Libra in October 2008


libra, the scales

september 22 -- october 22




libra in october


general

You’re doing your best to be diplomatic, but other people are still giving you problems. Something’s just not right, and even your smoothest talk is falling on deaf ears, at best.

The word “diplomat” implies someone who’s aware of both sides of an issue, and is working toward compromise. Somewhere along the line, you’ve made some pretty big assumptions about the other side’s position, and guess what? At least some of them are completely misguided assumptions. There’s no way to work toward the middle if you don’t know the starting points; this month will be an exercise in finding out just how off-base some of your assumptions really were.

Your thought processes are unconsciously colored by subjective perceptions, for one thing. Personal considerations are weighing on your usually-objective judgment; you need to identify these, before someone else does it for you. The Full Moon of the 14th could result in a major blowout with another person, especially a partner or spouse, if you don’t get to the bottom of all this right now.

At some point, you decided that the two of you were working, thinking, and acting as a team; did you overlook any “trivial” objections at the time? If so, they’re not so trivial anymore. It’s time to go back to the drawing board, and find out where the two of you diverged. It’ll be worth the effort.

sex life

Your desire for sexual ownership is still very strong. (“What?”) Well, everyone is polarized right now, standing behind excessively zealous party lines; there’s a lot of cooperative talk, yeah, but most of it’s just talk and nothing else. For you, Libra, some of this hits very close to home, playing out in your closest, most intimate relationships.

All of this impending change has everyone feeling more insecure than usual, and that includes you; the temptation is to try to grasp at what you have, to control it through emotional appeals and not-quite-objective rhetoric, so that some of the uncertainty is tempered.

Bad, bad idea. The tighter you squeeze, the quicker it’ll slip through your fingers.

This is not a good month for pressure or decisions of any kind. Flexibility and simple acceptance are your friends, until you (and everyone else) is on firmer footing. There are some good moments in store for you this month, despite its challenges; during the last week, a real sexual healing could occur. Something to think about....

public life

Quite a lot of your General and Sex Life forecasts apply here, too. Polarization and rapid power shifts are the prevailing moods of the day; all you need to do is take a look at the nightly news to see that it’s not just your life that’s going topsy-turvy; at least you're in good company, huh?

You’ll be facing this kind of radical change in your own life for many years to come. Uranus will ease out of Pisces into your opposing sign, Aries, within a couple of years; learning to deal with the unexpected, the different, and the downright-rebellious is your next big assignment. The current Saturn/Uranus opposition is your preliminary taste of what’s to come; this kind of thing isn’t going away, so you may as well start learning the ins and outs of it right now.

Good luck, Libra. Remember: flexibility and simple acceptance. This is Uranus we’re talking about.
