Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 22

The Sun enters Libra today, but before it does, it forms a quincunx to Chiron, and we’re not allowing ourselves to shine fully. Doubting our effectiveness can subtly undermine our confidence. We may doubt our inner guide and face situations that seem to test our vulnerabilities. Some indecision is possible, and self-expression may feel choppy and unnatural at times.

We can also experience guilt about not dealing with problems head-on. However, our attempts to manage doubt and guilt today can help clear the path for opportunities later.

Today’s Jupiter-Neptune sesquiquadrate, and we may be questioning our projects or grappling with differing beliefs and expectations. We may need to tame expectations — of ourselves and of others — if they are unreasonably high. This may indicate an inability to focus on important, realistic details, some disorganization, and extravagance or exaggeration. Routine seems to be particularly unsatisfying now.

This is a time when we easily take a detour from a practical path. It can also be a time when we are disillusioned by something (or someone).

Spiritual inspiration is a potential, however, particularly today, with the Sun approaching a parallel to Neptune. Our stores of compassion and imagination are readily accessible, and we’re open to latching onto something that inspires us.

The Sun heads into Libra, and until October 23rd, we more often focus on balancing our personal environments and relationships. It’s a time for considering alternatives and others’ needs, agendas, and desires. Meeting people halfway, compromising, and negotiating come under the rule of Libra. Decision-making can be more challenging while the Sun is in Libra–we weigh both sides of any situation, and sometimes this process goes on too long!

In Libra, the Sun doesn’t want to rock the boat or rub people the wrong way. Tactfulness, style, tolerance, and sociability are key themes. On the shadow side, Libra can be indecisive, passive-aggressive, or superficial when challenged.
