Libra (September 23 – October 22)

It’s time to travel, dear Libra. It looks like you’ll want to hop on a jet to see more of the world. With three magical heavenly bodies stacking up in your ninth house, including the new moon in Gemini, 14 degrees, the Sun, and your ruler, Venus, all in signs divinely compatible with your Libra Sun, it will hard to sit still. Your ninth house will be lit – an intellectual, probing, and adventuresome part of your chart – so you’ll feel a need to breathe free, to learn new things, and to debate all that you learn with the person near you who has become your favorite sounding board, your significant other or best friend. Don’t worry about your career – that will heat up in July, so by leaving town now, you’ll be refreshed and relaxed by the time you are needed to make decisions at home or at work. For now, spin your compass and choose a place to go.
Admittedly, this new moon creates a box pattern called a Grand Mutable Cross, where planets will be squaring off. The Sun, new moon and Venus will be at 90 degrees to Neptune, opposing Saturn at 180 degrees, and in 90-degree conflict to Jupiter. (Jupiter, as the Great benefic, never brings affliction so we are not so concerned about Jupiter. Astrologers call this a mutable cross because all the affected planets will be in mutable signs: Gemini (The Sun, new moon, and Venus); Virgo (Jupiter); Sagittarius (Saturn), and Pisces (Neptune). Of the difficult planets involved with this deadlock of planets that all seem to be saying, “Don’t ask me to do it – ask him!” Saturn will be the most concerning.
Two days before the new moon arrives, Saturn will oppose the Sun to exact degree on June 2, making for a depressing time. This is an emotionally heavy aspect, when fire (the Sun) meets ice (Saturn) in a toe-to-toe confrontation. It will be easy to become overly sensitive to criticism. Intellectually it appears you and someone near will not be on the same page, and differences in opinion could rile you up (or deflate you) in a way you’ve not seen in recent memory. This person might be a friend (the Sun rules your solar eleventh house of friendship) or a family member (Saturn rules your solar fourth house of home and family). Needless to say, this is no day for a debate – your opinions are best kept to yourself. Things might work out in another, opposite way, however, in that you may become very concerned about the health of a friend, sibling (Saturn is in your solar third house, ruling sisters and brothers), or your parent.
A third translation of this aspect June 2, Saturn opposed to the Sun, could be that you will have difficulties and frustrations in travel, with delayed flights, or if driving, a flat tire, or be given a wrong address that leads you in the wrong direction. These are just a few examples, so you might want to choose another day to hit the road. This will be a Thursday, so you can’t quite hide under the bed, so you might as well live normally and simply deal with anything that comes up.
Two days later, on the new moon June 4, Saturn will oppose the new moon and Venus, your ruler. Saturn will be based in your third house of siblings, so you might have an altercation with your sibling or with a neighbor. Although the new moon’s appearance shows opportunities to travel, Saturn keeps creating obstacles or second thoughts about the wisdom of taking a getaway at this time. The moon is the natural ruler of your solar tenth house of profession and industry status, and again, on June 4, an interview might not go exactly to plan. Give a few days space and pick June 8 or 9 for your interview.
A mutable cross, which is going on in the sky at the time of the new moon early in the month (as I described earlier), is the simplest one to cure – you can untangle things by communicating with soft words, not harsh ones. Be open to listening others’ ideas and opinions, for you may learn something interesting. At least give others the honor of hearing them out.
If your birthday falls on October 6, this new moon of June 4 will be highly compatible mathematically with your Sun sign, and despite the crosscurrents of this new moon, you will benefit from it. Allow a plus or minus five days; the closer the new moon falls, the greater the effect and the more powerfully it will help you. The same is true if you have Libra rising 14 degrees, or a natal planet in Libra, Gemini, or Aquarius at the same degree, and in all cases, plus or minus five degrees of 14 degrees.
