Libra Monthly Horoscope 2013 June

Patience is your key to success this month as waves of change grow stronger and stronger. Valuable Venus in your 9th House of Big Ideas continues her retrograde period through June 27, advising you to reconsider your goals and create a new strategy to satisfy your desires. A casual conversation reveals emotional unrest as the Sagittarius Full Moon Eclipse on June 4 shakes up your 3rd House of Communication.

You are tempted to withdraw from an uncomfortable discussion, because this Lunar Eclipse squares angry Mars in your 12th House of Secrets. But your frustration can fuel resolution when the Sun moves closer to squaring superhero Mars on June 7, pushing you into action. Global Jupiter’s entry into versatile Gemini and your 9th House on June 11 excites you with the amazing array of alternatives ahead of you.

Libra Horoscope May 2013

You are happily freed from delays and obstacles that have blocked your progress this year—but you may still need to overcome your own lack of motivation. Both mental Mercury and physical Mars turned direct last month, and now that they have regained their normal speeds, you’re finally able to act on your thoughts. But, ironically, your ruling planet, Venus—in inquisitive Gemini and your 9th House of Adventure—slows to a standstill through the first half of the month.

The planet of love turns retrograde on May 15, focusing your desires on recapturing the past instead of anticipating the variety of pleasures that await you in the future. Fortunately, this period—until Venus turns direct on June 27—can stabilize your love life and give you the chance to solidify long-term plans for travel or education later in the year, because Venus syncs up in a near trine to realistic Saturn throughout the entire month.

Libra Horoscope April 2013

You are able to reestablish your confidence and forge a new path forward this month as energetic Mars turns direct in your 12th House of Destiny on April 13. You might have experienced a loss of direction during Mars’s retrograde, which began on January 23, yet the spiritual lessons that you have learned instilled a new sense of purpose and now reveal the inner strength you gained.

But confusion reigns through the first half of the month as Mars slowly backtracks toward a near opposition to vague Neptune in your 6th House of Habits, making it even tougher to know which way to turn and what to do on a day-to-day basis. If you feel defeated or are tired without knowing why, don’t give up. Your energy and clarity will return as Mars distances himself from diffusive Neptune and speeds up throughout the second half of the month.

Libra Monthly Horoscope 2013 March

This month presents you with significant opportunities, but you must take the initiative, and maybe even risk loss, to make the most of them. Decisive action is required, but you may not see the results of your efforts until later in the year. Action-planet Mars in skillful Virgo continues to backtrack in your 12th House of Secrets, enabling you to act behind the scenes effectively without requiring recognition from others.

Communicator Mercury blasts into enthusiastic Aries on March 2, but then slows down for its retrograde period on March 12-April 4—a time when your words can become tangled, your explanations misunderstood, and solutions unraveled. You may also be hitting the brakes in relationships on March 4 when eager Venus in impatient Aries opposes restraining Saturn.

Libra Monthly Horoscope 2013 February

You may be pulled between artistic pursuits and more mundane tasks as planets that begin the month in your 5th House of Creativity transition into your 6th House of Employment. On February 3, dreamy Neptune is the first to make the move, but its immediate impact is subtle because it stays in surreal Pisces and your 6th House for thirteen years. The proud Leo Full Moon on the 7th shines in your 11th House of Friends and Wishes, enabling you to put your best foot forward in social situations and show off your generous heart.

Fortunately, this reflection of the Sun and eloquent Mercury in your 5th House of Self-Expression gives you just the right words to describe your hopes for the future. Meanwhile, lovable Venus prompts you to find ways to create peace and harmony in your work environment while she travels through your 6th House of Service until the 8th.

Libra January Horoscope 2013

You may begin the year with heightened expectations about love; your ruling planet, Venus, in your 5th House of Romance aligns with Mars in your 12th House of Destiny on January 1. But bridging the gap between what you want and what you have can be tricky business when Venus and Mars, the cosmic lovers, form an ill-adjusted quincunx on January 7. Demands at work can put stress on domestic conditions when the security-conscious Cancer Full Moon spotlights your 10th House of Public Responsibility on January 9.

Thankfully, balancing your dreams with reality is within reach on January 13 as Venus forms a harmonious trine with stable Saturn and hooks up with ethereal Neptune. This hopeful transit triggers a constructive Saturn-Neptune trine that’s exact on October 10, yet you must work extra-hard now to get the results you desire. Fortunately, the potential rewards are well worth the wait.
