Until the 22, the Sun continues to spotlight your career and public sector. Focus is on what you do, how you do it, and what you accomplish. Do whatever you can to adopt a serious approach to business because you are in the spotlight. A time when practical vision may be at a high, during which you can see what needs to be done and just how to go about doing it. Career and vocational issues may benefit from the increased clarity you possess. Much of your energy will be applied to vocational achievement, professional success, and leadership during this cycle. The desire for some form of recognition and financial success is stronger than any other time of the year. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true
from the 22. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you
are feeling--happy, lighthearted, and social. Group affiliations capture your
attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off. Being part of a
community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to
you at this time. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda
is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for
making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you
during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now.
Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is
unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive
now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the
form of a wish for the future. Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th at 15 degrees Capricorn. The other is a total Solar Eclipse on the 21st at 29 degrees of Cancer. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from June 30-July 7 and then July 14th-21st. The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar fourth house. Surprises surrounding your home, family, and domestic life are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of house and home, property, family, parents, and foundations is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a project on the home, an event involving a family member or parent that grabs your complete attention, a flurry of activity in your home that demands attention, and other such possibilities. The Solar Eclipse on the 21st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar tenth house, suggesting that a new approach to your career or a new career direction altogether is in store for you. New business plans and goals may be formed in the coming month, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a strong potential. This is a phase in which you will be especially busy with career and/or public responsibilities. Venus warms your adventure sector from the 5. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth. Mercury is in your solar tenth house from the 3-17, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations. Mercury transits your solar eleventh from the 17. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts. As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals. Mars continues to energize your intimacy sector until the 12, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances. Mars energizes your solar ninth house from the 12, making this a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can't travel, you'll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies thrown toward recreation, travel, or just cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don't tire you out. Time flies when you're having fun and leaves you with more vigor than when you began. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you've never done before. Highlights: July 1-2 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible. July 7 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Capricorn in your solar fourth house. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It's time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time. July 8-9 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression. July 13-14 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive. July 20-21 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side. July 21 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar tenth house affects you for the next 3-6 months. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It's a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities. July 26-27 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change. July 28-29 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June |
Overview.
Until the 21, the Sun illuminates your solar ninth house. This transit that started in the last week of September finds you at your most adventurous and philosophical. Routine tends to bother you now, as you instinctively are drawn towards anything that brings you up and out of the mundane. You feel more fulfilled when you expand your horizons during this cycle. This can be a restless time, and it could also be a little self-indulgent. As long as you don't fall into the trap of blind optimism, it's a very pleasant time when you have the guts to do something different and enjoy yourself. You are also in the position to gain more of an overall perspective on your life and on your goals.
From the 21, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than
any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in
the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more
interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your
competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see
tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely
during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for
it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you
feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this
period in the year.
Venus transits your solar eighth house from the 6. During
this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through
your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and
even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a
partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and
other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now.
Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house until the 14, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.
Mercury transits your solar ninth house from the 14. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

June 4-5 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
June 7 A Full Moon occurs today in Sagittarius in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
June 11-12 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you!

May 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
May |
Overview.
Until the 20, the Sun continues to spotlight your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
From the 20, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus
turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your
thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are
feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in
which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences
that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of
day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of
superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of
things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of
sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but
taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a
few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of
adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The
only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs
and important details.
Mercury is retrograde from May 7-30. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar eighth and ninth houses this time, extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans, and with any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to transportation, receiving support, loans, and taxes. There may be delays regarding financial support, loans, or taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors, lawyers, acquaintances, and intimate partners, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your fifth house three times this year--May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your third house and the ruler of your sixth house aligned, this year there is more activity and communication on the job. Many of you will be especially mentally active and engaged in the work you do, and some will be running more errands or more "on the move" than usual in their jobs. Many of you are working in communications fields. Some of you are becoming more expressive when it comes to romantic notions, love, and also children. Some of you are finding romance on the job. In general, your faith in romantic relationships increases this year. The only real danger here is that you may be putting too much faith in love matters--that is, unrealistic, inhuman, or misplaced faith in lovers. Try not to be too starry-eyed about romance or you could be setting yourself up for disappointment. You could also be expecting, quite unwittingly, far too much from mere mortals! Some of you will find you are attracting Sagittarius and Pisces lovers into your life. Many of you are truly discovering your creative potential, and putting more faith in your creative abilities.
