“Mercury and Venus will both be moving into Libra today. Mercury moves out of his home sign of Virgo and Venus moves into her home sign of Libra. The Sun will soon join them on September 23. As more and more planets pack into Libra, our desire will be to find balance and harmony with others. The challenge will be to not lose ourself and neglect our needs over anothers’”
Mercury moves into Libra
Mercury in Libra is charming, playful, witty, and intellectual. This mental planet is at home in the Air Sign of Libra. Always looking for new information to share with others, and new ways to create harmony in one’s environment that will directly affect those around them. Mercury in Libra turns our thoughts and attention towards getting and keeping things in balance. The intention behind our communication becomes about keeping harmony and finding balance and peace.
The challenge here is that Mercury in Libra will go at lengths to keep things peaceful, that conflict may be avoided at all costs. This people-pleasing tendency is likely to backfire. Resentments build, the very thing you’re avoiding, conflict, is exactly what might end up happening.
Venus moves into Libra
Right on the heels of Mercury, Venus moves into her home sign of Libra. She’s happy here, just like Mercury in Libra, she’s ready for relating, loving, connecting, conversing. She desires harmony and to create beauty and balance in her life through her relationships. She’s charming and flirtatious, but not in the sexy Leo sort of way. More in a “I’m everybody’s friend” sort of way. She gets along with everyone, finding something in common with each different person she meets. The challenge again is losing herself and neglecting her needs in order to keep the peace and harmony.
These are the challenges with a Libra heavy chart. Relationships become the focus and we get to practice finding balance with conflicting needs. Navigating this requires compassion and the ability to see another’s perspective. When we can get clear on our own needs while seeing the other side of the coin, much can be learned. Connection requires respect and empathy.
