By the end of January a home and property matter involving family should be settled - the operative word being should. Being a Princess and the Pea sign, however, has you weighing up every option when you really just need to make a move. The outcome will be a happy one. When you get there.
Then this month is meant to be fun and romantic and involve parties!
Of course, it's the getting there that's difficult. You need to make the right decision, of course. And in order to do this, you need to think and think and think on it.
I have the utmost confidence in you, Libra, that you will make the right decision. You just need the time in which to decide, bless you.
And now, back to our program of romance and fun! On Saturday, January 22, lotto lucky Jupiter enters your seventh house of partnerships. You will be mightily blessed in all your partnerships - love and business - all the way until Saturday, June 4. That's over four months of extra special blessings with others!
In your work you will have a helper - someone who acts on your behalf and makes good things happen.
Your seventh house rules contracts as well, so anything you sign (except when Mercury is retrograde during that time which is Wednesday, March 30 - Saturday, April 23) will be extremely fortuitous. This covers all contracts with others, from the contract of marriage to a property lease to selling your book.
Love is especially strong. Particularly this February.
In your fifth house of romance, creativity, and fun you have: almighty, life-giving Sun; sexy Mars; enchanting Neptune; healing Chiron; nurturing Ceres; an exciting new Moon on Wednesday, February 2; and brilliant Mercury as of Thursday, February 3
Single Libra, watch for a new lover to appear around the new Moon of Wednesday, February 2. New ideas and creations also have a funny way of popping up then.
And so you are off to an exciting start, dear Libra, with all this new fun in your life and a new Moon in Aquarius Wednesday, February 2! You are being called to participate in the world more, to perform more, and to show your love more truthfully.
Love connections are already revealing good promise of this. The long chill some Librans have felt for and from some loved ones is finally lifting.
You have lost some friends and you have had some harsh criticisms of you with Saturn in your sign. You have also had it hard generally. Saturn doesn't mess around and has a particular way of slamming you with hard realities when you are busy day-dreaming about your future, perfect life.
Libra Jupiter playwright David Henry Hwang (born August 11, 1957) wisely wrote: Happiness is so rare, the mind does somersaults to protect it.
You have been turning a few somersaults yourself. But oh, really, who doesn't? Here's another wise Libra (Libra Sun, born September 26, 1888) T.S. Eliot: Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
But with Saturn retrograde from Wednesday, January 26 to Sunday, June 12, even though you will be re-creating your role in life and re-birthing old past parts of you, and that is challenging, everyday reality will generally go easier. Saturn releases its cold hard grip on you and who you are for four plus months.
Life also becomes easier money-wise, particularly if you freelance, and if you are waiting on someone else's money.
January's full Moon on Wednesday, January 19 - which I talked about in your last month's horoscope - has to have brought you a feeling of relief by now. It's the kind of relief you feel when a heavy decision is taken out of your hands. And this relief is guilt-free.
As you yourself have made this decision. You did it. You simply put yourself in a position where you could choose. And you have. Hallelujah, dear Libra!
The full Moon of this month - occurring on Friday, February 18 - takes place in your eleventh house of friends and professional community. There, also, you will begin to feel relief.
As if you'd finally sorted out what's what and who goes where.
Venus helps you particularly in terms of home and property. But of course, Venus' main line is LOVE, and here is where we come to February 14. Valentine's Day.
Originally from Lupercalia, the Roman "festival of sexual license" held on February 15, the word lupercalia comes from lupus which means wolf in Latin. And wolves mate for life.
The founders of Rome, the twins Romulus and Remus, were suckled by a She-Wolf.
So, here we have, nurturing, sex, and life-long mates.
All sounding suspiciously like the theme of Valentine's Day!
Geoffrey Chaucer on Valentine's Day:
For this was Seynt Valentine's Day
when every foul cometh to choose his mate.
-- Parlement of Foules by Geoffrey Chaucer (1342 - 1400).
Here is Libra's response:
This does feel a bit pressurized...as if I had to get everything together for Valentine's Day because the birds have...When I really don't have a clue, and I mean, really, throw me a bone here! And --
Well, thank goodness, Venus, my planet, is direct for Valentine's Day!
Being Libra, sign of partnership, ruled by Venus, planet of love, Valentine's Day pressure does press closest on you. Look at what The New York Times wrote about this Libran astrologer on Valentine's Day. The article's title was For Psychic to the Lovelorn, Valentine's Day Pressure Is On.
So, I know how you're feeling.
But others will refuse to see it. Why?
Because, dear Libra, you will be looking better and acting better than you have in a long while, and everyone's relieved and cheering you on!
And you will have a beautiful Valentine's Day. No pressure there. You will finally be letting go...
And, speaking of Valentine's Day...I am having a Valentine Reading Special Sale! If you call before Valentine's Day to book a reading with me! (For any time in 2011.)
