2023: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Libra (All):
Note: The summary of the year resides here; the details are below.
Partnering brings rewards and discoveries this year, dear Libra, and your intimate world grows stronger. There can be joy in your partnerships and some blessings, although possibly some uprooting. Support is much easier to find. Your influence and powers of persuasion are growing. You’re beginning to recognize the value of leading a more scheduled, organized life in 2023.
Pluto has been in an incompatible sign for many years, and this sometimes magnifies your insecurities. Now that Pluto is beginning its transition into harmony with Libra, aim to harness its power to heal and strengthen by ridding yourself of attitudes and habits that make you feel less powerful. You’re learning to love and value yourself more.
You could also be working on perfecting and refining skills that are useful on the job. In fact, there can be quite a bit of focus on detail work this year and the next. Your day job, routines, or pursuit of wellness have been areas that are sometimes up in the air or chaotic, but this year, you’re more inclined to lock things down, get organized, and establish healthier routines.
You continue to prefer spending one-on-one time than interacting in group settings. It’s a time of more deeply exploring a relationship or passion project, and it’s very absorbing and rewarding.
Orderliness will be empowering this year and next, and paying closer attention to deadlines, details, and rules can help tidy up your mind and emotions so that you feel freer to enjoy yourself when pleasure calls.

Key Events in 2023 for Libra:
Outer Planet Transits:
Jupiter conjuncts Chiron in March and is parallel Chiron in April These influences encourage an increased need for greater understanding, wisdom, and awareness, as well as a stronger interest in the healing arts and holistic health. It may be a time when we update our personal belief system. The potential is high for working on ridding ourselves of negative attitudes that have held us back.
We can be especially interested in dealing with personal demons that have fractured our confidence and ability to assert our boundaries.
For Libra, this transit is powerful for healing a relationship or your attitude towards relating. You are especially willing to learn from and with others, and significant realizations about your relationships or relationship needs can be pivotal.
Jupiter forms a square to Pluto in May. We’re ambitious, feeling that if we set our sights high enough, we can achieve anything. However, treading lightly now, while it may not come naturally, is advised as it is easy to stir up conflict. We may take on too many interests, activities, or desires under this influence. We should avoid exaggerating our importance or power, whether to ourselves or others.
Something challenges our belief system, and the need for a major attitude change arises. Narrow-mindedness can be a problem. Trying to force our beliefs on others will only lead to frustration. The tendency now is to push too hard in general and to ignore the critical details. Thinking in big terms is fine as long as the practical elements of any pursuit are taken into consideration.
For Libra, consider whether you’re holding on too tightly to ideas of yourself or a relationship to your detriment, particularly if it’s blocking you from exploring your options and more fully enjoying yourself. Major shifts in your expectations from, and attitudes toward, romance can be issues, but any obsessiveness in this regard is likely due to fear. You may struggle between wanting more or less from a relationship. There can also be a strong need to release yourself from debts and obligations.
Jupiter conjuncts the True North Node in early June, increasing our desire to make contact with like-minded people or with those who can help push us in the direction of growth and improvement. It’s a time of positive interaction, learning, and guidance.
For Libra, you connect with the right resources or tools to feel more personally empowered or eliminate a bad habit, debt, or dependency. It’s a time to recognize your attachments and examine what you may be holding onto that keeps you from feeling personally powerful.
Jupiter forms a sextile with Saturn in June, bringing opportunities to put our plans into motion. We’re balanced in our approach to new endeavors, seeing both the potential benefits and pitfalls, and this improves our judgment. This influence helps us crystallize and lock down recent lessons learned and endeavors.
It’s a period of constructive accomplishment. We are practical, realistic, and our judgment is especially sound–and we derive much satisfaction from practical accomplishment. We find a good balance between planning and discovering.
It’s also a time when we value learning and sharing valid information from trustworthy sources. We respect reasonable, ethical, and sound approaches. The key to harnessing this wonderful energy is to identify and find pleasure in the simple things that make us happy.
For Libra, it’s a beneficial time for positive lifestyle changes that will benefit you for years to come. Your realism leads to a remarkable ability to make solid plans, particularly related to finances, relationships, health, diet, and work, with a special focus on balance. You can better manage your time and find jobs or routines more rewarding. Sensible fitness and health programs are in the spotlight. You can handle support, debts, and taxes logically and realistically.
Other significant influences and minor transits:
Mars is retrograde from October 30, 2022, to January 12, 2023, in the sign of Gemini (pre-retrograde shadow begins September 3). We can feel stuck on past relationships or situations, finding it difficult to move ahead. Slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations are significant.
Throughout this period, it’s appropriate to slow down, back up, and review. Enthusiasm for specific areas of life could change, particularly related to publishing, law, education, travel, and belief systems. Your approach to experiencing life to its fullest may need an adjustment now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.
There may be a turning to past projects for inspiration during this retrograde Mars cycle. There may be some things that catch up with you and prompt a need to review, return to a previous condition, or tie up loose ends. There can be treasures in old projects and connections; the trick is to approach them in new ways.
Venus is retrograde from July 22nd to September 3rd in the sign of Leo, bringing about a need to rethink or reassess our personal relationships. Past lovers may reappear and some relationships may end. Problems with fire, passion, and attention can be hot topics.
We might revisit our past loves–typically in the mind only, but for some, on a physical plane as well. It’s not a good time for major decision-making regarding love, as we might regret our choices later. Think of this time as a process–you need time to allow your heart to catch up with the rest of you, and so do others.
We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored just for now. It’s not the best period for entering a new relationship or making big purchases, because our sensors regarding love and money are not up to par.
For Libra, you are working toward harmony and balance with friends during this cycle. Whether your social life provides the warmth and pleasure you need can be in focus. You may be looking at your connections and friendships from a different angle. Friendships can enter tricky, complicated territory issues and possibly even people from the past can resurface. There can be renewed attention to past relationships, and you might reassess certain long-term goals.
Please note that these key dates are synopses — quick summaries of astro-events — that are covered more in-depth in the monthly horoscopes and daily horoscopes.

