September 2022: Monthly Horoscope: Libra
It’s Virgo season until September 22
Ease into early fall as gently as you need, Libra. While others are caught up in the excitement of "back-to-school," you may be more tired or sensitive for the first three weeks of the month. The Sun is in Virgo and your twelfth house of rest, closure and healing until September 22, which could make you feel foggy at moments. You'll also soak up other people's emotions and moods like a sponge. Protect yourself by limiting contact with draining people who demand constant attention.
Mercury is retrograde from September 9 to October 2
Not so fast, Libra! On top of Virgo season slowing your roll, there’s another cosmic obstacle to work around. Communicator Mercury turns retrograde (http://www.astrostyle.com/mercury-retrograde) from September 9 until October 2, which can disrupt communication, travel and technology. Even tougher? For the first two weeks (until September 23), Mercury will reverse through YOUR sign, making you feel invisible and misunderstood.
A passion project or personal plan could get delayed, and if that happens, don’t fight it. Use the extra time to perfect your vision! Watch what you post and say now because your remarks could be taken WAY out of context. Argh! You might need to lay low—or apply strong filters—while this cycle plays itself out. On the upside, you can dust off a creative venture that got put on the back burner. Spend time reviewing your goals and plans. If you need to polish up your presentation, do so now. From training to new headshots to rebranding, this is a great time to tweak behind the scenes.
Starting September 23—right as Libra season fully begins—Mercury will plunge back into Virgo and your twelfth house of hidden information, closure and healing. You may need to retrace your steps or process an old wound or some unresolved emotions. An ex or a difficult person might resurface, and this can be an important time for closure. A project you assumed was done might have a gnarly round of revisions that could be time-consuming. Try to make tasks like this less frustrating by playing music, taking replenishing breaks and adopting a spirit of "we're in this together" camaraderie.
Spotlight on health at the September 10 Pisces full moon
Okay, so there’s ONE day this month where you can really pull your act together, Libra. That happens as the September 10 full moon blooms in Pisces and your sixth house of health and order. Are you current on all of your checkups? Basic as it might sound, if you're past due for a physical, book it now. You could be low on iron or other vital nutrients, for example. The sixth house rules gut health, and with the full moon here, it might be time for a cleanse or to add a probiotic to your diet. Check with your doc on all of the essentials!
The sixth house also rules helpful people, so this full moon is an ideal time to examine who's on Team Libra and whether they're pulling their weight. Do you even have anyone helping you? There could be some hiring (or firing) near this date. Delegate and outsource the stuff that's got you overwhelmed. Just be sure you thoroughly vet any service providers, checking references and reviews and not glossing over red flags.
Libra season starts September 22, plus the September 25 Libra new moon
Just in the nick of time, Libra season begins! On September 22, the Sun sails into your sign for a month, waking you up and restoring your joie de vivre. Much of that mental fog will clear up, and you'll be ready to act decisively.
Your best day to take a concrete step? The September 25 Libra new moon, your annual "personal new year." It's a day to set intentions for the coming six months. What top-level goal would you like to achieve before 2022 closes out? Connect and commit to that today—these me-first moonbeams have your back!
Don’t forget the people who helped you get there, Libra. This new moon will oppose Jupiter in Aries and your partnership house, a reminder to acknowledge your steadfast supporters. At the same time, watch out for “coat-tail jockeys” who try to take credit for your work. You may need to renegotiate a few aspects of a relationship before you can move ahead on your solo mission.
