You’ve worked hard on your makeover over the past few months and focused on refining certain aspects of your life to better suit you. It’s worked and you should be operating more smoothly on many different levels. There is hope, joy and satisfaction replacing a sense of uncertainty – you no longer feel “lost in the wilderness” of life – and you are more driven to get ahead. The expression “you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression” aptly sums up your drive to put your best foot forward at every occasion.
No matter how diligent you are, no one is infallible though and there is the possibility this week of you mishandling a project or making a clerical error; whatever it is isn’t the end of the world but it will cause you a degree of discomfort and self-flagellation. In a funny way that may either get the attention of someone else or cause you to make a decision as result, because there is also the possibility for a certain percentage of Librans to have a workplace change. This could be because you decide to leave the job, are offered a new one or you have a new working environment through restructuring or a move.
It’s a good thing your private life is so rich, and perhaps that is the reason for the momentary lack of focus on work, in spite of your driving ambition. There does seem to be an emotional distraction and/or a hectic social life and you appear to be very much in demand. This is not only doing wonders for your self esteem, but cements your sense of belonging and “validates” you – you do need constant confirmation of your real worth right now, more to reassure yourself that you are on the right track.
As I mentioned earlier this is a no “dress rehearsal” time, you are serious (Saturn in Libra) about your reputation and status and if you need to undertake “relationship cleansing”, you won’t hesitate. For some Librans the emotional distraction will be an awkward one whilst you separate the wheat from the chaff. This is normally an excruciatingly difficult process for you, but once you’ve made up your mind, that it! There’s no going back.
Again this may be influenced by feedback from family or friends or your own sense of what is “working” or not in your personal life, but you are no longer hesitate or fearful.
Life is moving forward again at warp speed and you are taking no prisoners.
In spite of Venus suggesting that you should “spruce yourself up” I feel that you’ve been doing a much broader self improvement jag over the past few months and had a makeover of sorts. This could have been physical, but just as likely emotional and/or mental, but even so, with Saturn in the picture you are still subject to feelings of uncertainty.
Self-doubt can be a very insidious because it is through self-doubt that we can lose our sense of self-worth. You are feeling some self doubt at the moment but try and take some strength and advice from the words of George Bernard Shaw ““Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself”.
With these words in mind keep on going and don’t let the issues that are currently impacting on your peace of mind derail you. You know how the saying goes - accept the things you can’t change, the courage to change the things you can and the wisdom to know the difference….
At l’office is actually where most of your real action is going to take place and in this regard it will be quite a dynamic week. Apart from feeling like you’re on a conveyor belt, you’ll have to be quick to respond to the rapid changes taking place and adaptive to new regimes.
There will quite a bit of discussion about respective roles - who does what and divisions of spoils and existing rules will be replaced. You’re often hard pressed to decide between tea and coffee so all the decision making that you’ll be required to do can cause you some degree of apprehension and anxiety.
Still by the end of this forecast period - if you employ your innate Libran skills of diplomacy, sensitivity and flexibility – you’ll be a hell of a lot more secure and certain that you are now.
But just like it’s always darkest before the dawn (gee I’m really into the clichés this week) things will get better…after they get a bit worse …and you will be tested quite a bit on your path to success. And yes, you are on the path to a better future if you can just sidestep what could either be a difficult situation or even a difficult person in the interim.
You will encounter opposition this week but use your much-heralded intellect to navigate your way through.
Please tread warily this weekend, as there could be fireworks in your camp as a result of the Full Moon. If you have joint bank accounts you could feel this has been abused. Or if you suspect that your romantic partner has been flirting - or worse dallying - then it will be on for young and old.
Granted you have been having reservations for a while, especially if the relationship is less than 18 months. Some doubts have set in and you’ve been wondering if this one will go the distance. Others have been very sentimental over “the one that got away” and have been feeling nostalgic and reflective for quite some time.
All of this indecision and uncertainty will pass by early next week and you’ll be back in form and ruling your emotional world. Life has felt decidedly bleak and distant for a few weeks but that was then and this is now. Your confidence will rebound but if you're going to talk the talk, then you've got to walk the walk. You will be exceptionally expressive and can sell snow to the Eskimos right now so work out what is it you really want to achieve as you have everyone’s attention and admiration.
On the job front, do your homework and strut your stuff. A key aspect of your success on the work front this week will be your demonstration of knowledge in front of the right people (e.g. the boss, public) so bone up on anything you need to know.
You’re at the starting line of a transit that will transform your personal identity and how you come across to others so necessarily how you perform over the next couple of years will set the tone for decades.
Don’t blow this opportunity so get the blueprint in perfect order.
Bo Derek once said, “a person who said money doesn’t buy happiness doesn’t know where to shop” – a favorite Libran pastime. That’s a bit of a glib answer to the soul-searching and deep ruminations that is going on in your world as you review what is of real “value” to you (including the people and things in your life), but with PARTICULAR emphasis on your finances and love life.
Chances are that you’re feeling a bit withdrawn and introspective while you’re doing all this reviewing and rather reticent to show anyone what your real feelings are. Speaking of reviewing, you will be re-seeing and re-hearing from friends and even lovers from yesteryear this week.
The good news is that this is likely to have a positive outcome whereby you deepen your connection once you get past the communication hurdles as interpreting what YOU are saying and what is being said TO you can be problematic this week. Mean what you say and say what you mean. Both relationships and associations (work ones) can be repaired and/or improved and any connections that have lost the plot can find their way back again. Those relationships that were already broken before now can be put back together again just like Humpty Dumpty.
Some Librans can expect to receive, and will make, all sorts of profound commitments under this transit. By the same token others are letting go of connections or changing their views about certain issues and if the heart-to-hearts don’t break through any impasses; what is said and done during this transit (until the 18th) will close the door on the relationship.
You’re a very different person now to the one that was pre-Saturn. You are no longer terrified of being alone, not as eager to agree with everyone as you used to and a whole lot less insecure. You’re recreating and remaking yourself as Saturn makes its journey through your self-identity house so if you become down or unsure about anything, it means that this area needs work!
