What truth do you wish to untangle? Mercury’s retreat is your guiding light into the realms of higher consciousness, but before we can understand truth, we need to get a handle on illusion. During the month of June, you have the ability to re-wire your belief system, discarding outmoded principles and outgrown truths. If you have been limited in any way by the conditioning of your religious upbringing this retrograde, along with Neptune’s retreat in Aquarius is a liberating energy that allows you to see hypocrisy and denial in a very illuminating fashion. You are moved to oneness but only after you have been shaken by the lack of it in the world around. Always the great peacekeeper, consider this time a critical one as you move beyond the duality and separation, fueled by orthodox religious dogma. Libras who are traveling this month should be prepared to deal with interruption and delay as gracefully as possible. In fact, not traveling at all might be in your best interests, so unless you have to, don’t push the river.

The new moon brings delicious possibilities into the lives of the children of Venus. The Tauran new moon gives them permission to traffic in an earthy brand of sensuality, which Libra normally reserves for the mind, where the essence of the sensual is articulated through rarified forms of language and communication. No Libra, the new moon wants you to dispense with the talk and get down to action. In addition to the bodily world of wonder that awaits you, you’ll also have something transcendent you’ll be able to articulate later when Mercury moves into cordial Gemini. Yes, you’ll have plenty of words to describe your contact with the most intimate parts of your self later on.

Jupiter’s upcoming backward dance is a time trip for you. Try to remember when you were between the ages of eleven and thirteen as your innocence gave way to experience and the rigors of being in this world. You can recapture some of that magic if you allow yourself, while restoring your faith in a benevolent universe. Take in an amusement park or play hooky for a day and do your best version of Ferris Bueller. Your inner cynical teen will thank you.

While Aries is all about Aries this month, you are all about finding a soul mate…at least for a night or two and perhaps for a lifetime. Well that’s how it always starts out for Libra anyway. They are always finding an aspect or two of themselves in some other, which is always a good excuse to kick start some relationship on some level. But this April is power packed and the call to be seen, recognized and responded to will never be greater than now for the rest of 2008. When the Libra full moon kicks in on the thirteenth, your emotions are on your sleeves, socks, ties, and under garments. You’re going for broke and laying it on the line for love during those two days of full-blown lunacy. It might go unrequited, but it might also anchor your next temporary soul mate for awhile as you use amore for the deep inner work of finding yourself through another in the days and months to come.

Mars is upping the ante for you Lib. Is it family or career? Can you handle the stress and the demand of both? March is prime for the final conflict to be played out on both fronts in your life. But before you drop your patented diplomacy and go pre-emptive in the work place, spend some quality time in meditation and sleep, pay close attention to your dreams and reveries as they are ripe with answers and clues as to how to balance the intensity of home and work. Keep a journal and work out your tensions in poetry and short fiction. You might be surprised by what comes through you.

Other astrological events for March 2008

Get out there Libra. Airfares are cheaper this time of year for most destinations and you would really benefit from a get-a-away, both from a therapeutic standpoint as well as an educational one. Go climb some mossy pyramid in a Central American jungle or at the very least, get into a yoga retreat for weekend or two. Right now your urge to learn hasn’t been this hungry in quite some time. Why not get out of your routine while you get into your higher mind? You love doing things with others and this time is no exception. Whatever you do, don’t do it alone. You’ll need a witness to the wonder that awaits.

Expect your home life to go through considerable change as Pluto settles into the area where your roots and safety net get transformed from the inside out. Home won’t just be a place to hang your hat anymore, but a psychic portal of deep transformation. Family issues will be your catalyst of change and you, more than any other sign will feel the crush of the mortgage and lending crisis deeper than most. Maybe you took out a second to spruce up your surroundings as any good Libra would do and now the bills are due. Your home and family will become a cauldron of change and play nice Libra will have to address the mess from childhood to the current state of their family affairs. Jupiter in Capricorn will however give you a good running start on those domestic issues and will allow you to address them in a state of grace. Indulge your elders and be kind as well. You’ll be one someday too.
