Libra yearly horoscope

A general yearly reading for Libra. For the personal version, Nocturne reads your full birth chart.

The year's main story

You're coming home to yourself in 2026, and it will cost you something to get there. The year opens with your ruler Venus still in Capricorn, deep in your fourth house, the domain of home, family, roots, and the private emotional life that no one else sees. This is a year of reckoning with what you have built and what you need to dismantle. By midyear, as multiple planets move through Gemini and activate your ninth house of belief, travel, and the wider view, you will be asking bigger questions about what your private foundation is actually for. And by autumn, as Venus stations retrograde in your house of self-worth and Mercury does the same in your house of money, you will be forced to sit with the gap between what you thought you owned and what you actually possess.

The engine driving this year is slow and patient. Saturn enters Aries and your house of partnerships on February 14, asking you to grow up in your one-to-one dealings and to be more honest about what you expect from the people across the table from you. Neptune enters Aries on January 26 and will spend the next thirteen years in your partnership house, beginning a slow dissolution of any fantasy you have been holding about love or commitment. Uranus, which stations direct in your house of shared resources and intimacy in early February, will then make its way into Gemini in late April, beginning a long transit through your house of belief and travel that will reconfigure how you think about what is yours and what belongs to the wider world. These are slow movements of the tectonic plates beneath your life.

What makes 2026 feel sharp and particular is the eclipse story. Two eclipses in your house of play, creativity, and romance, one annular solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17, another total lunar eclipse in Leo on August 12, will reset what you do for pleasure and what you allow yourself to want. These eclipses sandwich the spring, a period when Mars and Mercury move through your partnership house and ask you to speak more directly and fight harder for what matters to you. Between January and May, something in your private foundation will shift. You will either reinforce it or begin to dismantle it. By the time Jupiter enters Leo and your house of friendship and group belonging in late June, you will have already made the decision, even if you don't know it yet.

The second half of the year brings two long retrogrades that demand you look at what you think you're worth. Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio, your house of money and self-value, beginning October 3. Mercury follows in the same house on October 24. For seven weeks, these two planets will turn your financial life and your sense of your own merit inside out. What you thought was stable will show itself as fragile. What you thought you owned may belong to someone else. This is a demand that you get honest about what you actually deserve and what you are willing to let go of. Retrogrades are reversals and reconsiderations, not final verdicts.

Underneath all of this runs a deeper pattern. Pluto has moved into Aquarius and your house of creativity, play, and what you do for joy. Pluto in this house, for the next twenty years, will systematically dismantle any false pleasures, any relationships or creative pursuits that are not genuine, any version of romance or play that keeps you small. It begins its work gently, the first eclipse in February will clear some ground, and the retrograde in May will show you what needs to be rebuilt, but by the end of the year, Pluto turns direct in mid-October and settles in. The question underneath all of 2026 is "what am I actually willing to create, with my own hands, for real?"

You are being asked to choose what is real over what is comfortable. Venus is in your house of family and roots for much of the year, and Saturn enters your partnership house for a seven-year cycle. These are the transits of someone who is finally ready to be honest, with themselves, with their family, with the people they are in relationship with. The year will ask you to choose what is real over what is comfortable. You will lose some things. You will keep the ones that matter.

First quarter

January opens with Mercury moving into Capricorn on the 1st, bringing your conversation and short information-gathering into your home and family terrain. This is the moment when you start asking practical questions: what is the state of your living situation, your family relationships, your sense of safety and belonging? These are concrete questions. Mercury in Capricorn is concrete and serious. If something has been falling apart in your family or your home, you will begin to notice it clearly. If you have been avoiding a conversation with a parent or sibling, the impulse to have it will arrive. Mercury is the messenger, and in early January, the message concerns your foundation.

On the same day, Chiron stations direct in Aries, and this is significant. Chiron has been retrograde in your seventh house, your house of partnerships and people across the table. For the past months, you have been reworking concerns about fairness, about being heard, about whether you can trust the person in front of you. As Chiron turns direct, you stop looking backward and begin to apply what you have learned. You will be more skilled in naming what you need from a partner. You will be clearer about your boundaries. This direct turn is a shift from reflection to action.

