Your Best Sex Position for a Balanced Libra Season? 69, of Course
Alright, so you’ve made it through the productivity gauntlet of Virgo season (probably several spreadsheets wiser) and now you take the sweet steps into the curated autumnal party of Libra season. Ruled by Venus, Libra is an air sign’s air sign. Bringing forth lively intellectual conversation, a sense for aesthetics, and a gut-level need for harmony and justice, Libra season (which runs from Sept. 23 to Oct. 23) invites you to fall in love a lot (and to make everyone else fall in love with you on the way down) and to take and give in the way that feels right for you. Which brings us to the most glorious give-and-take sex position: 69.
A position known for being a punchline (and the nicest number), 69 can feel a bit busy and all over the place. You’re trying to do your thing with your mouth and enjoy all the wonders of your partner doing their best on you — all while managing your limbs and technique to make sure no one gets a knee to the face or an elbow to the stomach. But even if you prefer taking turns, the spirit of 69 is all about reciprocity and mutually pleasurable sex.

And finding that sweet balance between giving and receiving, loving and being loved and enjoying and being enjoyed — that’s a big Libra season mood.
“Libra is the sign of balance, so the 69 position is ideal for harnessing the concept of fairness and alignment between two people,” Narayana Monúfar, senior astrologer at Astrology.com, tells SheKnows. “With this fun position, both sides are giving attention and receiving the same amount of attention, evening out the scales of pleasure!” Plus, 69 is a super-inclusive position that works for any sexuality or gender identity. “Anyone can try it — and Libra energy loves that, as this lovey-dovey sign is all about equality,” Monúfar explains.

Libra season in general is an exciting time for relationships, which completely makes sense — Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love and pleasure, after all. Monúfar describes Libra season as a time for seeking true connection and “one of the best seasons of the year to make new friends and seek light-hearted fun.”
And when it comes to relationships, Libra season in 2023 will be quite something. “The last eclipse season of the year arrives now, with the Ring of Fire new moon solar eclipse happening in Libra on October 14,” Monúfar says. Eclipses tend to open and close doors, mixing past and present and future all together, so “we should expect to see a lot of movement in all our relationships this Libra season,” she explains.
For sex specifically, that makes this season the perfect time to experiment. “For those who are interested in going beyond 69 and exploring new kinks, this is your month!” Monúfar confirms. “Mars — the planet of sex and drive — will be very active in the sky all month, reminding us that our sex life is just another area of life that needs maintenance and attention.”
Of course, while you’re having all this sexy, 69 fun, remember that the crucial tenet of Libra is balance. “Relationships are mirrors,” Monúfar says. “When we dislike something about someone, there is something about ourselves that needs work. Similarly, when we are able to see a quality or a gift in another person, we have the capability of showing the same traits.”
In relationships of all kinds, a sense of balance between yourself and your partner is invaluable — as well as the wisdom to know when you need to restore that balance a little. It means you’ve got the sense to listen, to try and understand their wants and needs and provide as well as be let yourself be provided for (emotionally, physically, whatever). So even if you aren’t going forth and engaging in fun mutual orgasms (even if oral’s not for everyone — you can always just play with toys) it helps to think about the things you can do, big and small, to find what that sense of balance looks like for you and your partner.
And, in true Libra season fashion, you’re sure to find that balance pretty damn beautiful.
