Libra Horoscope for September 2016

This is an important month of profound yet subtle change, Libra. Things are not quite what they seem, so that a stealth proclivity for reinventing yourself flies under the radar and eventually wins the day without you really knowing how that happened. The relationship factor is an extremely interesting and variable one for you now, and is linked with your own self-development; your worldview too is altering as you mull over the recent events of your life. With Venus now in your sign, you are coming into yourself in a new way, feeling fundamentally renewed. Regarding your well being, you are constructively taking inner priorities as fully necessary as outer. A sense of mission that is tied up with important partners leads you into new territory of soul intention that has been hibernating there inside yourself, all along, waiting for this chance to come out.

As the month begins, you are reflecting upon the effects of the very powerful New Moon and Solar Eclipse that has taken place, in the early hours of September, in the sector of your chart representing your unconscious process. This echoes the equally introspective nature of this month in general, because the current Mercury Retrograde implies that, for you, there is an unusual degree of emphasis on exploring your own inner world more fully. This results in changes to the way that you experience these somewhat hazy and mystically displaced parts of yourself. Your dreams are important now, and you do well to write them down. Modern psychology has determined the importance of your unconscious for day-to-day activities, although popular understanding has lagged behind, except in terms of Eastern philosophy. This month, you are getting the chance to experiment with this vital subject matter. As you experience the effects of your inner world upon your outer, you come to a much better understanding of yourself at the deeper layers of your psyche, and for the ways that internal desires accord or conflict with what you are pursuing out in the world of schedules and consequences.

As the month continues to unfold, it is also likely that partners will help in bringing insights to implement thinking along the lines of the way that you are matching up what you do in the world into better alignment with your most deeply held values and desires.

In contrast with the foregoing, and in the midst of a paradoxical month, the more obvious surface realm of events and outcomes is also signaled for additional emphasis. The strong presence of Venus in your sign, its own, signifies outer preoccupation plus identity development of a unique kind that is based on the social experience of personal interaction with others around you. This basic dichotomy between outer and inner is reflected also in the emphasis now on physical-world Saturn versus numinous and hidden Neptune, symbolizing in its own right the universe of dream, imagination, and inner process. This affects among other things the way that you currently view relationship; you may alternate between a limited and practical approach and a brand of starry-eyed idealism that borders on illusion. The careful position to take is one of compromise, especially as you include the concept of what additionally makes the most practical sense. The nature of the human soul is paradox, so that it might indeed be a mistake to come down too firmly on any one side of this complex and jumbled equation. You win when you are the most flexible in accepting the contrAries of your own nature, allowing each part to express itself more fully.
