Libra Monthly Horoscope – June 2018

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:

June 2018 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 21st:

The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.

It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.

From June 21st forward:

The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.

You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 13th: 

Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

From June 13th forward: 

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 12th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.

From June 12-29: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.

You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

From June 29th forward: 

Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.

As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of close partnering and negotiations because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Enthusiasm for a partnership or coming from a partner could be waning or not as clear. A partner could seem to be less direct or hard to reach. Partnering projects or initiatives, or negotiations, could stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in a one-to-one manner. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness in your partnerships, and learn from experiences with these things.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar fifth house during this period, enthusiasm for romance or creative project could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. A relationship with a lover or a child could become more complicated or possibly exhausting. Desires can be hard to read for existing relationships - both yours and those of a lover. There can be a change of heart, or you could be questioning what you've been pursuing in love, and a new approach becomes necessary. There could be waning interest in a hobby or a return to an old one. Some of you could be excessively preoccupied with a love relationship. New initiatives with fifth house matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in fifth house areas of life--creativity self-expression, recreation, children, and romance. Caution and perhaps anxiety or confusion begin to dominate. You might feel less confident, or you could lack motivation now. Watch for pent-up anger, frustration, and passive-aggressiveness with a lover or with your children, if applicable. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Monthly Libra Horoscope: The first few weeks of June are mostly outgoing and forward-focused, dear Libra, although there are some quiet moments, too. You're motivated to explore, learn, and discover new things. Excitement and enthusiasm to soak in information and acquire new knowledge figures strongly now. You want to move out of your comfort zone when it comes to learning, thinking, and doing, and while the New Moon on the 13th can bring out opportunities to do so, the days before this lunation are valuable for new ideas and plans. You express yourself with more enthusiasm and faith, and this goes over very well with others. Seek out inspiration from new people, places, information, or experiences for best results during this period.

Gaining perspective on a matter and drawing meaningful conclusions around the 4-5 can be satisfying. There can be a significant discovery or connection made now. Conversations, news, and thoughts occur that help you clear up misconceptions and make definite plans. Blanks are filled in, mainly related to studies, personal interests, travel, or a communications project. You more thoroughly enjoy sharing your ideas, beliefs, and personal philosophies with others.

While there is a strong theme of spirit, learning, and exploration this month, you have Venus at the top of your solar chart until the 13th, and then Mercury and the Sun in this career- and image-oriented sector from the 12th and 21st, respectively. As such, career, public life, responsibilities, obligations, long-term goals, and direction are all strong themes for you in June. With Venus here, you are pulling in desirable attention, and you may receive some nice offers or recognition. It's a time for catching some breaks. If your reputation could use a boost, this is a good time for doing some PR or for getting closer to bosses, parents, and the like. Your love life may be more public than usual, or you may be drawing upon your people skills more than usual in your work.

From the 13th, you have Venus moving in harmony with your sign and gracing the social sector of your solar chart. This transit encourages harmony, balance, and general benefits to your social life. It helps balance things out, too.

Mars and Neptune turn retrograde this month, suggesting some need to slow things down. Neptune's retrograde cycle last five months and happens every year, while Mars' retrograde is far less common. Desires and impulses can be confusing or even misleading from mid-month. It's not the best time to see yourself or your life clearly but consider that definition is not what you need at the moment! With Neptune stationary retrograde in your solar sixth house on the 18th, there can be a small disappointment in work, service, or health areas that might be discouraging at first, but ultimately redirects you on a more appropriate path. Keep in mind that this is temporary and serves a useful purpose as questioning can lead to the making of necessary adjustments and reassessments.

The 19-20 is particularly strong for connecting with your dreams and goals. Your instincts are powerful for what to say and how to say it, particularly with the public or with your work. The finer things in life have special appeal and may be a significant motivating factor for the plans you make now. Optimism and a positive outlook bring opportunities into your life, and your imagination can lead to wonderful new ideas for getting where you want to go. Business thinking is also creative.

An opposition between Venus and Mars happens on the 21st just as the Sun moves into your career sector. There may be a frustrating situation that leaves you feeling blocked from pursuing your desires or confused about what it is you want. You may be dealing with a perplexing social situation for which there seems to be no real solution, at least not in the short term. Try not to project fantasies on people and situations, as you may make more of them than they deserve, good or bad! Avoid making a stand or show right now, as you may regret it later when your head is clearer.

From the 21st, you're especially invested in your performance, and you can be highly motivated to take care of business. Your ambitions are stimulated now. You could find yourself in higher demand than usual, both personally and professionally.

With Mars retrograde in your solar fifth house from the 26th forward, some of you could be feeling a little stuck creatively speaking. Your social life, in general, can run into some complications. Some challenges can surface in a romantic relationship or relationships with your children this month and next. Avoidance is a strong tendency right now, but not advised. It's time to make some changes in your approach to pursuing your desires the giving of others some space. Mars will later back into your home and family sector (from August 12-27), but for now, increased attention to your creative and recreational activities is likely.

This is a time for reassessing how you approach recreation, work-play balance, lovers, love interests, and dating in general. You may decide to employ more strategy or to think ahead before jumping in. You may be turning to the past for answers, and slowdowns or delays in projects in addition to evolving motivation and interest levels can be part of the picture. There can be a change of heart, or you could be questioning what you love, and a new approach becomes necessary.

