sharpens our sense of fairness and justice. Yet, in true Libra style, you might channel Bella Hadid and use your platform to speak up for social causes. Or maybe you'll follow Kim Kardashian’s lead, who passed California’s notorious “baby bar” exam in 2021, smashing through any cute-sounding illusions of it being easy.

What makes Libra season truly delightful is the duality it brings. We get to be both serious and fun, deep and lighthearted. Being an air sign, Libra knows how to keep things breezy.
Then, there’s the humorous side of Libra, as seen in Kamala HQ’s TikTok. Libra season comes with a witty “spoonful of sugar” energy—a sentiment captured best by iconic Libra Julie Andrews in her Mary Poppins tune. But don’t confuse Libra’s elegance for fragility. This sign is one of the zodiac’s four cardinal signs, meaning it’s a born leader that ushers in change with grace. Just look at the Libras making global waves right now—whether it’s AOC or Putin, this air sign leads with charm and command.
And let’s not forget, Libra season is prime time for social butterflies. It’s the season to embrace your “party affiliation,” gather your circle, and host chic dinner parties with purpose. There’s no need for a formal invite—meet up with friends, hit the wine bar for a date, or gather to dissect the latest global issue with intellectual flair. Because, honestly, caring about the planet is the chicest statement anyone can make right now, and Libra is 100% here for it.
