Libra 23 September – 22 October

With the Moon sitting right in Libra today at 18 degrees, conjunct your ruler Venus at 9 degrees, you’re feeling everything amplified, aren't you? This Waxing Crescent Moon is putting a spotlight on your relationships and how you show up in them. Venus, your ruling planet, is also in Libra, giving you that extra dose of charm and a craving for all things beautiful and balanced. Yet, there’s a little undercurrent of tension that's urging you to look beyond the surface.

Mercury and Jupiter are both holding court in the middle degrees of fiery Leo, forming a delightful Sextile to Venus in your sign. This means your ideas are expansive, and you’re communicating with warmth and enthusiasm. It’s a great day for socialising and sharing your perspective. However, here’s the tea, Libra: your innate desire for harmony, while a beautiful trait, might be causing you to gloss over some crucial details, especially in conversations. With the Moon Opposition Saturn (retrograde in Aries) and Venus also Opposition Saturn, you might be feeling a push-pull between what you want to say and what you think others want to hear.

That retrograding Saturn at 14 degrees Aries is asking you to stand firm, even if it feels uncomfortable. Are you perhaps bending over backwards to keep a work situation peaceful, or avoiding a difficult conversation with a mate because you dread the potential friction? Today, Mars in early Cancer is Square Neptune (retrograde in Aries), which could make you feel a bit hazy about where you stand or if you’re being too passive. You might be idealising a situation or person, missing the real dynamic at play.

This Air sign energy of yours, Libra, needs to ground itself in truth today. Uranus in early Gemini is Trine Pluto (retrograde in Aquarius), encouraging revolutionary thinking and a willingness to shake things up for the greater good. Don't shy away from expressing your authentic feelings, even if it means a momentary ripple in the pond. By the evening, as the Moon continues its journey through your sign, that clarity will feel truly liberating.