With Venus moving through your solar seventh house all month, special
attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you
everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than
group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal
relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more
willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are
adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise,
negotiate, and make peace.
Mars continues to move through your partnership sector all month, although the drama of this position begins to ease from the 5th, once Mars passes an opposition to your Sun. With Mars in the seventh house, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There's bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another's.
Highlights:
May 5-6 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
May 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 30th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
May 7-8 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
May 8 A Full Moon occurs today in Scorpio in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.
May 15-16 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
May 20-21 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
May 24 New Moon in Gemini in your solar ninth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on June 22. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the "regular" experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
May 26-27 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
May 29-31 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 30th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Overview.
Until the 19, the Sun continues to illuminate your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It's important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.
From the 19, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
Relationships continue to feel complicated until the 20th, dear Libra, after which you are more able to enjoy your social life. Your goals are clearer and you are less likely to give off confusing or mixed signals to others. There is a strong connection between love and work this month, and if social opportunities through work present themselves (which is very possible), be sure to grab them. You could find yourself attracting (or attracted to) more creative or spiritual sorts of people these days. Money matters are complicated on the 1-4. The 20-22 brings stellar opportunities for love.Venus is retrograde from March 6-April 17. As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or pre-destined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends in April.
Until the 11, retrograde Venus travels through your solar seventh house of one-to-one partnerships. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do serious damage. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over-react to what your partner has to say either. A close partner could be distant emotionally. Venus rules your sign, suggesting that you could be distancing yourself, questioning whether others are truly good for you.
From the 11-17, retrograde Venus in your solar sixth house suggests that the social aspect of relationships on the job may be strained for the time being. Do your best not to let people get to you. Put off beautification processes for the time being.
Venus moves through your solar seventh house until the 11th, and then from the 24th forward. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships--both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections. With Venus retrograde until the 17th, however, some complications in these areas of life may arise, urging you to re-assess matters rather than forge ahead, after which matters become increasingly more straightforward.
Venus conjunct Mars in Pisces in your solar sixth house from the 20-22 indicates a potent period for creativity, romance, or sexuality on the job or in your daily routine.
Mercury continues to enliven your partnership sector until the 9. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.
Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 9-31. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.
Mars continues to activate your solar sixth house until the 22, bringing increased energy and enterprise to your work and health programs. You are especially energetic when it comes to getting things done. You tend to want to pioneer or lead on the job front during this cycle, and it's best to find ways to do so. Otherwise, you might become frustrated and impatient easily, or get involved with tensions between yourself and co-workers or employees. Try not to pay attention to co-workers' slow methods now--that will only serve to frustrate you. Apply your increased energy to working hard and really making a dent in the jobs you have to do.
Mars energizes and activates your solar seventh house from the 22.
Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging.
Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even
find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do
during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period.
When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience
for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively
during this cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.
Highlights:
April 1-2 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
April 8-9 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
April 9 A Full Moon occurs today in Libra in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.
April 10-11 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
April 16-18 Venus stations and turns direct on April 17th. Relationship, love, and money matters gradually become clearer and more straightforward over the coming weeks. During this period, take it easy in these areas of life until we begin to see clearly what and who we value. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.
April 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
April 22-23 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
April 24 New Moon in Taurus in your solar eighth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on May 24. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
April 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
July 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
July |
Overview.
This month, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector.
More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your
"place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the
time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing
something important. Your competency is something that you are
especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your
vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for
your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this
period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or
not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you
feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during
this period in the year.
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th at 15 degrees Capricorn. The other is a total Solar Eclipse on the 21st at 29 degrees of Cancer. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from June 30-July 7 and then July 14th-21st.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar fourth house. Surprises surrounding your home, family, and domestic life are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of house and home, property, family, parents, and foundations is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a project on the home, an event involving a family member or parent that grabs your complete attention, a flurry of activity in your home that demands attention, and other such possibilities.
The Solar Eclipse on the 21st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar tenth house, suggesting that a new approach to your career or a new career direction altogether is in store for you. New business plans and goals may be formed in the coming month, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a strong potential. This is a phase in which you will be especially busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
Venus continues her journey through your intimacy sector until the 14. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents. It’s a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now--financial or emotional.
