Libra Weekly Horoscope

You’re an open book by nature, Libra, but starting this Saturday, you’ll be reminded that some things are best kept locked in the vault. Mindful Mercury makes its annual trek through sensual Taurus and your eighth house of seduction. Monitor your “outflow” for the next two weeks, keep your cards close to your chest, and consider tucking an ace up your sleeve. It’s not manipulative to cloak yourself in a veil of intrigue and mystery. It will serve you well between now and May 25. While you’re likely to be tapped as a sounding board for friends and colleagues, don’t feel obliged to respond in kind. Your ability to listen sympathetically yet keep things on the downlow makes you a formidable friend and demonstrates that you can be totally discreet. Not that anyone is necessarily putting you through a loyalty test! Of course, with analytical Mercury in this enigmatic realm, reading between the lines and picking up on subtle clues may be more revealing that what’s actually being said.

Single Libras will benefit from intentionally talking less and tuning in to the tacit—yet unmistakable—chemistry that’s simmering in the background. The slow reveal during this clandestine cycle will give things an extra-erotic charge. But beam your bewitching charms selectively unless you’re willing to risk breaking hearts throughout your friend zone. Couples may suddenly desire more private "just us time," which can get the pulses racing. Just stay alert for a cameo appearance of the emerald-eyed monster, who’s intent on stoking possessiveness and jealousy. The best preventative medicine for that is open and honest communication.
