Greetings
to all astrology enthusiasts! On October 4th, the planet Mercury will enter the
sign of Libra. Mercury, also known as the "messenger of the Gods,"
governs communication, data, and planning. It will remain in Libra until
October 22nd, before moving on to Scorpio. Libra is often associated with
one-to-one relationships, diplomacy, balance, tact, and harmony. This transit
will provide diplomatic communication. Utilize this energy to work on your
one-to-one relationships and address pressing issues that may be difficult to
confront. Libra has a unique ability to separate matters of the head and heart,
allowing them to use their discernment without being clouded by emotions. This
period can also be used to focus on future plans. We will examine each rising
sign for a more detailed prediction of how this transit will personally affect
you. However, I want to highlight an important aspect that Mercury will
encounter during this time.
Mercury will oppose Neptune
In the first few days of this Mercury in Libra transit, there will be an important aspect to consider - Mercury opposing Neptune. This aspect may hinder communication initially. Neptune is associated with secrets, illusions, and fantasy. When two planets oppose each other, it creates a struggle for dominance and power. Therefore, constructive conversations can be overshadowed by Neptune's themes during these few days. Conversations may be confusing, and it may be challenging to distinguish reality from fantasy or truth from lies.
Mercury
in Libra for Your Sign
This transit will affect you based on your rising sign and your birth chart. If you have not looked up your birth chart information, now is a great time to do so. I recommend using the websites Café Astrology or Astroseek. You will need your birth time and location. Once you have this information, you can see what house (or area of life) this transit will be taking place for you. I typically like to use Whole Sign houses when making predictions like these!
Aries Rising
Now is an opportune moment to prioritize communication with your significant other, spouse, or potentially even a business partner. Take advantage of this time to talk through any issues that may be hindering your relationship's fulfillment. This is an ideal occasion to exchange ideas and engage in a productive conversation where both parties feel heard and appreciated. You will find that compromise and negotiation come more naturally during this period.
Taurus Rising
It might be helpful to evaluate your daily routines to determine what is working well and what could use some improvement. Two key areas to focus on are your work and your health. Currently, your work situation may be relatively calm and positive. You may find that you are getting along well with your boss, managers, and coworkers. This is a good opportunity to address any concerns or conflicts in the workplace, as others may be more open to finding a compromise. It is also a good time to assess your health habits. Consider revising or beginning a workout routine and making healthier dietary choices. Pay attention to your water intake as well.
Gemini Rising
If you're in a "situationship", it's important to assess whether it's bringing value to your life. Now is a good time to have a conversation about defining the relationship or deciding to move on. Alternatively, if both parties are in agreement and content with the status quo, that's fine too (I won't judge!). The key is to have an open and honest dialogue where both parties express their wants and needs. However, it's not recommended to have this conversation during the first few days of the Mercury in Libra transit. During this time, Mercury is opposing Neptune which may result in the other party lying or being unsure of their desires. It's also a good idea to check in with any children and address any issues that may be present. Finally, this is a perfect time to start that hobby you've been putting off.
Cancer Rising
During this period, you might find yourself more focused on your personal life and home. It could be worthwhile to evaluate your living space and ensure that it is a peaceful haven for you and your loved ones. You could also use this opportunity to have important conversations with family members if needed. It's possible that you have been overly critical or judgmental about past events in your home life, which could be rooted in childhood experiences. One potential theme during this phase could be about breaking the cycle of generational trauma. Reflecting on your upbringing could provide valuable insight into how you would like to raise your children, or not raise them in certain ways.
Leo Rising
During this period, you might notice that you are feeling more social. You may attend more events and have the opportunity to meet new people. You could even reconnect with old friends or family members whom you haven't spoken to in a while. It's also a good time to work on resolving any conflicts you may have with your siblings.
Virgo Rising
Now is an opportune moment to share your values with others, but not in a forceful manner of "this is my belief, so you must follow it too". Engaging in conversations with others can provide you with diverse and innovative perspectives that you may not have previously considered. Additionally, this is a suitable time to reassess your financial situation. You may be focused on the future and want to initiate some kind of financial planning. This could involve creating a budget, saving for retirement, or planning for a significant purchase.
Libra Rising
You seem to be able to articulate your thoughts and opinions more easily. However, your mind may be a bit restless, which can lead to some anxiety. It may be helpful to channel all this mental energy into a physical project. If you have tasks that have been pending, now is the perfect time to tackle them. You will have an abundance of energy during this period, so consider doing some laundry, painting the living room, or organizing the garage. The aim is to keep your body as active as your mind.
Scorpio Rising
During this transit, you may experience difficulty in communicating effectively. Although Scorpios are known for their ability to get their point across, they may struggle with determining when it's appropriate to speak up and when to remain silent. Understanding the importance of timing is crucial during this time. It's recommended that you take some time for self-reflection to determine what's important to you when interacting with others.
Sagittarius Rising
You might find yourself involved in more social situations at the present moment, with an increased involvement in group activities. It's important to consider your personal goals, hopes, and desires in life. Ensure that you surround yourself with like-minded people and groups who share similar aspirations.
Capricorn Rising
During this time, you may find yourself reflecting on the impact you have on society. It's a good opportunity to consider what kind of influence you want to have on the world and those around you. This could also include evaluating your career choices. If you're feeling unfulfilled in your job, it may be a good time to think about what you truly want to do. Creating a plan for the future is advisable. This could involve contemplating a job switch or pursuing further education. Conversely, if you're content with your current job, it's a great time to plan for advancement. Share with your superiors how you contribute to the company and explain how you benefit the team.
Aquarius Rising
During this transit, you might find yourself exploring your spirituality and seeking new perspectives. It can be beneficial to gain insights into other people's ways of life, including their cultures and religions (while being respectful of course!). This is a time when you are more receptive to learning about others. Consider reading books that pique your interest, engaging in conversations with people who hold different beliefs, or even traveling to gain firsthand experience.
Pisces Rising
During this transit you may find yourself engaging in deep conversations and pondering life's difficult questions. You may even feel inclined to discuss taboo topics. However, it's important to only confide in trusted individuals, as not everyone may be as open-minded as you are at the moment. If you're unable to have these conversations with others, take this opportunity to reflect inwardly and perhaps explore shadow work.
