The horoscope on this page, Libra Yearly, shows the trends and predictions for the year in detail. Because outer planet transits are lengthy, there are variations in the timing of outer planet transits for each of the three decans of Libra, and these are shown below the main, general forecast. I’ve added extra details using a house-by-house approach to breaking down significant influences in 2017.
Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease that you can make the most of these trends by seeking out the opportunities and managing the challenges.
The following chart shows the outer planets and other points in relation to your sign, revealing whether they are harmonizing (green) with or challenging (pink) Libra:

Grey is neutral (no direct relationship, but can be picky, nagging),
Pink is challenging (the planet is in direct, challenging relationship to your sign),
and Green is easy and supportive (the planet or point is in direct, harmonious relationship with your sign).
As is evident in the above chart, we have continued challenges from Uranus and Pluto, but some very nice support from Jupiter, Saturn, and the North Node in 2017 for Libra.

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:
You have wonderful support from Saturn and Uranus this year, Libra. Both planets are in Fire signs (friends of you, as an Air sign) as they were last year, but for most of 2017 they are in harmony with one another, creating opportunities to boost the excitement and progressive spirit of your life without sacrificing security. This combination is brilliant for making things work and making realistic dreams happen.
Libra is an intellectual Air sign, and is also of a take-charge Cardinal nature. You welcome change – within reason! As such, a Saturn-Uranus influence is welcome. Uranus is very much connected with partnering recently as it moves through your opposite sign and partnership sector, and also because it always rules your romance sector. A stabilizing Saturn effect on Uranus suggests far more stability and the real possibility of making alternative relationship arrangements truly work.
Areas of change and occasional disruption for you in 2017 tend to be personal development, one-to-one relationships (although as mentioned above, Saturn helps stabilize these), and family and home life.
This is a powerful year for personal opportunities, plans, and development. Your confidence grows. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!
Your finance sector has been an area of your chart that has faced more than usual outer planet challenges for many years. This year, however, things are coming together regarding income, resources, valuables, and talents. From October forward, you benefit from a wonderful influence for improving these things. This transit will last until November 2018 and its benefits will be even more apparent after December 2017.

2017: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Libra (All):
2017 is a year of “out with the old, in with the new,” dear Libra, as you continue a trend from the last quarter of 2016 that keeps you looking forward and chasing new beginnings. You are determined to change your life for the better and to be a better person as well. You are likely to feel that you’re moving forward and growing, craving more freedom and independence, and perhaps facing some endings as a result, but nothing that you cannot handle.
Improving your skill set may be necessary for your work, and even if it isn’t required of you, you should probably look into getting formal or even informal training. You tend to have less time for acquaintances in 2017, and perhaps even for your family at times. Small talk no longer seems to satisfy you, and you could feel quite a bit of pressure to make better and more efficient use of your time.
Periods surrounding Jupiter’s opposition to Uranus, your romance planet, are strong for romance, pleasure, recreation, self-expression, and creativity, although events tend to be sudden or surprising. This aspect peaks in March and September. However, this is unlikely to be a time for committing yourself to something – you’re experimenting and having some fun now.
Venus, your ruler, turns retrograde from March 4-April 15, and this is a period for review, introspection, and reflection. It’s not the best time to make important decisions, but it’s excellent for looking at your love life and your own feelings with new eyes. May and June are strong for knowing your heart and pursuing what or who you want.
Prepare yourself mentally for communication and transportation issues – mechanical breakdowns or more repairs may be necessary, particularly in April and November. Getting from A to B may be a little more stressful at these times, for any number of reasons. Those of you in the midst of studies should probably watch for sudden changes of heart in terms of the subjects you’re focusing on. Consider whether switching around programs is really worth the extra time. If it truly is, then go for it.
You are communicating with more authority or honing your knowledge in a particular trade or area of knowledge/expertise. However, some people in your life might complain that you are not as available for idle chit-chat. You are working harder this year at communicating more effectively and building your level of expertise. You are dissatisfied with sloppy learning or holes in your thinking and want to refine your skills and knowledge.
