We’re poised between the seasons. Earth’s equator hovers closest to the Sun, northern and southern hemispheres get equal amounts of Sunshine as the Sun enters Libra early this Saturday morning.

The autumnal equinox brings a moment of balance, it can open doorways and brings a time of flow as the Sun steps from Virgo, into Libra. Some work that has been clogged or in a holding pattern for months now rolls forward. Venus and Mercury, which were retrograde much of this summer, are now both direct; by the beginning of next week, they will both will be out of the shadow, past the point where they first turned retrograde, and life’s momentum picks up. This week we will still be clearing the misunderstandings, delays, misconceptions, wrong orders, hidden problems, but most of those thin out as the week goes by.

There’s lots of work to be done but our social milieu may be most important this week as Venus in Leo trines Mars in Libra under that Libra Sun. We could be a little too restless to stay locked in our office, but these sociable planets can help make new friends in college and school, help us see potential in a new relationship or add sparks to an old one. They add panache to the search for social justice. Stay in the moment and nurture those sparks rather than douse them with expectations and put the fire out.
