2021: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Libra (All):
Note: The summary of the year resides here; the details are below.
Your worlds of creativity, fun, or romance are in the spotlight, dear Libra. The desire or need to build new structures and make improvements to these areas of life is strong in 2021.
This year, Jupiter brings fullness to your life in the areas of recreation, romance, and creativity. Many opportunities arise for you to enjoy yourself. With Jupiter moving in harmony with your sign much of 2021, you’re taking things in stride.
With Saturn in this same area of your solar chart, you might streamline and improve channels for expressing yourself, make better use of your leisure time, or pour more energy into a particular craft or hobby.
You’re gaining a more realistic, healthy confidence in your value and creativity and a stronger sense of what–and who–you love. Matters of the heart are clearer, and the time you take for leisure or play is more structured and defined.
There’s a continued challenge to branch out and expand your mental horizons this year as the North Node moves through your sector of beliefs, ideas, and adventure. There may be some drama surrounding communication, modes of transportation, mobility, neighbors, or siblings. Different channels for communicating and commuting methods are possible, and they may include new publishing avenues, communication equipment, a new vehicle, or other such facilitators.
You’re reaching a turning point with recreation, romance, and pleasure. You’re coming out of your shell and ready to share yourself with the world. New adventures, whether on the physical or mental plane, await. You may very well monetize a hobby or solidify a relationship or project.
Whatever it is that is your “joy” at this point in your life–whether it is a creative project, romantic relationship, children, entertainment, or a special pastime or hobby–is where you’re ready to buckle down, focus, and improve. Combining the responsible and more playful elements of your interactions can be most successful.
From mid-May to the end of July, you can enjoy increased opportunities for work (possibly even a little too many!) and more interest in, and enjoyment of, health routines, self-care improvements, and work projects. This theme will develop more fully in 2022.
You are approaching intimacy and relationships in unconventional ways this year. Your creative or romantic life or recreational pursuits are expanding and developing in some ways, but these areas are simplified and disciplined in others. You can find it satisfying to hunker down and get serious about love and joy! You’re a little more practical and cautious with matters of the heart and personal enjoyment.
You’ll appreciate a largely more stable vibe to the year, and bringing a little more structure to your activities can improve your mood and outlook.
Key Events in 2021 for Libra:
Outer Planet Transits:
Jupiter square Uranus and sextile Chiron in January. These aspects can produce some rebellion and a strong desire to break free from limiting circumstances. While we should watch for abrupt moves, it’s also a good time to open our minds to new methods.
For Libra, you can feel conflicted as your pursuit of pleasure seems to clash with your need for more absorbing activities. You could find yourself acting upon impulses that seem, on the surface of things, beyond your control. You could be searching for ego-gratifying experiences, which may not sit well with others or could leave you feeling unsatisfied in the long run.
Unsettled financial matters could also get in the way of your desire to indulge in extra-curricular activities. Tensions now tend to stem from a desire to take on too much, too fast. The desire to grow and improve is valid, but you can’t afford to take on everything at once. People may be bringing surprises or changes to your intimate world or your financial situation. You might instead choose to make changes, and this can come on suddenly.
Nevertheless, you’re in fine shape for repairing relationships or boosting a bond by drawing upon the power of sensitivity, listening skills, and understanding. Your sensitivity to people’s troubles comes from your own struggles, and your personal wisdom can help others. Your faith in your creative output or romantic life is building.
Jupiter trine the North Node of the Moon in February and Saturn trine North Node in April. These aspects increase our willingness to grow, learn, improve, and develop, moving past our fears. We are ready to embrace new methods and attitudes, leaving behind those no longer serving our growth. Our conscience is well-developed. We’re more inclined than usual to believe in the power of the group and of words to convey our message.
It’s a fine time for publishing, community involvement, teaching, guiding, and learning. Harmonizing through shared ideas and ideals can figure very strongly at this time.
This is a powerful time for connecting with people or information that supports creative expression, love, personal fulfillment and enjoyment, education, and spirit. It’s a good time for new creative or educational pursuits/projects. For some, this can be the start of a significant longer-term love affair.
It’s also an important period for seeing where you can learn from others’ perspectives.
Saturn square Uranus from February to December. Our needs for freedom and spontaneity seem to clash with a need for structure and stability. Rules and limitations are hard to tolerate, but without some lines drawn, life feels too chaotic. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality tend to undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits.
