Areas of Expansion in 2018 for Libra:

Your Libra 2018 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Money
Possessions
Resources
Communications
Outlook
Making Connections
Transportation

Until November 8, 2018, money, personal possessions, and self-worth continue to expand, increase, improve, and grow. Your desire for security and comfort is hearty now, and you’ll pursue these things with more confidence and verve. You feel that you deserve more, and you do!

This is a strong time for buying long-term valuables. You are likely to make bigger decisions about your material resources during this period.

This cycle that’s been with you since October 2017 is favorable for attracting more money from your professional endeavors and for expanding a business. You might also more easily attract support from others, but be careful if you are suddenly in the position to receive, for example, a credit line or sizeable loan – spend wisely. You should certainly watch for overspending.

Potential difficulties: Be on the alert for an attitude towards money that is careless. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. If you’re overconfident about your ability to make money, then you might take foolish risks, such as borrowing too much from your future. Watch for over-indulgence. Be extra careful if lending or borrowing.

Otherwise, this is a good period for bringing a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, and to your practical affairs, including work. Writing and teaching or other communications or transportation fields can add to your income during this period. It’s a good time to enjoy yourself and get comfortable.

From November 8th onward, you are ready to take on big projects. Your confidence in the future is very strong during this cycle that will be with you until December 2019.

During this transit, your communications increase and expand. Your ability or desire to express yourself is greater now, and your personal interests grow. Good fortune with vehicles, transportation, through siblings, and with the communications industry can be experienced during this cycle. You are more perceptive, and others are more receptive to your ideas. New opportunities to communicate can open up to you. This can be a busy period for learning and can also be a time of setting up a more connected home environment.

Potential negatives: Taking on too many daily activities, communications, new interests, and learning endeavors or studies can be a problem now. Don’t overload your plate. Attention to family and around the home can be strong at times this year and can prevent you from getting everything done. There can be a real tendency to want to do it all, forgetting your limits regarding time and energy. Taking on too many projects or becoming too entrenched in details can cause problems.

However, for the most part, you are likely to enjoy more opportunities through your communications and contact with others during this cycle in 2018-2019. You might travel less and you’re busier locally. Your thinking is more upbeat, positive, and forward-looking, and so is the way you express yourself. In fact, this is an excellent time for improving your communication skills and your general attitude or mindset. There can be important opportunities through meetings, courses, teaching, and connections made in the neighborhood or through siblings. Some problems with siblings or neighbors could be put to rest now, although they might be magnified initially in order for problem areas to come out into the open and finally be resolved. You may be doing a lot of little jobs and your attention can spread over many tasks during this period.

You are more sociable, courteous, and reasonable in your communications, attracting opportunities to you. You may take on the role of a teacher, guide, or instructor during this cycle. You could find that transportation and communication options open up that make life a little (or a lot) more enjoyable during this pleasant period that spans thirteen months.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Libra 2018 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

Home
Family
Security

Until 2020, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that rules home, family, your roots, domestic activities, living conditions, and security. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life — as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Those things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence will stick with you until the year 2020. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Libra. This year, it impacts mostly those born in the first eleven days of Libra and those with a Libra Ascendant of 1-11 degrees.

You are becoming especially security-minded and you have a stronger need to live a more organized life. Some of you may be a little more private about your home life during this cycle. This is a good time to be more frugal due to your increased desire to feel secure and safe. You have or feel more responsibility to your home and family now. There may be some restrictions experienced in your living conditions or arrangements or circumstances tie you to your home or a particular place.

Tests can come to your home life this year. The responsibilities and demands of domestic life can run high. There can be a feeling that others are not as sympathetic to you, or that they leave you alone to your own defenses during this period. In truth, you are learning how to stand on your own two feet, as well as to meet your responsibilities and to fix whatever it is that you have let slide in the past. At the end of this cycle, you’ll have built a stronger foundation. You’ll see yourself and your family more clearly, and your expectations will be more realistic as a result.