In recent years, the status quo has been blown out of the water when it comes to partnering. You’ve likely experienced experimental or alternative ways of relating, whether this was voluntary or not. This year, this comes together better for you — you’re making things work. Your view of relationships and what you need (and don’t need) from them is changing. This long-term influence will wrap up in 1-2 years, and you’ll benefit from living your life according to your own values, not simply reacting to what others are (or aren’t) throwing your way. Rebelling can, eventually, lead you back to yourself with greater understanding, and this is “where you are at” going forward.
This is not to say that love relationships are smooth sailing. In fact, big changes in the dynamics of close partnerships (personal and business ones) are necessary. You will need to allow a partner more freedom and space, and there will be times when you feel that you suffer as a result (particularly when Jupiter in your sign opposes Uranus in Aries, the sign that represents “others” in your life). If you allow others more freedom, you should also feel free to take some for yourself. However, recognize when you’re making too many points, as this can prevent bonding. There can be joy in your partnerships, and some blessings, but also some uprooting.
An influence with you from October forward has you knowing your value and attracting more money or possessions into your life. Many of you will enjoy a pay increase and/or more recognition for your capabilities. You are valued, act like you deserve to be valued, and as a result, attract better fortune.
Look for opportunities to make your life more comfortable, and to make extra money – chances are, these abound. This influence will stick with you as you move into 2018.
However, in the final quarter of the year, watch for overindulgence — be kind to your future self! More advice: you may be so tied up with projects that you have less time to fraternize with siblings, neighbors, and acquaintances than you used to, and they’re likely to feel the withdrawal. While attention to other matters seems to take precedence, don’t wall yourself up too much.

Until October 10th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar first house. This exciting transit occurs only every twelve years or so, and continues to bring improvements to your immediate environment and self-confidence, as well as increased generosity to your personality. Your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic. This transit heightens your optimism and generosity, and the entire cycle has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time in your life. You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now — it's the future you're eyeing now. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable - you have an altogether different perspective on life, and you're not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You create a distinct first impression on others and your likability increases. People thoroughly enjoy being around you, not because of what you do, but because of who you are. Furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit! You might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested, however. There is also a risk of overindulgence and other forms of excessive behavior. Jupiter can bring endings into your life in order for you to grow, although these are generally easy ones. A carefree attitude is different than a careless one, and the fine line between the two is definitely something to consider. You feel considerably freer to be yourself right now, and others tend to accept you more readily. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap and are unlikely to come all at once, although they are more likely due to Jupiter's direct influence on your life. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life, and always watch for overdoing things or carelessness. Expanding your horizons through higher learning or travel might also figure strongly. This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more "me" time, which is in fact long overdue after a period of serving, supporting, and helping others.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar first house, from January 1-February 5, and from June 9-October 10.
From October 10th forward, Jupiter transits your solar second house. During this longer-term cycle, you are likely to see and enjoy benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart could very well bring a profitable and productive period. You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and this can help you to attract more income, as long as you are realistic. You might decide to develop your talents during this Jupiter cycle, which in turn boosts your earning power. Your income might increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation. However, you could be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, opting to plump up your nest or your store of personal possessions in order to feel more secure. Money problems from the past may clear up during this period if you use it appropriately. Developing budgets and working out ways to better manage your resources can figure strongly. You may be adding to your possessions, you might receive a large item or gift, or a major purchase or sale might occur now. A significant gift or bonus may come your way. This is a good time to work with financial institutions, shoot for a raise, or apply for a loan. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend - feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future! The positive circumstances associated with this transit 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. During this cycle, you bring a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, as well as to your practical affairs, including work and career. Your attitude is a "can-do" one now. New business ventures can be successful and ongoing ones can thrive with extra attention and confidence.
Saturn transits your solar third house until December 2017. This transit began in December 2014 and runs until December 2017 (with the exception of June 14-September 17, 2015). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence.