The Full Moon in Cancer on January 3 falls in your tenth house, the house of career and public reputation. This moon illuminates what you have built professionally and publicly over the past year. It may bring a completion, a recognition, a moment when you see how far you have come. More likely, it will show you a gap between what you present to the world and what you feel in private. This is a moment of reckoning with the cost of your ambition. What have you sacrificed to build your public image? What do you miss? The Full Moon does not answer these questions; it simply asks them loudly enough that you have to listen.

On January 17, Venus enters Aquarius and your fifth house of creativity, romance, and play. This is a major shift. For weeks, Venus has been in your fourth house, turning your attention inward to family and home. Now it turns outward, and you begin to want something lighter, something more pleasurable. You may feel the pull of a new romance, a new creative project, a desire to be seen as someone more fun and less responsible. But hold this lightly. Venus in Aquarius is detached and experimental. This lightness is not lasting commitment. This is the beginning of a conversation about what brings you joy, not the answer to it.

That conversation deepens on January 18 with the New Moon in Capricorn, again in your fourth house. New Moons are seeds, and this one is planting something in the soil of your home and family. You may decide to redecorate, to repair something that has been broken, to have a conversation you have been putting off. Or you may simply feel a door opening, an invitation to begin something new in your private life. The New Moon does not demand action. It simply shows you where growth is possible.

On January 20, the Sun enters Aquarius, moving into your fifth house and beginning Aquarius season. This is the time when your creative energy is strongest, when you are most willing to take risks, when you want to be surprising and a little bit rebellious. The same day, Mercury enters Aquarius too, and you begin to speak differently. Your conversations become lighter, more playful, less burdened by family history. On January 23, Mars enters Aquarius as well, and now your drive, your sexual energy, your willingness to fight for something, all moves into the domain of play and creativity. For the next weeks, you are more willing to pursue what you want. You are braver, more direct, more willing to say no to things that don't delight you.

But then, on January 26, Neptune enters Aries and your seventh house of partnerships. This is one of the big transits of the year, and it will reshape your understanding of love and commitment for the next thirteen years. Neptune dissolves, confuses, and spiritualizes whatever it touches. In your partnership house, this means that the clarity you thought you had about other people will begin to blur. You will find yourself more idealistic about love, more willing to see what you want to see rather than what is actually there. You will be more romantic, more longing, more susceptible to disappointment. You will need to work harder to stay clear about what is real in your relationships.

On February 1, the Full Moon in Leo falls in your eleventh house of friendship, groups, and what you are aiming toward in the longer term. This is a moment when a friendship may come to completion, when you see clearly what a group means to you, when you recognize what you are building together. It may bring joy, or it may bring a necessary ending. Either way, the clarity is what matters.

February 4 brings Uranus stationing direct in Taurus, your eighth house of shared money, debt, and intimate transformation. Uranus has been retrograde in this house, and you have been rethinking what you owe and what you are owed. As it turns direct, whatever you have been deliberating about, a shared financial commitment, a debt you need to address, the terms of intimacy with someone, moves from internal processing to external action. You may begin to have conversations about money with a partner. You may decide to restructure a shared arrangement. You may end something that has been tying you to another person.

From February 6 onward, Mercury moves into Pisces and your sixth house of daily work, routine, and health. This begins a more vulnerable period in your thinking. Mercury in Pisces is intuitive and diffuse; it struggles with concrete details and practical boundaries. You may find it harder to speak directly about your needs at work. Your communication becomes vaguer, less assertive. This is valuable if you are dealing with creative work or if you need to be more empathic with people around you. It is a problem if you are negotiating a contract or need to set a firm deadline. Pay attention to this shift in your thinking.

