The Week Ahead for Libra
Monday, May 4th – Sunday, May 10th
Libra may be the sign of balance and harmony but you can argue for the planet. Your instinct to put forward an alternative view sometimes needs to be overridden. This week is a case in point. With Mercury squaring stationary Pluto, arguments are more likely to end acrimoniously so pick your battles and don’t press anyone’s sensitive buttons. By contrast, this is a good week to get to the bottom of a problem, to establish what is causing it or preventing the growth of a perfectly good project or alliance. Be objective but not insensitive.
No time for arguments.

Monday, April 27 – Sunday, May 3
Full moons bring simmering issues to the boil, and since Friday’s full moon flanks the axis of self-worth, paying attention to finances as early in the week as possible would be a good start. While contracts can be signed on a full moon or payments completed, if a problem is brewing it is likely to come to a head, so get in there first should you know there are issues. On the other hand, this full moon may have a role to play in regard to your reputation or the way you are treated and valued by others. You’re either at a peak or at a low.
That full moon feeling.

The Month Ahead for Libra
May 2026
It’s not like you to withdraw into your shell, but sometimes being a people-pleaser is not just hard work but counter-productive. You need time and space to get to the bottom of a situation. For many Librans, that situation is money-shaped and more funds need to be found and/or a more favourable agreement made. For others, an affair of the heart is going through a difficult time. While you don’t want to lie down and let someone walk all over you, giving other people their sovereignty – allowing them to make the choice – is more likely to deliver a happy ending.

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.