You are more productive, with a responsible and sometimes even somber outlook. Although you have a desire to make contacts, you are rather preoccupied with learning or producing, and you may view idle chit-chat as a waste of time. You could feel an unusual pressure to structure your time and effort, and to cut out communication that seems unnecessary. Bouncing ideas off a special person in your life will produce great benefits. You are more able to accomplish something solid this year. By the end of the transit in December, you will have ideally gained a greater depth of understanding, having focused on information and communication that you really can use to feel more effective in the world.
You may at times feel rather overwhelmed by such things as errands, red tape, and other such day-to-day “disruptions.” There is a great need now to structure your life by way of schedules, managing daily details and your time more effectively. There can be some problems with local transportation — getting from point A to point B. There can be some restlessness or an urge to get out and about, but you might feel weighed down by your daily responsibilities. However, this is also a time of increased practicality and esteem. You are more reliable than usual. You are learning to procrastinate less.
The acute elements of this transit have already passed for your Libra group – you are finishing and tidying things up in these areas of your life. This is a time for resolving these issues. After mid-December, Saturn won’t return to this area of your chart for another 29 years.
Saturn transits your solar fourth house from December 19th forward (until 2020). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for you, that will be now until December 2018!
Saturn here urges you to get serious about home, family, and domestic concerns. You are building your nest, not in a “plumping your nest” sort of way. In fact, you may be stripping some things away–perhaps even downsizing or de-cluttering–and adding structure to your domestic life.
You face issues surrounding your attachments to the past. Sometimes this manifests as literal re-organization of your home. Moving house is not typically associated with this transit as it would if, for example, Uranus was the transiting planet. If moves are made, you might encounter some resistance in yourself. This is not a time when you feel particularly brave in the outer world. However, reorganization in your home, and more importantly, in your soul, embodies the true nature of this transit. Many will go through a major “spring cleaning” inside. Limitations that came from early family conditioning will be brought to the fore. At first, there may be some frustration with your life to date, and how you have limited your opportunities because of early conditioning. A feeling of being alone and unsupported in life may dominate now. You may experience some distancing or frustrations regarding your parents. Family obligations may get in the way of your experience of pleasure and of the achievement of your personal goals. There may be some emotional distancing as well in your home. Your current living conditions may feel restrictive, limiting, too small or cramped (physically and/or emotionally). Delays and slowdowns may be experienced in the areas of health, mobility, and career.
However, all of these things are occurring now in order that you face your responsibilities, become more self-sufficient, and more organized. Ultimately, you are learning to rely on yourself and to take care of things that you may have previously neglected but that have undermined your confidence in yourself and in your life. By the end of this transit, your home is likely to be in tip-top shape and family life should be more organized.
Uranus continues to transit your solar seventh house this year. Close relationships may receive a shake-down of sorts, and you may feel that it’s hard to truly rely on a partner. Lifeless or outworn relationships may become harder to bear. Some trial and error in relationships is par for the course with Uranus in this sector of your chart. People in your life may be surprised at your displays of independence. You don’t care for taking orders, and any attempts to limit you are likely to be met with great resistance or downright rebelliousness on your part. Some of you may find your current partnership limiting and you could either end it or experience tension as you explore ways to break free from restriction. Some of you could experience erratic or rebellious behavior in a close partner, and this could have you on your toes, wondering what’s next.
The more acute elements of this transit have already been experienced before 2017 for your decan of Libra.
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your sixth house this year. You are more susceptible to medications, chemicals, and other such things during this long-term cycle, so keep this in mind. Stress more easily affects your health as well. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may steer towards compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Neptune’s presence here can make it challenging to stick to schedules and to stay organized in your daily life. There may be some carelessness or neglect when it comes to your health, and your motivations or attitudes towards work can change.
Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your fourth house this year. You have moved well beyond a challenging Pluto square to your Sun. Pluto transiting your solar fourth house is a very long-term transit of changes in basic domestic structure. Your connections to family members can change on a fundamental level, in terms of responsibilities, support, or roles. There can be a retreat into yourself during this cycle as you explore, on a very deep level, your roots, childhood conditioning, and feelings of personal security. If you have been feeling somewhat of a victim in your family relationships, for example, then this will be a time when you feel it more acutely and feel the need to do something about it. 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.
