Libra Weekly Horoscope

This week brings a lot of relief your way, Libra. There is a lot of focus on financial matters on the 9th, when the annual Scorpio New Moon illuminates your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Security, opening a fresh window of manifestation for you. If this year has been lacking on material gains, this lunation could see some chances to change that up finally winging their way to you. Granted, with Mercury still retrograde in this sector, it couldn’t hurt to take your time strategizing for the next week or so, and to focus on potential plans, then once Mercury turns direct, you can begin to implement them with more efficiency, knowing there will be few potholes for you to trip over.

Fortunately, you only have to wait a few days for this to happen. It would be entirely understandable if money matters have been causing you plenty of confusion over the last few weeks as messenger Mercury retrograded through Scorpio and your income-focused 2nd House. This transit can always create issues with regards to your finances, so hopefully you managed to weather the storm without too many problems coming your way. Now, however, the skies overhead are bright and blue as Mercury wakes up from his snooze fest and resumes forward motion on the 13th, once again giving you the galactic green light to surge ahead with your grand ideas. This is a good time to look for new ways to increase your net worth, whether through a new gig or investing what you already have, so pursue the abundance you desire because it will be easier to achieve, especially now that you have learned the lessons Mercury needed to teach you.

There is one more wonderful change on the 13th, as your ruler, romantic Venus, turns direct after six weeks of spinning backwards in retrograde formation. It is difficult enough to make yourself feel attractive or to get someone else to find you attractive during this buzz-killing transit, but the fact that Venus happened to spend half this cycle sleeping in your sign and your 1st House of Self-Expression only made it all the more difficult to get your romantic message across.

Singles would have found it almost impossible to make anything happen, at least anything with a serious future to it. As for couples, trying to work on your relationship might have felt like pounding on a brick wall, hoping for a door to open up. Well, neither of those things were going to be very fruitful while Venus was taking her extended snooze fest, but now that she is getting back to her old self you should start to see progress once again.

It will take almost a full month for Venus to get back to where she was when this retrograde phase started, so don’t expect things to change overnight; problems you encountered during the retrograde phase should begin to smooth themselves out during this time, but any major new opportunities likely won’t come around until mid-December, when Venus will finally embark on entirely new territory.
