LIBRA
September 22nd-October 23rd
This is a month of some depth with a profound vein running through it. Dealings with some serious, deep and complex issues are inevitable and it is also a time for truth and honesty about self, others and life, although behind-the-scenes rather secretive activities may ironically be part of this journey. Joint finances and powerful emotions are a particularly strong factor at work.
Your ruler Venus in Gemini from the 24th and Mercury there from the 2nd may also however be prompting travel and dealings with the law, and the possibility of academic pursuits being high-profile too. Love life and travel can go happily hand-in-hand now too.
After the 26th when Mercury goes walkabout however, travel issues can become complicated and subject to a lack of smoothness, and intellectual or legal pursuits can run into hot water too somehow. It will not be until around the 19th of next month that things will start to disentangle.
Mars in Cancer until the 9th warns against being in too harsh a mood or over-assertive in your work environment. It is vital also not to get others’ backs up as they will be ready and willing to rise to the occasion. In fact work may not be the most tranquil of zones, most true if born after October 18th.
After the 9th, however, Mars moves into compatible with you Leo and suggests a harmonizing of your energy from that date, especially in the context of group work, where you can take an effective leadership role and also it enlivens your social life. You will also be ideologically fired to work for what you are passionate about in the world at large.
Jupiter is playing his role now in the lives of those born October 13th to 17th as an encourager of extravagant self-indulgence and even some wastefulness, not least domestically or in real estate matters, and travel may also have a very extensive feel. You are generosity personified now, but be sure you are not merely unthinkingly so. It is also possible that one should watch the waistline as Jupiter by square aspect can pile on the pounds without even trying.
Saturn is tending to create a rather strong desire to put on a brave face and weather storms quietly behind-the-scenes and sharing your stresses with other people seems difficult now. Remember this could make you your own worst enemy. As you brood, you may exaggerate problems.
Uranus is bringing a few left field events in your attitude to work and your everyday activities and you need to protect your nervous system from being frayed too now, especially in the last week when Mercury squares to Uranus.
Neptune however is wonderfully inspiring if born October 17th to 19th. The creative font is rich and inspired and your visual and musical sensibilities are finely tuned. You have empathy abounding and exquisite sensitivity to the subtler aspects of life, and romance can have a really magical feel to it, so enjoy.
Pluto is just finishing his first foray into Capricorn and returns to Sagittarius, but he does return to Capricorn in late November 2008 and will then start to be directly affecting you again, as he is now and will really get into his stride affecting your Sun between August and November 2009. What you are feeling now and what you have been feeling on and off since the beginning of this year, is just a taster of what will be hanging around strongly at the end of the year and next. This is quite simply a period of time where you are challenged somehow to become more self-contained, more independent, more authentically you, but it will involve some power struggles from within, not least possibly with family pressures. The end of the chapter is in the ether but you don’t fully understand the true implications of this until next year, but know that this is a period quite simply to empower yourself and to ensure that one chapter that needs to disappear is actually going to do that.
