Astrology, Tarot and More

This New Moon, in relationship-oriented Libra, is great for setting intentions to attract a happy romantic relationship, or for a deeper connection in the current relationship.  

It's also a great New Moon to ask for a balance of assertiveness and collaboration in your life, especially if you feel that your needs are not being met.  And if you need success in negotiations, this is your New Moon as well. 

 

To be honest with you, I get a little apprehensive when Pluto is about to visit my natal chart. 

Yes, I know I will come out stronger than ever after its energy departs. But, I also know that a challenging Pluto transit will bring some major transformation, closing a door so completely that it’s cemented shut. Whatever was behind that door is either gone, or transformed beyond recognition.  It will also connect you with the deepest reserves of your personal power, that you didn't even know you had.

Libra Season is about investing into relationships, getting rid of crippling indecision, and reviewing what “fair” means to you. Libra or not, how can you best apply this season's energies in your professional field or business? Read some suggestions here.

My Venus is in Libra, so a part of me is always connected to this charming, diplomatic, and - let's face it - at times indecisive sign of the Zodiac.

Curated by an astrologer, this gift guide will help you find that special gift for your Libra friend or a loved one. Or, if you're a Libra yourself, you might see something that speaks to you here.

Enjoy!

The Sun enters Libra on September 22, 2025 at 11:19 a.m. PDT.  It’s our annual reminder to focus on relationships, the sense of fairness, learning to become more assertive or decisive if we need to, and bringing more beauty into your life – whatever “beauty” means to you!

 

The Sun is conjunct Chiron and Venus is coming out of retrograde on the day of this Full Moon.  It's a perfect blend of energy to ask the Universe for old romantic hurts, disappointments and self-limiting beliefs to be lifted from you. 

Eclipses are wild cards in astrology.  They tend to electrify the areas they touch, to shake them up and revitalize them.

That plays out on the collective level as well as on a personal level, if an eclipse connects with your natal chart.

So what can we expect from this year's eclipses? 

While Mercury stays retrograde until Oct. 18, October is also the month that Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto turn direct. The more planets are direct, the more “go forward” energy is available to us, and the easier it is to get your undertakings off the ground successfully.  Relationships are strongly highlighted through the first 3 weeks of October. Don't miss a very special New Moon on Oct. 6 - fantastic for calling a soulmate relationship into your life.

Mercury Retrograde can bring annoying technology glitches, delayed or cancelled travel plans and appointments, and  frustrating miscommunication.  And….it also has a huge silver lining. It’s the best time of the year for all things “re”: re-do, re-plan, re-write (or edit), re-connect, repair, reflect.  

This Mercury Retrograde is in Libra, making it an ideal time to reconnect with your partner (pre-schedule some fun date nights if you can!); to re-balance your own needs and the needs of those around you; and to reflect on your view of fairness.

September offers us quite a few gifts. A Grand Trine in Earth, active until Sept. 16, brings the energy of vitality, practical sense and productivity. The Air energy is also strong: collaborate and build your networks, especially online. But, with Mercury turning retrograde on Sept. 26, we're heading into the thick of this year's retrograde season...

Jupiter (opportunities, expansion) continues through this year’s retrograde cycle, moving back into Aquarius on July 28. When a planet retrogrades into the sign, it's like it says, "I have some unfinished business!" Jupiter's return to Aquarius will be asking us to revisit technological expansion, and human interconnectedness.

On a personal level, it can be impactful for Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, Gemini and Libra.