Saturn wants to rid you of anything (or anyone) that is holding you back. It will clear the decks for better things to come into your life so listen to your inner voice that will tell you what is no longer necessary or useful. Saturn will do this with you or without you so work with it!
Not just because it’s spring (in the southern hemisphere) but you do need to affect some kind of spring-cleaning to a close relationship. It needs tending to, airing out and freshening up and if that doesn’t work, perhaps you need to start looking at it pragmatically. If it’s all give and all take then there is a significant imbalance that Libra is not about. You are about harmony and equilibrium. No matter whether you decide to work with or review the whole set up entirely, a big restructuring has to take place. You’ve got to go to the next level – that’s up not down! – and you have to be brave enough to undertake what is necessary for you to do just that. You instinctively know that once unshackled from a draining situation you will replenish every aspect of your life.
In fact you will have an epiphany this week, what was unclear will suddenly become very obvious and it will need all your skills of diplomacy to do a balancing act between sensitivities, hopes and needs. You may face resistance or even distrust at your motivations but at heart is a present and pressing concern about your finances. You want to continue to enjoy life but by the same token produce the required resources to enable that to unfold.
There are also some side issues that are making you tetchy, an underwhelming social life, some recalcitrant friends and a general sense of social malaise. Don’t worry all this will be passé shortly.
You’re almost exhausted with all this soul searching and remaking that is going on and you are still coming to terms with certain relationships from the past – anyone from your Mother/Father to an ex, your childhood – the lot.
To counterbalance (and as part of) this process you’ll be spending quite lavishly on luxury items for yourself, and/or whatever tools you need to enhance both your personal and social life. You are on a self-improvement jag: socially, emotionally, physically, financially and yes, you want more sex!
It’s a necessary and fruitful process - even if a bit painful and uncomfortable at times - and I urge you to listen acutely to your intuition, dreams and even visions that will present themselves. This is your hidden psyche emerging and one Libran I know actually saw an image of her deceased Mother for a split second, so keep your eyes peeled for similar flashes that will relate to the very issue you’re obsessing about.
Don’t worry this process won’t last forever and you are coming to the end of it and the all-consuming self-analysis will soon be a thing of the past.
You are currently also giving thought to different career paths, and ways of increasing your income but will be so full of ideas and a whole host of plans, that you might not actually get around to putting any into fruition. You’re certainly more adept at expressing what you want right now and will discover that you’ve become more assertive (and even self-centered) and have become your beliefs and ideas.
There is a risk of you being a tad too sensitive also and taking things too personally; especially if you take yourself too seriously this will result in a few unnecessary blowups (and this can be particularly so with siblings if you have them).
Yes it’s true that you have become a bit more solemn, but then you’ve had every reason to n’est pas!
You need all your skills of diplomacy right now. There does appear to be criticism and negativity afoot (either inwardly or outwardly) and if you can’t avoid certain “known” problem areas, then be as neutral and dispassionate as humanely possible. Ultimately your detractors – and you do have them – will become unstuck but not before you are humiliated or belittled in some way.
The biggest mistake you can make right now (and this applies to both business and personal relationships) is to try and get the upper hand. You do like to be “on top” and if you overtly jostle for pole position or play “one-upmanship” games then it will backfire.
Underlying all this is a fear for your long-term security. You have been thinking a lot about your resources and/or income-making ability and will be devising new strategies that will keep you in good stead for the next stage of your life. These tie in with the “remaking” process that you’ve been undertaking for the past few months affecting your outlook, career aspirations and direction in life.
For many of you this will necessitate a whole new untried and untested path - best foot forward on the road less travelled - but one that makes the most of your life.
Make love not war is easier said than done this week. You’re in a feisty and antagonist mood and it will be a week filled with confrontations and clashes of wills. You are usually the most diplomatic of signs, but there’s been a subterranean geyser bubbling away in your psyche that relates back to your childhood and family.
Where you fit in and how you belong is the schematic and your emotions are on hair trigger. I’ve been writing about the remaking process going on with you over the past few weeks where you’ve been in the process of overhauling your image and rebuilding your very essence. The good news is that there is a healing going on.
You are also confronting painful issues from your past that have yet to be dealt with no matter what your age. All this will impact on your exchanges with others so try to remain conscious of this and keep your emotions in check.
At least your working life is going well and your social life should be brisk also. There will be recognition, success, promotions and advancements in at least one aspect of your working/financial world and a respectable number of social invitations to boot.
There is one proviso here though. There is the distinct possibility that an idea will be floated by you that feels distinctly uncomfortable, but at the same time you’re hesitant to reject it outright for fear of upsetting those who proposed it. Bide your time and resist any coercion; you don’t need to give your answer immediately and you will be in a much better position to make a sound judgment in a few more weeks.
Relationships are often so difficult and complicated for you. On the one hand you detest being alone, but you want love, love, love and admiration. But your ego has been shredded over the past few months which has made you gun shy and unsure but at the same time (for some reason) you need to demonstrate what you are capable of or what you can offer. This might mean performing well at the work place in spite of being demoted or criticized or having to be the loving partner when there is a rival.
There are decisions that have to be made and things to prove even if having to make a decision between coffee and tea sends you into a quandary. Still once you’ve made your mind up, that is it! The Cosmos is saying that you are starting over, that it’s a new beginning and fresh start.
Now this may be a new lease of life on a stale relationship, new enthusiasm for an existing role – or an entirely new job or new love. If you have the courage to get out there and start again (or re-start) then you have a great opportunity to demonstrate your real talents and abilities. Keep it real, don’t try to be something you’re not and before long you will have your usual band of admirers.
Put on your glad rags and get out there! Fine feathers do make fine birds and you more than anyone in the zodiac are the glamour queen when you want to be. Fake it until you make it (at being strong and in control that is) and all will be well.
There will be a change in your workplace this week. It will either be an obvious one or “behind the scenes” that you intuitively sense and if it’s the latter you are correct in your thinking. Don’t be perturbed by any of this as you will be successful in the end and unaffected.
