It’s Libra season. Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. Venus is the planet that rules women, self-value, relationships, diplomacy, money, and healing. And right now, Venus is retrograde until November 13. The energy of the planet Venus will dominate all of our emotions & actions because Venus retrograde is causing us to do a very Venusian thing– re-evaluate everything. It is also the planet that rules the upcoming New Moon on Oct. 10th. This time is not just about you; it’s about ALL of us– the collective.
All of this Venus and Libra energy will insist that you RE everything– re-relate to, re-visit, re-examine, and even recognize who and what are truly of value to you. Money and property issues will play an important role and so will how you treat yourself. Hint– please treat yourself well!
“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.” Edward Everett Hale
“I love you, my sister and brother, whoever you are– whether you worship in your church, kneel in your temple, or pray in your mosque. You and I are all children of one faith, for the diverse paths of religion are fingers of the loving hand of one Supreme Being, a hand extended to all, offering completeness of spirit to all, eager to receive all.” Khalil Gibran
“Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers. Don’t just talk– take action!” Austin O’Malley
THE EMPEROR (March 21 – April 20) There is a Higher Power at work in your life. You are being strongly urged to listen to your feelings and set aside ‘reason’ as you discover your own path– the one that’ll lead you through this process of self-discovery to a place of profound self-love and self-value.
THE EMPRESS (April 21 – May 20) In your quest to care for and nurture others, you’ve forgotten to care for and nurture the do-er– yourself. The Universe is adamant– it’s your turn now. Doing for others without their reciprocating will no longer work. Insist in gentle but firm ways that life in all its forms acknowledges you and returns the favor. Remember to be kind, gentle and generous with yourself.
THE LOVERS (May 21 – June 20) You are on the hunt for a priceless inner treasure. In order to make the most of your search, you’ll have to risk losing the approval of others and take ‘the road less traveled.’ Honestly, courageously examine yourself and your contribution to life. Just as importantly– examine life’s contribution to you. Both contributions must balance each other if you are to find the treasure that lies within you. Ask bold questions. Have high expectations. Accept only the best– you deserve it.
THE CHARIOT (June 21 – July 20) Emotional courage is the courage it takes to take your stand and live your life out loud, despite what anyone else has to say about it. Though playing it safe can be tempting for you, now is not the time for any kind of passivity. The balance that you seek will make itself known to you in very unexpected but rewarding ways.
THE SUN (July 21 – August 22) You can’t wait any longer for ‘someday’; it’s here now. Walk in faith as you ask for, listen to, and accept Divine Guidance. Whatever challenges you encounter are only illusions, they appear only to test your faith and strengthen you. As you proceed in fulfilling your destiny, all sorts of things will transpire to help you that would never otherwise have happened.
THE HERMIT (August 23 – September 22) There really is balance in the Universe and when you least expect it, from out of nowhere– something great and confirming will happen. This is Grace in action and you’ve earned it. Stay grounded, be gracious and be grateful as you receive and accept your bounty.
JUSTICE (September 23 – October 22) Do things seem a bit intense and chaotic lately? If you answered “yes,” congratulations! That is how things should be for you right now. Your task is to ‘sit’ with these feelings and simply observe what comes up for you. Whatever questions you have or answers you think you need will come to you if you are willing to ‘live in the question.’ I encourage you to have faith and to listen; you’ll finally understand the true meaning of the old adage, “Be still and know.”
THE MAGICIAN (October 23 – November 21) Life is often an exciting, fun adventure. It also has many difficulties to contend with. You are currently connecting with your bountiful treasury of inner guidance and inner grace. As you step out of your limited perception of the past, you’ll find that you’ve got all the powerful help you need to make a positive ‘giant leap’ forward.
THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE (November 22 – December 21) You’re ready to take some giant steps forward and move to your own beat now. This is the time to show the world and yourself that you’ve got a firm grasp of your power by courageously stepping up and going for it. As you do so, you’ll discover that your natural charisma is once again operating at a high level and others will be showing up to help you achieve your goals.
THE WORLD (December 22 – January 19) The attention you pay to your emotional state is your ‘tour guide’ at this time. Some of what you’ll be guided to see and deal with– your old unfinished emotional business, people from your past, outmoded belief systems– will have you experiencing the peaks and valleys of elation and moodiness. Regardless of how it looks or seems, this is an important soul growth opportunity. Do give yourself the permission and space to consciously evolve and learn from it. By doing so, you’ll gain a new awareness of yourself and your place in your world.
THE STAR (January 20 – February 19) That sound you hear is applause because you’re center stage right now and all eyes are upon you. The success of your performance depends on how committed you are to walking your talk. Personal authenticity is your goal, so please participate in and respond to people, circumstances and events with clarity, integrity and positive energy. You’ll get a standing ovation if you do.
THE MOON (February 20 – March 20) This is a very emotional and potentially enlightening time for you. It’s important that you stay grounded and pay close attention to your own inner voice. Though you may have to take control in order to assure that events in your environment go smoothly, please make sure that you let others help you. Remember, you need to feel safe, too. Treat yourself well and others will follow suit.