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:

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 2023 favors neutral energy, then challenging, then harmonious. Many areas of your life are status quo according to the outer planet influences!

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of 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 moves in harmony with your sign, and it’s a nice, protective, stabilizing influence, but this continues only until early March.
Saturn heads into your solar sixth house of work, habits, routines, and health, asking you to structure and organize your life in these areas. With Neptune a long-term guest in this sector, these matters may have been in some form of disarray or up in the air. Now, you’re taking steps to discipline yourself and get things in shape.
Areas of change seem to be shared resources, debts, support, and intimacy, as well as home, family, and recreation.
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 a relationship and perhaps attracting a close connection. Negotiating can prosper. Your confidence grows through the effort you put forth and the people in your life. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

2023: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Until May 16th:
Jupiter continues to move through your solar seventh house and you can enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements.
This is a period in which you are more likely to establish a significant partnership or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married or enter a long-term, committed partnership. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are that much more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships.
For those of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle.
The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor or you could benefit from help from the same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year.
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.
Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship or position. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.
From May 16th forward:
Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is moving through your solar eighth house. During this cycle, you may see benefits in any of the areas ruled by the eighth house - joint finances, shared resources, loans, taxes, sexuality, intimacy, healing, personal transformation, research, investigation, and psychological matters.
This is a time of increased psychological understanding, intimacy, and perhaps the accumulation of wealth if you manage your resources well. This is an excellent time to work on financial planning and strategy.
You are more capable of helping friends and loved ones who are dealing with a crisis - you can be leaned upon. Your ability to understand and accept anything that is deep in meaning or significant is enhanced now, and you instinctively realize that the path to healing is to face your fears. Others tend to be more supportive of you as well.
Any type of in-depth study or research is likely to go well. In some cases, a significant tax refund, inheritance, inheritance, or other such benefits might arrive during this transit. Financial gains may come through a partnership or there may be an increase in a spouse's income. Sensual or intimate opportunities are likely to abound, or your focus on one partner becomes more expansive, warm, and intimate.
This could be a time of purging yourself of literal or psychic "junk", as there is a sense that de-cluttering your life will be beneficial to your emotional well-being. Benefits can come through jointly held resources, loans, or taxes.
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. This can be an excellent time for eye-opening psychological discoveries that help you to liberate yourself from difficulties of the past or from attitudes that have been holding you back from moving forward.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar 8th house from May 16-September 4th.
Saturn transits your solar fifth house this year only until March 7th. This influence began in 2020 and wraps up now.
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.
From March 7th forward:
Saturn's influence here affects your job, daily routines, self-care efforts, and health. You may be taking on more responsibilities on the job or in another service-oriented capacity. For some of you, your job may have become rather tedious or downright boring, or working conditions may be poor, demanding, or frustrating -- at least, this is your perception of things -- and now you're taking steps to make improvements. For others, worries about your job could figure strongly. For many, duty often comes before pleasure during this period, and a tendency to work more or harder is likely. As long as this doesn't reach workaholic levels, you'll be just fine. In fact, it can be easier than usual to be sensible about your diet, health, hygiene, and fitness needs. Be aware of the need to know when enough is enough, however.