The 27-28 brings a Full Moon in your home and family sector and a Sun-Saturn opposition activating the same area of your chart. This may serve to put the fun on hold just long enough to correct some errors or redirect you if you've steered off-course. As much as you're gunning for your worldly or career goals and success at this time, there can be interruptions related to household or family responsibilities, restructuring, or some personal reservations and fears of exposure or risk. This is a time for examining whether you're being practical or self-limiting. If you've been neglecting specific responsibilities, you'll feel relieved to deal with them now. You may very well find that you wasted too much energy dreading something that was much easier than you'd imagined! A better work-home balance seems more doable.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:

June 2018 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.

A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 22nd: 

Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

From June 22nd forward: 

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until June 3rd:

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.

You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

From June 3-17: 

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.

You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

From June 17th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.

You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of close partnering and negotiations because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Enthusiasm for a partnership or coming from a partner could be waning or not as clear. A partner could seem to be less direct or hard to reach. Partnering projects or initiatives, or negotiations, could stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in a one-to-one manner. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness in your partnerships, and learn from experiences with these things.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar fourth house during this period, household projects may slow down or stall. Repairs may need to be done, or circumstances are such that living conditions seem unstable or in need of review. Perhaps the enthusiasm that you have been building for work around the house is lessening. You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, or you feel that this position is no longer in your hands, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may get worked up about old problems or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. It's time to review how you have been handling your assertiveness on the home front and with family.

June 2018 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 10th:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level.

From June 10th forward:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months.

In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.

From June 5th forward: 

Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely.

You want to move out of your comfort zone when it comes to learning, thinking, and doing, and while the New Moon on the 13th can bring out opportunities to do so, the days before this lunation are valuable for new ideas and plans. You express yourself with more enthusiasm and faith, and this goes over very well with others. Seek out inspiration from new people, places, information, or experiences for best results during this period.

Gaining perspective on a matter and drawing meaningful conclusions around the 4-5 can be satisfying. There can be a significant discovery or connection made now. Conversations, news, and thoughts occur that help you clear up misconceptions and make definite plans. Blanks are filled in, mainly related to studies, personal interests, travel, or a communications project. You more thoroughly enjoy sharing your ideas, beliefs, and personal philosophies with others.

While there is a strong theme of spirit, learning, and exploration this month, you have Venus at the top of your solar chart until the 13th, and then Mercury and the Sun in this career- and image-oriented sector from the 12th and 21st, respectively. As such, career, public life, responsibilities, obligations, long-term goals, and direction are all strong themes for you in June. With Venus here, you are pulling in desirable attention, and you may receive some nice offers or recognition. It's a time for catching some breaks. If your reputation could use a boost, this is a good time for doing some PR or for getting closer to bosses, parents, and the like. Your love life may be more public than usual, or you may be drawing upon your people skills more than usual in your work.

From the 13th, you have Venus moving in harmony with your sign and gracing the social sector of your solar chart. This transit encourages harmony, balance, and general benefits to your social life. It helps balance things out, too.

Mars and Neptune turn retrograde this month, suggesting some need to slow things down. Neptune's retrograde cycle last five months and happens every year, while Mars' retrograde is far less common. Desires and impulses can be confusing or even misleading from mid-month. It's not the best time to see yourself or your life clearly but consider that definition is not what you need at the moment! With Neptune stationary retrograde in your solar sixth house on the 18th, there can be a small disappointment in work, service, or health areas that might be discouraging at first, but ultimately redirects you on a more appropriate path. Keep in mind that this is temporary and serves a useful purpose as questioning can lead to the making of necessary adjustments and reassessments.

The 19-20 is particularly strong for connecting with your dreams and goals. Your instincts are powerful for what to say and how to say it, particularly with the public or with your work. The finer things in life have special appeal and may be a significant motivating factor for the plans you make now. Optimism and a positive outlook bring opportunities into your life, and your imagination can lead to wonderful new ideas for getting where you want to go. Business thinking is also creative.

An opposition between Venus and Mars happens on the 21st just as the Sun moves into your career sector. There may be a frustrating situation that leaves you feeling blocked from pursuing your desires or confused about what it is you want. You may be dealing with a perplexing social situation for which there seems to be no real solution, at least not in the short term. Try not to project fantasies on people and situations, as you may make more of them than they deserve, good or bad! Avoid making a stand or show right now, as you may regret it later when your head is clearer.

From the 21st, you're especially invested in your performance, and you can be highly motivated to take care of business. Your ambitions are stimulated now. You could find yourself in higher demand than usual, both personally and professionally.

With Mars retrograde in your solar fifth house from the 26th forward, some of you could be feeling a little stuck creatively speaking. Your social life, in general, can run into some complications. Some challenges can surface in a romantic relationship or relationships with your children this month and next. Avoidance is a strong tendency right now, but not advised. It's time to make some changes in your approach to pursuing your desires the giving of others some space. Mars will later back into your home and family sector (from August 12-27), but for now, increased attention to your creative and recreational activities is likely.

This is a time for reassessing how you approach recreation, work-play balance, lovers, love interests, and dating in general. You may decide to employ more strategy or to think ahead before jumping in. You may be turning to the past for answers, and slowdowns or delays in projects in addition to evolving motivation and interest levels can be part of the picture. There can be a change of heart, or you could be questioning what you love, and a new approach becomes necessary.

The 27-28 brings a Full Moon in your home and family sector and a Sun-Saturn opposition activating the same area of your chart. This may serve to put the fun on hold just long enough to correct some errors or redirect you if you've steered off-course. As much as you're gunning for your worldly or career goals and success at this time, there can be interruptions related to household or family responsibilities, restructuring, or some personal reservations and fears of exposure or risk. This is a time for examining whether you're being practical or self-limiting. If you've been neglecting specific responsibilities, you'll feel relieved to deal with them now. You may very well find that you wasted too much energy dreading something that was much easier than you'd imagined! A better work-home balance seems more doable.
