In a recent situation involving another, you had a chance to think of yourself first, of your own needs first, and I hope you took it. Many of you did. Especially if it involved your home and / or work space, which is very important to you. Healthy boundaries are crucial now, and this is part of your necessary transformation this month. This should be in every Libra Finishing School:
You’ve experienced – in the most miserable of ways – that being passive Libra is no longer the way to go. Jupiter in your sixth house is like having your very own guardian angel. One who gives you wings, who allows you to fly as you wouldn’t normally, who encourages you to say it as you see it. It helps to see that life is not a popularity contest and that, even if it were, giving your power to others is not the way to make anyone like you. Painful, that. The operation which opens our eyes usually is.
I don’t believe in such things, but, if I did, I’d say you’ve been under a spell – or curse – of major proportions. It’s like you’ve been miscast in an ULTRA weird episode of The Twilight Zone: what did you do to get here, and how do you get out? The good news is – you do get out. You come out stronger, wiser, determined to protect yourself, and to never let this crap happen again.
I can tell you why, I can tell you all of it.
Brilliant psychologist Carl Jung, Libra Jupiter, famously said: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
This is really, Libra, on the most profound level, about taking responsibility for yourself, for all of your actions, for seeing and acting on reality rather than some idea in your head, for respecting karma in the way the good witches do: believing in the power of three. Whatever you do comes back to you threefold.
Yes, you are that powerful. Accept it. Embrace it. Take responsibility for it.
This accounts for why some people around you have been freaking out and reacting against you. Even when you’ve tried to help them. This unhappy state of affairs is also here to teach you to not take things or people so personally, to not be co-dependent in any way, any longer. People are usually acting out their own dramas – and they can do it very well all by themselves, thank you very much! Leave them to it. Get on with living your own life.
But speaking of fate, the lunar nodes have switched signs (as of January 18), and the north node (your destiny) in Taurus is now hitting your eighth house. I smell a new financial deal in the air. A new financial arrangement is ahead, with money coming in very suddenly and unexpectedly.
Then this month is meant to be very creative. And quite romantic.
For in your fifth house you have:
Life-saving Sun
Planet of rational thought Mercury, in and out of retrograde
Wise, karmic Saturn
And a friendly new Aquarius Moon Monday, January 31, bringing a brand-new offer, plus or minus 3 days
Single Libra, you can expect a new lover to pop up at this time. All Libras, single and attached, are being called to participate in the world more, to perform more, and to show your love more truthfully. Love connections are already revealing good promise of this. The long chill some of you have felt for and from some loved ones is finally lifting. You have healthy needs which need to be fulfilled. Single Libra, you need to fall in love. Attached Libra, you also need to be in love.
Your fifth house, traditionally ruled by confident Leo, rules:
Conception – of a baby, an idea, business plan, masterpiece
Romance
Creativity
True love
Children
Your own inner child
Performing
Fun
Parties
Risk-taking
Feeling beautiful or handsome
Dressing up
Going out
Playing
Creatives, get recording – write down everything, all your ideas!
At the same time, a personal past is intruding. Are you reminiscing about times gone by? You have lost some friends and you have had some harsh criticisms of you. Libra Jupiter playwright David Henry Hwang (born Leo Sun, Libra Jupiter on August 11, 1957) wisely wrote: Happiness is so rare, the mind does somersaults to protect it.
You have been turning a few somersaults yourself. Even though you will be re-creating your role in life and re-birthing old past parts of you, and that is challenging, everyday reality will generally go easier. Including finances.
A dramatic full moon in Leo occurs Wednesday, February 16 in your eleventh house. Ooh-la-la!! Respect from professional colleagues arrives, and a real offer of help. This brings a great feeling of relief. It’s the kind of relief you feel when a heavy decision is taken out of your hands. And this relief is guilt-free.
Your work load has been too much, and you have grown tired. But protective Jupiter – your guardian angel – is still working behind the scenes. And with a certain project, you must stay focused and resolute, for you are about to achieve your objective. Stay steady. Just concentrate on making your impact. This could be your moment. The arrow is pointed straight at the target. Your eye is keen, your grip is firm. Let that arrow fly! Set aside distractions, and hit your mark, Libra.
And you will have a beautiful Valentine’s Day. No pressure there. You will finally be letting go…

I heard . . . oh voiceless trees
Under the wind, I knew
The eager terrible spring
Hidden in you.
– February by Sara Teasdale (Leo-born poet – with her Mars and North Node in Libra – who won the Pulitzer in 1918.)
