Libra

The lunar events falling across the week ahead, and what each means for you.

Sat 12 Sep

New Moon in Virgo

Aspect to Libra Semi-sextile

Neighbouring signs share a border and little else. They tend to find each other slightly baffling in a way that is more irritating than dramatic.

Fri 18 Sep

First Quarter in Sagittarius

Aspect to Libra Sextile

Compatible elements — fire with air, earth with water. Easy, cooperative and rarely explosive.

Why this is a list rather than a story

The dates above are astronomy — they are the same for everyone and were fixed long before anyone asked. What is added is the geometry between each lunar position and your sign. Anything beyond that would be invention, and inventing it is what makes most long-range horoscopes worthless.

Computed for the week ahead

The moon changes sign 3 times in this period

Angles and focus below are computed against Libra, so this table differs for every sign. How it is worked out →

1 harmonious angles to Libra — trines and sextiles, where the moon's sign and yours share an element or a temperament.
0 tense ones — squares, oppositions and quincunxes, where the two signs have no easy way to translate between them.
Easy is how the week ahead tilts for Libra specifically. The dates below are the same for everyone; the angles are not.

Sun 13 Sep · moon enters Libra · Conjunction

Balance, fairness and acute awareness of other people. The moon sits in your own sign, so its mood and yours are the same thing for these days — and for Libra that meets sees every side of a dispute and can make opposing parties feel heard.

Counting from Libra, that sign occupies the 1st house — how you come across and what you initiate.

Tue 15 Sep · moon enters Scorpio · Semi-sextile

Intensity, privacy and refusal to accept surfaces. The moon sits a sign away from yours, close enough to colour the days without dominating them — and for Libra that meets avoids decisions to avoid disappointing anyone, which disappoints everyone eventually.

Counting from Libra, that sign occupies the 2nd house — income, spending and what you value.

Thu 17 Sep · moon enters Sagittarius · Sextile

Expansion, honesty and appetite for the unfamiliar. The moon is sextile your sign: workable, but only if you do something with it — and for Libra that meets avoids decisions to avoid disappointing anyone, which disappoints everyone eventually.

Counting from Libra, that sign occupies the 3rd house — conversations, messages and short trips.
