Read your horoscope for Mercury in Libra
Small talk, big wins
As Mercury flits through Libra from September 26th to October 13th, our diplomacy and tact get dialed in. In this cardinal air sign, the planet of communication is more than happy to adjust its tone and finesse its delivery. It can pinpoint just the right emojis and punctuation marks to make a message more friendly than frosty, and it always knows how to ask a probing question without overstepping. Since Libra excels at holding two opposed ideas at the same time, Mercury will be able to dance gracefully between life’s contradictions in the coming weeks — and to play emergency mediator when needed.
But don’t let the charm, delicacy, and elegance fool you. In the sign of the scales, the messenger planet is a razor-sharp negotiator who can harmonize conflicting perspectives and craft a triumphant argument that’s polished and humane. In matters of justice and equality, we’ll be ready to brandish the proverbial sword of truth in the face of corruption, lies, and abuses of power. But we’ll also benefit from Libra’s fascination with what makes people tick, from our latest viral trends to our deepest psychological drives. Mercury in Libra may have a reputation for persuasive self-expression, but active listening is the true ace up its sleeve. By embracing this transit’s crash course in empathy, you’ll have an edge when it’s time for a meeting of minds — and hearts.
