Libra Daily Forecast

Until October 6, you've got main-character energy with thought and chat planet Mercury in your sign. You can charm a wall into talking back. But don't script the whole play—let conversations go sideways. Go deep. Let weird stuff come up. The stuff you're trying to avoid might be exactly where the magic is. You don't have to control the narrative, just listen like you mean it.

Mercury's return to Libra today couldn't come with better timing. As well as returning in time to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open ahead of the Sun's return in five days to begin your birthday month and new solar year, Mercury returns to help you get the most out of Mars' final days. While Mercury's return might curb some of Mars' impulsiveness, with this smart and practical planet giving you better control of where to channel his warrior and competitive spirit and on capturing this before he leaves, not to return to Libra for another four years.

Mercury, the planet of communication's return to Libra today might come with mixed blessings, but with perfect timing. As was the case when Mars returned, this will see Mercury clash with Neptune in your relationship sector, just as both the Moon and Venus, the planet of love are working in harmony with other planets there. Mercury is only in Libra for a few weeks, with a chance to get the planet of communication working from the start.

Life is likely to be problematic if you’ve unrealistically high expectations. Inevitable arguments follow if you're expecting more than others are prepared to give. Try to keep your conduct in check and don’t put undue pressure on your partner or friendships by making inappropriate or impossible demands.

As well as leaving you with your professional instincts sharp, the Moon’s departure from your career sector yesterday has left you with a read on the changing dynamics on the income, work and career fronts. While professionally things are locked in and will even get a further boost when Neptune returns to your work sector next month, it is on the income front that there is about to be some accelerated growth.

While the Moon’s departure from your career sector yesterday has left you with your professional instincts sharp and a window into some seriously positive forces building on the income, work and career fronts, the best is still to come. This is something that Mars, the warrior planet of the cosmos will take advantage of when he returns to your income sector next week to declare war on glass ceilings, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined as he gives you the drive to fight for what you deserve.

If you’re out of shape physically and unreasonable in your expectations, imagining you’re able to achieve more fitness than is realistic to expect. Think about gradually improving your stamina more modestly, get a massage and do relaxation exercises. Don’t undertake a punishing regime when you’re not ready.
