Monthly Horoscope: Libra (September 23-October 22)

JUNE 2010 Bookmark and Share twitter about this

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Last month, your moods and energy swung low, and your butterfly wings folded shut. In June, your Libran scales rebalance with a dose of sunny optimism. The Sun is in Gemini, your ninth house of travel, study and new horizons until June 21st. You’re ready to mix with the public again, meeting new people and exploring cutting-edge ideas. How about a little love to go along with that?

With expansive Jupiter entering Aries, your relationship sector, you’re ready for a new level of commitment, either with your current mate or someone new.

Grab those vacation days now, because after the 21st, the Sun moves into Cancer, your tenth house of career and success. You won’t want to miss a power-packed month, especially the upcoming July 11th Cancer solar eclipse. Spoiler alert: this date could redefine your career path in a major way, so prepare the best you can. Be at the ready with business cards, marketing materials, that 30-second elevator speech.

Schedule breaks from the activity to reboot your system. Saturn and Mars are in Virgo until late July, your twelfth house of closure and rest. This whip-cracking duo will check any attempts to slip into denial and avoidance. Just because life is humming along on the surface, doesn’t mean you can slack on your inner work, Libra. The June 26th lunar eclipse in your home, family and self-care sector puts your personal life front and center. A change of address or a pregnancy could be in the cards. Remember your sign’s buzzword: balance!

LOVE & ROMANCE:
The “wow factor” you’ve been craving? Here it comes. On June 6th, lucky Jupiter begins a three-month trip through Aries, your committed relationship sector. Jupiter brings excitement, boundless energy and inspiration from afar. As the ruler of travel, Jupiter could bring long-distance romance. Don’t snub a hot prospect because your zip codes don’t match. Single Libras could fall for someone who’s different from your usual “type,” even from another culture or country. With Uranus, planet of surprises, also in Aries until mid-August, love arrives when you least expect it!

For coupled Libras, it’s time for your relationship to evolve. If you genuinely feel you’ve gone as far as you can together, it may be time to move on. Chances are, your partnership has gotten too settled and routine—and it’s time to shake things up. This summer, you may experience a surprising role reversal. If your sweetie was the main breadwinner, you could start bringing home the bigger paycheck. You could switch from playing the pampered princess to being the caretaker.

The June 26th eclipse in your domestic sector suggests new living arrangements, whether that means moving in (or out), or reconfiguring your home to make space for changing lifestyles. Family and children could become a front-burner topic, and a possible source of disagreement with your partner. Talk it through and don’t act rashly—you’ll find a middle ground, even if the initial honesty phase is rough.

MONEY & CAREER:
The first half of June takes you out of the air-conditioned office, into the wider world. The Gemini Sun activates your worldly ninth house through June 21st, a great time to travel or pitch an entrepreneurial idea. Your innovative wheels are really turning at the June 12th Gemini new moon, and you could have an opportunity to sell yourself to an eager audience. Market your ideas through a blog, website or a mass email.

With social Venus (your ruler) in your career sector until June 15th, don’t miss an industry party or networking cocktail hour. Arm yourself with business cards and your gift of gab. When the Sun moves into Cancer on June 21st, you’re ready to focus on serious business. You’ve got a head full of creative ideas—it’s now time to sift, sort and streamline. Pick your top three maximum, and hash out a long-term plan. The bigwigs are watching, so present your professional best. Push yourself to be on time, well-dressed (that’s the easy part for you) and prepared every day.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Although this month is a whirlwind, you still need downtime in the cocoon. Saturn and Mars are both in Virgo, your healing twelfth house. You’re in a state of “cognitive dissonance”—the disorienting adjustment phase as you transition from an old emotional space into a new one. Your subconscious is shedding past memories, hurts and patterns, so honor your energy when it wanes. Make time to meditate or find a quiet space when this happens. Listen to soothing music, or drift off to a self-hypnosis DVD.

On June 26th, a Capricorn lunar eclipse brings family or domestic issues to a head. This energy has been building since mid-January, and you can no longer sweep it aside. Have you outgrown your living space? It’s time to redecorate, or even move. Your relationship with your parents or children is also due for an evolution. It’s time for a shift, especially if you’ve been making choices to please them, instead of living true to yourself. Healthy separation, whether through physical distance or emotional boundaries, gives you space to grow in your other relationships. Next up: your Libra Weekly Horoscope >
