This month there's a lighter, brighter more spontaneous vibration around. So there's likely to be opportunities to do the things you enjoy, or get into activities you find empowering and you can shine your light in your own unique way. It could even put you at the centre of attention at times, so all eyes on you!

Mercury is also in a very creative, area until midmonth which implies more entertainment to be had out of daily encounters. Overall, it may mean your creative juices are flowing and you are in an enterprising, enthusiastic mood. In general you'll have more access to activities you find empowering, and your inner child gets a chance to have some fun.

Or there may be more laughs and friendly sharing along the way and you might feel more valued. For some of you, there will be more focus upon children, animals or romantic partners. Admiring glances may be exchanged between you and someone. Also your mind may be weighing the pros and cons of taking a gamble of some kind.

From midmonth you will be keeping your eye on the ball more and maintaining a more practical, organized approach.

Until the 8th teamwork is highlighted and you'll probably be in a co-operative frame of mind wanting to be of practical help and co-ordinate with another's requirements. This could be centred around a friendship or other close relationship personal or professional. But also you are more likely to have good relations with health-providers, co-workers and anyone providing a service. Socializing or a even a romantic encounter could happen with someone in this type of environment.

From the 8th close relationships of all kinds should get a boost and you and someone could really hit it off or you find that you can do business together. It may be a close relationship that you value or through a co-operative alliance that you do better materially.

Mars is going to be in a background area for several months to come, activating what goes on behind the scenes and stimulating your unconscious, your imagination and your ability to manifest what you want. However you should be very protective of your energy and go in for things which nurture you as much as possible. Mars will be retrograde until April which lends an air of uncertainty or confusion to daily activities. The fog won't lift until April, until then just chug forward with caution. Don't spread yourself too thin with physical demands as your energy levels could be lower than usual and you should not expect too much of yourself. Whenever you can, chill out and let others take the strain. Some of the time you could be playing a supportive role for others over this transit, or you may be resting and recuperating some of the time. But however it is you should be firmer about taking the space for relaxing, healing, private activities whenever possible. Also an appropriate moment for some self-understanding, some self-awareness which may help you avoid emotional holes in the road in the future.

You could have strong dreams or visions at this time too, and this energy will underpin practices like yoga, meditation, psychic or healing, or indeed anything which absorbs you and takes you out of yourself like reading or even writing a page-turning novel. Emotions and some frustrations may be nearer the surface and knee jerk reactions become more likely though so this is something you should be aware of or better still face down the dragons and slay them. This will be a very long transit lasting until after mid 2012 so you have plenty of time to utilize this secret weapon from the background by understanding how your subconscious can create what you wish to come true in your future.

From the 19th the material/physical aspects of your life on earth will be highlighted and you will be co-operating or liaising in more practical, service orientated ways.

THE SLOWER MOVING PLANETS:
Until June, you will have a bountiful ally in Jupiter who will underpin influences which could give you a financial boost, or provide other helpful resources. It could translate as property, funding or equipment which is bought, sold, lent, or leased. Or you could do well with a contract or deal of some kind. This also could compute as more moral support and a feeling of more security within. So if you are looking to improve things in these areas, over the coming months would be a good time to do so.
Overall, you are taking your responsibilities to yourself and to life more seriously with Saturn in your sign until late 2012. You'll be feeling sober and cautious enough in your outlook to take whatever careful steps are necessary to lay the foundations for new conditions and ultimately, a happier, easier life. But nothing happens fast here. Saturn and Pluto will incline you to contour things in a way which mirrors more authentically where you are at your emotional roots. But you'll have to stick with it and navigate a few obstacles - some of which could be health related or connected to baggage from the past.

Over this long period, through your choices, you should be taking basic steps to build into your life those elements and practices which allow you to grow and flourish within the wellbeing, relationship, or place on the map which best mirrors this. Saturn rules TIME and small, careful steps are the only way to go with this vibration. However, the rewards can be huge if you keep the faith and hold the vision you wish to manifest, even though it feels difficult and slow at times. Those with 28-29 degrees Libra rising and those born 20th-23rd Oct will feel Saturn's influence most strongly this month.

Uranus will be transiting your opposite sign for many years. During that time, through partnerships and other close relationships, your life will be changing in ways which surprise even you. You will have to be flexible and open-minded as you adapt to a changing dynamic in working or personal relationships. You may have to be ultra-flexible from time to time but this is the spirit of revolution which facilitates your evolution and is part of a significant growth process even though people or the forces affecting humanity at large can be unpredictable or surprising. It's likely you will have a relationship with an unusual or talented person. Or more interaction with special groups who like to experience things off the beaten track. Librans born from the 23rd - 27th Sept or up to the first 5 degrees of Libra rising will feel this vibration most this month.

Neptune has been in Aquarius since 1998 meaning some uncertainty or confusion about romantic partners or children. Also having to sacrifice yourself because of a speculative or sporting or entertaining enterprise provided for others.

Neptune will leave here for good and slide into its home sign Pisces from 4th February. For you this may mean you will feel a pull to function from deeper, more altruistic or spiritual levels with your work. Some of you may become interested in Yoga, meditation and healing practices. Underlying this transit may be a search for oneness of being and connectedness with all life. Some of you could have psychic experiences or strange encounters which are esoteric in some way. This long transit of many years may have you giving more freely of your services or working in more charitable, healing ways whether on a grand scale or right in your own back yard. Librans born on the 21st - 22nd October or 23rd Sept, or those with Libra rising in the last degree or the first degree will feel this vibration most strongly this month.
Pluto's influence at the root of your chart will, over a number of years, bring major de-structuring and re-structuring at the foundations of your life and also to the dynamics in family relationships and community relationships during periods of its long transit. It will rehabilitate and renew you through your place on the map outwardly, but inwardly an emotional rebirth is in the pipe-line.

Librans born from 29th - 3rd/4th Oct or with 6-11 degrees of Libra rising will feel Pluto's vibration most this month.
