The Fall / Autumnal Equinox arrives the same day as the Sun saunters into Libra on Friday September 23, 2011. Relationships of all types are now in the forefront – family, friends, marriages, business partners. It’s fun to be with people, to chat, flirt, laugh. The 7th sign of the Zodiac, ruled by Venus, loves beautiful things, wants to be in the midst of music, art and charm filled situations – wants all the good stuff to warm and lift the spirits. My suggestion for anything Libran is always: meet some fun folks for brunch!
Even if it isn’t your Sun or Rising sign, Libra will still cast a glow of congeniality. It’s all about socializing, networking, getting along. There will be cooperation – great time to ask for a raise? build a group of volunteers?
If you have any plans for Tuesday 9/27 – it should be a stellar day. By the time the Libra New Moon occurs early in the morning, there will be 5 planets residing in this Air sign – Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Sun and Moon (The Lunar orb in its “New” phase makes it even more potent). Libra’s traits should be powered up and enhanced. Not necessarily a “Kumbiyah” moment – but certainly one in which the joy and solidarity of partnership can be embraced by all of us.
Saturn, the task master, the teacher of life lessons (I still refer to it as the Castor Oil of planets), will be in Libra until October 2012. Is there work to be done with those that are held close or at a distance? Are we going to pretend to be “surprised” if a hitch in a relationship shows up, or will we admit that we saw “it” coming? Saturn can reveal, make us look. Tough scrutiny will give an opportunity to get back on track – a good thing. A situation may get healthier, after taking the medicine, regardless of how awful the taste.
The Libra way is to see both sides of an issue before making decisions. Seeking harmony by trying to be “fair” can sometimes lead to appearing wishy-washy. Using the “Pros/Cons” list method for making decisions can just string the selection process out. Be aware that important action can be stalled by over think. Paying attention to instinct and being honest will give a more direct line to a choice. Don’t hesitate to show your spine when needed (some may be surprised when Libra’s inner tensile strength is revealed), you’ll still be loved!
Libra – Gemstone: Adventurine * Power colors: Blues and violets
FYI : Sun into Libra 9/23 at 5:05AM Eastern / 2:05 AM Pacific. (Next up – Scorpio, 10/23)
The Scale is Libra’s Zodiac symbol. (All other signs are either people or animals)
Friday October 14, 2011 is Taurus Moon all day. Venus rules this sensuous yet finance concerned Earth sign along with our current Sun – Airy, beauty loving Libra. Choices to be made? Either tackling that bank statement, or indulging yourself with delicious, chocolate dipped strawberries. Remember, not all things are either/or. “AND” can often work very well too 🙂