Venus warms your adventure sector from the 14. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury is in your solar tenth house from the 8-22, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.
Mercury transits your solar eleventh from the 22. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts. As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
Mars continues to energize your intimacy sector until the 26, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.
Mars energizes your solar ninth house from the 26, making this a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can't travel, you'll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies thrown toward recreation, travel, or just cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don't tire you out. Time flies when you're having fun and leaves you with more vigor than when you began. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you've never done before.
Highlights:
July 2-3 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 7 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Capricorn in your solar fourth house. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It's time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.
July 9-10 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
July 14-15 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 21 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar tenth house affects you for the next 3-6 months. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It's a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
July 21-22 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 27-28 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted.

July 29-30 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
June 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
June |
Overview.
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your
focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have
occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time
during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a
leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to
your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here
and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything
that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality
finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It
would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of
sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen
now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily
grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression
through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel
good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could
lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 16. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships--both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
Venus transits your solar eighth house from the 16. During this
cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially
through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be
revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth
over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power,
intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics.
Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner
want a deeper union.
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house until the 22, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.
Mercury transits your solar ninth house from the 22. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars continues to move through your partnership sector until the 14, although the drama of this position is definitely easing, as Mars is now past an opposition to your Sun. With Mars in the seventh house, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There's bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another's.

Highlights:
June 2-3 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward.

June 4-5 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
June 7 A Full Moon occurs today in Sagittarius in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
June 12-13 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 17-18 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise.

Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 22 New Moon in Cancer in your solar ninth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on July 21. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the "regular" experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
June 23-24 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
June 29-30 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
May 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
May |
Overview.
This month, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation,
change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and
resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most
gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy
with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life.
This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to
rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power
and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now.
Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just
how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your
self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more
than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of
change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself
of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than
usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth
understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters
to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows
you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an
especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly
uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level,
you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more
than usual.
Mercury is retrograde from May 7-30. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your fifth house three times this year, beginning this month--May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your third house and the ruler of your sixth house aligned, this year there is more activity and communication on the job. Many of you will be especially mentally active and engaged in the work you do, and some will be running more errands or more "on the move" than usual in their jobs. Many of you are working in communications fields. Some of you are becoming more expressive when it comes to romantic notions, love, and also children. Some of you are finding romance on the job. In general, your faith in romantic relationships increases this year. The only real danger here is that you may be putting too much faith in love matters--that is, unrealistic, inhuman, or misplaced faith in lovers. Try not to be too starry-eyed about romance or you could be setting yourself up for disappointment. You could also be expecting, quite unwittingly, far too much from mere mortals! Some of you will find you are attracting Sagittarius and Pisces lovers into your life. Many of you are truly discovering your creative potential, and putting more faith in your creative abilities.
Venus continues to journey through your work and health sector until the 14. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.
Venus moves through your solar seventh house from the 14. Special
attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you
everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more
than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your
close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle.
If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed
relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your
affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
Mars energizes and activates your solar seventh house from the 5.
Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be
challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship
problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in
order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are
vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you
are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters
under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this
cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.
Highlights:
May 6-7 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
May 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 30th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
May 8 A Full Moon occurs today in Scorpio in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.
May 8-9 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
May 16-17 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
May 20-21 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
May 24 New Moon in Gemini in your solar eighth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on June 22. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
May 27-28 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
May 29-31 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 30th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
April 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
April |
Overview.
This month, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of
year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing
ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner
provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to
realize your own potential through a significant other. During this
cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives
with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on
"us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support
of other people, and they may also seek out your support and
companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo
for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is
not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind
are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are
required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own
ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in
how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for
people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus is retrograde from March 6-April 17. As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or pre-destined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends in April.
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your solar sixth house of work, health, and habits. In addition to the general cautions outlined above, the social aspect of relationships on the job may be strained for the time being. Do your best not to let people get to you. Put off beautification processes during this cycle. Venus rules your sign, suggesting that you could be distancing yourself, questioning whether others are truly good for you.
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house this month. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now. With Venus retrograde from the 6th forward, however, some complications in these areas of life may arise, urging you to re-assess matters rather than forge ahead.
