Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) – 0 to 10 degrees Libra: 

2010: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2010 Overview. 2010 is a strong year for getting organized, for satisfaction from the work you do, and for romantic surprises. Those of you looking for a better job could find it in 2010. Job seekers will radiate more confidence and attract accordingly. Most of you will experience more satisfaction from your job, improved working conditions, and/or better health. Although work can be hectic at times, you enjoy taking care of all the details, and being in demand for your skills can be a very pleasant feeling! Know when to say no, however, because your confidence in your work can lead you to accept more work than you can reasonably manage. The biggest areas of change for you this year are likely to be in the areas of home and family, career, and partnerships. While the changes are not necessarily overt this year, many of you will be feeling shifts and inner stirrings that seem to suggest taking action and making necessary changes are in order. Changing roles on the home front are possible, and you are more concerned and involved with family as well as domestic projects in 2010. You may be making more investments into your home and family not only with personal energy but also financial. Finances require some adjustments this year, and October and November is an important period for re-assessing your budget. Saturn continues to move through your sign, and its presence is most strongly felt by those born from September 24-October 10. Events conspire to direct your attention to what you have and haven’t accomplished in your life to date. Looking to the past for the purpose of preparing more appropriately for the future is good, but wallowing in regrets and focusing on mistakes made will get you nowhere except headed for a depression! Be realistic, make corrections, and move forward one step at a time. The desire for romance is strong this year, even with added responsibilities of work and family in your life. Happily, you will get some solid opportunities for fun and pleasure this year. Periods surrounding Jupiter’s conjunction to Uranus, your romance planet, are strong for romance, pleasure, recreation, self-expression, and creativity, and these occur in May-June, September, and then January of 2011. Opportunities through work, communications such as email, phone, and internet, and while pursuing studies are strong. A job opportunity might suddenly present itself in September.

2010 Details. Jupiter entering Pisces on January 17th places Jupiter in your work and health sector. From January 17th until June, and then again from September 2010 to January 2011, you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well now, mainly because you are finding more joy in being of service. You are more successful in hiring good workers, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Work tends to be very available to you–perhaps even too available in that you don’t know which one to choose. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness–this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result. As well, the more integrity, directness, and honesty you bring to your services and work, the more “payback” you will receive. Health is likely to prosper this year, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your appetite and/or choice of food. Some people get a new pet during this cycle, and this brings them much joy. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of something, and this could mean taking on more work than you can handle, getting lost in the details and organization necessary to keep your daily life running smoothly, and so forth.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth, from January 17 through June 6, and then from November 18-January 22/11.

Saturn continues to transit your solar first house until April 7th, and then again from July 21st forward. Your physical body and mannerisms are a focus during this transit. Depending on your current age, it may be a time when you feel your age or accept it. This is an excellent time for beginning health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly—not only what you want to see. Your outlook on life is more serious and responsible. In the past while, you might have reached out to others in an attempt to validate yourself, looking for ways to boost your confidence. When these attempts failed, you may have felt temporarily let down and discouraged. Rest assured that Saturn will re-work these feelings, with your help of course, until you reach a point where you have a stronger sense of self. This is a year in which you can get to that point. This transit acts to transform your self-confidence in such a way that you question the source of your confidence to date, and discover a more solid base for pulling up inner strength. Saturn here acts to rip away the superficial. Illusions about the self, the body, and personal abilities will no longer be tolerated. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of your own limitations, and your capabilities as well. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!

Saturn conjuncts your Sun from January to September 2010 for those born  September 24-28, and Saturn conjuncts your Sun from September to October for those born September 29-October 3. This Saturn conjunction often elicits groans and moans from those who know of Saturn’s reputation in astrology, but has more productive and positive potentials than you might think. You are determined to make adjustments in your life style, your work, your home, and other areas of life. For some of you, this is not a choice, but circumstances are such that you need to reorganize. Your sense of timing and balance is superb now, and your efficiency is improved ten times over. Cleaning out closets, re-organizing the environment in which you live and work, and other such activities come to the fore. Others may turn to you for advice or recognize your competency and experience in a particular area of life. Additional training is a possibility now. Anything that requires focus and commitment benefits. Your efforts now are very constructive, and you are not inclined to want to leave any loose ends untied. You are likely to derive much satisfaction from taking care of practical concerns in your life. This is a time of long-range planning that will bring you benefits down the road. Get your affairs in order, and invest in yourself!

Authority figures or elders may be particularly helpful now, and you are more willing to humble yourself and listen to what they have to say. In fact, this can be one of the keys to your success this year! Confronting your fears is easier now. You are taking off the rose colored glasses and seeing things for what they truly are. Family matters come into strong focus for you because Saturn rules your sector of home and family. More responsibilities are likely now, which should be met.

