Libra Weekly Horoscope

This week is bringing your finances up for review, Libra.! Messenger Mercury has spent the last couple of weeks spinning through your sign; this is normally a great time for coming up with new concepts and crystalizing projects, but, there is a shift overhead on the 30th as Mercury waves goodbye and dives into secretive Scorpio and your grounded 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Wealth for an extended tour. During this cycle, business opportunities will present themselves with more frequency than usual, so if you’ve been on the lookout to increase your net worth this would be the time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. You may also figure out new ways to make better use of the money you already have, but before you begin implementing any plans, you would be wise to hold your horses and take stock of the situation. You see, Mercury is going to turn retrograde at the end of October and will continue backtracking through this sector until November 13th, during which time you will want to stick to a tight budget and avoid taking on any new jobs, as overspending or bad business deals will be more likely than usual. The events that arise until then will give you a preview of what will come up for review during the retrograde cycle, so move carefully for the time being.

Speaking of retrogrades, alluring Venus, the Goddess of Love and Money, begins her own retrograde cycle on the 3rd, also in Scorpio and your income sector, and will remain here until late October when she will back up into Libra for the remainder of the retrograde, eventually turning direct on November 13th, the same day as Mercury. In the meantime, you want to avoid any unnecessary spending, because buyer’s remorse is much more likely than usual while Venus is asleep at the wheel, and you will want to stick to a budget as best you can. Since Venus is your ruler, you are likely to feel this cycle more than most, so don’t be entirely shocked if your spark seems dimmed for the moment; the key here is to find comfort and even pleasure in the things you already have, and the charms you already possess, so don’t think you need to transform yourself or spend a ridiculous amount to feel something, certainly not now, anyway.

Last but not least, Sunday features the annual opposition between the primal Sun, currently moving through your sign and your 1st House, and karmic Saturn, currently moving through Aries and your 7th House of Partnerships and Contracts until April of 2028. A lover, professional partner, or even a close friend could create some drama on this day, hitting the brakes on what you thought was a good time. If there needs to be some heart-to-hearts or some time apart then take whatever time you need in order to feel better about the situation. Saturn doesn’t just bring problems, but solutions, too.
