Happy fall equinox! The sun enters Libra on the 22nd ushering in the season of beauty and justice. Usually this time of year is all about getting balanced as we settle into the colder months, but since we’re in the midst of eclipse season, we’re not experiencing the usual. In fact you might be feeling pointedly unbalanced. Venus squares off with transformation planet Pluto and then enters the deep, emotional waters of Scorpio on the 22nd affirming that the changes that are taking place come from a deep desire for more aligned values.
Meanwhile Mercury is still in home sign Virgo, and this week we’re also being asked to reflect on the past and articulate future plans. Mercury in Virgo in general is excellent with words but some confusion might arise when the communication planet faces off with illusory Neptune on the 25th. Then on the 26th, Mercury enters diplomatic Libra where choosing our words becomes art itself. With another eclipse coming on October 2nd, Mercury’s entrance into Libra reminds us that sometimes tact is what gets us through tumultuous times.
