A Week of Total Reset

Wild horses won’t keep you inside this week, Libra, or should I say a pack of unruly lions? The sky is filled with Leo, which activates your party, collaboration and friendships zone. Oh, and also your manifesting too. You’re likely to be carousing here, there and everywhere, but remember, this is a week of total reset and plot change. You are entering a new era where you’ll start to ditch any insecurities about being in a crowd, find your place in the Universe and hopefully have one of your manifesting memos received and delivered.

✦ ✦ ✦

The Grand Letting Go

Here’s the catch: to benefit from this week, there is a grand letting go. Even if you don’t want to, you’ll see what you have to surrender to move on. The South Node, which is our karmic release button, has switched on in Leo. The Solar Eclipse is taking you through your shadows and fears so you can feel safe in the world and part of the whole.

Ask Yourself

How comfortable are you in a crowd? Which groups of friends uplift you? Have you changed your philosophical or political beliefs lately? Shifts in these areas are likely.

Venus Has Your Back

You, darling Libra, you have an Ace of Cups card up your sleeve! Venus, your ruler, is backing you all the way. She’s tussling with Neptune in your relationships zone to help you see things clearly, and is trine Pluto in your pleasure zone. A loving experience is going to help you through and it will be a real one.

Mars Enters Cancer

Mars is also entering Cancer, but we barely notice it at first. Mars is powering your achievement and reputation. Over the coming weeks you get stronger. You find it easier to push yourself forward and speak your mind. Even if you have to fight for it, your energy levels are restored enough to win.

Closing the Week

When the Solar Eclipse arrives, trust the process. When it’s gone, Mercury hooks up with Venus in your sign, delivering interesting and beneficial news. Finally, Mercury conjuncts Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, so make your wish. It might just arrive with same-day delivery.

In a Nutshell

It’s a big week, Libra. Mercury moves into Leo on the 9th, lighting up your eleventh house of friendship, community and manifesting. Venus trines Pluto and opposes Neptune on the 10th, stirring both pleasure and relationships, while Mars enters Cancer on the 11th, building on your reputation. The solar eclipse arrives on the 12th, asking what you’re ready to let go of to feel part of the whole. Mercury sextiles Venus on the 13th, and by the 15th it conjuncts Jupiter for a real stroke of luck, arriving right on time.
