~*~LIBRA~*~
Happy Birthday, Libra! I hope Libra Season has helped you feel in greater touch with your personality structures and purpose. The world learns so much from you. On Tuesday, Messenger planet Mercury leaves Libra for Scorpio and will give you the consciousness and communication experiences to apply what you’ve learned since September 22nd. Take a moment to understand what wisdom you’ve earned so you can lean on it readily when the time comes. Your most auspicious New Moon in Libra embraces the autumn sky on Thursday. Write down your highest, most joyful service-oriented intentions for the year ahead because the Universe is listening to your melody first Libra. Don’t play it small. Imagine your best life so it can become yours.
~*~SCORPIO~*~
Repeat after me, Scorpio: “Forgiveness offers everything I want.” Trust me when I tell you that if you let go of outdated bitterness and resentment, you will be lifted to your maximum possibility so soon. On Tuesday, Mercury — ruler of consciousness and communication — will move into Scorpio and bless them with the power of the persuasive tongue for three-and-a-half weeks. You’ll feel unusually vocal, more upfront, and more willing to talk ... perhaps with the person you need to forgive? Or maybe the one you need apologize to? On Thursday, a New Moon in Libra will open up infinite divine wisdom for you to receive alternative muses and possibilities to solve the problems that keep you up at night. You’re closely connected to the esoteric and metaphysical systems so do not dismiss whatever ideas and visions comes to you.
~*~SAGITTARIUS~*~
Sweet surrender, my sweet Sagittarians. The Universe is giving you some well-deserved off time for three-and-a-half weeks to review, reconsider, and surrender the low-level circumstances of the last year. Honor where you got it right and surrender where you missed the mark personally and interpersonally. Use this healing time well to get comfortable with discomfort, to sit with the edge. It’s not easy, I know. But it’s necessary to learn how in order to engage with your life from a place of wholeheartedness. On Thursday, a New Moon in Libra will give you some lunar lightheartedness with ideas on friendship, community, activism, and social support. If you’re looking to refresh your friendship network, reach out to people you miss, who uplift you, and who honor your generosity.
~*~CAPRICORN~*~
Career success is yours, Capricorn! But first, you need to reach out to your network and compare professional strategies with people who have earned the right to hear it. Understand social, communicative, and collaborative efforts are the context for you to achieve the work accolades you crave. Your Saturn-ruled psyche is hardwired to work diligently and longs to achieve professional results that make a difference in the lives of others. It’s happening, I assure you. On Thursday, a New Moon in Libra gives your career a cosmic reset button. Reflect on the last year and how you personally showed up at work. Celebrate where you succeeded and offer up your mistakes to the Universe to be corrected so you can begin again and get it right in the six months ahead.
~*~AQUARIUS~*~
As a communally focused air sign, Aquarius, your mind doesn’t always leap to crave worldly things like public status or singular recognition, but on Tuesday, the Universe wants you wrestling with these ideas. Do you want to step up in a leadership position at work or in school? Straight talk leads to straight understanding — so be proactive, Aquarius! — in letting the power structures that be know you’re interested in rising to the occasion. Don’t be afraid of your competency. Even the most “successful” among us are wondering how they got there. A New Moon in Libra on Thursday wants you to get inspired and brainstorm big picture intentions having to do with your role in academics, publishing, and travel. You’re craving something new, cross-cultural, and expansive so start committing to what that looks like so you can make happen in the next six months.
~*~PISCES~*~
As the last sign our zodiac, Pisces, you get the bigger-than-big picture pretty quickly and regularly. You’re not one to stay chained to analyzing the details, complexities, and little nuances. On Tuesday, Mercury — ruler of consciousness and communication — will give your brilliant mind a bigger push to seek big opportunities in higher education, academics, and philosophy.

~*~TAURUS~*~
Mercury plunges to the exquisitely intimate depths of Scorpio — your interpersonal relationship ruler — so you’ll be pushed to compromise in partnership and romance more than you’re used to and strange indecisiveness is possible for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Use the power of your words responsibly. Consider them a harmonizing impulse to effectuate diplomatic outcomes for both you and all parties involved. Weigh all options before committing and don’t apologize for taking your time before crossing the intellectual finish line. Gluttony and self-indulgence is so summer 2017, Taurus.