Until May 2017, the North Node transits your solar twelfth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning about your inner world. Your attention turns to spirituality, downtime, and faith. Your path is to attempt to let go of unnecessary worry and guilt and to trust in a larger more spiritual plan.
From May 2017 forward, the North Node transits your solar eleventh house, and the North Node is pointing you in the direction of your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others - as well as your relationship with yourself - will benefit.

Until November 24th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar first house. This exciting transit occurs only every twelve years or so, and continues to bring improvements to your immediate environment and self-confidence, as well as increased generosity to your personality. Your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar first house, from January 1-February 5, and from June 9-October 10.
Jupiter transits conjunct your Sun/Ascendant. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns. It's an excellent time to start new long-term projects. You might find that you feel more vital, confident, and optimistic about the future at this time. It's a good time to resolve conflicts. You may be released from previously confining situations that have been stunting your growth or progress. Events may give your ego a boost, and you could be feeling quite vital and alive. Take advantage of this by promoting yourself or putting yourself "out there". Ego gratification is the theme of this transit. This is the start of a "new you" - a more confident and faithful person.
From November 24th forward, Jupiter transits your solar second house. During this longer-term cycle, you are likely to see and enjoy benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart could very well bring a profitable and productive period. You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and this can help you to attract more income, as long as you are realistic.

Saturn transits your solar third house this year. This transit will run until at least the end of 2018 for your decan.
You are more productive, with a responsible and sometimes even somber outlook. Although you have a desire to make contacts, you are rather preoccupied with learning or producing, and you may view idle chit-chat as a waste of time. You could feel an unusual pressure to structure your time and effort, and to cut out communication that seems unnecessary. Bouncing ideas off a special person in your life will produce great benefits. You are more able to accomplish something solid this year. By the end of the transit in 2019, you will have ideally gained a greater depth of understanding, having focused on information and communication that you really can use to feel more effective in the world.
You may at times feel rather overwhelmed by such things as errands, red tape, and other such day-to-day “disruptions.” There is a great need now to structure your life by way of schedules, managing daily details and your time more effectively. There can be some problems with local transportation — getting from point A to point B. There can be some restlessness or an urge to get out and about, but you might feel weighed down by your daily responsibilities. However, this is also a time of increased practicality and esteem. You are more reliable than usual. You are learning to procrastinate less.
The acute elements of this transit have already passed for your Libra group – you are finishing and tidying things up in these areas of your life. This year and 2018 are periods for resolving these issues.
Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh house. Close relationships may receive a shake-down of sorts, and you may feel that it’s hard to truly rely on a partner. Lifeless or outworn relationships may become harder to bear. Some trial and error in relationships is par for the course with Uranus in this sector of your chart. People in your life may be surprised at your displays of independence. You don’t care for taking orders, and any attempts to limit you are likely to be met with great resistance or downright rebelliousness on your part. Some of you may find your current partnership limiting and you could either end it or experience tension as you explore ways to break free from restriction. Some of you could experience erratic or rebellious behavior in a close partner, and this could have you on your toes, wondering what’s next. Uranus is beyond its opposition to your Sun/Ascendant, and this suggests a much easier time with these influences in 2017.
Neptune begins its lengthy transit through your solar sixth house for those born with a Libra Ascendant of 10-14 degrees or born from October 4-8 this year. You are more susceptible to medications, chemicals, and other such things during this long-term cycle, so keep this in mind. Stress more easily affects your health as well. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may steer towards compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Neptune’s presence here can make it challenging to stick to schedules and to stay organized in your daily life. There may be some carelessness or neglect when it comes to your health, and your motivations or attitudes towards work can change.