On February 10, Venus enters Pisces as well, and your approach to work becomes gentler. You are less willing to be purely professional and more willing to let your feelings into your interactions with colleagues. You may become more generous with your time, more willing to help, more likely to take on work that is not technically yours to do. This softness is valuable in the right context. It is dangerous if you need to maintain clear boundaries.

On February 14, Saturn enters Aries and your seventh house of partnerships. This is another major turning point. Saturn spends roughly three years in each sign, and it will spend the next three in your house of one-to-one relationships. Saturn's message: grow up. Stop fantasizing about what a partner should be. Start naming what you actually need and can actually live with. Stop avoiding difficult conversations. Start having them. Saturn in your partnership house is serious, demanding, and ultimately clarifying. If you are in a committed relationship, this transit will test it. You and your partner will have to get more honest, more responsible, more willing to do the work. If you are single, you will become less willing to settle, less interested in fantasy, more clear-eyed about what you actually want from another person. Either way, the next three years will be about stripping away the false and building something that can actually hold weight.

On February 17, the annular solar eclipse in Aquarius falls in your fifth house of romance, creativity, and play. This is the first of two eclipses in this house in 2026, and it is a reset. Something you have been doing for pleasure, or a romance you have been pursuing, reaches a turning point. You may end something that has been taking your energy. You may begin something new. The eclipse does not dictate what happens; it simply opens a door and clears away what no longer serves. Pay close attention to what emerges in the weeks after this eclipse. It is a sign of what wants to grow.

On February 18, the Sun enters Pisces and your sixth house. Your energy becomes more vulnerable, less directly assertive. This is a time for steadiness, attention to detail, care of your body and your daily routines. The next month will ask you to be more responsible about your health, more careful about your work habits, more willing to tend to the smaller systems that keep your life running.

On February 26, Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, still in your sixth house. Retrogrades are reversals and reconsiderations. For the next three weeks, your thinking will turn backward. You may reconsider a work decision. You may revisit a conversation with a colleague. You may realize that something you thought was settled is not. Use this retrograde to clarify. Mercury retrograde is not a disaster; it is an invitation to think again.

On March 2, the Full Moon in Virgo falls in your twelfth house, the house of rest, retreat, what is hidden, and what is quietly finishing. Full Moons bring things to light. This one illuminates what needs to end, what needs to be released, what is finishing without your direct action. You may realize that something you thought was yours is actually moving away. You may feel the pull to withdraw, to rest, to let something go. Listen to that pull.

On March 3, a total lunar eclipse in Virgo also falls in your twelfth house. This is the second eclipse of the first quarter, and it is more final than the eclipse in February. Lunar eclipses are about release. This one is clearing away something you have been holding, something you have been protecting, something that has been quietly working against you. It may be grief, shame, an old story you have been telling yourself about what is possible. Whatever it is, it is leaving. The weeks after this eclipse will feel lighter, even if you don't understand why.

On March 6, Venus enters Aries and your seventh house of partnerships. This is a major shift. Your approach to relationships becomes more direct, more willing to fight, less concerned with keeping the peace. Venus in Aries wants what it wants, and it wants it now. You may find yourself drawn to someone new, someone exciting and a little bit dangerous. Or you may find that you become less willing to accept crumbs from the people already in your life. Venus in Aries is bold.

On March 11, Jupiter stations direct in Cancer and your tenth house of career. Jupiter has been retrograde, turning your attention inward to your professional choices and your public image. As it turns direct, your outward momentum in your career begins to build again. You may receive an offer, a recognition, an opportunity to grow. You may feel more confidence in your public presence. Jupiter direct is expansion, and in your career house, it is suggesting that growth is ready to move forward again.

On March 19, the New Moon in Pisces falls in your sixth house. This is a seed for your work and daily life. You may decide to begin a new project, to change your routine, to commit to a health practice. Or you may simply feel an opening, a sense that something new is possible in the practical, daily terrain of your life.

On March 20, the Sun enters Aries and your seventh house, beginning Aries season. Your attention shifts outward to other people. You are more willing to be direct, more willing to pursue, more willing to assert yourself. The same day, Mercury stations direct in Pisces, and your thinking clears. Whatever you were reconsidering in late February comes to resolution. You can move forward with more confidence.

