Libra Monthly Horoscope
The horoscope for Libra (September 23 – October 22) for the current month. It is built from real events in the sky — planets changing signs, stations, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and aspects — and breaks the month down by area of life and by day.
The month in brief
The Sun in the 2nd house: a month of money. By tradition, the focus is on earnings, possessions and whatever you rely on.
By tradition the tone of the period is light: harmonious aspects (6) clearly outnumber tense ones (3). A good time to move things forward and ask for what you want.
Mon, November 9, 2:03 AM — New Moon in Scorpio, 2nd house. A New Moon in your 2nd house opens a money cycle. By tradition it is the time to set a budget, look for a new source of income, make well-considered purchases and start saving.
Fri, November 13, 10:57 AM — Mercury stations and turns direct again (in Scorpio, 2nd house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — money and possessions — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Fri, November 13, 7:29 PM — Venus stations and turns direct again (in Libra, 1st house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — self and well-being — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Sun, November 22, 2:24 AM — Sun changes sign: now in Sagittarius, 3rd house. The Sun in the 3rd house: a month of communication — messages, conversations, short trips, learning.
Tue, November 24, 9:54 AM — Full Moon in Gemini, 9th house. A Full Moon in your 9th house brings results in study, travel and legal matters: exam results and decisions arrive. By tradition a good time to finish rather than to start.
Wed, November 25, 6:38 PM — Mars changes sign: now in Virgo, 12th house. Mars in the 12th house: hidden fatigue and behind-the-scenes conflicts; tradition advises against picking fights.
Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planet positions, aspects and eclipses are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one the 2nd, and so on. Good and difficult days are chosen by the rules of tradition: the Moon's house, planet positions, the day's aspects, New and Full Moons and eclipses.
Love and relationships
Venus in your sign is by tradition the best time of the year for love: you are attractive and attention finds you by itself. Good for meeting people and refreshing your wardrobe and image.
Venus is retrograde right now. By tradition, a time to return to past relationships and spending; anything new — a romance, big purchases, a wedding — is best started after it turns direct.
Until November 25. Mars in your 11th house: an active social life, but also arguments with friends. By tradition a friend may become a rival — or a lover.
From November 25. Mars in your 12th house: hidden irritation and secret attractions. By tradition what is left unsaid piles up — better to speak directly but gently.

Mercury in the 2nd house: business talk centers on money, prices, deals and calculations.

Saturn in your 7th house: by tradition look after your lower back and kidneys; tension in relationships affects how you feel.
When the Moon is in the 8th or 12th house from your sign, by tradition it drains your strength — rest on those days; in the 1st house and in the 5th and 9th (trines to your sign) you have the most energy.

How this horoscope is put together
The monthly horoscope is built from real events in the sky from the first day of the month to the last: the Sun and planets entering new signs, the stations of Mercury, Venus, Mars and the outer planets, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and every exact aspect of the month. Positions come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.
Events are translated into the language of your sign using solar houses: Libra is the 1st house, the next sign is the 2nd, and so on. Each area is read separately: love from Venus and Mars, work from Mars, Saturn and Mercury, money from Jupiter and Venus, energy from Mars, Saturn and the Moon.
The lucky days for each area are the days with the highest total score: the Moon's house, planetary positions and retrogrades, exact aspects, the New Moon, the Full Moon and eclipses. The "By day" table shows the score for each day of the month and the events that made it up.
Ruler of Libra
The ruler of the sign is Venus. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Libra than for other signs: favorable aspects of the ruler strengthen the whole period, while tense ones make it harder.
