For the week of Sept 28-Oct 4th

Yawn…s t r e t c h. Cosmically speaking, this week is kind of boring—well, compared to the earlier part of September, that is! After a month that brought us two eclipses, Venus-Mars dalliances, Mercury retrograde AND a sign change for taskmaster Saturn on the same day, we doubt anyone is mad about September’s more leisurely wrap-up. Seize the opportunity to catch your breath and get your feet planted on terra firma. If possible, put massive initiatives on hold until Mercury’s course correction next Friday, October 9. Instead, use this week to tidy up the messy areas of your life. This is the final full week of Mercury retrograde; an optimal time for all “re” based activities like reviewing, repairing, restoring and reconnecting. With Monday’s meetup of the moon and revolutionary Uranus in Aries, we’ll have plenty of firepower for these make-better missions.

Have relationships been off kilter for you this month? Mercury’s retrograde—which wages from September 17 until October 9—is taking place in romantic, diplomatic Libra. Yes, this may have thrown a curveball into partnerships or stalled business and legal negotiations. But Libra’s peacemaking qualities made this a gentler retrograde than most. On Wednesday, September 30 the Sun and Mercury retro will meet at the same degree of Libra, illuminating areas that are still out of balance. Ego clash alert! The self-serving Sun will not make it easy for us to back down from our righteous indignation. For the people-pleasers out there, this may be the day where that bottled up truth comes rushing out. (Uh, try to use a few filters, please, to avoid the #NiceGuyGonePsycho label.) Alas, while laying cards on the table can be a necessary first step to resolution, it’s not the last one. Restoring equilibrium to our lives requires us to cooperate, compromise and collaborate—all favorite catchwords of partnership-oriented Libra. The rubber meets the road: How do you deal with disagreements? Can you remain committed to finding a creative solution and lovingly listen to each other’s perspective? Mercury retrograde in Libra lays down the gauntlet and challenges us to find the proper balance between “me” and “we.”
