September 23 ~ October 7

Some relationships come back around because there is more to the story, Libra. This week has the feeling of unfinished business and second chances, but what returns is not necessarily meant to be repeated. Sometimes the do-over is there so you can choose differently this time.

Saturday’s Full Moon in Aries conjunct Neptune on Sept. 26. illuminates your relationship axis, bringing something between you and another to a turning point. Feelings that have been difficult to name may become impossible to ignore. Neptune can blur the line between what you hoped a relationship could be and what it actually is, while supportive links to Uranus and Pluto give you a chance to see the connection through a different lens. What happens now may have roots that reach further back than you realize.

Then Tuesday, Sept. 29, carries the unmistakable feeling of a crossroads. Mercury reaches the final, anaretic degree of your sign and trines the North Node at 29 degrees Aquarius. The transiting Nodes have been holding at this final degree for two solid months, so when Mercury makes this exact connection, something that has been waiting for its moment may finally arrive. A message or realization could have far greater significance than it first appears. There are times when life seems to whisper, “This way.” This may be one of them.

Mercury enters Scorpio on Wednesday, Sept. 30, joining your ruler Venus, and the temperature rises quickly from there. As Mercury moves into a T-square with Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius, what has been simmering may be difficult to contain. Words can carry tremendous weight now, particularly when old feelings are involved. You may find yourself back in familiar emotional territory, but you are not the same person you were the last time you stood here.

And then your ruler Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, Oct. 3. Matters of the heart begin circling back for another look, and someone or something from the past may reappear. But a return does not necessarily mean a reunion. It may simply mean there is something more to understand before you can truly know what comes next.

The past may circle back, Libra, but you are in the driver’s seat now. This time, you get to choose from who you have become. Where you go from here is up to you.
