Rethinking what you want from your social life and an existing or potential relationship with a partner can put your mind at ease. Establishing alliances should also go well due to an even level of benefit to all those involved. You may want to pay a return visit to local places you like to go to, or to make time for what you want to do. This transit offers the chance to take a break and to do something that isn’t associated with work and responsibility. Seek what is light-hearted and fun.

The Sun at 22 degrees 21 minutes Libra is trine retrograde Jupiter at 22 degrees 21 minutes Aquarius at 11.47 am GMT 12.47 pm BST 15th October 2021.

Causes for enthusiasm and optimism arise but the reaction you have to them won’t go to extremes or let excitement get out of control. If you experience what is perceived by others to be a stroke of good luck, it’s more likely to be as a result of using sound judgement and having enough faith in yourself not to follow the herd. Not compromising on your integrity should serve you well. Stretching your boundaries and deviating from the route you would normally take can build confidence in your abilities in what you are capable of.

Retrograde Mercury conjunction Mars in Libra 9th October 2021

Retrograde Mercury is conjunction Mars at 16 degrees 16 minutes Libra at 10.49 pm GMT 11.49 pm BST.

Thinking twice before you act is the best way to handle this transit. The mind is easily stimulated and attention is drawn to issues that should have been dealt with in the recent past, but have to be dealt with now. There is a reluctance to take no for an answer; if you are pushing for an agreement instead of a rejection, then assertive persuasion will have to be used. Don’t be tempted to be pushy to get your own way; know when to back off and when to try again. What is seen or heard can prompt some individuals to take action with the intention of gaining your support. If you’re reluctant to get involved, a polite rather than a blunt refusal is advised.

Going back over previous ideas and plans could become important and potentially necessary to weigh up your options, to help you to come up with the best decisions. Mental clarity is increased to enable you to get your opinions across when contributing to discussions without causing any conflict. Mainly your attention may be drawn to how you can improve your perspective on life by interacting with people who are fair and balanced in how they respond. It’s a good time to make friends with genuinely nice people.

Venus at 24 degrees 19 minutes Scorpio sextile retrograde Pluto 24 degrees 19 minutes Capricorn 7.44 am GMT 8.44 am BST 2nd October 2021.

Regeneration or a rebirth of beliefs, regardless of whether or not they’re religious, will open up a world of opportunity and knowledge that was previously out of reach. This can show you how to regain power or to discover power that you didn’t know you have. A deeper insight of the goals you can accomplish with the approach that “knowledge is power” is definitely significant in this transit. Don’t put big and dramatic changes into motion just yet; it’s best to prepare for now and wait until Pluto has turned direct. Immense enjoyment will be felt by going into depth of what you relish or gives you satisfaction. Auspicious chances are available for the taking to obtain what you desire with a passion, as long as you’re willing to be relentless to get it. Your chances of success are increased according to the amount of effort you’re willing to put in. Who knows? You could make important and dramatic changes that in the long-term will make your life a lot more pleasant.

The Sun at 6 degrees 59 minutes Libra is trine retrograde Saturn at 6 degrees 59 minutes Aquarius at 10.20 pm GMT 11.20 pm BST 29th September 2021.

This is a good transit for reviewing the structures in your life and to see how they can be altered to benefit you in the near future. It won’t be a hard task that will drag on and on. However, you may be quite possibly surprised about what your priorities are and how what is important to you has shifted. Although there is a possibility of going off at a tangent, there will be enough discipline and control for the effect of this transit to be productive. You may find it’s time to organise elements of your life to bring a sense of order that is tailored to your requirements.

A great amount of focus and determination can be easily used to reach for and obtain what you have dreamed of for quite some time. The heart will definitely rule the head; if a little charm and persuasion have to be used to get what you desire then so be it. Looking at where you prefer to avoid reality and how this affects the level of peace and harmony you have in your life to see what you can do to make your life more enjoyable. Indulge in what you are passionate about, especially if it stimulates your creativity and imagination. If you want to receive what you dream of you could find it’s magnetically attracted to you, but it’s up to you to seek it because it won’t land in your lap.

Mars at 7 degrees 4 minutes Libra is trine retrograde Saturn at 7 degrees 4 minutes Aquarius at 9.51 pm GMT 10.51 pm BST 25th September 2021.

Patience and an ability to remain enthusiastic about returning to important work and what can be achieved will be steady and evenly balanced. There can be the odd burst of energy, but it won’t get to the point where you can get worn out. If it’s necessary to keep going with work, regardless of which direction it may take, there should be enough energy in reserve to reach completion. Maturity and experience are the best traits to use during this transit. Restarting long-term projects that have been put on hold due to more immediate concerns shouldn’t be too hard.

Venus in Scorpio opposition retrograde Uranus in Taurus 23rd September 2021

Venus at 14 degrees 19 minutes Scorpio is opposition retrograde Uranus at 14 degrees 19 minutes Taurus at 9.41 am GMT 10.41 am BST 23rd September 2021.

Unresolved tensions in marriage or romantic relationships will resurface. For those who are single, there is the temptation to at least state an interest in starting a relationship with who you are attracted to if the feeling is mutual. However, further down the line you could find you were not prepared for what is involved. Excitement may be sought to alleviate the effect of being or feeling confined to routine, but care must be taken to avoid sudden unpleasant surprises. If you’re in the mood today to spend money today then stop. Keep hold of your cash for now because in the near future there may be practical reasons why you will need it, which could come a quite a shock when the time comes.

Being too willing to compromise or hesitant to make decisions to avoid unpleasant situations may create more problems than you think can be created. This affects your ability to make important achievements that can be empowering. If you’re tempted to take the easiest options now you could regret it later. Not much can be gained without hard work. Mentally challenging circumstances will make it a struggle to have peace of mind. Important transformations or potentially life changing decisions can bring frustration. This will test your ability to be calm and diplomatic with those who throw obstacles in your way.
