We cooperate with Life: Life gives us options; our decisions give it form.
The Sun will be in Libra from September 22 through October 22. The following forecast for the month of Libra is general and will apply to everyone.
Each aspect listed below will be in effect (“in orb”) between its Entering and Leaving dates but strongest on its Exact date. The aspects in play at any time may or may not harmonize well with one another.
TRANSITING SUN ENTERING LIBRA
Sep 22 2024
The annual social and cultural tide is here! It’s a time that favors beauty and harmony on all levels. As we enjoy the charms of colorful seasonal changes in the natural world, we may discover greater clarity, harmony, and peace in our relationships.
TRANSITING MARS TRINE TRANSITING SATURN
Entering Sep 27 2024, Exact Sep 30 2024, Leaving Oct 2 2024
Currently, Saturn requires us to deal soberly and realistically with our ways of retreating from the world and the content of our imaginations — especially our visions of compassion. While some dreams evaporate, we find that others are not so impossible after all. Those we can and must work to manifest. During this transit, we get a strong boost of power for that purpose from a sentimental, emotional Mars, for the sake of children and others who cannot help themselves.
NEW MOON IN LIBRA (ECLIPSE OF TRANSITING SUN)
Oct 2 2024
TRANSITING JUPITER STATIONARY
Oct 9 2024
Jupiter’s turning retrograde and won’t go direct again until early next February. It will still be in Gemini the whole time. The implication seems to be that although we may have seen or heard a lot of news and information that’s been flying around lately, we may not have understood what it all means as well as we need to.
Now we’ll be spending some months revisiting stories and information that’s been out for a while, as the universe gives us an opportunity to look at things in a different light and perhaps draw some new conclusions. February will probably find us more insightful and more satisfied in our world view, and better prepared to help make our world a better place.
TRANSITING SUN SQUARE TRANSITING MARS
Entering Oct 11 2024, Exact Oct 14 2024, Leaving Oct 17 2024
This impatient square tends to trigger tempers and to urge competition and fights for survival. While powerful Mars is defensive of home and family, the Sun is honorable but alert to distinguish friends from foes. Care should be taken now to avoid unnecessary conflict, and to prevent accidents, injuries or fevers that might result from extra stress.
TRANSITING PLUTO STATIONARY
Oct 11 2024
Pluto is stationing direct, going back on the job of bringing hidden things to light within Capricorn’s established structures. We shall see what deeper secrets are revealed there before Pluto exits the sign in November.
TRANSITING SUN TRINE TRANSITING JUPITER
Entering Oct 12 2024, Exact Oct 13 2024, Leaving Oct 15 2024
The Sun is particularly magnanimous now, mindful of wise judgment and disposed to see the best in others wherever possible, and we tend to be the same. This trine gives a steady confidence that doesn’t cancel, but should help to mitigate, the potential for danger in the above square.
Oct 17 2024
TRANSITING SUN SQUARE TRANSITING PLUTO
Entering Oct 20 2024, Exact Oct 22 2024, Leaving Oct 23 2024
Having turned direct in Capricorn, Pluto is again on the move to reveal hidden truth and take control. The Sun, not a ‘child’ to be controlled, is promoting equality and fairness in Libra, hence the potential for conflict.
This square could describe a clash between a ruthless bully and an easy victim, or between a rightful authority and a challenger weaponizing superficial sweet talk. In any case, it’s a power issue, and the truth of it probably comes to light. We could find ourselves in one of the roles.
TRANSITING MARS SEXTILE TRANSITING URANUS
Entering Oct 21 2024, Exact Oct 24 2024, Leaving Oct 28 2024
Creative thinking can easily assist the survival instinct now. Where we would normally expect to use our own muscles to get what we need or want, an innovative idea or invention may be available to help make our actions easier or speedier. Alternatively, our efforts may be reinforced through the availability of other people with whom to cooperate.
