Libra 23 September – 22 October

With the New Moon just barely into Scorpio today, sitting at 0°42', it’s a potent time for you, Libra, especially around your resources and values. But let’s be real, you’re likely feeling some internal tug-of-war. Your ruling planet, Venus, is currently retrograding in *your* sign, sitting at 23°36' Libra, which means you’re doing some serious re-evaluation of relationships and your own worth. It’s like the universe is holding up a mirror, asking you to really look at where you’ve been compromising yourself for the sake of peace.

That Venus retrograde is actually getting some gorgeous support today with sextiles to Mars at 22°4' Leo and Jupiter at 25°7' Leo. This is fantastic energy for re-igniting passion and expanding your horizons, but with Venus moving backwards, it’s less about charging forward and more about reconsidering past connections or opportunities. You might find yourself rethinking a creative project, a romantic entanglement, or even a friendship that hasn’t felt quite balanced lately. The Mars conjunction with Jupiter in Leo adds a fiery, expansive boost to your fifth house of self-expression and joy, hinting that you’re capable of big, bold moves – if only you could make a decision!

Here’s where it gets interesting, Libra. Mercury is also retrograde at 8°5' Scorpio, and it’s squaring Pluto in early Aquarius. This aspect is really shining a light on those conversations you’ve been avoiding, particularly around shared power dynamics or uncomfortable truths. You might be feeling a strong urge to maintain harmony, but this planetary alignment is practically *begging* you to address something that feels unequal. That Moon square to Pluto (at 2°5' orb) only amplifies the intensity, bringing out hidden resentments or power struggles in your closest connections.

So, here’s the tea: you’re probably bending over backwards to keep the peace in a situation that frankly, doesn't feel very peaceful to you. Whether it’s at work, with a loved one, or even a tricky family dynamic, your innate desire for fairness is being tested. Today, instead of sidestepping the uncomfortable truth, lean into the subtle power of Uranus trine Pluto. This deep, transformative energy, even with Uranus retrograde in Gemini, gives you a chance to subtly shift the dynamic by just speaking your truth, rather than just agreeing to keep things calm. Remember, true harmony isn't silence; it’s balanced collaboration.