Venus conjunct Mars in Pisces in your solar sixth house from the 20-22 indicates a potent period for creativity, romance, or sexuality on the job or in your daily routine.
Mercury continues to enliven your partnership sector until the 14. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.
Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 14. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.
Mars continues to activate your solar sixth house this month, bringing increased energy and enterprise to your work and health programs. You are especially energetic when it comes to getting things done. You tend to want to pioneer or lead on the job front during this cycle, and it's best to find ways to do so. Otherwise, you might become frustrated and impatient easily, or get involved with tensions between yourself and co-workers or employees. Try not to pay attention to co-workers' slow methods now--that will only serve to frustrate you. Apply your increased energy to working hard and really making a dent in the jobs you have to do.
Highlights:
April 2-3 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
April 9 A Full Moon occurs today in Libra in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.
April 9-10 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
April 11-12 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
April 16-18 Venus stations and turns direct on April 17th. Relationship, love, and money matters gradually become clearer and more straightforward over the coming weeks. During this period, take it easy in these areas of life until we begin to see clearly what and who we value. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.
April 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
April 23-24 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
April 24 New Moon in Taurus in your solar seventh house affects you now and until the next New Moon on May 24. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
April 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:
July 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
July |
Overview.
Until the 12, the Sun illuminates your solar ninth house. This transit that started in the last week of September finds you at your most adventurous and philosophical. Routine tends to bother you now, as you instinctively are drawn towards anything that brings you up and out of the mundane. You feel more fulfilled when you expand your horizons during this cycle. This can be a restless time, and it could also be a little self-indulgent. As long as you don't fall into the trap of blind optimism, it's a very pleasant time when you have the guts to do something different and enjoy yourself. You are also in the position to gain more of an overall perspective on your life and on your goals.
From the 12, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector.
More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your
"place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the
time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing
something important. Your competency is something that you are
especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your
vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for
your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this
period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or
not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you
feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during
this period in the year.
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th at 15 degrees Capricorn. The other is a total Solar Eclipse on the 21st at 29 degrees of Cancer. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from June 30-July 7 and then July 14th-21st.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar fourth house. Surprises surrounding your home, family, and domestic life are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of house and home, property, family, parents, and foundations is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a project on the home, an event involving a family member or parent that grabs your complete attention, a flurry of activity in your home that demands attention, and other such possibilities.
The Solar Eclipse on the 21st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar tenth house, suggesting that a new approach to your career or a new career direction altogether is in store for you. New business plans and goals may be formed in the coming month, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a strong potential. This is a phase in which you will be especially busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
Venus continues her journey through your intimacy sector until the 23. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents. It’s a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now--financial or emotional.
Venus warms your adventure sector from the 23. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house until the 13. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interests and where our thoughts are for the time being. You take more interest in the bigger picture rather than details during this period. Educational or philosophical subjects could interest now. Decisions made now are more inclined to take into consideration morals and ethics--not only practical concerns.
Mercury is in your solar tenth house from the 13-28, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.
Mercury transits your solar eleventh from the 28. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts. As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
Mars continues to energize your intimacy sector this month, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.
Highlights:
June 30-July 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 3-4 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 7 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Capricorn in your solar fourth house. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It's time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.
July 10-11 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
July 15-16 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 21 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar tenth house affects you for the next 3-6 months. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It's a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
July 21-22 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 27-28 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 30-31 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
June |
Overview.
Until the 10, the Sun continues to spotlight your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
From the 10, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your
focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have
occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time
during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a
leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to
your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here
and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything
that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality
finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It
would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of
sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen
now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily
grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression
through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel
good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could
lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 25. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships--both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
Venus transits your solar eighth house from the 25. During this
cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially
through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be
revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth
over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power,
intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics.
Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner
want a deeper union.
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house until the 28, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.
Mars continues to move through your partnership sector until the 28, although the drama of this position is definitely easing, as Mars is now past an opposition to your Sun. With Mars in the seventh house, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative in active co-operation with others as associates or in partnerships of some kind. You can be aggressive and forceful in intimate relationships, or your partner may be displaying these traits. It is important to be restrained in all dealings with associates, business partners, and intimate partners. If you are too aggressive or dominant now, there is danger of trouble and loss through public opposition, unpopularity, damaged relationships, or even litigation in rare cases. This cycle tests your ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts. Remember that anger is often a mask for hurt feelings. There's bound to be a lot of friction or push and pull as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another's.