You can be filled with desire, or circumstances create a need, for more structure in your home life. This is also a time for the very beginnings of a business project for some, and especially for those with a Libra Ascendant. This is a career building stage. It’s vital that you get your home and personal life into order so that you can move forward feeling rooted and secure. Saturn performs very well in this sector of your chart because Capricorn is associated with your solar fourth house and is one of the signs that Saturn rules. You understand this energy implicitly, so this transit feels more natural to you than most. The last time Saturn transited here was from 1988-1990.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Partnerships, Intimacy, Shared Finances

Your 2018 Libra Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which others may be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This influence is with you for some of 2018–until March 2019. However, from May 15th to November 6th, 2018, Uranus moves on before moving back to finish its journey here, so, in 2018, you’ll get a taste of similar themes from previous years as well as new themes, divided as follows:

Until May 15th and then after November 6th, you are more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric or unstable as close partners; or you attract these types of people into your experience without necessarily wanting to!

You are learning about giving freedom to others, and this isn’t always easy, particularly in early November and mid-December, when your comfort levels and sense of security or possessiveness may seem to work counter to these efforts. There can also be difficulties related to messy schedules or uncertainty about your work or health that impact your relationships.

As a Libra, learning to detach yourself from some of overly-dependent elements of partnering can be a difficult thing, but if you learn that you can, in fact, subsist independently, you are more able to relate to others on a healthy level, more able to choose what and who is right for you in a relationship, and less likely to allow others to take advantage of your obliging nature.

This can be a very friendly, progressive period. It’s a time for exploring, taking healthy risks on a social level, and letting go of preconceived ideas of what friendships and relationships “should” be. You can find it easier to agree to disagree. Alternative pairings and arrangements are possible.

This theme that’s been with you for many years is now fading out of your life, with a new one taking its place more officially in March 2019, but hints are happening now, as follows:

From May 15th to November 6th, you enter a lengthy period in which your intimate world and shared resources can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. Your intimate life and support systems from others are stimulated and opened. These areas of life can be the wildcard area of life, but also highly stimulating and innovative. You can become far more experimental regarding opening yourself up on sexual and intimate levels. You do need to watch for over-confidence with others who might squander your shared resources, however.

You will be learning a lesson in detachment during this cycle – sudden changes in the support you receive from others or outside sources can force you to become more independent financially. Prepare yourself for fluctuations by settling as many debts as you can and by working on boosting your personal income.

This can also be a highly creative time for handling money, talents, and relationships. The important thing with this transit is to open up to alternative, new, progressive, or non-traditional ways of doing things without throwing practical considerations out in the process.

Note that this influence kicks in more consistently from March 2019 forward (until April 2026).

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2018 Libra Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Family
Inner Foundations
Home Life
Friendships
Romance
Children
Creativity
Career

Attitudes towards home and family continue to transform this year. 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. Problems adjusting to changes are more likely in 2018 in late November, when personal needs and plans seem to conflict with the changes you’re engaged in on the inside, and with home or family life. However, you receive wonderful support for your efforts, particularly from January to September, when there may be additional resources or money to put into the family and home life, or when efforts to make you and yours feel more secure and safe have payoffs. Renovations on either physical or emotional planes are in order now.

In 2018, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your sectors of friendships, romantic relationships, and creative matters. These areas of life are going through transformations, sometimes dramatic ones. Friends and lovers may come and go, for example. This is a time for exploring your need to connect with a cause, group, or your community. One of the major keys to happiness this year until November 6th is learning to team up with others successfully instead of going it alone or pushing to stand out as unique.

The North Node of the Moon begins its transit of your career, life path, responsibilities, and reputation sector from November 6th forward, and you are called upon to sort out your life plan. This theme will develop more fully in 2019, but you’re getting an initial nudge to begin exploring it in the second half of 2018. This is about discovering your needs to balance professional and personal life. Nurture your desire to feel accomplished and to meet your responsibilities for best results now.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2018: Venus is your planetary ruler. Venus forms a freeing trine to your sign from January 17th to February 10th, and this is an especially warm and expressive period for you. More power to you when your ruler is in your sign, and this year, this period is from August 7th to September 8th and then October 31st to December 2nd (retrograde in your sign from October 31st to November 16th). Venus is retrograde from October 5th to November 16th, This can be a period of reflection, slowing down, and perhaps some backtracking. Venus in your sign for some of this retrograde period suggests you need to sort out what’s in your heart. When Venus is out of bounds until January 3rd and then from May 5th to June 7th, be a little more cautious and aware of a tendency to overdo.