Pluto begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth house this year. Many of you have moved beyond a transiting Pluto square to your Sun. Pluto transiting your solar fourth house is a very long-term transit of changes in basic domestic structure. Your connections to family members can change on a fundamental level, in terms of responsibilities, support, or roles. There can be a retreat into yourself during this cycle as you explore, on a very deep level, your roots, childhood conditioning, and feelings of personal security. If you have been feeling somewhat of a victim in your family relationships, for example, then this will be a time when you feel it more acutely and feel the need to do something about it.

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.
For those born with a Libra Ascendant of 17 to 19-1/2 degrees or born from October 10-13 only, Pluto is now transiting square to your Sun or Ascendant. 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.
This year, the North Node transits your solar eleventh house, and the North Node is pointing you in the direction of your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others - as well as your relationship with yourself - will benefit.

You may be released from previously confining situations that have been stunting your growth or progress. Events may give your ego a boost, and you could be feeling quite vital and alive. Take advantage of this by promoting yourself or putting yourself "out there". Ego gratification is the theme of this transit. This is the start of a "new you" - a more confident and faithful person.
Saturn transits your solar third house this year. This transit will run until at least the end of 2019 for your decan. This transit is new to your decan, making its themes a little more intense in 2017, after which you become increasingly more comfortable with the energy.
You are more productive, with a responsible and sometimes even somber outlook. Although you have a desire to make contacts, you are rather preoccupied with learning or producing, and you may view idle chit-chat as a waste of time. You could feel an unusual pressure to structure your time and effort, and to cut out communication that seems unnecessary. Bouncing ideas off a special person in your life will produce great benefits. You are more able to accomplish something solid this year. By the end of the transit in 2019-2020, you will have ideally gained a greater depth of understanding, having focused on information and communication that you really can use to feel more effective in the world.
You may at times feel rather overwhelmed by such things as errands, red tape, and other such day-to-day “disruptions.” There is a great need now to structure your life by way of schedules, managing daily details and your time more effectively. There can be some problems with local transportation — getting from point A to point B. There can be some restlessness or an urge to get out and about, but you might feel weighed down by your daily responsibilities. However, this is also a time of increased practicality and esteem. You are more reliable than usual. You are learning to procrastinate less.
Uranus begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh house. Close relationships may receive a shake-down of sorts, and you may feel that it’s hard to truly rely on a partner. Lifeless or outworn relationships may become harder to bear. Some trial and error in relationships is par for the course with Uranus in this sector of your chart. People in your life may be surprised at your displays of independence. You don’t care for taking orders, and any attempts to limit you are likely to be met with great resistance or downright rebelliousness on your part. Some of you may find your current partnership limiting and you could either end it or experience tension as you explore ways to break free from restriction. Some of you could experience erratic or rebellious behavior in a close partner, and this could have you on your toes, wondering what’s next. Uranus is opposing your Sun/Ascendant, pointing to intensity with these themes.
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar fifth house this year, as it has been doing for a number of years, casting some initial “fog” over your heartfelt endeavors, including romance and creative projects, after which you tune into a more spiritual path regarding these matters. 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 satisfying creative outlet. Neptune will not reach the solar sixth house of your Libra decan for many more years.
Note: Neptune continues to transit Pisces, but it travels through the 9- to 14-degree range. Neptune will not reach the beginning of your decan until 2020.
Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar third house this year. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your mindset. This is a time for deep thinking, exposing truths, research, and investigation. You might question a lot of things, including knowledge and information you’ve learned in the past. You might begin an intensive line of study. You may have disdain for superficial or fluffy conversation, preferring deeper subject matter.
Expectations transform again this year. Intensity and passion are craved now when it comes to your personal projects, interests, learning, and communications, and mediocre will no longer do.
Until November 2017, the North Node transits your solar eleventh house, and the North Node is pointing you in the direction of your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others - as well as your relationship with yourself - will benefit.
From November 2017 forward, the North Node transits your solar tenth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your career and public life. This is a time for putting yourself out there and for meeting your responsibilities.
*Please note: starting and ending dates are not fixed for any sign and they can vary slightly depending on the year you were born. If you are born near one of these dates and are unsure of your Sun sign, see What’s My Sun Sign?.
