MERCURY ENTERS LIBRA:
On Saturday September 5th at 3:46 P.M. EDT until Sunday September 27th at 3:41 A.M. EDT Mercury will sit in this cardinal air sign. Libra is known for its passive-aggressive nature. It doesn’t like direct conflict and will go to great lengths to avoid it. It is seeking balance and commonality in its indirect fashion. But it isn’t really a submissive or compliant energy and can often get its way through a less than direct action, circumventing the obvious approach in favor of a backstreet deal. That is the best way to handle our communications while this planet is traveling here. Libra rules most intimate relationships of all sorts, so you can expect that there will be a lot of “relationship talks” going on this month. (I know, sigh, who needs it?) There’s a point to what we experience, and hashing out what is going on between you and another is sometimes necessary to clear the air and allow for more growth. Try not to be stubborn or avoid these talks. But remember that Libra won’t usually just come out and say what’s on its mind. It will hem and haw and beat around the bush. I’ve had phone calls with some of my Libra-ish friends that go on for 90 minutes talking about the weather, your dog, Donald Trump and all sorts of innocuous subjects, and just as we are about to hang up that person will say what’s really on their mind and the actual purpose of the conversation. Shrinks call it “doorknob therapy”. You may call it a pain in the ass. But in any case, it will eventually bring out what’s most important, so pay attention and let the conversation go where it may.