That said, you will feel under the microscope and there will be subversive elements at play and some things will be revealed that will make you unsettled to say the least. Others will attempt to destabilize you – either through jealousy or bitterness - and an issue from mid year will be back to haunt you. Quite a lot of water has passed under the bridge, not necessarily all due to you but there are antagonists out there looking for an opportunity to strike. Don’t let the pressure get to you or begin to doubt yourself and keep your eyes open to all the “play”, don’t buy into the hype and keep your cool.
In politics, guts is everything and it would be very fair to say that you know how to play politics better than anyone (Librans made sensational pollies) as you’re a superb communicator and a great networker. The Cosmos indicates that you will connect with the right people to swing things your way in the end. As Virgil said “Fortune favors the brave” and this is the most important thing to keep in mind all week.
On the up side your social life is buzzing and will continue to do so for the next few weeks. There is also “amour” in the air (should you wish to enjoy) along with a strong possibility of an opportunity for a trip via a friend or work - as opposed to your initiative. Alternatively (or as well) you could take up a sport or a hobby that you used to enjoy but have let lapse for a while.
Use this week and most of October to connect with friends from the past - but don’t be at all surprised if you get the odd pang when an old love is mentioned (or even seen) - no matter what your current relationship status!
Who would have thought you the great flirt, the irrepressible host/hostess and social butterfly would actually prefer to be alone. It’s a taking stock time. Where you are in life, who you are with, how it’s going (now and into the future) and have you got enough to survive – those kinds of key life questions.
And it’s not necessarily just with you in the frame. You might wonder if you’ve got enough for the kids, how much your partner contributes how much of the resources do you share and so on. You might be doing this because you have to, impelled by a job change or a relationship change. It’s akin to having to adjust to a new budget or a new structure, something has changed in your world that has necessitated this way of thinking, If you’re young it might just be part of growing up and all those fun financial responsibilities that begin to weigh you down.
You’re a partnership sign and usually do everything à deux and yet this time around you are retreating into solitude and doing your reflecting solo. But even you have come to a conclusion that in order to protect numero uno you have to be proactive, not reactive. This process is almost an instinctual thing and you can sense that it’s something you need to do as opposed to “ought to”. By next week you will realize that you were indeed wise to do just that and by this time next month it will be very clear in which direction a certain a domestic situation is heading.
Last week I suggested that you are either soon to get a miracle or have recently gotten one and sometimes gifts come in strange packages. You will discover the truth about a situation or see it in a different light. No matter how convoluted some of the surrounding issues are, they will be resolved and unrealistic as this may feel at the time, will ultimately provide you with calm and peace.
Doesn’t it just rot your socks when you feel you are an evolved, sensible adult and then whack something makes you feel like the unloved vulnerable child all over again. Or if you had a fabulous childhood then it’s a past love(s) that you never really got over that all of a sudden pops up on your emotional radar again. This reappearance forces you to confront a whole lot of aspects of your personality i.e. how you relate emotionally and how this impacts on your successes or otherwise. You are certainly doing a lot of introspection (feelings of regret, guilt and sorrow) which is the last thing you need right now when everything else in your life is on the up and up.
There are some Librans who had a grand love that went no-where (within the past five years) but they still remained on the periphery of your radar. Circumstances have changed and they will come back into your life and this time the boots on the other foot, they will be pursuing you.
It’s not like you to exploit opportunities and situations in general, especially in a devious, unscrupulous, or unprincipled way but you are driven to succeed right now and will do whatever it takes to push your cause.
On every other front, things are looking good, you’ve got more funds coming in, and your career is finally taking off. You are certainly in the spotlight or at the very least being appreciated more than in previous times. Queen sang “I want it all”…..it featured on an album called The Miracle...and speaking of miracles you are either soon to get one or have recently gotten one. Think about it.
There’s no getting around the fact that you are in different territory. Most folk know about Saturn now and although it’s been nearly 30 years since the last round, the older Libran’s certainly still hold memories of what that passage was like.
So you know you are in for overdue and major changes to your life and any areas that are not working well will all undergo scrutiny and “the old Saturn” treatment. Nearly all of you are about to (or are currently undergoing) a personal stocktaking, what’s important to you and what’s not, where you are wasting your time and efforts and where did you go wrong (and right).
This is not just for this week it’s for the long haul – to ensure you are adequately set up for the next 30 years so this is not an overnight process.
How you earn a crust, where you live and with whom, your values in life, your friendships – all will be under review.
You should have seen the first big signal recently of the positive changes ahead that the Cosmos has in store for you in the form of a significant victory (moral or literal), a business breakthrough, or some other major achievement. You could have positively (and successfully) wrapped up something that has consumed your time for months generating recognition and accolades. There may even have been some covert and underhanded deals that you pulled off to achieve your aims – (if there were not acceptable then this will come out in the wash eventually) you have been warned.
Whatever it is, you are presently very much in the spotlight but also take note – you are also very much accountable right now. You will be provided with the platform to state your case, just make sure there’s not a guillotine attached.
What you see is what you get – or is it. You have been reworking and remaking yourself emotionally and perhaps physically and now it’s time to join the two to make a whole. The Cosmos has been driving you to change your persona and get in touch with the real you and to not be in denial about any unsatisfactory or unworkable aspect of your life.
These changes don’t constitute a visit to the hairdresser or even the cosmetic surgeon; they are momentous and part of a major reworking of the aspects of your self that you are no longer happy with or that you feel don’t serve you well.
This is like the dawning of a new age, you take off the blinkers that you have been wearing (in some cases for years) and get very, very real. Its Saturn ruling your personal identity and both your physical and personal body becomes the main focus for the next couple of years. The great news is that when it is all over you will have a profound sense of self which you may not have presently and your personal power will be greatly enhanced. You should be excited about this because deep down you know that there has existed for a long time an imbalance about what you put in and what you get back – you are quite the martyr – or as you’d prefer to say, the peacemaker.
Those in relationships might find the setup too restricting and there can be some tension here as you explore ways in which to make it more workable. Likewise your partner might be acting in a more aggressive or demanding manner than usual that is causing you stress. The upshot though is good because through this process all of your connections will improve.
