Libra Weekly Horoscope

You haven’t had the heart to take that tiara off your head since Halloween, and you may still be working the glitter eye shadow into your daily makeup repertoire. Bellisima…but alas, Libra, all good things must come to a (temporary) end. This Tuesday’s solar eclipse in Scorpio brings an electrifying jolt to your second house of financial foundations. You’ve maxed out on the bling, and now the stars are instructing you to tighten your belt, retool your budget and live a more fiscally responsible life. You may be suffering from “too much of a good thing” syndrome, or falling to the opposite extreme and depriving yourself so much that a spending binge is looming as an inevitability. This eclipse helps you find the financial balance again, even if it comes with a bit of a startling wake-up call.

If you’re on the hunt for new income streams, you could discover them near Tuesday. Eclipses illuminate shadows, and these ventures might be so obvious that you just overlooked them. If you’ve convinced yourself that you don’t need money to be happy, don’t forget that you need it for other reasons. Put more effort in at the job this week, as the eclipse could bring some important eyes on you. Aim to impress even if you think no one is watching. Some sweat-on-the-brow labor sends an important message to the universe: that you’re willing to work for the things you want in life.

Since this is a solar eclipse, which comes in conjunction with a new moon, you have the power to plant some pretty significant seeds this week. The harvest will occur next April 25, during a powerful lunar eclipse (full moon). Get thee to a networking event if you have no prospects on the horizon. The people you meet this week could light the path to abundance for you.

Messenger Mercury, which is in retrograde from November 6-26, inches back into Scorpio for the remainder of its reverse journey. Look to the past for fresh financial opportunities. Old bosses, coworkers and collaborators could be ready to give it another go. This retrograde phase is an ideal time for retooling your budget and finding ways to scale back on spending in order to open up more flow in other expense categories. You might cut off the cable or make your coffee at home in the interest of saving for that holiday trip to the tropics.

Are you truly dressed for success? Beyond having the perfect Donna Karan suit, your professional image may need an overhaul. Investing in sessions with a coach or consultant to help polish up your presentation could do wonders. You’ve got the clothing part down pat, but how does your resume read, and are you saying the right things to get people’s attention? Refining your marketing or message during this retrograde could lead to a slam-dunk in December.

On Saturday, energizer Mars moves into your home-and-family sector until December 25. You’re simultaneously psyched to see your familia and stressed at the idea of putting up with their too-familiar shenanigans. If you have a Thanksgiving visit booked, try to pre-empt any issues that could bubble up while the turkey is being carved. Discuss them beforehand, Libra, so you don’t explode in rage when your mother seats you at the children’s table or your sister starts bragging about her latest career coup and dismisses your accomplishments in the same breath.

You’ll be quite productive while at Chateau Libra during this six-week Mars phase. Set up your home office so that it’s comfortable and inviting. The work you do with women will be mega-inspiring now, and you may even hit on a business idea that targets the ladies.
