Skywatch for the Week of Sept. 26 – Oct. 3

345

By Flo Higgins
Libra is the sixth sign of the Zodiac. It is a cardinal, air sign and gets along best with other air signs, Aquarius and Gemini.
Known for its need for balance and diplomacy, Libra is not a sign looking for an argument, although they do like a certain amount of friction and action.
They do not like any friction as the result of their activity, but they do well watching the results of someone else’s argument or activity.
Libra likes beautiful things, such as fancy art. They are very much in tune with money and all it can buy.
Libra is not one to make quick decisions. As a matter of fact, this Venus-ruled sign prefers to let others do the decision-making.
Diplomacy, charm and plenty of people, who are mostly best friends, make up the world of a Libra. They totally enjoy the calm of a single relationship and like living on the best block in town.
One of the main problems facing this sign would be their dislike of living – or even being – alone. Because of this, you often find a Libra involved in long-term relationships early in life and they stay, often when they should leave.
People born this week: Cindy Herron, Sept. 26, 1961; Gwyneth Paltrow, Sept. 27, 1972; Hilary Duff, Sept. 28, 1987; Jerry Lee Lewis, Sept. 29, 1935; Fran Drescher, Sept. 30, 1957; Jimmy Carter, Oct. 1, 1924; Kelly Ripa, Oct. 2, 1970; and Gwen Stefani, Oct. 3,1969.
Best day to accomplish some good works this week would be Monday, Sept. 29, from early afternoon until 11:30 p.m. After all, Mercury is about to go retrograde on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 1:02 p.m. So if you have contracts to sign, cars or houses to buy, get it done before Saturday the 4th. Mercury stays retro until Oct. 25 at 3:17 p.m. Reminder, there will be a lunar eclipse during the full moon on Oct. 8.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Push yourself to get projects done. After all, Mercury goes retrograde on Oct. 4 and on ,Oct. 8 there is an eclipse and full moon. So the time for action is now or you will be forced to move at the wrong time. Get some pals together and make the big move. The magic you will need to get what you want is now available.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) It might be time to realize that annoying incidents throw you off center and cost time and money. So try looking beyond any annoyance and get a new and fantastic relationship started. You need to polish up your act and get out on the town soon. You will make a connection before you can blink an eye.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Your new attitude will take you far and wide – if you just allow it to happen. An old love is still thinking of you in a loving way. If you feel the same, do something about it before Mercury goes retrograde on Saturday, Oct. 4. If you move on or look back, you will end up the winner in this familiar game you sometimes play.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) For the kind of future you want for yourself, you must start laying the groundwork early. So it is time to find your confidence and start forcing yourself to give up moods. Moon-ruled people need to understand moods cost money. They are a luxury you can’t afford. You are in a warm and wonderful spot right now.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) You are in a fine spot to go after exactly what you want. The celestial aspects are in your favor. Just know that Mercury goes retrograde on Oct. 4 so, if you don’t make a move before that, you might want to wait. An opportunity you can’t ignore is headed your way so welcome it with open arms.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) With Neptune hanging around your sun sign, you need to be careful of unsound schemes involving money. Do not allow any projects to start without reading the contract slowly before signing your name. Otherwise, you will be caught off guard and you will be the one who suffers at the hands of fate.
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) As your birthday approaches, you might want to maintain your relationship goals and smile while you are doing it. Your latest project outside of the relationship will expand as you continue to pound away at it. Remember, love is never lost on you or your soul mate. Your hard work is starting to pay off.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) As Mars moves off and life calms down around you, try listening to your intuition. You often know things before anyone else. With this in mind, try following your inner voice once in a while and you will find yourself a winner. No more following others. Be smart and take over as No. 1.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) It is natural to feel some anxiety now that Mars is in Sagittarius. Mars stirs up the emotions and often creates problems where there are none. Finding fault or starting an argument over nonsense is a Mars thing. So watch or you will find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place for new reason.
Capricorn Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) This is a week to continue your good behavior. If that is not possible, make it possible. You are stronger, smarter and more energy packed than most people. So it can be done. People are watching how you act; they are admiring you. If you fall off the wagon, many will be disappointed and you will have to start all over again.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) The more people of influence you share with, the better off your new agenda will look. Some friends may want more than you can give, but it is up to you to set boundaries and stick to them. A new love could peek in at the most unexpected time. Try and accommodate the love part. It will warm your heart.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) Take time out of your creative life to support and enjoy some old pals. They will perk your enthusiasm more than you know. So give some time to helping them with their endeavor and it will pay off well in the long run. A new look is just what you need now.