If it all gets too much at first and you need some solitude or down time, don’t deny yourself a quick break to restore the soul.
It’s time. That was a political slogan many years ago but it has deep significance for you now. It’s time to take control of your life and clean up your act. What? Your life is fine. I’m sure you are conscious of a need to review certain situations in your life whether it is your emotional life, physical life, or working life. Are you being taken advantage of by friends, family or work colleagues?
Have you been so eager to remain diplomatic and flexible and not rock the boat that you are now totally off course from where you had hope to be at this juncture? Have you turned into a complete “people pleaser” who would rather say “yes” and compromise even when you’re in the right just so that you avoid any disharmony.
All your personal interactions will improve if you find the strength you need to make the decisions you know you must and you should be “cruel to be kind” to yourself. It’s not as if you haven’t bent over backwards and been accommodating to all and sundry with little reward for your efforts is it?
Whilst it seems like a good idea at the time and you thought that it was right for you, you realize now that it isn’t. If you can’t get there yourself turn to family, a trusted friend or a shrink but whatever you do “make sure you see the light” and promote yourself and your role which is significant and refuse to play second fiddle to anyone.
The Cosmos is your friend now, giving you the support, encouragement and impetus to recognize where you’ve gone wrong and where to take action to put it right. If you are in denial about any aspect of your life, this is the moment to dig deep and find the truth. A week in a health spa alone might be a conducive environment for the necessary reflection that the Cosmos is urging you to take.
When you’re hot you’re hot and right now you are sizzling. You notice more interest in you than usual and certainly you will be more interested in collaborations of every form than going solo and will be giving lots of thought as to how to achieve this if you are not already “a deux”.
Sadly underlying this frisson is some unpleasant discord or tension that is festering. Does it help if I say that in the long run you will come out smelling like roses and be victorious? What I mean is to “be victorious” can range from getting your partner to finally understand what you want in your setup, besting some beastie at work, putting to bed some nasty gossip or getting up the courage to finally tell someone to leave.
Believe in yourself, be your usual tactful and charming Libran self but do not shy away from realities and be true to yourself. The outcomes of any actions you undertake this week will not become apparent for another few more weeks, but whatever you set in motion now will take hold and multiply so pay attention to the seeds you plant.
The key thing is to always concentrate on your own happiness and once you’ve worked out what is best for you, you owe it to yourself to implement your action plan (whether or not you’re wracked with uncertainty and doubt).
Saturn the taskmaster is driving you to refine your direction to ensure that you are on the right track so fear not.
Are you entirely happy with the image you present to the world and is the image of yourself versus how others see you on the same page. If for whatever reason over time your identity or standing within your immediate community has been eroded or harmed (for whatever reason) this is an ideal time to remake or restore your identity.
If you know deep down that there are aspects of your character, appearance or lifestyle that could and should be improved upon then it is short changing yourself to ignore or refuse to do anything about it.
If for example in a relationship (or at work) you hold a certain view as to how things should be but sense that everyone else appears to hold a different view, then it may be time to consider why. Is there a pattern of disappointments in your relationships or a sense of being “at odds” with the world?
One Libran I know has had four husbands and her view has always been “they can like it or lump it”. Another remains in relationships that offers little but they refuse to make the effort to change because of social reasons – and a fear of loneliness – until it is forced upon them.
Venus is around offering extra help in your relationships but at the same time you are going through a process of renewal and there are some major internal transformations taking place. It’s not something that you can avoid so best to work with the Cosmos now to put your best foot forward and consider carefully how and where you want these changes to take effect.
This progression ranges from the absolute minor (fine tweaking) to complete makeovers. Turn to a trusted friend or someone who has your best interests at heart if you have to for objective guidance and with Venus onside there is no better time to go in pursuit of a mate with your best foot forward.
Your life is a bit like a roller coaster, ultimate highs and ultimate lows and not a lot in between. Chaos is replaced by passion is replaced by chaotic passion. There are a lot of love affairs and drama in the life of a Libran (but usually drama that you bring on yourself). Some Librans have endured ghastly relationships for years, but eek out their passions and grace through work and friends.
You are going through quite a delightful passage this week and for a few more weeks to come. You are the oil carrier who can sprinkle oil on any troubled waters with ease, you are charm personified and everybody you meet falls under your spell.
There are two things happening this week. On the one hand you’ve had an injection of frivolity and want to get out there and socialize your little (big) heart out but at the same time someone has really peeved you and you want to get even. Well you can do both but remember if you cash in on the opportunity to do a payback or play dirty tricks on someone who has riled you, you lessen some of the fun you can be having so it’s a no brainer - let it go if you can.
This is also me-time for you, not that you are overly self-centered as a rule (well you are a tad) but normally you take care of everyone else as well. This week you are considering you and only you in all your decisions, deciding what’s going to be best for you for the long term and if that hurts someone else, well so be it.
It’s hard as a rule for you to make these kinds of decisions but from this week onwards you can with a lot more ease. A significant family concern (who holds the power in the relationship) has irked you for some time and will be dealt with over the next few weeks but you do have the advantage of your extra burst of charm to assist in diffusing this situation or a relationship that has gone off the rails.
Do not engage all and sundry (work colleagues, friends etc) in the process as a means of support or safety in numbers. Your domestic life should be kept private and once you start demeaning your partner to others, it will unravel fast and it will get back to them and can turn quite ugly.
You are embarking on a long journey of profound changes with Saturn wading through Libra for the next few years and you’ve got to learn to do the best for yourself, not only to survive but to flourish. This will entail relying on yourself much more and ending some relationships if you have to.
Well it hasn’t been the easiest of times but they’ve been interesting. What is that Chinese curse “may you live in interesting times”, yes on occasion you did feel a bit cursed or star crossed.
How you handled it all has every bearing on where you find yourself now and how sane or psychotic you feel. This week it’s all come to a bit of a head, and the clock is striking midnight. There will be changes in your interpersonal lives, the connections you have with your spouse, partner, friends, associates and work colleagues and there will be discomfort and/or heartache as a difficult decision is made - either by you or another that relates to you. Do not do any knee jerk reactions this week as you could potentially “throw the baby out with the bathwater” in one intimate relationship in particular (friend or foe). Give them the opportunity at least to make the adjustments that you feel are necessary in order for you to function as a team.
