Libra Weekly Horoscope

All aboard for le voyage fantastique! This Wednesday, January 30, jet-setting Jupiter turns direct in Gemini and your ninth house of travel. Jupiter first entered Gemini last June 11, awakening your desire to get out and see the world. But on October 4, the jovial planet slipped into retrograde mode, keeping you closer to home than you would perhaps have preferred; or, if you did travel, the retrograde may have made your fall/winter journeys a bit more challenging than expected.

Well, Libra, get your passport out of the safe again. With Jupiter going full steam ahead in your ninth house until June 25, it’s time to plan a journey. There’s a corner of the world that’s calling to you, and it’s time to get out and explore. Bonus points if there’s an educational component involved: yoga-teacher training in Costa Rica or an Ayurvedic retreat in Goa, perhaps? You might also travel in the figurative sense, signing up for a mind-expanding course or degree program that renews your sense of purpose in the world.

Entrepreneurial ventures will be blessed by Jupiter’s bountiful beams. If you have an idea for a business, get moving, or expand your current venture to new territory. You could discover a prosperous market miles from your home base. Got a book in you? The ninth house also rules publishing, so shop around for a literary agent or take advantage of the incredible self-publishing tools that are available now. Who knows? Your e-book might just be picked by a bigger publishing house for its print edition. If it could work for the “Fifty Shades” series, well…

On Friday, February 1, turn on your love light! Your ruling planet, romantic Venus, moves into Aquarius and your passionate fifth house until February 25. Valentine’s Day starts early for you this year, Libra. Get back out on the dating scene and don’t linger too long in the online zone. A face-to-face encounter is what Venus desires. The sooner you screen them, the better! Take more initiative in the game of love, whether single or spoken for. You might be the one to plan the February 14 activities this year, Libra, so don’t just lie in repose waiting for someone to show up at your door with a dozen roses. You want drinks in the Rainbow Room or a weekend at a quaint B&B? Get on the horn and make those reservations, STAT.

With Venus in this glamorous position, you may be in the mood for some makeover magic. Work with your mane: A sexy bob or lowlights can give you a brand-new look. Also on Friday, go-getter Mars changes signs, moving into Pisces and your sixth house of healthy living through March 11. Ramp up that fitness routine—Mars likes a challenge. Jump into a Crossfit class, try an Insanity workout at home, book a few sessions with a trainer. Your work life could get quite busy—not to mention stressful—while Mars holds this position. All the more reason to burn it off with vigorous exercise. The next six weeks could see you getting in fabulous shape, all while you tackle an ambitious assignment and make a name for yourself.