Mars energizes and activates your solar eighth house from the 28. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Highlights:
June 3-4 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
June 5-6 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
June 7 A Full Moon occurs today in Sagittarius in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
June 13-14 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 18-19 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 22 New Moon in Cancer in your solar ninth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on July 21. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the "regular" experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
June 24-25 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
June 30-July 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:
May 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
May |
Overview.
Until the 10, the Sun continues to illuminate your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It's important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.
From the 10, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation,
change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and
resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most
gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy
with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life.
This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to
rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power
and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now.
Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just
how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your
self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more
than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of
change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself
of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than
usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth
understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters
to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows
you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an
especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly
uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level,
you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more
than usual.
Mercury is retrograde from May 7-30. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your fifth house three times this year, beginning this month--May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your third house and the ruler of your sixth house aligned, this year there is more activity and communication on the job. Many of you will be especially mentally active and engaged in the work you do, and some will be running more errands or more "on the move" than usual in their jobs. Many of you are working in communications fields. Some of you are becoming more expressive when it comes to romantic notions, love, and also children. Some of you are finding romance on the job. In general, your faith in romantic relationships increases this year. The only real danger here is that you may be putting too much faith in love matters--that is, unrealistic, inhuman, or misplaced faith in lovers. Try not to be too starry-eyed about romance or you could be setting yourself up for disappointment. You could also be expecting, quite unwittingly, far too much from mere mortals! Some of you will find you are attracting Sagittarius and Pisces lovers into your life. Many of you are truly discovering your creative potential, and putting more faith in your creative abilities.
Venus continues to journey through your work and health sector until the 26. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.
Venus moves through your solar seventh house from the 26. Special
attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you
everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more
than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your
close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle.
If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed
relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your
affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
Mars energizes and activates your solar seventh house from the 18.
Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be
challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship
problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in
order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are
vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you
are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters
under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this
cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.
Highlights:
April 30-May 1 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
May 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 30th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
May 7-8 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
May 8 A Full Moon occurs today in Scorpio in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.
May 9-10 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
May 16-17 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
May 21-22 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
May 24 New Moon in Gemini in your solar eighth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on June 22. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
May 27-28 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
May 29-31 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 30th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:
April 2009 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
April |
Overview.
Until the 9, the Sun continues to spotlight your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods.
From the 9, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of
year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing
ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner
provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to
realize your own potential through a significant other. During this
cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives
with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on
"us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support
of other people, and they may also seek out your support and
companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo
for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is
not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind
are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are
required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own
ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in
how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for
people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus is retrograde from March 6-April 17. As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or pre-destined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends in April.
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your solar sixth house of work, health, and habits. In addition to the general cautions outlined above, the social aspect of relationships on the job may be strained for the time being. Do your best not to let people get to you. Put off beautification processes during this cycle. Venus rules your sign, suggesting that you could be distancing yourself, questioning whether others are truly good for you.
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house this month. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now. With Venus retrograde from the 6th forward, however, some complications in these areas of life may arise, urging you to re-assess matters rather than forge ahead.
Venus conjunct Mars in Pisces in your solar sixth house from the 20-22 indicates a potent period for creativity, romance, or sexuality on the job or in your daily routine.
Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 4-20. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.
Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 20. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house until the 9. During this cycle, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement, and pleasure in general. You have a likeable, competitive, and almost flamboyant temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire for creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.
Mars energizes your solar sixth house from the 9.
You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to
speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than
usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much
energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical
activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a
harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are
possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless,
it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you
can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers
or infections are more likely.
Highlights:
April 3-4 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
April 9 A Full Moon occurs today in Libra in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.
April 9-10 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
April 12-13 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
April 16-18 Venus stations and turns direct on April 17th. Relationship, love, and money matters gradually become clearer and more straightforward over the coming weeks. During this period, take it easy in these areas of life until we begin to see clearly what and who we value. See Venus Retrograde for more information about this cycle.
April 19-20 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
April 24 New Moon in Taurus in your solar seventh house affects you now and until the next New Moon on May 24. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
April 24-25 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
April 30-May 1 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now.
