As of Friday, Mercury leaves Virgo for Libra. Usually a quick transit, due to last month’s retrograde, Mercury has tenanted Virgo since the end of July. If your chart has been targeted, you’ve been hard hit with added stress and problems. If it has been a productive transit, you’ve sorted through, healed, or solved plenty. Perhaps you’ve experienced a mix of both.

Mercury in Libra, the balancing-act sign, brings a much different feel. For the next two-ish weeks, Mercury hits the swings with the sun and Jupiter. There’s more emphasis on the people rather than the things. It’s a social, accommodating, receptive, and relatively easygoing placement for Mercury. Communication tends to run smoother. Connectivity, cooperation, and common ground are more easily established. The general atmosphere favours diplomacy, alliances, justice, and more harmony. At least, that’s the case over most of this next week.

Also on Friday, sun/Pluto are on a momentum shift. It’s a good lead-in for our Thanksgiving long weekend. Saturday’s Capricorn moon keeps a good handle on the day. Sunday has less going for it than Thanksgiving Monday, but it is still all good. Monday/Tuesday, the Aquarius moon makes for a social, upbeat, and on-the-go day or two. Conversation and stimulation stay lively. On Tuesday, Mercury teams with Jupiter while Mars/Neptune are also open to suggestion. It’s a good day to engage in talks, to conjure and consider options. Wednesday is good for romance, spiritual replenishment, or catching up on sleep. The important stuff can wait for another day.

Aries
March 20 - April 20

For the next few weeks, Mercury in Libra boosts social prospects. This transit can also occupy you with legal or contract matters. Friday is a switch-track day. Saturday is as productive as you make it. Sunday/Monday, in the moment is the best way to play it. Monday/Tuesday are optimum for creativity, romance, and expressing how you feel. Wednesday simply evaporates.

Taurus
April 20 - May 21

Jupiter and the sun are already tenanting Libra, and as of Friday, Mercury joins them. While all three can enhance job prospects, health matters, and relationships with folks that populate your day-to-day, they also increase attention on imbalances that need to be corrected. Friday/Saturday loans you better self-control. Sunday through next Tuesday are ideal for trying something new on for size.

Gemini
May 20 - June 20

While there’s really no getting away from the busyness of life, you are likely to feel an ease-up as Mercury advances into Libra. Relationships with family members and lovers can hit an upswing. The start of this long weekend can keep you busy with personal priorities or duty’s call, but overall, it’s all good. Monday/Tuesday provides a fresh-air boost.

Cancer
June 21 - July 22

Don’t let the added pressure get to you. Worry is unproductive. Action can kick-start something good. Now through mid next week, the stars launch you on an information-gathering and problem-solving mission. Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday are your best days to reach out, apply, investigate, share your thoughts, broach a conversation, or try something fresh.

Leo
July 22 - August 23

You’ll get even more out of your conversations, visits, and reading thanks to Mercury’s advance into Libra. Contract negotiations, legal dealings, studies, and paperwork matters can hit a faster move-along, too. Saturday, get it done and out of the way. Monday/Tuesday, synchronicity is at play. You could hear or run across something that hits the target well.

Virgo
August 23 - September 23

Mercury leaves your sign on Friday but you are likely to feel it more like a plus than a minus. Along with the sun and Jupiter in Libra, Mercury will help you to better reconcile with yourself and to create better inroads with others, too. Saturday through Tuesday, you’ll get pleasure and good value out of conversations, activities, and creative projects.

Libra
September 23 - October 23

Thanks to Jupiter and the sun in Libra, your physical activity, social involvements, confidence level, and ability to attract are on the upswing. As of Friday, Mercury also tops you up with fresh fuel. Monday/Tuesday are particularly smooth-running. Relationships, activities, and communications maintain an easy flow. Someone or something brand-new could grab your attention. Wednesday comes and it goes.

Scorpio
October 23 - November 22

As of Friday, Mercury leaves your social sector to dip into the background for a short while. It’s an appropriate influence for tending to private matters. Gift yourself with more time to get a better feel, to study, reflect, or create. Saturday, the job’s done well. Sunday through Tuesday, refreshment and good ideas are easy to come by. Wednesday, go with the flow.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

Mercury will spend the next few weeks stimulating your income and social life. Fresh ideas and interests are worth pursuing. You never know where a conversation or look-see can lead. Thanks to Mercury aligned with Jupiter, Monday/Tuesday gives you a lot more to think about or to aim for. These are good days for travel or for putting yourself out there.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

More sharing, cooperation, and pooling of resources and responsibility is the aim of Mercury’s advance into Libra, starting Friday. Saturday, take charge; put it into drive and reap the reward. Sunday through Tuesday, your people connections are optimized. Mercury, the sun, and Jupiter also put a major purchase, bank loan, or professional contract into full swing.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, a long weekend can certainly be put to good use. Libra month is always one of your best for socializing, travel, and exploring new relationships or financial potentials. Friday/Saturday, tend to what’s required. Sunday through Sunday, the Aquarius moon keeps you and synchronicity on great perk-me-up.

Pisces
February 18 - March 19

Friday brings a change of plans, mind, or momentum. Saturday, you’ll get plenty accomplished. Sunday, spontaneity delivers best. Mercury, the sun, and Jupiter in Libra enhance financial prospects and intimate or close relationships. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Monday/Tuesday, dive into it fresh. Wednesday, go by feel.
