Mercury's Leap to Libra

Holiday Mathis on

As humans, we agree on what a word means, and then we go rogue, twisting and breaking those agreements according to our own agendas, and elevating communication to a level of complexity befitting our cultural and personal aims. Mercury's leap into Libra lends itself to the sophisticated sort of elocution that means nothing and everything at the same time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To avoid unnecessary drama, you'll reveal your feelings only when it's relevant to the interaction. Until then, you'll keep your insides on the inside. This discreet approach puts your personal life in a comfortable place of quiet thriving.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll choose your words carefully because you understand their power to shape both your inner self and the world around you. Acknowledge the work you've done to get to this place of seamless alignment of thought, word and deed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Remember when you made a request of someone and they made themselves scarce? Use the tactic on those who are more present to you than you'd prefer. Lean into them and they just may lean out, affording you some relief.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This time, adventure's call comes from your inner world. Methods of introspection like journaling and meditation will bring you into the new dream. Dreaming is the broad strokes of planning.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Matching your message to the audience is an art. If you don't get it right, make an adjustment and try again. One tweak at a time works best because if you do too many at once, you won't know which ones worked.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Every shiny new plan, item or person you add to your life requires that you subtract something from another area. You'd rather settle costs consciously than make a mindless move you have to figure out later.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today features many good offerings. If you only take one, your life will be better than if you agreed to more. One will focus your interest, let you go deep into a subject and double your joy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). With financial and obligatory considerations in play, you can't exactly limit your pursuits to only the ones that excite you. Nonetheless, winning attitudes are made by finding or inventing reasons to be excited, instead of expecting life to serve it.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To try a thing once won't bring you nearly enough satisfaction or information. You'll only start to make headway after 10 times. If you decide to take it further, you could master the motion after doing it once a day for the next four weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your easygoing hospitality does more good in the world than you could possibly know. Warmth and compassion ward away the shadows. The overworked and underappreciated will see you as a soft place to land.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everyone wants to be completely right all of the time, and none will come close! To settle for being more or less correct some of the time is one thing. The truly wise give up the quest altogether and embrace three words: I don't know.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Like all the world's creatures, you are only trying to survive and thrive by whatever means seems most accessible to you. Today you'll find new points of leverage and power and, in doing so, gain a greater sense of control over your domain.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 26). For some, love is an intangible mystery. For you, it's a practical and apparent reality with hard evidence everywhere you look this year. What you give and do in the name of love will stand monumental, and you'll receive the same sort of substantial proof of the affections of others. More highlights: a journey over water, an induction to a family of sorts and a trophy for your team. Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 17, 30, 27 and 14.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Even nearly 90 years since his passing, the tunes of George Gershwin are performed all over the world on any day of the week. Case in point, the upcoming "Strictly Gershwin," which features several dance companies and vocalists bringing to life the glamour and unmistakable moves of 1920s Broadway. In his short life, the legendary Libran composer defined the American sound of his era. Gershwin's natal Sun and Jupiter were in artistic, aesthetic Libra with his Moon in musical Aquarius.
