LIBRA
The Scales: (Sept 22 — Oct. 22)
Changes may be occurring in your primary relationship. One or the other of you is probably trying to hang onto what is familiar. Transformation must be allowed to happen or the relationship will become stale. Let things flow naturally.
For All Signs: The times are tense and we have an annular eclipse of the sun to punctuate that fact. It occurs on the 22nd at 7:45am EDT. This eclipse in Virgo represents a crisis/change period for the earth, which generously gives Her all to us. “Crisis” is not to be misunderstood as necessarily negative. It brings issues to the forefront. We are admonished to recognize and improve upon ongoing problems and issues involving farming, medical care, and water filtration, along with the need to clean the air we breathe.
Aries: Issues that have been brewing in relationship(s) are coming to a turning point. You and another may be vying for emotional control. This can be very subtle and create long-term conflicts that occasionally explode to the surface. Look for ways to share equally.
Taurus: Relationships are focused with high intensity during this period because Mars and Venus (male and female) are in tension. Sexual and creative energy increases, particularly in solid partnerships. A relationship lacking shared power is likely to demand a confrontation or shakeout.
Gemini: This could be a thoroughly exciting week. You have multiple favorable aspects that bode well for travel, love life, relationships to children, legal interests, or anything high-tech. Whatever you do will bring educational rewards.
Cancer: You likely will have cause to feel a sense of pride about recent activities. Others are happy to give you credit, even if that makes you a bit uncomfortable. Meanwhile the probability is high of hearing from someone you thought long gone. It could be a former lover, and at the very least, an old friend.
Leo: During this eclipse season you are probably bringing something to a successful conclusion and preparing to move on to the next project. The next month brings more than normal numbers of telephone calls, e-mails and communications of all kinds.
Virgo: This eclipse is in your sign and is especially strong for those born Sept 16 — 21. You may be feeling as though you have only one opportunity to pursue an area of great importance to you. It is true that the circumstances will probably not come along again in this way. Do it well and make yourself happy.
Scorpio: It is necessary that you give attention to an issue of control that threatens to split one or more of your relationships. Either one of you may be the one who is seeking power and it may be quite subtle. You may be attempting to get what you want through manipulation. Don’t pursue this and don’t let someone do it to you.
Sagittarius: If you have been channeling your energy into a project that has positive value for many, you may be receiving recognition and applause now. If, instead, you are working on something that is purely to make your ego more shiny, you will find others are fighting you every step of the way.
Capricorn: You are moving in the right direction. For the next several months your life will not be such a heavy, weight bearing grind. You will have more and better options from which to choose. Your daily life is not as changeable as many of the other signs.
Aquarius: You may receive positive news from people who live far from your home. Activities that involve travel, especially if you will be near the water, are particularly restful. You would prefer to spend your time this week in R&R, or in the arena of learning/education.
Pisces: Make an effort to see your life with a touch of realism now. You are willing to help almost anyone in need, but your judgment about just who is truly deserving of your energy or money may be murky. Whatever you give, expect nothing in return. Then there might be a surprise.