On March 30, Venus enters Taurus and your eighth house of shared resources and intimate transformation. This is a shift toward stability and sensuality. Venus in Taurus wants to touch, to feel, to build something that lasts. In your eighth house, this means you are willing to merge resources, to deepen intimacy, to share money and vulnerability with someone you trust. This is a more grounded, earthier energy than Venus in Aries. It is less flash, more substance.

By the end of March, the first quarter has moved you through multiple turning points. You have had seeds planted in your home and family. You have had endings in what is hidden and what is finishing. You have had resets in your creativity and play. You are standing at the threshold of spring with more clarity about what you need from partnerships and more willingness to be direct about it.

Second quarter

April opens with the Full Moon in Libra on the 2nd, falling in your first house of self and identity. This is a moment of personal culmination. Something about who you are, how you are presenting yourself, how you are moving through the world reaches a peak. You may look in the mirror and barely recognize yourself. You may receive feedback about how others see you. You may feel a shift in your confidence or your bearing. Full Moons in your own sign are powerful, they are about you becoming more fully yourself.

On April 9, Mars enters Aries and your seventh house of partnerships. Mars is the god of war and desire. In your partnership house, it makes you more willing to fight for what you want, more direct in your speech, more honest about what you need. If you have been biting your tongue with a partner, that ends. If you have been waiting for someone else to make a move, you make it yourself. Mars in Aries is impatient and bold. It does not compromise unless it has to.

On April 15, Mercury enters Aries as well, and your communication becomes sharper, more direct, less willing to soften the truth. You speak your mind in partnerships. You ask questions that have been sitting on your chest. You refuse to pretend everything is fine when it is not. This is definitely more honest.

On April 17, the New Moon in Aries falls in your seventh house of partnerships. This is a seed for your relationships. You may decide to have a difficult conversation you have been avoiding. You may end something that has outlived its usefulness. You may begin something new with a partner. Or you may simply feel an opening, a sense that your partnership life is ready to shift.

On April 20, the Sun enters Taurus and your eighth house of shared money, intimacy, and transformation. For the next month, your energy is pulled into the deeper, more vulnerable terrain of shared resources and intimate connection. This is a time when you are willing to be vulnerable, to share, to merge. You are less defended, more open, more willing to let someone else affect you.

On April 24, Venus enters Gemini and your ninth house of belief, travel, and the wider view. This is a significant shift. Your romantic energy becomes lighter, more curious, more interested in exploring new horizons. You may feel the pull to travel, to study something new, to expand your understanding of what is possible. Venus in Gemini is interested. It wants to learn, to converse, to see what else is out there. If you are in a committed relationship, this may create some tension, your attention is being pulled outward, and your partner may feel it. If you are single, you may meet someone who widens your world.

On April 26, Uranus enters Gemini and your ninth house. This is a major, long-term shift. Uranus spends roughly seven years in each sign, and it will spend the next seven in your house of belief, travel, and the wider view. Uranus is the god of disruption, innovation, and sudden change. In your ninth house, it means your understanding of what is true, what you believe, where you are willing to go, will be systematically disrupted. You will be less willing to follow the path you thought was laid out for you. You will be more interested in unusual ideas, unconventional learning, surprising journeys. This is unsettling. For the next seven years, your world will get wider and stranger.

From May onward, the emphasis shifts to money and self-worth. On May 1, the Full Moon in Scorpio falls in your second house of money, possessions, and self-value. This is a moment when you see clearly what you own and what owns you, what you think you are worth and what you actually deserve. It may bring a financial reckoning. It may show you that you have been undervaluing yourself. It may illuminate what you are holding onto that no longer serves.

On May 3, Mercury enters Taurus and your eighth house of shared money and intimate transformation. Your thinking becomes more grounded, more concerned with what is real and what can be held in your hand. In the eighth house, this means you are willing to talk about money with a partner, to discuss shared resources, to be honest about what you can and cannot afford. Mercury in Taurus is practical and stubborn. It does not change its mind easily, and it does not agree to something unless the logic is airtight.

