Libra monthly horoscope

Sep 23 to Oct 22

Your birthday month came with homework

The Sun was in your sign until October 23 and the New Moon was in it on October 10, so this should have felt like your month. It did, but with homework. Saturn is opposite your sign, in Aries, and the Sun faced it directly on October 4, so someone close to you had a serious point to make early on. Venus, your ruling planet, turned retrograde on October 3 in Scorpio, in your money corner, and came back into Libra on October 25. In plain words, you spent the month changing your mind about what you like, and you have now brought that question home to yourself. That is a good place for it. Old clothes look better. Old promises to yourself look worth checking. The Moon in Cancer as October closes is in your career corner, and a colleague may see you more clearly than you think. Let them. Then have a late birthday lunch with whoever remembered, and order the thing you always order, because this month has earned it.

Venus stops going backward on November 14

It has been a long autumn of going back over things. On November 14 Venus, your ruling planet, goes direct in your own sign, and you can stop reading the old messages. Choose something and move on. You will feel it as a small weight coming off, more than as a big event. The New Moon in Scorpio on November 9 comes first, in your money corner, and it suits a calm look at what you own and what you want. Mars and Jupiter meet in Leo on November 16, in the part of your chart about friends, so your group gets bigger or noisier. Somebody may want you to run something. You will say you are too busy, and then you will run it beautifully. On November 28 Venus makes an exact friendly angle to Jupiter, and that same group gives something back. Take it as thanks. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22, in your everyday talk corner, and your diary fills up.
