Virgo season was all about cleaning up the glitter and confetti from Leo’s time in the spotlight, calling everyone to line up their ducks in a row and organize their priorities. However, with Mercury retrograde—and five other plants spinning backward—throwing things into disarray, it’s been hard to keep up with the cosmic chaos.

Unfortunately, cardinal signs Aries, Cancer,and Capricorn won’t get to rest on their laurels—things will be shaking up for them, so they’ll need to be on their toes!
Here's what you need to know about Libra season:
Cuffing season begins
It’s no surprise that cuffing season begins right when it’s Libra’s time to shine. This part of the year is perfect for fostering closer relationships with your colleagues, friends, or even a spicy new love interest, says Cosmopolitan. Since Libra is the sign of relationships, you’ll want to follow suit and pay more attention to your intimate ties, as you’ll both have an even better time enriching each other’s lives.
Play nice
If you’re spoken for, it’s best to work together with your partner on being more conscious and intentional with your relationship, recommends Cosmopolitan. This time is conducive for expressing your vulnerabilities, listening to each other, and determining the optimal way to meet each other’s needs. If any conflict arises, it will be easier for you two to work it out. The same thing applies to your social life—if there’s trouble bubbling, now is the time to smooth things over, as people will feel more diplomatic and peaceful. You can even turn tension into a surprising new friendship!
Focus on friendships
Still, that doesn’t mean everything is in the clear. It’s easy to get caught up in the love whirlwind of Libra season, which means you may find yourself putting your relationships on a pedestal and identifying yourself too much with them, warns Cosmopolitan. If trouble comes up, you might blame yourself right away or feel that you aren’t worthy of a loving relationship. Stop the negative self-talk right away and remember: as long as both of you are willing to repair what went wrong, you’ll be just fine.