For Libra, giving too much of your time and/or resources to others may be an issue now, and could leave you feeling discouraged if they’re not appreciating your efforts. Avoid financial speculation during this period. The desire for more freedom from obligations to others can seem to clash with more commitment in your love life, with children, or to creative and leisure pursuits.
You’re breaking free of unhealthy dependencies and attachments this year, and it can be somewhat rough going as you figure out what those are. Ultimately, however, it’s a good time to clear the deck for new beginnings. You’re no longer tolerant of unsupportive relationships and superficial pastimes or hobbies.
Your strong sense of responsibility should get you on the right track. Fortunately, we have the following influence helping to soften some of the rough edges:
Saturn sextile Chiron from February to November. This transit helps us feel competent, effective, and secure. We have a strong sense of both tradition and innovation. We are also more able to express our unique qualities or to go our own way, without stirring up controversy if we act in a professional, respectful manner. There’s no need for show-boating with this aspect. With humility and realism, chances of success increase.
For Libra, it’s a powerful time for authenticity, particularly in your relationships, partnerships, dating life, with children, and in your creative/leisure world. You’re more realistic and humble, or you’re attracting these qualities in people into your circle.
Other significant influences and minor transits:
Sun conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius on the day of a Full Moon in Leo. This influence is in effect from January 26-28. It’s an opportunity period for you with creativity, pleasure, hobbies, entertainment, leisure, love, romance, and children. Your social life, friendship, or happiness goals or realization of your true feelings on a matter can motivate you to make improvements to your love life or leisure time.
In the first two-and-a-half weeks of February, the sign of Aquarius is in powerful emphasis. A high number of points occupy the sign of Aquarius at this time, including the Moon on the 10-12. The New Moon on February 11th pulls all of this together. This brings an unusual amount of cosmic activity to your sector of joy. Activities, significant events, and opportunities can emerge related to dating or romance, the pursuit of joy, pleasure and leisure. There can be meaningful opportunities to enjoy yourself more fully.
With so many influences in the sign of Aquarius, you have more power to direct into your creative, love, or leisure pursuits.
Venus is retrograde from December 19th. Venus is retrograde in the sign of Capricorn from December 19th, 2021, to January 29, 2022.
For all signs, love, finance, and pleasure matters are not straightforward during this period–it’s a time to review our attitudes, feelings, and satisfaction levels rather than forge ahead boldly into new love relationships or financial projects. It may be best to avoid any major decisions about love (and finances) during this cycle.
While Venus is retrograde for these six weeks, people are a little more cautious and tight-fisted when it comes to generosity with their heart and their money!
Because Venus is in your home and family sector during this retrograde. As Venus retraces its steps in your family and home sector, you may be finding ways to improve your domestic world. You could be dealing with some uncomfortable conditions in the home or with family that helps get the ball rolling, or you could be revisiting old personal or domestic problems. It’s a time for understanding problems and for reassessing your values and needs.
There may be some comfort issues to deal with, or on a psychological level, you could experience some lack of support that requires a different approach. Relationship problems can magnify during a Venus retrograde cycle, but this can help you see where to make changes and improvements.

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.
Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease can help you 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:
Libra 2021

Legend for the Table Above
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 a direct, harmonious relationship with your sign).
Jupiter=Luck, Confidence,
Expansion, Growth, Hope, Improvement, Spirit
Saturn=Restriction, Structure, Simplicity, Realism
Uranus=Innovation, Excitement, Unrest, Rebellion, Change
Neptune=Inspiration, Spirit, Confusion, Dissolution, Enlightenment
Pluto=Upheaval, Transformation, Rebirth, Unearthing, Excavation, Power
Chiron=Vulnerability, Wisdom, Healing, Wholeness, Non-conformity
North Node=Life Lesson, Growth, Improvement, Challenge
It’s clear from the table above that the distribution of challenges, neutral, and harmonious influences in 2021 is rather even. There is a bit more of the harmony, and that’s largely due to Jupiter and Saturn’s move into harmony with your sign. It can feel great!
Saturn is now in harmony and supportive aspect to your sign all year, and it’s a stabilizing influence.

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:
There was more stress and pressure on you last year, but in 2021, you have more support from the outer planets.
Horoscopes can help you see which energies are challenging you to make changes and which ones are encouraging you to reap the rewards of previous challenges. Saturn has moved into harmony with your sign, and it’s a nice, protective, stabilizing influence.
