Libra Weekly Horoscope

Happily ever after not exactly happening at the moment? You could rethink a relationship this week, especially near Thursday, June 25 when structured Saturn in Aries fistbumps romantic Venus in Leo. Relax, Libra: This doesn’t have to spell “The End.” Under this dynamic fire trine you may expand your definition of love or be willing to stop fixating on someone’s “flaws.” Distract yourself from unhealthy thought patterns, especially the compare-and-despair trap where you try to align your relationship with society’s approval matrix. Make plans with people who live unabashedly by their own rules. Simply being in their presence will liberate you from your own internal scrutiny. It’s possible, however, that you do need to set ground rules in order to feel safe in a certain relationship. Talk those through with your wisest sounding boards on Thursday. With Mercury turning retrograde next Monday, June 29, you may decide you need a few weeks to process all your feelings before you even think about possible next steps or bring this up with the person in question. At the heart of the issue may lie something lodged in your subconscious that has more to do with YOUR past than any perceived infraction on the part of the person you’re projecting onto.

As much as you want to race ahead on plans like a Formula 1 driver, pump the brakes this Thursday, June 25. A disruptive square from hazy Neptune throws the Sun off its goal-focused game, which could lead to some misguided choices. People who promised to open doors may suddenly become uncooperative or unreliable. Make it as easy as possible for them to help you out, but don’t apply pressure. For the moment, you may have to accept the fact that some things are beyond even your control. Be mindful about who you spill your trade secrets to on this fraught day. A competitor could be lurking in the casual friend ranks and the last thing you need is for someone to become so “inspired” by your vision that they attempt to duplicate it for themselves. Wait until you’re further along with development before crowing to unvetted sources.

On Sunday, you won’t have time to ruminate for another second on what’s not working out as planned. There are broader horizons to explore as go-getter Mars ventures onto new turf: Gemini and your ninth house of travel and adventure, where it hasn’t paid a visit in two years. Until August 11, you’ll be chomping at the bit to stretch and grow, by any means possible! Hopefully you can get away, if only for a long weekend (but ideally a proper vacation). If you do take a trip, waste no time researching last-minute deals on flights and accommodations. Do so with care since Mercury WILL be retrograde from June 29 to July 23, a period where improper planning can go south quickly. Bear in mind that impulsive Mars likes being free to blow with the wind so you might want to push any free-spirited fun to the weeks between July 23 and August 11. If time or funds are too tight to get out of town, then sign up for a class or workshop close to home. The red planet here places a gust of entrepreneurial wind beneath your wings. Whatever you’re currently obsessed with might be something you could monetize with a little bit of training, Libra!
