Libra Weekly Horoscope

Take things one step at a time this week, Libra. You may notice things feel a bit slow or quiet, especially as there won’t be any important alignments happening until Thursday, when the skies host a balancing Half Moon in Aries and your 7th House of Relationships, reminding you to touch base with the nearest and dearest in your life. Is there someone special who hasn’t been getting enough of your attention lately? If a relationship has hit the skids this could be just the thing to get it back to where it belongs, so don’t be scared of reaching out and bearing your soul. That being said, remember that there is a difference between reaching out and healing, and reaching out to rake something up that should stay where it is. Use your discretion.

They say no person is an island, and if you want to reap the benefits of your hard work that generally requires interacting with people and sharing your ideas and projects and everything you’ve ever toiled away at. You already put so much effort into these little babies of yours so why not carry them all the way and make sure everyone knows about them? Well, starting on the 18th, you need to be extra careful about who you let in on your projects. Mercury turns retrograde in Leo and your 11th House of Social Networks on this day, scrambling wires across both short and long distances until it turns direct again on August 11th. Before that shift, however, you might realize a few people you once believed were on Team Libra have been playing ball elsewhere; on the flipside, retrogrades encourage us to return to and revisit old projects and relationships, so maybe there is someone you’ve lost touch with who could make a welcomed return to your life.

The 18th will also feature a lovely sextile between Mercury and your ruler, Venus, currently dancing along through Gemini and your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure. This would be a wonderful time to broaden your horizons, and with Mercury in your communal sector, you may notice that your participation in a group or other joint-effort is the catalyst that helps you go further than ever before. That being said, with the messenger planet retrograde, don’t focus so much on building new bridges, but rather improve the ones you’ve already crossed, and maybe walk over them a few more times; you could discover something interesting you never noticed previously, so move with consideration and care. The results could be absolutely fabulous, but they won’t come easily if you attempt to rush ahead without planning out a proper destination for yourself.
