Mercury in Libra

The cosmic translator Mercury is now in Libra, and this brings fresh air into the exchange of ideas. Libra is an initiating cardinal sign, so new thoughts come in like a mighty wind. You've probably heard that "thoughts create reality." As Mercury moves through Libra, we'll see the airing of more perspectives, ones that have the potential to take hold. New visions come alive first in the mind, and when Mercury is in an air sign, ideas are tangible thought forms, the first step toward making it real. It's a great time to experiment with creative visualization. When working with others, before ideas are synthesized, tensions can run high. But diplomacy rules the day, and everybody gets a chance to be heard.

In Libra, Mercury's thoughts turn to beauty, art, elegant expression and social harmony. Collaboration, new creative plans, home beautification projects and the like are favored. Libra meets others with a built-in ability to walk that balance of listening and sharing. During this transit, it's easier to synchronize with your mate, child, friend, and other one-on-one relationships. Libra takes the edge off conversation, and makes people more receptive to a true exchange. Whether it's intimate conversations, or debates on the world stage, there can be more meeting of the minds now through October 24th.
