This is another powerful month for you, Libra. You are meditating on where your life is leading you while at the same time, swinging for the outfield, really going for what you most deeply believe. You have been going through an introspective time. The retrograde of Mercury through your sign, beginning on September 17th, initiates a continuation of this inner work, when you are even more completely caught up in life direction and what your sense of identity actually means. As you navigate these intense currents, your intuition is vitally important. The information that comes to you could be disguised as thoughts, or as dreams, or daytime dream visions, or possibly as suggestions from dependable partners. It is in any case there for you to pick up on, just when you need it the most, provided that you are willing to trust in the universe to deliver to you its truth.
As the month begins, you are feeling into new modes of being, treating with ultimate seriousness the underside of your personality as revealed in dreams and subtle meditations, while simultaneously downplaying the more obvious surface layers of the manifest everyday world. This idea of looking more closely into your own unconscious process is in perfect symbolic chime with the Leo New Moon from the middle of the previous month, which took place in your sector of societal connection and future plans, and in conjunction with the retrograde manifestation of your ruler, Venus. As you chart a course to a more livable future, you are looking under the covers of your motivation in all things and, in particular, your relationship modalities. The spiritually diffuse and numinous qualities of Neptune, located in your intimacy sector, are highlighted in recent lunations and in the current month as well, so that you are feeling extremely sensitive to your underground relationship needs, and as well to the energy of others.
The Venus retrograde period that has been unfolding over the past few weeks has had you in deep consideration of your relating realms, and in your sense of belonging to community, or to society in general. Venus will be stationing direct on September 6th, and the days surrounding this first weekend of the month will be another sensitive time of great inner awareness.
Just eleven days later, on September 17th, mentally curious Mercury will begin its retrograde journey through your sign, after stationing retrograde in sextile aspect to your ruler, Venus. This indicates the next stage of an internal journey, where you are discovering, in curious and unexpected ways, about how you relate to the world around you. You might find yourself looking inwardly this month at how your identity has been shaped and molded by your tribe and your connection to your culture. If it is true, as is said, that the world around us is a reflection of our thoughts and intentions, then these perceptions of reality are taking you on a magical ride to greater wisdom and internal understanding. Over the course of this monthly journey, your exterior circumstances may provide extra-clear and unflinching insights, perhaps unexpected realizations that could guide your way into greater wholeness. What could be dismissed as events outside of yourself, over which you have no control, could perhaps become recognized as correlations to your own inner world.
As the profoundly transformational qualities of these times continue, and, this month, your process of foundational change in your psyche and personhood are heightened, you will want to make the best of your opportunities by staying as alert as possible to your many changes. This is in symbolic chime with the timing of the New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th and the subsequent retrograde of the 17th because Mercury, as it stations, makes a square aspect to the metamorphosis represented by a stationing Pluto. Perhaps your beliefs about partnership and other important areas have become in some way rigid; and if so, then new realizations are likely.
Your Libra energy is generally seen as having peacekeeping and diplomatic qualities, and while this is all to the good, you might choose this month to make some experiments and to take a few more risks in this area — even setting the iconic scales the represent your sign off-kilter momentarily, to see what new freedoms can be gained from speaking your mind with passion and fervor. What would it be like to express what's true for you with a bit more candor, rather than filtering your words through the diplomat's mindset?
As you face the unfamiliar and somewhat volatile landscape that this month is offering, the effects of facing fears and fostering evolution in your own being will likely reward you in subtle, yet incredibly satisfying ways. With Jupiter recently entering Virgo, and the Solar Eclipse New Moon in your twelfth solar sector, any step in the right direction, and especially one that truly serves your deepest evolution, will reverberate with gusto and optimism through all the compartments of your psyche. This includes those parts of yourself that you cannot directly see, but that you can feel. When you are acting out of alignment or integrity with your ideals, you will feel it. When you make even the tiniest step towards the refinement of your growth and positive transformation, you will radiate with happiness and joy. Finding the balance between pushing your comfort zone, versus simply following the good vibrations within you, can be a tricky tightrope to walk, yet bridging the gap between these could be your ticket to taking your life and capacity for loving to the next level.
