Libra season is here! This astrological season, it’s important to focus on cooperation and justice. During Libra season, be mindful of your interactions with others. This is an important time for relationships of all kinds, from friends and family, to acquaintances and co-workers, or even those with whom you have a difficult time seeing eye to eye. As we dive into Libra season (September 23 – October 22), the focus shifts to cooperation and relationship building, especially when working in community with others. Discover more about this special time, and some of the best crystals for Libra season to use in your healing practice…
The opposing energies of competition and cooperation are at odds and how you engage with others will influence the outcome of each interaction. Cooperation is always more pleasant and productive than competition, so make an effort to keep your relationships working in your favor.

Top 3 Crystals for Libra Season:
Azurite: This deep indigo stone is connected to your center for intuition and stimulates creative expression and imagination. Work with this crystal when you need a little intuitive help understanding the thoughts or feelings of others. When you can put yourself in someone else’s shoes (or their head for that matter), it’s easier to hold compassion for them and work in cooperation.
Rainbow Fluorite: Rainbow Fluorite promotes clear thinking and allows you to see what’s most important in a given situation. If you’ve been feeling scattered or pulled in lots of different directions, work with this crystal to get you back on track. It can also bring clarity to your role in projects, relationships, or social groups and help you better understand what people expect from you. However, this doesn’t mean you need to agree with these roles. Whether you choose to conform or rebel against these societal expectations, Rainbow Fluorite will guide you on your path.
Blue Sapphire: This crystal promotes peace and harmony, especially among groups of people. If you’ve been dealing with a tumultuous situation, Blue Sapphire can help you remove your ego from the equation, set your differences aside, and find some common ground with others.

Libra Season Crystal Ritual & Meditation:
Ritual Overview:
- Gain insight into how others view you and your role in the world.
Ritual Supplies:
- A notebook or some paper
- A small to medium-sized bowl
- Some colored pencils
- Scissors
- Three Tumbled Rainbow Fluorite stones
Gather your supplies. Trace the outline of the bowl on the paper to create a circle. Cut out the circle and draw lines dividing it into eight equal sections. Use your colored pencils to shade each section a different color. Label the sections with one of the following archetypes: Artist, Dreamer, Fool, Healer, Leader, Scholar, Servant, and Warrior.
Cast (gently drop) the three stones onto the circle. Make note of the archetypes on each area where a stone has landed. If a stone falls outside of the circle, disregard it. If a stone falls on the line between two areas, note both archetypes. Take a moment to contemplate what these archetypes mean and why others may see you in them. Consider whether or not these are roles that you’d like to fill in your life. Will you conform or rebel? How do you show up in each of these and why? Take some time to journal about this. A few days later, return to what you’ve written and reflect on your words.
Crystals for Libra in Your Chart:
In addition to working with crystals during Libra season, you may also want to work with the following stones if you have Libra energy in your birth chart.
Each of us has many astrological influences that affect our energy and the way we interact with the world around us. The energies that have the biggest influence on you are your Sun Sign, Moon Sign, and Rising Sign. These are sometimes called “Your Big 3.” These can be determined by calculating of your natal chart using the full date, time, and place of your birth.
The Big Three
- Your Sun Sign is the astrological sign that the Sun was in during the time of your birth (also known as your Zodiac sign). The Sun is the center of all life and represents your personality and spirit.
- Your Moon Sign is determined by the sign that the Moon was in during the time of your birth and influences your Soul expression. Your Moon Sign represents your emotions, moods, and your innermost-self.
- Your Rising Sign, also known as your Ascendant, is the planetary influence that was on the Eastern horizon when you were born. Your Rising Sign is the starting point of the first house in your birth chart and has a good deal of influence on the characteristics of your personality (sometimes even outweighing those of your Sun Sign because your Rising Sign is the part of yourself that you share with others).
If Libra is part of your Big 3, you can use the stones suggested below to enhance or balance its energy. Sunstone can always be used in place of a Sun Sign Stone (or you can use any of the Cancer crystals listed at the beginning of this article), and Moonstone can be substituted in place of a Moon Sign Stone.
- Stone for Libra as Your Sun Sign: Pyrite or Hiddenite
- Stone for Libra as Your Moon Sign: Selenite or White Marble
- Stone for Libra as Your Rising Sign: Chrysoprase or Chrysanthemum Stone
Working with Crystals for Your Big 3:
To work with your 3 Astrological Crystals (Sun, Moon, and Rising Signs), you can craft a crystal energy pouch with corresponding crystals and symbols.
Starting with your Sun Sign, write out the name of your sign and draw its symbol on a small scrap of paper (you may even want to draw the symbol of its ruling planet for a boost of energy). These symbols will charge up your crystal with the energy of your Sun sign. Place this paper along with your Sun Sign Stone into the pouch. As you place the stone and paper into the bag, think about what energy your Sun Sign represents and brings into your life.
Next, write out the name of your Moon sign and draw its symbol on another small piece of paper. Place this paper along with your Moon Sign Stone into the pouch. As you place the stone and paper into the bag, think about what energy your Moon Sign represents and brings into your life.
Finally, write out the name of your Rising sign and draw its symbol on the last small piece of paper. Place this paper along with your Rising Sign Stone into the pouch. As you place the stone and paper into the bag, think about what energy your Rising Sign represents and brings into your life.
After adding all the stones to the pouch, focus your intention on strengthening your positive traits and balancing the negative aspects of your unique astrological blueprint.
