Venus returns to one of her home signs, Libra, from September 30 – October 23.
This will add cosmic sweetness to daily life, and can help create supportive connections in all kinds of relationships.
Libra values togetherness and harmony, while Venus helps unite, to bring things and people together.
Venus in Libra is a planet in rulership, which is a condition of strength. This can add focus or vitality to earthly possibilities, as it’s a little like the planetary powers that be getting their act together, especially regarding love, truth, equality, relationships, beauty and all kinds of partnerships.
In October there is also a Mercury retrograde, from October 3 – 24, partly in Scorpio and partly in Libra. Mercury retrograde can create some snafus, but the vitality of Venus in Libra will act as a balm, or layer of protection so that it’s easier to smooth over any classic retrograde crossed wires or miscommunication.
Venus in Libra can help create connection, make it easier to negotiate or find common ground and may add a little sweetness, ease or luxury to life. It can help develop the ideas or possibilities triggered by the recent Libra New Moon.
So in short order there has been a New Moon in Libra, Venus will move through Libra, and Mercury will retrograde in Libra. In addition to the general Libra themes mentioned above, you may notice some of the following topics being triggered, based on your own chart. These topics would also generally be good things to focus on during October.
If you know your ascendant or rising, read that. If not, just read your Sun or Star sign.