On May 6, Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius and your fifth house of creativity, play, and romance. Pluto has entered Aquarius and is beginning a twenty-year process of transforming what you do for pleasure and how you love. As it turns retrograde, the first cycle of this transformation begins to work internally. You will start to question what you have been calling joy. You will start to wonder if the creative projects you have been pursuing actually belong to you or if you have been doing them to please someone else. You will start to see through the fantasy in a romance. By the time Pluto turns direct in mid-October, you will have made some difficult internal choices about what is true.

On May 16, the New Moon in Taurus falls in your eighth house of shared money and intimate transformation. This is a seed for deeper partnership and shared resources. You may decide to merge finances with someone, to deepen a sexual or emotional connection, to face something you have been avoiding with a partner. The New Moon does not force anything; it simply opens a door.

On May 17, Mercury enters Gemini and your ninth house of belief and the wider view. Your thinking becomes lighter, more curious, more interested in exploring new ideas. You want to read, to learn, to have interesting conversations. Your mind is restless, and it wants to wander. This is a good time for research, for study, for gathering information about something that interests you.

On May 18, Mars enters Taurus and your eighth house. Mars in the eighth house is intense, sexual, willing to go deep. In Taurus, it is stubborn and slow-burning. You are less interested in quick conquests and more interested in depth. You want to merge, to share, to build something that lasts. In the shared money domain, Mars in Taurus means you are willing to fight for what is yours or what is fair. You are immovable.

On May 19, Venus enters Cancer and your tenth house of career and public image. Your romantic and creative energy becomes more concerned with what you are building in the public world. You may want to share your work with others, to be seen, to be known for something you have created. Venus in Cancer is emotional and defensive. It cares what people think. In your career house, this means you want to do work that matters, work that feeds your soul, work that you can be proud of.

On May 21, the Sun enters Gemini and your ninth house, beginning Gemini season. Your attention is pulled outward to learning, travel, belief, and the wider view. You want to explore, to question, to understand. Your curiosity is at its peak. The next month will ask you to expand, to take risks, to say yes to something unfamiliar.

On May 31, the Full Moon in Sagittarius falls in your third house of conversation, short trips, neighbors, and the daily information churn. This is a moment when something you have been learning becomes clear, when a conversation reaches a natural conclusion, when you see the landscape of your daily life more sharply. It may bring a shift in how you understand your siblings or your immediate environment.

On June 1, Mercury enters Cancer and your tenth house of career and public reputation. Your thinking becomes more emotional, more concerned with how your work affects others, more interested in legacy and meaning. Mercury in Cancer is intuitive and protective. In your career house, it means you speak about your work with passion. You are willing to be vulnerable about why your work matters.

On June 13, Venus enters Leo and your eleventh house of friendship, groups, and what you are aiming toward longer term. Venus in Leo is generous, dramatic, and wants to be adored. In your eleventh house, this means you are very invested in your friendships, very interested in group belonging, very concerned with what your broader community thinks of you. You want to give to your friends, to be central in your circle, to be valued for your generosity and your loyalty.

On June 15, the New Moon in Gemini falls in your ninth house. This is a seed for expansion. You may decide to plan a trip, to begin a course of study, to explore a new belief system, to say yes to an adventure. The New Moon opens a door. What comes through it is yours to discover.

On June 21, the Sun enters Cancer and your tenth house, beginning Cancer season. Your professional energy is at its peak. You are more willing to be seen, more interested in building something substantial, more concerned with legacy and meaning. The next month will be a strong time for your career. You may receive recognition, an opportunity, or a clear sense of where you are headed.

On June 28, Mars enters Gemini and your ninth house of belief and the wider view. Mars is active, aggressive, willing to fight. In Gemini, it becomes restless and intellectual. In your ninth house, this means you are willing to argue for what you believe, to take risks in pursuit of knowledge, to defend your ideas. You are more combative in discussions, more willing to challenge what others say, more confident in your own thinking.

