Without an asteroid in Libra, its other-oriented impulses have always mystified me. I longed for companionship, but it only extended to the extent of my creative endeavours. In these, I worked alone, created what I liked, then sent the output to my Virgo planets for endless and ruthless refinement. Others were free to enjoy the result as they wished or not.
Then, at the age of fifty, my advanced Sun entered Libra. Suddenly, I became interested in actively trying to woo the market with my offerings. My business has improved, but I have failed miserably at one basic tenant of marketing – and that is seeking feedback about what I’m offering. It goes against everything in my Leo nature. Watch me clapping my ears and humming loudly to keep voices of disapproval or disagreement at bay.
But if we’re going to make the most of ourselves, it’s very helpful to have an outside perspective. This week, Mercury transits from Virgo, a sign of never-satisfied perfectionism, and into Libra (October 10, 2022, from 4:51 a.m. PDT to Oct. 29), and that sounds like the perfect season to solicit feedback. The quality of our work or our intention to make it is no longer just our idea. Libra questions whether others will find it useful, beautiful, uplifting, meaningful? For this it is necessary that we not only ask others for their opinion, but also allow ourselves to be influenced by them.

wind on your back
a
In the period of 15 May Lunar EclipseWhen the Sun and Moon were square Saturn, something broke in many of us. We realized that something had to change in our relationships, in business, or in our life paths, even if it meant a lot of work. this week, as sun hung saturn (October 11, 2022, 6:06 a.m. PDT, 18-41′ Libra/Aquarius), that work begins to pay off. Perhaps someone in a position of influence offers a compliment, or you get an offer to play on a much bigger stage. There will still be a lot of hard work involved – it’s Saturn for you! – But it is much easier to bear, now that you feel the wind is on your back.

quick-tempered
I
n in my early twenties, I had a really bad boyfriend. He was a charming, sweet-spoken thief who came close to ruining my life out of my will. I behaved in ways that I still do not understand, except to say that I was under a kind of spell; Appropriately, the relationship began with the Mars of my birth under the Neptune aspect. It took me almost four years to break free from our entangled, toxic dance.
If you’ve ever succumbed to an attractive fast-paced person, even if your intuition was thumping like a fish frantically trying to detach itself from a hook, you should be aware of the potential dangers. I know something Mars in Gemini Neptune in Pisces (Oct 11, 2022, 10:47 PM PDT, 23-21 Gemini/Pisces). Whether it is buying a car, paying taxes, or negotiating a home, we need to learn to defend ourselves in a fast-paced world. This means sharpening our mind, learning to trust our intuition, and taking the brakes if we need time to think things through. And that means being on the alert for at least six months: Mars makes two more squares to Neptune, on November 19 and March 14, 2023.

transmission of light

More recently, Mercury has gone through a particularly depressing retrograde period. It was hard to stay positive because plans failed, meetings were forgotten, and technology worked. was not Mercury forms the last of Jupiter’s three oppositions (October 12, 2022, 00:24am PDT, 1/40′ Libra/Aries – the other two were on Sept. 2 and 18), this is the Sabian symbol at 2 Libra: The light of the sixth race changed to the seventh. This is a somewhat unmistakable symbol, but let’s focus on the immediately accessible vision of transmigrating (transforming, transforming) light, or spirit, to a higher level.
As Mercury joins Jupiter at the Sabian sign a comedian entertaining a group, We enter into a dialogue with hope and good enthusiasm. How can we be light and optimistic, and more importantly, to bring that light and joy into the world?
The downside of Mercury in Virgo was that we tended to run into growing discontent about our quality and potential. Virgo’s task is to find the one that does not correspond to the whole, to separate the wheat from the straw. But it’s hard to turn our brains off when they start complaining about what we’ve done wrong. Mercury in Libra is more forgiving, and also because it conjuncts with Jupiter. Find your light Be sure to take it out on the world. Rest assured that it is as bright as it needs to be.

the future in someone else’s eyes
s
ome relationships exist purely for pleasure. You can enjoy the occasional lunch with a casual acquaintance, wish them a happy birthday, compliment their latest selfie on Instagram. In some special cases, you enjoy a sensual getaway together without wanting anything more serious. Relationships built on happiness are Venus in its simplest form.
But there are times in life when you look into the eyes of others and see the future staring at you. You realize that you can create something with this person. It can be a band, a business or a family. But whatever it is, they pull you towards a future you could never have imagined.
when Venus in Libra trie Saturn in Aquarius (October 13, 2022, 11:21 p.m. PDT, 18-39′ Libra/Aquarius), and one becomes eternal. There is a reason why Saturn, the planet of commitment, is exalted in Libra, a sign of partnership. Commitment doesn’t deter happiness, but it’s no longer the only thing that matters in a Venus-Saturn relationship.