Saturn returns to your solar twelfth house from April 7th to July 21st, and this brings some revisiting of issues you were dealing with in the last 2 years or so of this transit, as well as closure and a sense of moving forward. Saturn has been turning a critical eye to all that lies beneath the surface, and you were forced to do some serious “spring cleaning” of your psyche during this period. You have been facing your own demons—the vague yet haunting fears that undermine you. We all have skeletons in our closet. What we don’t always realize is that they can seriously undermine our happiness and well-being. Saturn sweeps through your “closet” (the twelfth house), and demands that you take a hard look at what’s been hiding in there. Is this process uncomfortable? For most of us, it can be. But getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development—it’s ultimately a huge relief. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may have come to the fore. Now a sense of completion of this stage of your development comes as Saturn moves forward in your chart.

The influences of Uranus and Neptune are similar to that of last year. In terms of work and daily routines, you may have been moving towards a more irregular schedule. Your working hours may have become non-traditional, or you might be moving towards a more unconventional job. You are restless with routines, and tend to answer to your own internal rhythm rather than paying attention to society’s (and perhaps nature’s!) rhythms. Work that is monotonous, limiting, or lifeless really drags you down, and you tend to tackle tasks with erratic or haphazard energy–you work tirelessly at certain times, and procrastinate at other times, for example. It would be wise to find work that offers you not only variety and stimulation, but also the chance to invent or express yourself. Progressive, part-time, or unconventional tasks hold the most appeal to you these days. You may also take an interest in alternative health methods. You would benefit greatly from yoga or other mind-body therapies now.

Your romantic life has been more colorful and rich for several years with Neptune making its way slowly through your solar fifth house. You are highly romantic, but also somewhat prone to self-deception–seeing what you want to see in a lover rather than what really is. Being “in love with love” is quite probable now. Love can be very romantic for you, but it can also be complicated or downright elusive! You may find yourself falling in love with someone unattainable or attached, for example; or you might attach yourself to someone who you deem needs “saving”. Use some caution in this respect. Drama in romance can be lovely, but too much of it will only leave you yearning and perhaps even heartbroken. Caution with gambling is also necessary. You are more imaginative under this influence, however, and you might take up a very artistic hobby or other creative outlet.

For Libras born September 27-30 or with an Ascendant of 3-6 degrees of Libra, you are experiencing a Pluto transit square to your Sun. You are also beginning a very long-term cycle of changes in basic domestic structure. The Pluto square can be an intense but empowering period. You may slowly uncover a new direction in your career or personal life–one that reflects more of the “true you”. Your connections to family members can also change on a fundamental level, in terms of responsibilities, support, or roles. You may experience tangles in your close personal relationships, perhaps more so with males. Watch for jealousies and manipulative behavior. Things will not go in your favor if you resort to tactics to get what you want. If you have been feeling somewhat of a victim in your family relationships or job position, for example, then this will be a year in which you feel it more acutely and feel the need to do something about it. You could have problems staying calm, cool, and collected at times. Buried resentments come to the fore and demand to be dealt with. Avoid focusing on regrets or dead-end situations, as the tendency to obsess over things that can’t or shouldn’t be changed runs very high. By the time this transit ends, you are more equipped than ever to go after exactly what it is that you want in life. Superficial areas of your life will be removed or transformed, and you are freer to express your authentic self.

Eclipses this year mostly fall in your solar fourth and tenth houses. You are called upon to strike a balance between energy and attention spent on work and energy and attention spent on domestic matters. The demands of both your professional life and personal life are strong, and you might frequently feel divided. Tending to this balance is vital this year in order to re-establish a sense of inner peace and fulfillment.

Jupiter conjuncts Uranus on June 8th and September 18th in 2010. This exciting aspect occurs in your solar seventh house in June and in your solar sixth house in September. It’s a time when the need for progressive change suddenly becomes apparent. We might take risks (perhaps, but not necessarily, foolish ones) for the sake of freedom under the Jupiter-Uranus influence. We can open ourselves up to new ways of thinking now. However, we could also too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. In June, sudden opportunities with or through a partner can arise. A surprising circumstance or sudden change of attitude can occur and jolt you out of your usual routine when it comes to relating to others on a one-to-one level. Some of you might enter into a new partnership quickly, although practical considerations should be considered. Some may meet a special someone with whom they have strong intellectual or communicative ties, and the desire to take it to the next level is strong. In September, opportunities and new insights come in the areas of work or health. Some of you will become especially excited and hopeful about a new health and wellness program and this lifts your spirits to new heights, giving you a sense of having a new lease on life. Improvements or other opportunities at or through work can come seemingly out of the blue, boosting your confidence and improving your attitude towards the work you do. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is strong, and some of you will be feeling such inner restlessness that you feel you need to make a radical change. It will be wise to take into account practical considerations when making decisions, as the tendency now is to be over-confident rather than realistic.