On June 29, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer and your tenth house. Retrogrades are reversals and reconsiderations. Your thinking about your career, your public image, your professional path turns backward. You may reconsider a decision you made about your work. You may revisit a conversation with a boss or colleague. You may realize that what you thought was settled is not. Use this retrograde to think again.

Also on June 29, the Full Moon in Capricorn falls in your fourth house of home, family, and roots. This is a moment when something about your private foundation reaches a peak or comes to completion. You may see your family situation more clearly. You may have a resolution with a family member. You may feel a shift in your sense of home and belonging.

Also on June 30, Jupiter enters Leo and your eleventh house of friendship, groups, and what you are aiming toward longer term. Jupiter is expansion, luck, and abundance. In your eleventh house, it means your friendships become more important, your group belonging expands, your sense of what is possible in community grows. For the next year, you are lucky in friendship. Doors open through other people. You may join a group or community that becomes important to you. You may find that your influence grows, that you are more central in your circles.

On July 7, Neptune stations retrograde in Aries and your seventh house of partnerships. Neptune has been moving direct since January, dissolving clarity and increasing idealism in your relationships. As it turns retrograde, the tendency toward fantasy and confusion slows and reverses slightly. You may see a relationship more clearly. The fog lifts a bit. Use this retrograde to look at your partnerships honestly, to question what you have been assuming, to separate what is real from what you have imagined.

On July 9, Venus enters Virgo and your twelfth house of rest, retreat, and what is hidden. Venus in Virgo is discriminating and particular. In your twelfth house, this means you are less interested in being seen, more interested in private pleasures, more willing to withdraw. You may feel drawn to quiet time, to solitude, to hidden or behind-the-scenes pursuits. Your romantic energy becomes more reserved, less showy. If you are in a relationship, you may want more privacy, more time alone. If you are single, you may not be interested in new connections right now.

On July 14, the New Moon in Cancer falls in your tenth house of career and public reputation. This is a seed for your professional life. You may decide to take on a new role, to launch something public, to commit to a professional goal. The New Moon opens a door in your career.

On July 22, the Sun enters Leo and your eleventh house, beginning Leo season. Your attention shifts to friendship, groups, and what you are building with other people. You are more generous, more interested in belonging, more willing to be central in your community. The next month is a strong time for collaboration and group work.

On July 23, Mercury stations direct in Cancer and your tenth house. Your thinking about your career clears. Whatever you were reconsidering in late June comes to resolution. You can move forward with more confidence in your professional direction.

On July 26, Saturn stations retrograde in Aries and your seventh house of partnerships. Saturn has been moving direct since February, asking you to grow up in your relationships, to be more honest, to take on more responsibility. As it turns retrograde, this pressure eases slightly. You may feel less scrutiny from a partner. You may have more freedom to be yourself. Use this period to solidify what you have learned about what you actually need from partnership.

On July 29, the Full Moon in Aquarius falls in your fifth house of romance, creativity, and play. This is a moment of culmination in what brings you joy. A creative project may reach completion. A romance may come to peak or conclusion. You see clearly what has been working and what has not.

On August 3, Chiron stations retrograde in Taurus and your eighth house of shared resources and intimacy. Chiron has been moving direct since January, helping you apply what you know about boundaries and fairness in partnerships. As it turns retrograde, you return to internal reflection on these concerns. This is deepening. You are working with older material about trust, vulnerability, and what it costs to merge with another person.

On August 6, Venus enters Libra and your first house of self and identity. This is a significant shift. Venus in your own sign is a gift. You become more attractive, more interested in how you look and how you present yourself, more aware of your own magnetism. You are more willing to be seen, more interested in your own appearance and comfort. This is a time to invest in yourself, to do something that makes you feel beautiful or powerful or seen. Venus in your first house wants to be admired, and it deserves to be.