Areas of change seem to be shared resources, debts, support, and intimacy, as well as home and family, although these last two areas are far less pressurized than they have been in recent years.
With intimacy and shared resources, you’re less attached, which changes your approach to them completely. You’re doing money, dependencies, attachments, jealousy, and even sex differently with Uranus in your solar eighth house again this year.
Fortunately, this is a powerful year for creativity, love, joy, plesaure, and self-expression. Your confidence grows. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

2021: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Until May 13th, and then from July 28th to December 28th,
Jupiter continues to move through your solar fifth house, and you are likely to see benefits, and experience growth, in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children.
Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun.
For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else's creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby.
Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward. Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth.
You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For those of you who are single, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it's more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership. Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments.
Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you've always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth.
Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around!
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 a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so.
A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments. However, this is typically one of those periods that one looks back upon fondly.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house from January 1-May 13, and from October 18-December 28.
Jupiter transits trine your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you genuinely enjoy life, appreciating the good things, and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.
From May 13th to July 28th, and then from December 28th forward,
Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is transiting your solar sixth house. During this cycle, 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 now, 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. Watch that overconfidence doesn't lead you to overload your plate.
You are bringing fresh and original ideas to the work you do and the services you offer.
Saturn transits your solar fifth house this year. This influence only just got started last year and is now revving up.
Saturn's influence is rather somber and serious, but also responsible and practical. You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed! While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent period for monetizing any personal hobby - turning it into a business, even if it's a sideline one. Bringing more structure to your play time or to a creative talent can also figure strongly now.
If you have children, they may need more discipline or structure than they previously did at this stage. Some of you may be welcoming children into your life and discovering all of the responsibilities that come along with it. Others who already have children may find that they're at an age that requires more attention and discipline, or structure.
In the romance department, Saturn's influence can go either way. For some, romance may feel lacking or a romantic relationship could be more practical than fun. Tests or pressures on an existing romance could figure now. Casual relationships and dating may be nonexistent, or lean. For those of you who have recently entered a romance, you are beginning to look at it more seriously and critically. For others, a romantic relationship stabilizes and becomes more serious. Some of you will meet a new romantic interest who is perhaps older or mature, thus "meeting Saturn" through a person.
Those of you who are dating might feel some loneliness, as it can be hard to find what you are looking for at this time. An existing romance may be tested but strong ones strengthen further. A romantic partner could feel like a "heavy" at this time, or you might feel restricted in terms of making acquaintances and enjoying other people's company. In other words, there is somewhat heavy energy surrounding fifth house matters. For those single and looking, be careful that you don't project a negative attitude without even realizing it, as this can intimidate some.
Creatively speaking, you are a little more serious in your approach. You might be turning a hobby into a business now, or you might find that there is less time for creative hobbies, pastimes, amusements, and entertainment. Your work can require more show, drama, creativity, and entertainment value, and may be a hobby-turned-business. Romance and work can be tied together in some significant way. Some of you could be working hard on, and putting a lot of effort into, creative hobbies or pastimes.
Uranus continues its transit of your solar eighth house this year.
There could be some ambiguities or unexpected happenings surrounding non-income sources of money during this long-term transit. This includes such things as shared resources with a close partner, alimony, taxes, loans, and so forth. At times, this unpredictability could throw you off balance. This position might also indicate a period of uncertainty surrounding your intimate relationships, and/or some experimentation with your sexuality.
You will be learning a lesson in detachment during this cycle - sudden changes in the support you receive from others can force you to become more independent financially, for example. Prepare yourself for fluctuations by settling as many debts as you can. Watch for gambling or risk-taking with money (and a partner who may be doing same).
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar sixth house this year.
Neptune here may cast some "fog" over your working life, health, and habits. 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. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may be steering toward compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Neptune's presence here makes it rather challenging to stick to regular schedules and routines. There can be some level of disarray in your daily life at this time. Watch closely for carelessness or neglect when it comes to your health. Your motivations or attitudes toward work can gradually change during this transit.
The acute elements of this influence are long behind you.Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth house this year. The acute elements of this transit are long behind you. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your home or family life and your psyche. Your needs for nurture transform and evolve. Pluto transiting your solar fourth house is a very long-term transit that gradually brings changes to the basic domestic structure. Your connections to family members can evolve on a fundamental level, especially 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 handled. 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, however, 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 ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) – 10 to 20 degrees Libra (2ND DECAN):
2021: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
From February 1st onward,
Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is transiting your solar fifth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits and experience growth in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store.

Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For those of you who are single, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it's more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership.
Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments.
Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you've always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth.

You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around!
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 a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude.
You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments.
However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident during this approximately year-long cycle. This is a time for trying new things, beginning new ventures, and sticking your neck out. Creativity finds a successful channel or outlet.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from February 1-May 13, and from October 18th forward.
Jupiter transits trine your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you genuinely enjoy life, appreciating the good things, and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.
Saturn transits your solar fourth house (until March 2021). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that was two years ago! You are now taking this transit increasingly in stride as you get more comfortable with this energy–this transit is on its way out now.
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. This can benefit you greatly in the long run!
During this transit, you're likely to 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 or the move might be a source of stress and worry; or you may be downsizing.
This may not be a time when you feel particularly brave in the outer world. However, reorganization in your home, and more importantly, in your soul/personal life, 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 may have limited your opportunities because of early conditioning. A feeling of being alone and unsupported in life may dominate at times now. Some may experience some distancing or frustrations regarding your parents. Family obligations may seem to 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 environment. 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 occur so that you start work on making improvements and 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! Working from home is a strong possibility during this period. Bringing more structure and discipline to your domestic life may be in order, and is likely to work very well in your favor. By the end of this transit, your home is likely to be in tip-top shape and family life should be more organized.
Saturn transits your solar fifth house from March forward. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that’s 2021!
Saturn's influence is rather somber and serious, but also responsible and practical. You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed! While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent period for monetizing any personal hobby - turning it into a business, even if it's a sideline one.

In the romance department, Saturn's influence can go either way. For some, romance may feel lacking or a romantic relationship could be more practical than fun. Tests or pressures on an existing romance could figure now. Casual relationships and dating may be nonexistent, or lean. For those of you who have recently entered a romance, you are beginning to look at it more seriously and critically. For others, a romantic relationship stabilizes and becomes more serious.

Creatively speaking, you are a little more serious in your approach. You might be turning a hobby into a business now, or you might find that there is less time for creative hobbies, pastimes, amusements, and entertainment. Your work can require more show, drama, creativity, and entertainment value, and may be a hobby-turned-business. Romance and work can be tied together in some significant way. Some of you could be working hard on, and putting a lot of effort into, creative hobbies or pastimes.
Saturn trines your Sun this year, and this helps you to better focus on your goals. This transit is a stabilizing one–others know they can rely on you, and you on them! Your vision is all the more realistic now, and pleasingly so. You work steadily and determinedly towards your goals. Authority figures and elders tend to look favorably upon you. This aspect goes a long way toward steadying and balancing your life. This is a wonderful time for self-discipline.
Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh house this year for many of you.
With its long-term transit of your partnership sector, Uranus has a way of shaking up close relationships or you may receive a shake-down of sorts related to how you view others and partnerships. Some of you can feel that it's hard to truly rely on a partner or a partnership. 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.
There can be some relationship 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. Sometimes this transit relates to periods when sudden relationship changes occur, whether it's a sudden move out of or into a partnership. You may be attracting someone who is unusual, different, or who is entirely not your usual "type." In fact, this is a powerful time for breaking out of limiting relating patterns and starting fresh. Your relationships require new or fewer "rules" now.
Although Uranus is transiting the sign of Taurus which is the sign on your solar eighth house, Uranus only dips into the degrees of your decan this year, and will transit your solar eighth house more consistently in upcoming years.
However, those born on October 4-9 and those with a 10-15 degree Libra Ascendant will experience the Uranus transit to the eighth house in 2021. (For the rest of you, this transit will happen in 2022.) For this group:
There could be some ambiguities or unexpected happenings surrounding non-income sources of money during this long-term transit. This includes such things as shared resources with a close partner, alimony, taxes, loans, and so forth. At times, this unpredictability could throw you off balance. This position might also indicate a period of uncertainty surrounding your intimate relationships, and/or some experimentation with your sexuality.
You will be learning a lesson in detachment during this cycle - sudden changes in the support you receive from others can force you to become more independent financially, for example. Prepare yourself for fluctuations by settling as many debts as you can. Watch for gambling or risk-taking with money (and a partner who may be doing same).
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar sixth house. Neptune here may cast some "fog" over your working life, health, and habits. 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. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may be steering toward compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Neptune's presence here makes it rather challenging to stick to regular schedules and routines. There can be some level of disarray in your daily life at this time. Watch closely for carelessness or neglect when it comes to your health. Your motivations or attitudes toward work can gradually change during this transit.
Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth house this year.
This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your home or family life and your psyche. Your needs for nurture transform and evolve. Pluto transiting your solar fourth house is a very long-term transit that gradually brings changes to the basic domestic structure. Your connections to family members can evolve on a fundamental level, especially 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 handled. 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, however, 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.
The acute elements of this Pluto transit are behind you in 2021.
Until mid-July, the North Node transits your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.
From mid-July forward, the North Node transits your solar eighth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your attachments to others, your own feelings of being empowered, and your ability to share yourself with others.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) – 20 to 30 degrees Libra (3rd DECAN):
2021: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
From mid-March forward,
Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is transiting your solar fifth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits and experience growth in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store.
Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else's creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward.
Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For those of you who are single, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it's more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership.
Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments.
Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you've always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth.
Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves.
You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around!
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 a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude.
You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments.
However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident during this approximately year-long cycle. This is a time for trying new things, beginning new ventures, and sticking your neck out. Creativity finds a successful channel or outlet.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from March 16-May 13, and from October 18-forward.
Jupiter transits trine your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you genuinely enjoy life, appreciating the good things, and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.
Saturn transits your solar fourth house this year. This transit will run until March 2022 for your decan.
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. This can benefit you greatly in the long run!
During this transit, you're likely to 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 or the move might be a source of stress and worry; or you may be downsizing.
This may not be a time when you feel particularly brave in the outer world. However, reorganization in your home, and more importantly, in your soul/personal life, 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 may have limited your opportunities because of early conditioning. A feeling of being alone and unsupported in life may dominate at times now. Some may experience some distancing or frustrations regarding your parents. Family obligations may seem to 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 environment. 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 occur so that you start work on making improvements and 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! Working from home is a strong possibility during this period. Bringing more structure and discipline to your domestic life may be in order, and is likely to work very well in your favor. By the end of this transit, your home is likely to be in tip-top shape and family life should be more organized.
The more intense or acute elements of this transit occurred for you last year. You’ve likely now grown more accustomed to the energies.
Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh house. With its long-term transit of your partnership sector, Uranus has a way of shaking up close relationships or you may receive a shake-down of sorts related to how you view others and partnerships. Some of you can feel that it's hard to truly rely on a partner or a partnership. 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. There can be some relationship 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. Sometimes this transit relates to periods when sudden relationship changes occur, whether it's a sudden move out of or into a partnership. You may be attracting someone who is unusual, different, or who is entirely not your usual "type." In fact, this is a powerful time for breaking out of limiting relating patterns and starting fresh. Your relationships require new or fewer "rules" now.
Although Uranus is in Taurus, Uranus will not reach your decan’s eighth house cusp in 2021.
Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar fifth house this year for most of you, as it has been doing for a number of years.
This very long-term transit can cast some initial "fog" over your heartfelt endeavors, including romance and creative projects, after which you tune into a more spiritual path regarding these matters. During this transit, 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 if this is the case. 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 outlets. This is a positively brilliant period for discovering or enhancing your artistic talents.
However, those born with the Sun (October 14 to 16) or Ascendant at 20 to 23 degrees Libra experience the beginnings of Neptune’s transit to the solar sixth house this year:
Neptune here may cast some "fog" over your working life, health, and habits. 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. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may be steering toward compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Neptune's presence here makes it rather challenging to stick to regular schedules and routines. There can be some level of disarray in your daily life at this time. Watch closely for carelessness or neglect when it comes to your health. Your motivations or attitudes toward work can gradually change during this transit.
Pluto begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth this year for those born approximately from 20 to 27 degrees Libra.
This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your home or family life and your psyche. Your needs for nurture transform and evolve. Pluto transiting your solar fourth house is a very long-term transit that gradually brings changes to the basic domestic structure. Your connections to family members can evolve on a fundamental level, especially 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 handled. 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, however, 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.
Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar third house this year for those born with 28-30 degrees Libra. 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 during this period. You may have disdain for superficial or fluffy conversation, preferring deeper subject matter. Expectations transform this year. Intensity and passion are craved when it comes to your personal projects, interests, learning, and communications, and mediocre will no longer do in these areas! You’ve been going through this process for many years now.
This year, the North Node transits your solar eighth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your attachments to others, your own feelings of being empowered, and your ability to share yourself with others.
*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?.
