Libra Rising Forecast July 23, 2017- August 7, 2017

Libra Rising

You’re reaching a critical new start with a vision for your life. You may find that this energy is leading you to make some new connections that could help you attain that vision successfully. Keep your eyes open for casual encounters with people who can get you excited and motivated about the future. It’s often said that those who accomplish great things need to really visualize themselves actually doing it. Without that vision, we can’t make much happen in life. For you, it’s important that you reach out, beyond yourself, to find help and assistance in formulating a strategy that can get you to where you want to go next. You may also find that a close friend or even a partner has a unique perspective to offer you that can greatly catalyze forward movement. Your current dream will take a dramatic turn by the solar eclipse on Aug 21, requiring some proactive brainstorming right now, but open yourself to the possibility that you needn’t do it all by yourself. Help is available if you ask for it.

Life feels overwhelming when faced with things outside of your control. Understanding yourself is key to finding your power and place in the world. While you can't control fate or the chaos of life, your destiny belongs to you, something you can always strive for to gain command of your life path.

Mars will be in Leo from July 21 through Sept 6. This gives you extra energy for social interaction, networking, and making the right connections for future success. Consider that you need some help until Mars shifts into Virgo after Sept 6. While it would benefit you to let others call some shots, you still need to make the effort to mingle, send out those resumes, or make important phone calls. The Sun conjoins Mars on July 26 creating a peak buildup of energy with a friend or partner. This could result in vented frustrations and expressed anger, though you should let others sort themselves out.

The days surrounding July 24 could present some shocking or mind-expanding perceptions from a partner, friend, or associate. While you are certainly justified in remaining practical in your outlook, you could use a fresh viewpoint to liven up your perspective. Conversely, you could help others stick to the facts with practical advice and feedback.

On July 25 Mercury will begin a lengthy stay in Virgo this year due its retrograde cycle. This could be a challenging cycle, especially if you choose to ignore certain realities brewing behind the scenes. To best work with this cycle, you may have to give up some things that are blocking clarity and your higher purpose. This process begins Aug 13 which will help you to step back and uncover what’s messing with your attitude and clouding your perception.

July 30 is a good day to try something new and adventurous with a friend or committed partner. Spice things up and venture into new territory together.

Mercury will move back into Leo Sept 1, placing the spotlight back on networking, goal-setting, and future planning. Consider that whatever major changes or breakthroughs activated by the solar eclipse on Aug 21 will gain their most notable influence around Sept 3 through 5 with Mercury and Mars’ conjunction on the eclipse point. Expect a notable transformation of your life path and vision around then.

Mercury re-enters Virgo Sept 11 through Oct 1, which will help you give voice to feelings that your weren't fully conscious of before.

From July 31 until Aug 27 you’ll be in a brief cycle which will enhance your ability to make professional contacts and connections as well as an opportunity to patch up and soften your reputation. This could be a fortunate period for advancement, opening up pathways to future success.

The days surrounding Aug 2 could relate to unexpected changes in a relationship, friendship, or professional association. Think about what you need to change within yourself to accommodate new shifts in another. You may need to experiment with a new approach in relating to others.

On Aug 4 you may find that a new level of confidence in asserting your will comes into conflict with family, creating tensions in your domestic life. Try not to force your will too strongly so you can avoid unnecessary drama and confrontation. If you see something that needs to be dealt with, do so gently and you’ll find that those close to you can better process your truth.