With Saturn turning a critical eye to work, daily functions, habits, and health, you are likely to feel some pressure to perform. You find yourself more accountable than ever when it comes to your work and output. Some of the questions that this cycle calls up include: How can you make the best use of your time? How can you manage your day-to-day life, and your body, better? You become more and more aware of all of the "fluff" that surrounds your daily routines and your work, and spring cleaning becomes necessary. This is an excellent period for starting new regimens to better your health and well-being, such as regular exercise, more structured and productive use of your time, and so forth. By the time this transit ends, you'll be considerably more productive, healthy, and focused. This is also an excellent time for simplifying and structuring your life in small but key ways.
Responsibilities in your daily life can weigh heavily at times - they appear magnified. While the work we do may sometimes feel too routine or boring, it can also give us a strong feeling of purpose. We want to be needed, we want to help and support others, and to do our share. If you've been overdoing a supportive role or if you've been scattering your energies and haven't truly noted just how much you do, then Saturn here will stimulate you to tidy up. In the end, you can, in fact, feel more joyful about the services you provide and the support you give, after taking a realistic look at these things and making the necessary adjustments.
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 until March 23rd and then from June 11th forward. 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.
Pluto begins its slow transition into the next house of your solar chart. In 2023, this occurs from March 23rd to June 11th:
This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but profound changes in attitudes towards love affairs, creativity, hobbies, recreation, children, self-expression, leisure time, and entertainment. You might feel that your affections and interests have been turned inside out or upside down - that on some levels, you are no longer the same person as a result. Expectations transform and evolve this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do.
Until July 17th, 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.
From July 17th, The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar seventh house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your partnerships. The challenge is to work on sensitizing yourself to the needs of others and to get over any fears of the demands a partner or significant other might make on you. Through partnership and through cooperation with others, you will more likely achieve the inner balance necessary for you to achieve your goals. During this period, try to include others more often in your pursuits, even if you often quite naturally fall back on going it alone. This is a period for learning what you need from relationships.

Saturn transits your solar fifth house. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that was 2021. In 2023, you’re more comfortable with this energy. Further, this transit is nearing an end.
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!

All year, The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar seventh house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your partnerships. The challenge is to work on sensitizing yourself to the needs of others and to get over any fears of the demands a partner or significant other might make on you. Through partnership and through cooperation with others, you will more likely achieve the inner balance necessary for you to achieve your goals. During this period, try to include others more often in your pursuits, even if you often quite naturally fall back on going it alone. This is a period for learning what you need from relationships.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) – 20 to 30 degrees Libra (3rd DECAN):
2023: Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
From April 4th forward:
Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, transits your solar seventh house. During this cycle, you may enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements.
This is a period of your life when you're more likely to establish a significant partnership, or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships.
For those of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals.
Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle.
The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from the same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities.
Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. 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.
Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.
Saturn transits your solar fifth house this year.
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 moves from one solar house to the next:
Until May 28th:
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.
From May 28th forward:
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 transits 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.
Pluto transits your solar fourth 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.
All year, The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar seventh house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your partnerships. The challenge is to work on sensitizing yourself to the needs of others and to get over any fears of the demands a partner or significant other might make on you. Through partnership and through cooperation with others, you will more likely achieve the inner balance necessary for you to achieve your goals. During this period, try to include others more often in your pursuits, even if you often quite naturally fall back on going it alone. This is a period for learning what you need from relationships.
