Mercury rules over how we communicate, how we connect to others and how we behave in our day-to-day interactions, particularly at work. Every time Mercury crosses over to a new sign, it becomes easier or harder to speak our truth, making plans and keeping secrets. We just finished a cycle of Mercury being in Virgo, turning retrograde and then direct again, teaching us to use the creative energies of chaos and reassess our habits.
On October 6, Mercury entered the zodiac sign of Libra, where it will stay until October 22. Mercury thrives in Libra: the airy sign may be ruled by Venus but their need to be liked and communicate optimally with everyone makes them take their words very seriously — and that will be the theme of this Mercury transit.
Read on to find out how Mercury in Libra will impact your daily life.
Aries
Don’t hold back from speaking your truth in your relationships and partnerships. Ask for what you need to be given.
Taurus
You need to prioritize your work goals to start achieving them. You can’t do everything at once. Be more methodical.
Gemini
Not every flirt or creative idea is worth your time. Identify the ones who are. Invest time in nurturing them.
Cancer
This is a good time for apartment hunting. Be specific in what you’re looking for, and ready to ask questions.
Leo
Contracts and legal matters are being resolved in your favor, as long as you are meticulous. Read the fine print.
Virgo
You need to manage your spending and be (even) more frugal. Find joy in things that don’t cost you money.
Libra
Your usual indecision needs to take a step back. Making decisions that honor your needs and values is crucial now.
Scorpio
Trust on your instincts, because not everyone around you may be telling the truth. Be prepared to stand your ground.
Sagittarius
Consider planning a trip, reconnecting with old friends, or ideally both. The timing is perfect now, don’t delay this further.
Capricorn
Showcase the best of yourself at work. Supervisors and new employers are looking at you. Keep shining, it’s your time!
Aquarius
A great time to start a new course, or apply for a Masters. Broadening your horizons will enrich your life.
Pisces
Be careful what you share on social media; assume people will take it the wrong way. Change your passwords often.
