This article takes a look at the month ahead astrologically for Libra and Scorpio. Empower your life through the wisdom of the stars!
This month Libra, you’ll be glad to know that career and professional pursuits are gearing up again to move full steam ahead! On the 9th Mercury, the planet of communication will turn direct in your 10th house of career and any stalled negotiations or contracts will pick up and be clarified. Then the New Moon on the 14th also hits your 10th house of career providing you with an additional celestial boost to all professional matters. This is a great time to start a new business venture or promote yourself publicly. You may receive free publicity. The best time to initiate these endeavors is between the 14th and the 20th.
Venus, your planetary ruler and the domain of love, beauty and money will turn retrograde on the 27th and remain so until 9/8. This will inhibit your powers of attraction and grace as well as your personal energy. It is likely to affect your relationships with friends, groups and organizations – potentially making you less popular during this time. I know this is not something a Libra wants to hear but the lesson during a Venus retrograde is even more important for you since she’s your ruler. Repeat this mantra often during these coming weeks “What other’s think of me is none of my business.”
Dear Libra you are so sensitive to what others think of you and gaining their approval and perhaps this is a test of the universe to help you realize it’s simply not worth expending the energy to please everyone else at the expense of yourself. Once again, you are called to find balance.
In addition to this, money earned from career may be stalled until after 9/8 so it’s not the best time to ask for a raise. The Full Moon on the 29th will bring an important matter with a child to culmination. There is also the potential for a love affair to end.
Mercury will turn direct in your 9th house of higher learning, long distance travel and spirituality on the 9th. A few days later, you receive a New Moon to the same house on the 14th. This combined energy is fabulous for initiating travel plans or applying to a university or advanced certification course.
You’ll make a major financial decision in June and your resources make you struggle with your inner net worth. In the midst of this struggle, you’re likely to receive a financial gift. On the 27th, Venus the planet of love, beauty and money will turn retrograde in your 10th house of career. This may severely lessen your public appeal until after 9/8 so it’s not wise to propel yourself forward to actively in career matters. In addition your personal self worth based on your reputation and honor will require serious examination.
Don’t start any new business ventures until after Venus turns direct again in September. You will not succeed with this energy aligned with Saturn in your 10th. When Venus turns direct however it’s a brilliant time for you to proceed. Wait until mid October for your best results.
The Full Moon on the 29th activates the strong potential for an ending to a home or family matter such as a real estate deal closing or an end to a personal matter in your life. You may have a psychic experience.
