Problems may center around mechanical objects, cars, and electricity. If you must deal with these thing, be extra careful and don’t do anything on the spur of the moment and/or don’t try to do the work of a professional.   In other words, if your car breaks down or there are electrical issues in your environment, it is best to pay for an expert in these areas and not trying to do things yourself.  Expect possible problems or disruptions with cars, traffic, machines, and electricity around this time.

In Astrology, Libra is considered the sign where the Sun falls however this does not mean it is a weak sign.  The cardinal modality strengthens it and the Venusian qualities make Libra a very amicable, strong, active, and pleasure-seeking sign.  Libra people are very charming, artistic but tough.  Librans are concerned with balance, fairness, art, music, beauty, partnerships, and equality.

When the Sun enters Libra, astrologers read the chart (called a Libra Ingress Chart) and predict what will happen in the world for the next six months.

There may be some difficult decisions to make now as some people may face some sort of disappointment.  Problems with communications and traveling may also occur.  Being patient with any conversations of plans is advisable as it could become strenuous around this time.

Thinking may be serious, methodical and profound but also may tend towards pessimism or depression.  This is not a good time for thinking optimistically about any opportunities but it is a positive time to thoroughly analyze plans to determine any faults.  Being aware that one may err on the side of negative thinking and waiting until a later time to start a new venture is advised.

This is not an auspicious time to sign legal documents to finalize financial decisions.