You can’t stand your freedom being compromised right now and you may very well lay any restrictions in this area at the foot of another which may not be entirely accurate or fair. Still you will be undertaking some major changes this week, full stop and whilst they will not be without repercussion you are taking these steps with a clearness of mind and heart.
You may have had an epiphany that will serve to remove some elements to your life (by your own calling) but will make way for yet another round of fascinating and interesting characters to walk right on in.
Librans so need other people, relationships are everything, and yet the Cosmos is telling you that now more than ever you must try and go it alone. You don’t have to do that literally but you must be prepared to assess yourself as a stand alone individual as opposed to being part of a group or a couple.
In the cold hard light of day what do you see without these props? Are you one half or one whole with another whole? What seemed to be perfect a few years ago may not stack up now and what you are looking at may not look as appealing to you now. You may be part of a couple and yet feel short changed romantically. Have you been holding on to the permanence of a marriage or committed relationship for all the wrong reaso
This is the time for brutal honesty and self assessment. You are being given the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start again, writing on that slate what you want, not what others may have written. It’s a new period where you can pursue your dreams and enrich your world far more than you could have ever envisaged. The landscape has changed and it’s your chance to change with it although this not without some upheaval.
In time you will develop a much healthier and more real connection to yourself, you will understand yourself intimately and honestly and follow your desires, not others. This is probably a first for you, but once you truly understand yourself, you will always understand what you need to make you happy. Do not underestimate the power this will give you and the control back over your own destiny.
Don’t be embarrassed if you’ve taken wrong paths, you can not only learn to live with that you can change and learn from these mistakes - if you have the courage to do so. Are you sacrificing your ambitions for the sake of the safety and security of a relationship? Only you can answer that.
This can either be a difficult week or a reasonable one, it up to you. Essentially how this week pans out will be in direct proportion to how you feel about yourself, how you think others perceive you and what you think others expectations of you are.
You are flat out at work, stretched to the max trying to prove to yourself and others how accomplished you are. Behind the scenes you are fretting about what they are saying and thinking about you and what you may (or may not have) been up to in your private life. Gossip and undermining is such an unpleasant thing to contend (or deal with) as it’s not direct.
Meanwhile there is most likely goings on in your private life that are more than a distraction and the nuances of this are impacting on your mental and emotional strength. Your interpersonal structures and most intimate relationships are being weighed up and are all under scrutiny and you have to decide what needs to stay and what is definitely not working. Leaving some issues unaddressed will only continue to impact on your psyche ….but you hate to contemplate the spectre of being alone - it is anathema to Librans - better a bad relationship than no relationship at all.
Connect with your trusted intimates to gain support in any areas that you need to put an end to and seek help to find solutions for your more pressing issues.
Saturn is heading into Libra shortly, which will necessitate a more mature and serious approach to your life, so you might as well start dispensing with the frivolous stuff beginning this week!
Use your innate diplomacy to complete what needs to be wrapped up as you don’t want to carry old or superfluous baggage into the next phase of your life now do you?
Tis the season to be jolly…..no it’s not Christmas but it sure as hell feels like it and you are awash with goodies from the cosmos!
Your life had done a 180 and things are really looking up – on all fronts, love life, career, new faces and places even new career horizons – overseas anyone? How’s the view from up there as you ascend the ladder of success and reach for the sky?
Life is overflowing with possibilities and there is much to look forward to….except when you stop and think!
With Mars in your 12th house, the house of accumulated consciousness it’s your repressed wishes and/or resentments that will cause you difficulties now. Depending on your past programming, you can undo yourself with self defeating behaviour and alienate the very people you want to impress.
There is even the potential for sabotage by those who want to undermine your efforts and the architect of this undoing may be a woman. I do feel you will be steering your way through some tricky situations or alternatively changing course entirely.
The best way to handle this transit is to take a load off yourself – you are your own worst critic! You don’t have to perform to any standard or meet anyone’s expectations other than your own and if these are unreasonable or excessive how are you ever going to feel good about yourself?
This transit will pass before too long so try and handle it as best you can and don’t put too much pressure on yourself or succumb to the perceived pressure.
Just bear in mind that there are many forms of success, it’s not just material ones so if the underpinnings give way for any reason it’s really not the end of the world.
I’ve just been telling Virgo how they only have a month to go before Saturn “the taskmaster” exits…unfortunately (or fortunately) depending on your priorities in life …into Libra.
There are decisions afoot. Some are minor, some major – all involve you adopting a stance on where you stand with certain individuals, albeit friends, lovers, family or workmates. In some cases it is a situation of which side of the fence do you sit, in others, more worryingly it is a case of where do they sit (let’s hope it’s not your boss!).
At any rate you don’t feel you have control over any of this, that you simply have to go with the flow and see how it all pans out. But it won’t be as simple as that. A change in job can necessitate a change in your domestic world and vice versa, cause and effect.
It may be that you have overrated your role at either work or at home (or both!) and whilst you felt that you were pivotal to the scheme of things “they can’t manage without me” others may in fact think you’re expendable. You will certainly be under the spotlight at work, so make sure that along with the “warts and all” that you demonstrate your beauty and grace under pressure – you are being inspected and assessed.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, there are potential changes afoot here also, especially if you have just assumed the status quo would be unchanging whilst not paying due attention to your partner. Could you have misread something about the situation? Alternatively it can be an ideal time to restructure your domestic set up, change the pecking order (or roles), so set the wheels in motion now.
All Librans adore socialising - you are a people person after all – and you will be busy communing, entertaining and catching up with pals - great news as its less time to dwell on any work and home politics. People do love you!
You don’t always get what you want, but you get what you need. That’s a truism for everybody although mostly it doesn’t appear that way at the time. You are certainly undergoing an “enlightening” passage, with a lot of transformational events occurring in your life.
You will look back on them in time to come and say “yes, that was for the best” (and probably are saying that now) but there is a BC and AD feel to your life events as you are entering a brave and unchartered world.
