Libra Monthly Horoscope

Friends and Groups

Political party? Twitter? Theatre group? Charity? The area of your chart ruled by Leo is now action stations, but it’s action running backwards. You will need some strategies. This may be a football team or an online group like Substack. Friends are an integral part of the cycle, and Mars Retrograde in Leo in the Eleventh House indicates the potential for conflict. You will only ever act if you feel a situation is unjust, unfair or even illegal, Libra. Choose your battles with groups and friends carefully on this transit as it runs for months – not weeks, as it normally would.

Remembering Mars is about action, heat and conflict, understand its motion retrograde (or backwards) as follows:

* November 2024: Mars 0 to 5 Leo
* December 2024: Mars 6 to 2 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* January 2025: Mars 1 to 0 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* February 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* March 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* April 2025: Mars 0-5 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* May 2025: Mars 5 to 20 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* June 2025: Mars 21 to 29 Leo (Finishing the cycle)

You will see what one episode of Eastenders on rewind until June would normally be next year. Bearing that in mind, make sure you write the script very carefully this November 2024. If you have the luxury of putting off major plans with friends or groups (for example a coalition enterprise) until after Mars has corrected his motion, you may want to do that. If you can begin a new political party, at any time, you may want to think about the second half of 2025.

Do you have Aquarius natal chart factors? This entire episode with friends, social media like Substack, or a group is far more important. Real power is now in the space. From November, you will become aware of what you saw in 2023 and earlier in 2024 – higher stakes and bigger questions about who or what holds the reins. If so, use your Tarot, Garden Oracle and Astrology Oracle to guide you on this.

Town, Country, Home or Family

As you know, November is a sign-off with the family (perhaps just one or two relatives) and, likely, your house or apartment. Your local area or town may be another target for a sign-off or even your entire country. The household (flatmates, live-in partners) is another obvious area here. When Pluto finally, irrevocably leaves your home, family, property and country zone for the last time, you are rid of some of the biggest challenges you’ll ever know. You’ve had this transit since 2008. As this cycle is so central, I am going to quote from my book 2020 Vision (Penguin) to explain it better to you.

Let’s look at your lease, mortgage or property investment first. You need to become a DIY expert on all this for the very last time in November and December, so you can be thoroughly updated about everything from your legal situation with landlords, to the realities of hiring builders. Do build a plan that works and stick to it for the sign-off moment in November (phase one) and then up to December 7th (phase two).

How will you know if your sign-off strategy is sound? Firstly, it will have worked before – for other people. Secondly, it will be absolutely right for now. As I’ve mentioned, this can be about your council and town as much as your government and country. On a smaller scale, it can be about the apartment or house itself, as a metaphor for what is going on with family members or household members too.

Your relationship with your parents, your close relatives (anyone from sisters to uncles) and your own immediate family (your partner and children) needs attention as your famous ability to balance the scales is now central. The advice and insights of experts or those who have been there, done that, with their own families could be enormously helpful. This may be a legal matter.

There are some aspects of your family, household, hometown, homeland, house or apartment situation from 2008-2024 you would prefer to forget. Yet, they have made you stronger. Pluto empowers those who have the willpower. What has happened to you has been very difficult to bear. Perhaps this has been about your own country. Yet, as you sign off in two stages in the second half of November and first half of December, you will also realise that you are a formidable presence these days. Your self-respect and self-knowledge have transformed since 2008, purely as a result of your steely grip on your own reins. That never goes. Yet, you will welcome 2025 as a completely different year with the family, property, town and/or country. Pluto has well and truly left the building. Any manipulators, power-trippers or control freaks may also have gone, for whatever reason. This is a huge detox for you, Libra.
