Venus joins the Sun in Libra, soon to be joined by her cohort, Mars, who will move into Libra on October 22. They will canoodle together in Libra until November 6 when Venus will dive into the depths of emotional Scorpio, joining Jupiter already in full scuba gear. Venus leaves the ‘work-must-be-done and done perfectly’ sign of Virgo and rejoices in Libra, a sign she rules in the autumn. In the spring Venus rules Taurus. Or opposite if you live antipodally.

As the ruler of Libra, Venus turns her attention to the topic of relating and all things emanating harmonic beauty. A happy Libra Venus enjoys smart conversation and divine clothing. She likes to show up in her very best to swivel heads and engage minds. She turns every encounter she has every which way to enjoy all the facets of the exchange, endlessly searching for the opportunity to negotiate a peace,

but not before discussing all possible possibilities. She can debate over the right shoes to wear on her way to defend women’s rights at the bookstore where she is signing her best seller. She can’t decide if she should eat before or after the event but when tested by a heckler in the crowd she takes him down with one fell, brilliantly crafted, soft-spoken swoop. She is the mistress of all courts, the bringer of justice for all. And frankly, she is spitting angry horrified at the state of our situation. Between the hoodlum at the helm and the vagaries of Mother Nature who isn’t afraid to hear of whatever latest catastrophe awaits our attention?

and yet

Libran Venus guides you to find strength and fortitude, taking moments to find the gratitude spot,

the sweet spot that reminds you of your short and tentative visit in this incarnation and should you choose to make the most of it by tending your internal garden of peace and tranquility, there you will find the Libran Venus, waiting to help you bring your light of truth forth into the world, to speak the truth of justice and equality of joy for all.