As I mentioned a few weeks back “be prepared for blast off”. Single Librans will soon enjoy an overabundance of short but profound affairs (both happy and sad) and co-habiting Librans are severing or restructuring connections.
At the very least you will be restructuring your friendships, renovating your home or moving…or closely involved in an emotional crisis of a sibling, child etc.
There will be outside impact. Other people will be manifesting your destiny or having the “impact” on you and it’s up to your to assert how and in what direction this will go.
Do you welcome someone in, get rid of them, move….
Why do I get a sense that you life is in a state of flux? You have that diplomatic charming Libran smile plastered graciously on your attractive face and yet…to quote Shakespeare you know that something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
You can feel sentiment changing, yours and others and you wonder also if they were even really there in the first place. You hate change, some are almost exhausted by it such has been the revolving door of relationships, jobs et al…and yet are you going to let fear of the unknown override the quiet dissatisfaction gnawing away at you inside?
There is empowerment (you already know that) when you move on from dead end situations as it clears the decks for new and better ones – it’s just the process that you would so love to avoid.
You don’t really feel the trust anymore do you? There could even be a degree of regret or disappointment or a frisson of something that even though you may not necessarily put your finger on it (or have the negatives) there is something that leaves you feeling uncertain and unconvinced. Could you even be embarrassed by your other half and feel that they are “not up to scratch” in some way?
So before you come over all accusatory or critical, perhaps take a breather, head away solo or á deux to a different locale or better still hang out with trusted confidantes and confide. Perhaps it is you who is feeling distant and removed and itchy footed so a change of scenery if you can swing it would be ideal.
And speaking of ideal, Librans are always the idealists and have a grass is greener mentality and often wonder “what if” or in extreme cases, rewrite history in their own minds. You are one of the signs going through a “what if” mindset currently and whilst you can’t rewrite history you can do something about the here and now.
Don’t allow your terror of being alone prevent you from hightailing it out of there if that is what you really want to do. You’re renowned for your indecisiveness so you could remain sitting on the fence indefinitely – this applies to your jobs and all interpersonal relationships. That said once you have really made up your mind it’s a different story.
You are having a convoluted time and guess what - the central issue is your bête noir, RELATIONSHIPS. The very thing you are SO good at is the one flaw that can bring you down or cause you unhappiness. It is so rare to find a totally contented Libra, there is always a small degree of boredom or uncertainly or doubt that comes into play. When you do find a perfect partner it is cause for celebration as it brings out the VERY best in you and you literally blossom.
The cosmos is making you twitchy so if you are having any pangs these will be exacerbated. Mind questions “did I make a mistake should I pull out now before it goes on for too long, or….if I pull out now, what about all the time I’ve invested” and so on.
Then we can start on friends and work colleagues, yep they are all part of the mix at the moment also. Don’t compromise you basic integrity within the office by playing any mind games whilst you are feeling a bit emotionally all over the place and don’t go making major decisions without due consideration. You know how you hate to be alone but no matter how long and hard you think about things, the cosmic climate is saying change in this regard – what is it for you? (hint, I doubt you’ll really know such is the indecisiveness of the current climate).
There is an Italian expression “if you look hard enough into the egg you will find the hair” and right now you are fixated at finding flaws and cracks in all your associations. It’s more a reflection of your current state of mind rather than any real problems although it’s not for me to say that there mightn’t be any, what I can say is that this is how you are feeling everything more intensely and you are at a loss as to what to do as it all seems a bit overwhelming.
Seek solace with friends and bounce some of your thoughts off them for perspective and if you can get away from it all by yourself even better still
Family appears to dominate your thinking at this time and the prevailing issues are partner centered and hinge on discussions such as your living arrangements, extended family members and other people in the frame. No matter what age you are you’ll be discovering some new aspect of yourself via your interaction with your partner and in the way the relationship is conducted, and this insight may be a surprise to you.
Certainly your discussions will shed a new slant on future directions. However they appear to be on the surface, they are all about motivates and trade offs - what you gain (or lose) by the connections. The outcomes won’t be without some implications although rest assured all this inner dialogue and machinations are not apparent to others.
Some Librans will be finding much bliss in sharing their lives with someone special and basking in the warm energy while others will be absolving difficult partnerships, and if this is the situation it will be a relief and probably long overdue. You no doubt put yourself out as much as humanely possible for someone only to be disillusioned in the end and this is only causing you distress and will neither resolve itself or improve.
There are certainly family related issues of one kind or another to contend for most Librans and irrespective of the nature of these, the Cosmos is telling you to stay focused on your career and day to day life and not to lose sight of your ambitions.
Any work that deals with the public or careers that are people orientated will flourish and you’ll enjoy a surge of popularity at this time; indeed you will receive support through influential channels.
It should be your aim to essentially make life more enjoyable and you will put in place (albeit slowly) the various steps required to realize that goal - which may necessarily require some adjustments along the way.
Weigh up any or all decisions carefully before you bring them into public airing as you may have second thoughts down the track.
The big news this week is Uranus entering Aries on or around Friday (depending on where you live in the world) which has not occurred since 1927 - so it is highly unlikely that you will have experienced its impact on your 7th house previously.
I’ll address the full ramifications of that in the June monthly horoscopes but know that Uranus is the planet of abrupt and unexpected change and although this won’t become obvious to you straight away (I’ll explain why next month) the time for change in the way you deal with your love life, marriage and relationships in general, is nigh.
Relationships mean so much to Librans and you spend a lot of your time thinking about them. You almost always fret that you don’t have the right partner – that is unless you do have the right one – only then are you truly at peace and happy. In fact relationships have proven such turmoil to many that they have opted for the single life with a cat.
Well be prepared for blast off.
The next few years will feature on-off love relationships, elopements and love at first sight. For single Librans it can be quite the glut of short (but profound) affairs and both happy and sad connections – star crossed lovers et al but it’s quite a happy and exciting time all the same.
