Libra Weekly Horoscope

You may find yourself constantly looking over your shoulder or in the rearview mirror this week, Libra. Messenger Mercury has been encouraging you to turn yourself into a lean, green, efficiency machine ever since it entered Pisces and your 6th House of Daily Work and Wellness several weeks ago. This is always a great time to get your life in order, but this transit is going to be a little scrambled starting on the 26th thanks to the cosmic communicator backstroking in retrograde motion until March 20th. The most important thing to remember during the next three weeks is to avoid engaging in any new work projects; during retrogrades we need to return to things we’ve already initiated, so rather than forging ahead you should really forge behind.

That being said, since the 6th House rules a lot of your daily life, expect the cracks to show and things to fall through them; there’s little room for perfection right now but a lot for improvements. Health matters could also come up for inspection, but if something serious occurs it would be wise to get a second opinion before you get carried away with an entirely new approach to life; this sector favors small changes over big ones, so the last thing you need to do is completely reboot your daily schedule.

The 27th bring something different entirely; Mars, the planet of passion and action, is currently hanging out in Aquarius and your fun-loving 5th House of Passion and Creativity, and while this sounds like fun and games, on this day it will be reaching out to form a difficult angle with rebellious Uranus in Taurus and your private 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding, sending out several shockwaves across the sky. It might be extremely difficult to establish a comfortable balance between the personal and the public, or perhaps a relationship hits a rough patch as you try to figure out what each of you want from the connection. The 5th House is all about living out loud, preferably in the spotlight, while the 8th House wants to keep things as secretive as possible, so you will need to work extra hard if you want to find common ground.

Finally, on the 28th, Mercury and Venus will conjoin in your efficient 6th House, helping ease tensions and adding a touch of grace and pleasantness to your basic routines. If you have a lot of chores on your plate, Venus can help you power through them without feeling like you’re pulling teeth, but remember that with Mercury currently retrograde you would do best to focus on wrapping up old projects and tasks, as opposed to starting anything new. Co-workers or clients could be especially helpful at this time, and take some of the work off your plate. The 6th House also deals with your health, so this may be a good time for a check-up or to focus on reinvigorating your wellness routine.
