Libra Monthly Horoscope

So many people, so many headaches! With combative Mars retrograding through your eleventh house of community and technology since December 6, you’ve probably had a love-hate relationship with all those “beautiful souls” you generally love to embrace. 

If you feel like taking a break from people-ing, then, by all means do so this January. Starting on the 6th, you’ll have bigger fish to fry—or maybe one really BIG fish. As Mars slips back into Cancer, it lends it motivating energy to your tenth house of career until April 18. The actual retrograde wages on until February 23, though, so if you’re going to bow out of any commitments, do so gracefully to avoid burning bridges. 

This Mars cycle could direct you to a master teacher or an apprenticeship with an industry heavyweight. Already climbed high up the ladder? Even the top dogs need support in staying focused and accountable. Working with an executive coach could be game-changing, helping you streamline your objectives and stay on point with the missing piece that's most meaningful for you. Until the retrograde peters out on February 23, you may have some sorting to do about "what I want to do with my life." 

Your relationship with an important man could hit the conflict zone—perhaps for the second time in recent months, since Mars already toured Cancer once from September 4 to November 3. This time, however, you won't feel quite so caught off guard. Remain proactive and solution-oriented, putting structures in place that can actually take your relationship to a healing place, not just putting a Band-Aid on it. If this person is worth having in your life, the work will be worth it.
