Libra Weekly Horoscope

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so up the ante on your self-care this week. The Pisces moon joins forces with three planets in your sixth house of healthy living until Wednesday the 13th, activating the wellness warrior in you. Keeping your immune system strong can spare you from this winter’s record-high cases of flu and norovirus (or at least another round of it). Are you getting adequate sleep, eating nourishing food, washing your hands regularly after being in public places?

Beyond these basics, indulge in some pampering to reduce stress. Squeeze in a few hours at the spa one evening, alternating between the steam room, sauna and cold plunge pool. Book a massage or a session with an acupuncturist who also specializes in Chinese herbal medicine. Those natural remedies are right up your holistic alley, Libra; you might even do a three-day juice cleanse if you’re in the mood to reboot your system.

In between those seaweed mud wraps and wheatgrass shots, don’t forget to plan your Valentine’s Day! Your work life will be quite busy in the early part of the week thanks to the quartet of planets in your sixth house, and you'll have to squeeze in time to research a restaurant or buy a pair of tickets to that “Moonlight and Music” concert. Don’t wait until the last minute, when everything is sold out!

This Valentine’s Day, the moon will be in Aries and your seventh house of romantic relationships. And love planet Venus (your celestial ruler) is cruising through Aquarius and your fifth house of passion and amore. If you start the day single, you may not end it that way. We implore you to dress up and join those other lonely hearts in their hunt for love. Every pot has a lid, Libra, and you might just find your “other half” on this Hallmark holiday.

In a relationship? Cancel plans to cook an aphrodisiac tasting menu at home. The moon-Venus angle makes this a see-and-be-seen Valentine’s Day for you. Parade your date around like arm candy, share your magic moments in the heart of the action (perhaps a horse-and-carriage ride?) and have it all documented in photos. Hey, you didn’t spend all that money to get your hair and nails done just so no one would see you! We wouldn’t be surprised to find that many a previously bare Libra finger has a ring on it by the time St. Valentine exits the building.

But alas, it’s back to work mode this weekend, when a Mars-Saturn trine puts you in an industrious mood. Put on the project manager’s chapeau and get down to business. You’ll finally have the mojo to organize your shelving system, balance your books or get your resume polished up for that upcoming interview. Break daunting tasks down into smaller steps and start checking them off one by one. You’ll reach the finish line before you know it!
