The Week Ahead for Libra
Monday, October 19th – Sunday, October 25th
Maybe things look all right on the surface. Perhaps there are signs that you welcome. However, you’d be wiser to dig as deep as you can to uncover any last trace of “grime”. And, by the same token, you may discover treasure. That’s Pluto for you: trash or treasure. On Sunday, Venus heads into your sign making life a lot easier and helping you succeed, especially in your labours of love. At the same time, Mercury turns retrograde, which may hold you back and frustrate your efforts periodically, but then, it could also save you a whole lot of hassle by uncovering a major error.
Comme ci, comme ҫa

Monday, October 12th – Sunday, October 18th
Mars-Saturn influences may not breed an abundance of joy, but they are purposeful. Reality and expedience are what this combination requires, so if you’re tying yourself up in knots trying to figure out what is going to please everyone else, make it simple: ask yourself what you want to do and what is going to produce the best result – not necessarily the same thing, of course. Make the hard decision now, put in the hard work now, and you’ll reap the benefits in the long-term. Take a short cut, opt for a quick fix, and you’ll face an even bigger dilemma further down the line.
The hard choice is the right choice.

The Month Ahead for Libra
October 2026
It may make sense to leave a situation alone until you are in a position of knowledge, but if finances are involved, the sooner you open negotiations and get your ducks in a row, the better. Venus will head into retrograde on the 3rd, which may explain why a love affair cools or an offer which was on the table is withdrawn. It’s probably not the end of the story, so keep your hopes up. More than one hidden factor will come to light in October, which will be to your advantage, however, you need to be sure that there are no skeletons in your cupboard.

The Year Ahead for Libra
There were hints of things to come last year, and they are here with bells on in 2026… Uranus will establish itself in an area in which it can broaden your horizons in a variety of ways – travel, skills and experience – enabling some of you to spread your influence and attain a higher, even a global profile. Yet both these planetary changes will involve disruption. You may have to make a long-distance move or end a partnership, but what is in store for you necessitates a sacrifice. Front of the queue here are September-born Librans; the October birthdays have a smoother ride yet not quite as many dreamy events.
