Your diplomatic skills in your most intimate relationships are being put to the test. You’re not one to give up, quit or throw in the towel when it comes to people you really love, but right now, many Libras are in a fight for their emotional lives with their lovers. What makes this period more challenging than others is the on/off, hot/cold, love/hate energy that’s running straight down the center of your heart. Think hot, make-up, sex, arguments, anger, frustration, etc. That’s what you’ve got going. It’s dramatic to say the least and while it makes you feel alive, it’s also hard on your nerves and we all know how much Libra likes peace and harmony.

What this period is really about is your ability to find balance in your self, not change others or feel like they have to give you more or less of what you think you need in order to feel seen, heard, wanted, recognized. We all need these things in order to have a sense that we’re alive on this planet, but for you, it’s crucial. Much of this a backlog, of you doing things for others, mediating and finding win wins whenever you can and what this energy is causing you to do is be a little, no, make that a lot more selfish than you like to see yourself.

Get clear now about who you want to party with, because during this time next month, you’ll want to roll in the hay, versus trying to find grass that’s greener. Mercury Retrograde is going to help you get clear about the big picture in your life. You might have to suffer an invalidation of a truth or two that you once held dear, but in the long run, you’ll be better off and wiser as a result.
