Libra 23 September – 22 October

That craving for harmony, dear Libra, is truly getting a workout today. With your ruling planet, Venus, still gracing your own sign at 28° Libra, you’re feeling extra sensitive to relational dynamics. However, the exact square Venus is making to retrograde Pluto in early Aquarius, coupled with the Moon’s exact square to Venus later this evening, suggests that some deep-seated power imbalances or unacknowledged truths are bubbling to the surface. It’s like the universe is saying, "Tea’s ready, and it’s a bit lukewarm if you’re still trying to keep everyone happy."

You might find yourself trying to smooth things over or avoid conflict, especially with the Sun and Mercury both in Virgo pushing you towards meticulous planning and careful communication. But here’s the rub, Libra: the Moon in the middle degrees of fiery Leo, making an exact opposition to retrograde Pluto, means that an unresolved issue or a boundary you’ve been too hesitant to set is demanding attention. It’s not about being aggressive, but rather about honouring your cardinal air energy and initiating a conversation that needs to happen, even if it feels uncomfortable.

The energy from Jupiter in Leo trining retrograde Saturn in early Aries offers a chance to build something solid and long-lasting, but only if you’re willing to confront what’s holding you back. This could be in a work scenario where you’ve been carrying more than your fair share, or a personal relationship where you’ve been putting someone else’s comfort above your own. That subtle Moon trine to retrograde Neptune in early Aries suggests a spiritual clarity around what true fairness looks like for you, so trust your intuition on this one.

Don’t get caught in the trap of overthinking or trying to perfectly phrase everything, Libra. While Mercury in late Virgo is brilliant for analysis, the pervasive retrograde energy from Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto is asking you to feel your way through. Use your natural ability to see all sides, but this time, prioritise your own side too. You’re not abandoning your quest for balance; you’re simply re-calibrating it to include your own needs more prominently.