For those already in relationships they are going to have to learn to be self reliant and not presume that the relationship will provide them with all their needs, emotional and financial. If you don’t learn not to lean too heavily on your partner there will be rows and possible dissatisfaction. On the upside this allows you then to let go of connections that don’t quite cut it anymore especially if you’ve sacrificed in “the name of love” too much of the real and authentic you.
By the same token if you have become complacent in a relationship - to the extent where you are almost numb with familiarity - look out for the human bazooka coming in from left field. It will be guaranteed to take your breath away.
Kiss yesterday (sic) goodbye, the sweetness and the sorry….as the song goes.
As I told you last week, learn from your mistakes and move onwards and upwards and likewise, if there is still something that still needs changing, change it now. Don’t procrastinate any longer as the situation that’s been brewing all this time is not going to spontaneously change any time soon, is it?
When is enough, enough? Work situations seem problematic and require resolution.
For those of you who are starting again (or have recently started again) make sure the framework of your relationship is sound. It is imperative that you discuss and agree on all the ground rules before you get too far long…otherwise you are just doing the same old, same old. This applies to all your personal and working relationships as there will sadly be those folk who will take advantage of you emotionally because of your sometimes incredible naïveté and gullibility.
There also remains ex’s in the picture who seem hell bent on causing discord and strive and frankly trying to make your life hell.
However….things generally should be on the up and up. Whilst you do seem at the mercy of others financially to keep the wolf from the door, you’re irrepressibility will put a positive spin on the situation which funnily enough propels you to success and your career will actually look up!
Once you have sorted out the issues that you have avoided confronting, try and squeeze in some R&R. It will do wonders for the soul and restore your essential sense of equilibrium.
You have been in a cauldron when it comes to all your relationships, trouble and strife and not a lot nice. How many times have you considered drawing a line in the sand and saying “that’s it I’ve had enough!”
You’ve dug deep and sourced a new well of oomph and continue striving to extinguish fires, and thwart takeovers and power struggles. The same old problems keep raising their ugly heads ensuring that you need to evolve new ways of dealing with them effectively.
In the main this cesspool of emotions involves existing partners and previous partners and a whole gamut of issues, especially in relation to ex lovers and ex spouses.
All this is having a major attack on your psyche and physical health not to mention your shattered self esteem. Trouble is you don’t have the time or energy to focus on you whilst you are confronting the financial, property and associated issues that require much negotiation and agreement.
You are the zodiacs diplomatic so by your very nature will be more likely to concede or ready to compromise than most - but what is being asked is not making you at all comfortable.
Chances are you’ve been there before so learn from your past mistakes.
You need to go and give yourself a big hug. Wrap your arms around your back and hold tight, better still get someone else to do it for you – a caring stranger would be ideal. Buy a dog if you can and go for long walks.
You need to nurture yourself as much as possible right now. This is because you are “on stage” and feeling vulnerable and exposed because the audience can see you warts and all. Your audience may be the workplace or a lover but you have run out of card tricks and boiled down to a case of “what you see is what you get” and you sure as hell hope that they like what they see.
A lot is rattling around your head, self doubt and uncertainty and its making you feel insecure and anxious. Your nervous tension is mounting and requires a release, perhaps a stay at a health farm if you can swing it.
You are in a problematic time and the past is back in your present. Whatever happened to you previously is impacting on your life now, affecting your thinking, actions and finances – all manner of areas. You are trying to concentrate but finding it difficult which in turn is impacting on your working life also.
New or immediate associations feel uncertain to you and they in turn feel uncomfortable about your intentions and act differently which in turn makes you suspicious of them….
Try to deal with the baggage of the past as best you can without having it intrude on your present, convey as little as possible – either by words or actions – and discretion here really is the better part of valor.
Memories of past relationships (both good and bad) will bubble up to the surface and you find yourself applying them or comparing them to your current associations. Rely on your intuition, ask yourself honest and brutal questions and listen to the answers.
You can either take flight or rely on your existential beliefs to get youthrough this process (or a stiff drink) but at the end of the day you have to come up with a solution - or a way out. Is it a yes or no?
To be or not to be, that is the question. One part of you wants to be a twosome even if you think you made up your mind that there isn’t really much future and the relationship cramps your style and space. Worse, you suspect that you are being taken for granted and even exploited….but on the other hand you can be yourself and they do know you and it’s comfortable and it’s such a drag to start again…
Evolved Librans have a wonderful relationship with themselves, have life in balance and enjoy inner peace and the rest will continue to sit on the fence or change their outlook from week to week.
However, all Librans sense that big things are building and you can do little more than wait, watch and buy time to figure out what to do next. It’s the “behind the scenes” developments that are unfolding and beware of the potential for scuttlebutt or public humiliation - or surprisingly an exposé of the good kind.
You will be in the spotlight, let’s hope it’s for a positive reason!
A typical Libras cannot imagine life without a relationship and most Librans are terrified of being alone and therefore it doesn’t take too much of a stretch to recognize that a lot of Librans remain in less-than-desirable relationships for years.
You have felt distant and estranged from others (to whom you were once quite close) for some time and whilst you are the most prepared of all the astrological signs to tolerate shortcomings in others, you have recently made the decision that those individuals who have no bearing on your life anymore must go.
This is a time of endings but also of fresh starts. Existing relationships can have a new lease of life or get taken to the next step and commitments will at last be made. Stale relationships can be jump started and dead-in-the-water relationships revived.
Past loves on pedestals will be removed from the heart and old hurts erased to make way for the new.
By the same token those relationship(s) that don’t fit into your new and improved existence or are impeding your progress will be sent packing.
Librans are happy to drift. They just coast along in life, especially in relationships because to make an issue of something might result in a confrontation which is Libran’s worst nightmare. Anything for peace. But even you know you can’t live your life like that and every now and then you have to step up to the plate and say something that might be controversial.
A spring cleaning (even in the southern hemisphere) is required and there are things that need to be said to those individuals and pursuits that no longer have any real bearing or significance in your life. There are as relevant now as a hole in the head.
When you spring clean what usually follows is that you discard the no longer relevant or useful and replace it with something new, fresh and significant which means that the former made way for the latter.
