Libra 23 September – 22 October

With the Sun beaming bright at 21° Libra today, your innate desire for balance and fairness is absolutely front and centre, darling Libra. You’re feeling those harmonious vibes, especially with the Sun making an exact sextile to Jupiter in Leo. This cosmic thumbs-up gives you a wonderful boost of optimism and a knack for seeing the bigger, brighter picture in your relationships and creative pursuits. It’s like the universe is saying, "Go on, make some magic happen!"

However, let’s spill a little tea, shall we? Your ruling planet, Venus, is currently retrograde at 5° Scorpio, creating a pretty tight square to Pluto in Aquarius. This aspect is definitely stirring the pot when it comes to your deepest values and perhaps some hidden power dynamics in your connections. You might be finding yourself pondering what you truly want versus what you’re willing to settle for to keep the peace. As a Cardinal Air sign, you’re always striving for equilibrium, but right now, Venus retrograde is asking you to dig a little deeper into *why* you’re making certain concessions.

The Moon in early Sagittarius, waxing crescent and moving through a lovely trine to both Mars in Leo and Saturn retrograde in Aries, is giving you a push to speak your truth, even if it feels a bit uncomfortable. While you’re usually one to avoid confrontation, this energy encourages you to find your voice. Is there a conversation you've been putting off, perhaps at work where you feel the scales aren't quite even, or in a personal relationship where you’re bending over backwards? Now’s the time to address it. Your capacity for diplomacy is high, but don’t let it morph into people-pleasing at your own expense.

Later today, as Mercury in Scorpio squares Jupiter, be mindful of overthinking or getting stuck in a loop of analysis paralysis. Your natural Libra tendency to weigh every single option can be heightened. Instead of intellectualising everything, tap into that fiery Mars energy in Leo — it’s trining Saturn, giving you the courage and discipline to take a decisive step. What do you truly believe is fair? Trust that instinct.