Yet at the same time, in early June, remarkably, a supremely harmonious Grand Earth Trine will appear in the sky, which means that three planets will be in supreme harmony with each other, all in earth signs. They include Mercury in Taurus, filling your solar eighth house of other people’s money; Pluto in your home and other property sector (your solar fourth house); and Jupiter, behind the scenes in your confidentiality sector (your solar twelfth house). This tells me that you may have a renovation project ongoing at your main residence or other property you might own, or you may be planning to buy, sell, or rent – this is a lucky area for you, and things will go exceedingly well. Earth signs produce tangible, harmonious results, so you’ll be pleased.
If you need funding to start your home-related project, say, in terms of a loan or line of credit, or you may now want to secure a mortgage with attractive terms – you can get it. Perhaps the reason that you might not want to travel is that too much will be going on at home. If nothing is going on at home yet, things might happen soon. Perhaps you would like to institute plans, but have not found the right moment – now you have it, in early June while these three heavenly bodies will join hands in a sublime triangular pattern to help you. This could also be the reason I see you spending quite a bit of money in June – home-related project are often expensive.
This is such a fortunate time for you to think about property matters, for there is still ANOTHER reason for you to move ahead now with your plans. On June 26, Pluto and Jupiter, two powerhouse planets linked to big money and financing, will send each another glittering vibration. This is a rare-as-diamonds type of aspect, linking your fourth house of home, where Pluto is based, to Jupiter. Good fortune Jupiter is currently based in your confidential twelfth house, so perhaps you know the identity of the person who wants to help you financially, and if so, you will be asked to keep that person’s involvement secret. Or, it may be that a family member will want to help you, perhaps with a sum of cash for a down payment on a house, but will ask that you not tell the other family members, as one or two family members might get jealous. On June 26, Pluto will take the goodness of Jupiter and multiply Jupiter’s good fortune and propensity for growth many times over. Both are highly financial planets, so this is a great time for appreciating the value of your house or condo, and for seeing success. Of course, you will have to do your research, but if you and your advisor agree, act on that property matter at the end of June. Keep in mind these planets move very slowly, so you will feel the glow before and after this date.
If you are to purchase, sell, or lease property or expensive furniture, see if you can wait until AFTER Mars goes direct June 29 to conclude the deal. If you can wait to buy a car, do, as Mars rules machines of all kinds, while his brother Mercury, rules electronics. Mercury WAS retrograde last month but as of May 22 went direct.
Mars has been retrograde since April 17, and, as said, will continue to retrograde to the end of this month, June 29. Having to deal with a weak, retrograde Mars for so long has been difficult for everyone, as when Mars sleeps, he withholds his greatest powers. Mars rules courage, passion, drive, and all competitive situations – you need Mars to stand out and excel in any competitive situation.
Now let’s backtrack to the third week of the month, to the full moon, June 20. Again, your third house will be lit, and again, the emphasis – and the opportunity – will involve travel, your sibling or a writing / publishing / broadcasting project. If you are negotiating a deal, it will come to fullness at this time. If you are asked to sign papers now, you can, but I would rather you ask to wait until July 1 to do so. I say that because on July 1, Venus is your ruler and will be in sublime angle to happiness planet Jupiter. Sometimes we can’t delay because we risk losing the entire deal, so if that describes your situation, then by all means sign. I am splitting tiny hairs here!
Now let’s turn to romance. The first part of June will be your best, for Venus will glide through Gemini until June 17, and that’s one of the best places for Venus to be to bring you lasting love. That will also be a glorious time for you to buy yourself new clothes, seek advice from your hair stylist, and generally do things to refresh your look. You’ll feel confident and attractive, and you will be, too!
Your happiest weekend of love and fun will be June 11-June 12, when the Sun and surprise-a-minute Uranus, the natural ruler of your house of true love, will be in perfect sync. The Sun is the natural ruler of your friendship house, so certainly you’ll be with your friends, and everyone will be in a jovial, happy-go-lucky mood. On Saturday, the moon will conjoin Jupiter, the good fortune planet. By Sunday of this weekend, June 12, the transiting moon will be in Libra. The stage is set for a glorious time. It matters not if you are single or attached – this weekend is for you. If you are invited to a party or wedding, go, for you will sparkle brightly, and if single you might meet someone new and very intriguing.