You will have a breather, not only over Easter but until June whilst Saturn takes a break from your sign. Unfortunately after June he (Saturn is male) will be back for another two years still pushing the same old barrow and that is: powerful and life altering influences that will make you work, take care of your responsibilities, and fit into society.
Use this down time to figure out the next chapter of your life and if you are on the right track Saturn will use all his heavy influence to get you there.
Normally you are exceedingly giving, but it’s time for you to focus on your needs and figure out what you want and even if there is someone else involved, try to put yourself first in the decision making process.
There will be questions and a need for clarification – this person could be a family member, a difficult person or even someone whom your regard as an adversary.
You abhor conflict and confrontations but if it means you get your message across so be it. Read last week’s horoscopes about your upcoming deep and meaningful conversation, it has to be done sooner or later.
No more self sacrificing, if it’s in your best interests, just “do it”
Two things are on the agenda – work and amour – and both areas are being affected and are undergoing change. Don’t panic, change can be productive and worthwhile so long as you are honest and forthright, no Libran chicken shit and pussy footing around for the sake of peace. Coffee or tea, tea or coffee…
Not all discussions in life are smooth, light and fun – and you have to be able to partake in serious grown up dialogue along with the odd confrontation. You will have a D&M shortly – the outcome of which (not necessarily immediately) will render you almost speechless.
Together you will decide to either rule the world (metaphorically) or move mountains – and you will - or you will have “the discussion” and part ways.
In any or all of your key relationships, the importance of being forthright cannot be understated. Throw Libran tact out the door, it will only serve to confuse the issue and delay the next step and cause you further emotional turmoil as you only have to front up again.
You know the message you want to say, it’s the saying it that is difficult. No more ambiguity and you’ll get exactly what you wanted to achieve.
Does everyone know about Saturn by now? It’s the one that gets a lot of bad press. But Saturn has a unique ability to make you feel a sense of loss and hardship, but meanwhile it is shedding you of all the unwanted and unnecessary stuff in your life.
The stuff that has no place being there and only by jettisoning it can you get back on the path that is your destiny. We all take the path less travelled by every now and then, it’s part of life.
If you kidded yourself that you didn’t really need love and that friendship would suffice, you will be feeling this big gaping hole where you heart should be and it aches – a bit like an amputated leg.
If you need to make some difficult calls, bring your Libran charm into the equation but don’t procrastinate for months (such a Libran thing) as you do need to make some fundamental changes.
You have understood for some time now that your everyday life cannot remain the same, so no more time wasting.
The only difference between a rut and a grave is its dimensions.
You are gaining greater control over your life and are passing over the threshold into a brave new world. It might take some time before you fully enter the kingdom, but you will be reigning supreme. Along the way you will be dispensing with anything or anyone who is holding you back or curtailing your independence. At this juncture you cannot afford to be waylaid by unnecessary anxieties or unexpected disturbances, no matter who or what the source.
Say farewell to all that has gone before as you move closer to fulfilling your aspirations. Ralph Waldo Emerson said “for everything you gain, you lose something else” but this time around it is of your choosing as you lay the groundwork for the next chapter of your life.
Whilst you really do hunger for liberty right now, as a Libran, relationships are crucial to your sense of happiness. Never fear, the astroscape smacks of “togetherness” so you will not be undertaking this remarkable journey alone.
When the journey starts and when it finishes it is hard to say, just remember to be kind, fair and truthful and all will be well.
In an ideal world you could be all things to all people. Science however is not that advanced as to be able to transmit you from one place to another at warp speed. Just try to be where you are needed when it’s necessary and that’s enough even in this period of super productivity.
The old days of putting your own needs first are passé but you’ve discovered that the process of helping out others and doing your duty doesn’t feel like duty at all, it’s a pleasure. You will continue to find new and innovative ways to meet your obligations and at the same time initiate a whole raft of opportunities to further your own aspirations.
It gives you great satisfaction to know how much you are wanted and needed and the future rewards for all your current efforts will be momentous and totally unexpected.
Continue working on every aspect of your personal presentation: exercise, diet, couture and you will have an especially gratifying impact on a certain someone (or two).
“A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step” said Lao Tzu the father of Taoism but he never said how long the journey should take. A tsunami has started somewhere far away and when it finally reaches you it will wash away the debris and leave a clean slate for you to write the next chapters of your life on.
Even if you are still only thinking about where your life is taking you, you won’t have a choice to do nothing.
Your career domain will be vastly different and amazing job offers and opportunities to improve your lifestyle will be popping out of the woodwork thick and fast, making you feel wanted, needed, in demand and accomplished.
There is much on your plate, but you will not only manage to fit it all in, you’ll remain cool, calm and collected - if not fragrant and well groomed to boot! A true Libran.
You’re feeling unusually tired and drained and it’s taking a huge effort to get through the week. This is Saturn in Libra which feels a bit like an invisible yoke around your neck and making you operate at less than 100%.
You’re also currently questioning your life and assessing where it is now, where you want it to go and who you want to have in it. Just remember there is lots of joy ahead and lots you can achieve. If there are any changes that need to be made to achieve your perfect life scenario, then make them - it will be liberating process and you’d do so with your usual passion.
Meanwhile you are soaring in your career, or at the very least your working life is improving. Keep an eye on your health.
Saturn in the first is not good from this perspective plus it’s possibly generating an inferiority complex. Fight it.
Yours is a double header this week. On the work front you will be dealing with patronising peers who think they know better than you do and are belittling the manner in which you are handling things. Don’t be dissuaded by the commentary, you will win out in the end.
Secondly in the realm of the heart, you know there are real problems and some fundamental issues that require attention.
Do they stem from childhood?
In fledgling relationships you have the option of implementing changes for the better, in relationships of longer standing, make the adjustments now or face the prospect of the spark simply petering out.
You will be doing everything to put yourself forward but at the same time lending a helping hand, a good balancing act and so very Libran.You are dying to put yourself out there and show the world just what you’ve got, not the time for being retiring or trying to kid people that you don’t have a healthy ego. Enter stage left and remind them of the genius they all know you to be.Hint:better to use brains than brawn/beauty (or hard work) to achieve your aims.
