LIBRA 23 SEP - 23 OCT

Libra Year
2003 OVERVIEW:
January may feel
challenging, but you refuse to let an air of restriction deflate your positive
mood. Starting on the 18th, you see this as a time of germination and
incubation. When Saturn goes direct on February 7th, you profit from apparent
hardship. An intellectual grasp reaches deeper, pulling your emotions into
line. As the month ends, you trust your newfound power almost too much.
Confidence is no substitute for skill. Influence a stubborn world through your
actions, not news of your perceptions.
When the Sun comes to Aries on March 21st, you're in an all-or-nothing phase. As the Sign of balance, you don't do well in extreme conditions. Driven people easily vanquish you in battles of will. Compromise and coexistence are more real from late April through mid-May. By the 22nd, there's a place for your self-assurance as circumstances shift boundaries and open new horizons. Change is less daunting. Good ideas seem electric and immediate when Mercury goes direct on June 8th. Keep one foot on the ground. It's still too early for flights of fancy.
The Sun in Cancer on the 22nd and a Lunar Eclipse on the 24th bring you to a screeching halt. Feelings are central, no matter how trivial. You might actually miss some of the restrictions under which you began this year. Improvement begins late in July as someone minimizes your burden by sharing it. Kind strangers stick around to become friends. With help like this, you're free to spend the rest of your Summer patching leaks and assimilating what you should already know. Pierce the illusions that stand between you and the heart of the matter.
Autumn is unquestionably your best season. The Sun passes through your Sign between September 24th and October 24th. Your considerate nature lets you rule the world -- or at least the part that sees eye to eye with you -- with comfort and pride. An element of discord creeps in as the outer planets assert more control around Halloween, but you can work with this. You're utterly sure about good things that happen after November 19th. It doesn't matter who else you convince. As Jupiter retrogrades on December 4th, though, you've clearly hooked up with something bigger and more powerful that you. The sooner you give up your attempts to control, the easier your holiday season and year's end will be.
