LIBRA

Mercury spends almost ten weeks in your sign instead of the usual three or four weeks and this is due to its retrograde motion. If you have been involved in negotiations or contracts use the next two weeks to go over the finer details.

SCORPIO

Your two rulers Mars and Pluto are in friendly alliance at the moment and although you may be unclear about what it is you want to do examine yourself until your objectives become clear.

SAGITTARIUS

Mercury’s continual stay in your solar eleventh house due to retrograde motion indicates that the next two weeks could be well spent reflecting on your goals and expectations in life.

CAPRICORN

Interaction with your parents may take on more significance over the next three weeks. This can come about as you simply relax and spend more time in their company or you are negotiating on their behalf.

AQUARIUS

With a stellium of planets in your solar ninth house you can’t be blamed if your thoughts and actions are centred solely on where to go for your next holiday. Overseas is looking good.

PISCES

Wishing, and hoping, and dreaming seems to be the tune for you this week as Mercury’s retrograde motion continues to connect with your ruler Neptune. Use this introspective time for some self-analysis.

ARIES

Mars and Pluto, your two ruling planets are in sync this week so it is a great time to pluck up your courage and work through any existing relationship hassles. The bond between you will be strengthened.

TAURUS

Venus has moved into your opposite sign of Scorpio so you can expect things on the relationship front to heat up a little. Scorpio likes a little drama; it adds passion to the making up.

GEMINI

Those twins who have teenagers may be confronted by their rebellious attitude this week and it is probably pointless trying to communicate. You may take an unpopular view this week even playing the devils advocate causing upset.

CANCER

Your energy levels receive a boost this week so if you have been putting aside any tasks, particularly around the home front you can tackle them now. Don’t be tempted to take on more than you can handle though.

LEO

Mercury’s retrograde movement through your solar third house may leave you open to miscommunications so is not a good time to make important decisions. Also car repairs should be held off if possible for a few weeks yet otherwise expect delays.

VIRGO

You may experience difficulties cooperating with others this week particularly in the work arena. This may be due to a lack of adaptability on your part or simply an unwillingness to bend.

New moon at 6 Libra 33

The New Moon on Monday 29th September at 6:12pm is in the sign of Libra indicating the timing is right for us to reflect on our relationships. This is a potent time for promoting new beginnings whether in an existing relationship or a relationship just starting out. Those seeds of intent, planted now, fall on rich ground.

This New Moon is a movement from Virgoan earth that is a pragmatic yin sign liking to deal with concrete or known facts. Whereas Libra, an air and yang sign, is energised and stimulated by other people making them particularly relationship oriented with a need to share ideas and experiences. Libra encourages equality as do all the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) reminding us of the process of linking, connecting, bridging as well as duality and polarity.

Become conscious of how you give and receive support; of how you attract or deflect the attention of others; is your co-operation with others healthy of appeasing? Do you want to become more sociable, interacting more? Become more tactful and courteous? In a nutshell how can you make your relationships more mutually satisfying?

This New Moon squares off to Jupiter, planet of opportunity but also of excess. Provided a disciplined approach is used you can become energized and motivated to make any needed adjustments and to move ahead. Libra, ruled by Venus also has a love of beauty and beautiful things so extravagance can be a real temptation.
