LIBRA
Time for self-care Good Medicine
Restore, revive, renew
You can’t give if you’re running on empty
Pace yourself, Libra. Cosmic activity in your house of work and wellbeing asks you watch for burn-out and pay close attention to that routine and those habits. Mars’ arrival in your 6th (2nd), has a touch of the can-do invincibility about it. But the total lunar eclipse in your 12th (3rd), says otherwise, Libra. This is time to stop, to examine your schedule, habits, work/life balance and what you engage in each and everyday on remote control.
Are you running as fast as you can but going nowhere? Reaching for coping mechanisms or self-soothing habits just to get through each day? Doing the same things without really thinking about whether they are good for you – or not? The eclipse is not a road block. It’s an emotional wake-up call for you. When you get to see the hidden cost of all this.
Often the only way this comes to light it when we stop. Or are made to simply by our bodies hitting a wall and having no more to give us. Please don’t let it get to that stage. The eclipse is in Virgo – a Mercury ruled sign. Mercury is retrograde in Pisces and your 6th. It’s ruling sector in your chart. Not only does this increase your chances of Mercury driven madness, but it can also add up to making mistakes and even accidents if you give in to Mars’ impulse to simply get things done.
Things must change now and you must be the catalyst for this. With a five factor stellium in your 6th – Sun, Mercury, ruler Venus until the 6th, Mars and the North Node, you can pivot when it comes to the following: Your day job (paid or unpaid), studies, diet, self-care, habitat, habits, routine, workouts, side hustle, co-workers, staff or the way you simply run your life. Instead of running for it. How do you make these changes? Small steps, Libra.
By all means have a plan in place if you intend to make big ones such as seeking new employment or starting your own hustle. But research and ready yourself until the Mercury retrograde is over. Small steps tell the universe you are open to bigger changes. They also have the effect of shifting your mindset so you embrace bigger ones. We now know it takes on average 66 days to establish fresh habits. Not 28 as previously thought. But you first need to start at Day One.
Simple hacks include mindfully breaking from what you are doing every 40 mins. Doing that run or walk in reverse. Going to a different coffee shop or supermarket. Ordering or buying something different. Getting your news from several different sources (especially if yours comes entirely from social media), and then looking at how this impacts your own view of current affairs. Setting the timer on your phone for 10 minute windows to go stretch or else direct this into a goal activity. Opting to go for a walk or engage in a hobby instead of reaching for that nice glass of wine to unwind. This is how fresh habits form.
Look to the conjunctions between Mercury and the North Node (18th and 23rd), Mars and the North Node (13th) and the new Moon in Pisces (19th), to set new and highly workable habits. To declutter and also design that day around making the most use of your precious life, Libra. Pro tip under the Mercury retro: any chaos that occurs is likely to be linked to something that needs to change. Bring your focus to bear on this.
Mercury stations direct the same day as the Sun follows ruler Venus into Aries and your 7th house (20th). You now have an incredible five factor stellium in your partnership zone – Sun, Venus, Saturn, Neptune and Chiron. This delivers a partnership peak like no other you have experienced before. A new era of togetherness. Or a fresh definition of what this can mean.
How was last month’s Saturn/Neptune encounter at zero Aries for you, Libra? This took place on Feb 20. Something that has never occurred in our lifetimes. Nor will again. The end of one era of relating for you. The beginning of a Put a Ring on It new one. Infused by Neptune’s desire for a higher, more spiritual, union. But grounded by Saturn’s desire for foundation and commitment.
For some, this may have coincided with a major development in your personal relationships. At the very least, you were being asked to define a new manifesto for how you wish to relate and what partnerships look like going forward. Whether the conjunction brought changes or not, partnered or solo, you are now being called to clearly state your intentions.
When a major astrological event occurs, the degree it happened remains ‘charged’ by the planetary energy. In this case 0o Aries. It is then triggered when other planets reach it. Venus on the 6th and the Sun on the 20th. With other planets – Mercury and Mars, to follow. So, if the February event turned into a non-one, look to these dates for when shifts occur. Major decisions around an existing union or the emergence of a new one. Not just around long term love or your spouse, but any kind of dynamic duo or double dynamic. Working, collaborative or a long term friendship.
Other key dates include Venus’ first encounter to Neptune and Saturn in here across the 7th – 8th. And the Sun 22nd to 25th. If you have not yet crafted that personal partnership plan or contract with yourself, these are the dates to do so. With Mercury now direct, these are also dates to go seek someone new be it that love or working liaison.
Ensure when writing down your Partnership Declaration, you include in it the values that you need any kind of partner to share with you. The non-negotiables around what really matters. Trust, honesty, kindness, respect and outlook. We often forget how crucial these are when it comes to longevity of any union. Ruler Venus moves into its other ruling sign – Taurus and your 8th at the end of the month. It brings your focus onto what really matters in the long term. Look back at your past, Libra. Yes, someone may be hot. They may make you laugh. They can be fun to be around. But what determines togetherness goes beyond this. Staying power? That’s what you’re seeking and deserve now. Put a ring on that.
In a nutshell: A powerful eclipse in your 12th reveals something you may have been unaware of that you have been doing each day – which does you no good at all. Recharging or creating a better work/life balance is an act of love which leaves you with so much more love to give, Libra.
