This Week's Rare Transit Could Usher In Miracles, Astrologers Predict

Fairness and equity are the name of the game, but how do we actually define these ideals? This could be a hotly contested topic starting Monday. With pivotal court cases threatening constitutional rights, there's no better way to use this backspin than to remobilize for the cause. Write letters, sign petitions, call representatives, organize donations, march. Peaceful protests are the name of Libra's game, but with Mercury in reverse, it's equally important to prepare a good (self-) defense. Feuding with trolls is not just a distraction; it's a detour from doing what might actually make a difference. Keep the endgame in your crosshairs, and let that focus be your guide.

On a personal note, Mercury's retreat through Libra, the sign of romantic partnership, could get people wistful for "the one that got away." But easy does it! Hindsight won't be 20/20 while Mercury's in reverse until October 18. Glossing over problems practically guarantees that they'll be back to haunt again. Don't kid yourself into thinking that you can "work on a friendship" with someone who shredded your ego, your heart (or both).

On Wednesday, the radiant planet forms a harmonizing trine (120-degree angle) to enchanted Neptune in Pisces. When these two planets sync up twice every year, life just feels magical, glamorous, and filled with possibility. With this wide-eyed wonder, you may drop your guard and attract exciting opportunities into your orbit. But don’t throw all caution to the wind.

As they tangle in a confusing 90-degree square, indulgent desires can sweep away common sense. Venus is the planetary partier, and Jupiter just wants more...and more and more. No matter how and where they mash up, when these two get together, they're out to have a good time. As willpower flies out the window—along with budgets and common sense—this gravity-defying cosmic combo can lead to excess. But it can also bring a whole lot of fun.