On August 9, Mercury enters Leo and your eleventh house of friendship and groups. Your thinking becomes more generous, more interested in what serves the community, more willing to see the bigger picture. You speak about ideas and ideals. Mercury in Leo wants to inspire and to be inspired.

On August 11, Mars enters Cancer and your tenth house of career. Mars is active and assertive. In Cancer, it becomes more protective and emotionally engaged. In your career house, this means you are willing to fight for what matters, to be passionate about your work, to defend what you have built. You are more visible professionally, more willing to take risks, more determined to succeed.

On August 12, a total solar eclipse in Leo falls in your eleventh house of friendship, groups, and what you are aiming toward longer term. This is the second eclipse in your creative and romantic houses (the first was in February). This one is about what you are building with others, what community means to you, what you want to be known for in your broader circle. Something shifts in your friendships, your group involvement, or your sense of belonging. An old friendship may end. A new community may open. The eclipse is a reset. The weeks after it will show you what wants to grow.

On August 23, the Sun enters Virgo and your twelfth house, beginning Virgo season. Your energy becomes more internal, more withdrawn, more interested in rest and reflection. For the next month, you are less interested in being visible and more interested in what is happening beneath the surface. This is a time to rest, to process, to let things settle.

On August 28, a partial lunar eclipse in Pisces falls in your sixth house of daily work, routine, and health. This is an eclipse about what is finishing in your practical life, what routine is no longer serving, what work arrangement is ready to shift. You may let go of a job, a project, or a responsibility. You may change your daily habits. The eclipse is clearing ground in your work life.

On September 10, Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini and your ninth house of belief and the wider view. Uranus has been moving direct since April, pushing you toward new ideas and unconventional thinking. As it turns retrograde, the pace slows. You may feel less restless, less pulled to explore. You may reconsider what you actually believe, what direction you actually want to head. This retrograde period is an internal reassessment of your longer-term vision.

On September 11, the New Moon in Virgo falls in your twelfth house of rest, retreat, and what is hidden. This is a seed for internal work. You may decide to begin a meditation practice, a therapy process, or any kind of inward journey. The New Moon opens a door to the hidden realm.

On September 26, the Full Moon in Aries falls in your seventh house of partnerships. This is a moment of culmination in your relationships. A partnership may come to peak or conclusion. You see clearly what you have been giving and what you have been receiving. This Full Moon demands honesty.

By the end of September, you have moved through both eclipses and are entering the last quarter of the year with a clearer sense of who you are, what you actually want to create with others, and what is finishing in the practical terrain of your life.

Third quarter

October opens with major retrograde activity that will reshape your sense of self-worth and what you own. On October 3, Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio and your second house of money, possessions, and self-value. Venus retrograde is a reconsideration of what you value and what you think you are worth. In your second house, this is directly about money, possessions, and your sense of merit. For the next weeks, you may question your financial decisions. You may reevaluate what you think you should earn. You may reconsider what you own and whether it is serving you. Venus retrograde is an invitation to reassess.

On October 10, the New Moon in Libra falls in your first house of self and identity. This is a seed for who you are becoming. You may decide to rebrand yourself, to start fresh, to begin a new chapter of your life. The New Moon in your own house is powerful. It is asking you to plant yourself anew.

On October 16, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius and your fifth house of romance, creativity, and play. Pluto has been retrograde since May, asking you to question what brings you joy and whether your creative pursuits or romantic involvements are genuine. As it turns direct, you move from internal questioning to external action. You may end something that has been false. You may commit more fully to something that is real. Pluto direct is powerful. It does not compromise.

On October 24, Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio and your second house of money and self-worth. Mercury retrograde is a reconsideration of your thinking. In your second house, this is about how you value yourself, what you think you deserve, what you are willing to ask for. You may reconsider a financial decision. You may revisit a conversation about money. You may realize that what you thought was settled is not. Mercury retrograde gives you another chance to think clearly.

On October 26, the Full Moon in Taurus falls in your eighth house of shared money, debt, and intimate transformation. This is a moment when something about shared resources or deep partnership reaches culmination. You may have a financial reckoning with a partner.
