The Sun enters the sign of Libra, which is known as the autumnal equinox  All over the world, the sun will be above the horizon and below the horizon for equal amounts of time (or day and night are of equal amounts of 12 hours today).

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 generally what will happen in the world for the next six months.

This is a positive influence for writing, speaking, all kinds of communications. Mercury forming a smooth aspect to Jupiter promises good luck with signing legal documents, discussing marriage and initiating talks with adversaries.

This aspect also bodes well for diplomatic endeavors. Now is a good time to initiate talks with anyone you don’t see eye-to-eye with. Discussions, ideas, writing begun now may yield fortuitous results.

There will be a proliferation of information/conversations/messages supporting certain beliefs or opinions now.

This may be a time of disappointment, challenges or sacrifices in issues pertaining to women, money, possessions or in relationships.  Venus square Saturn is a positive time for doing volunteer work, helping others (especially the disadvantaged or elderly.)

This may be a depressing or difficult time and can be worked out best by accepting and embracing and work, sacrifice or challenge that may present itself.  Working out any disappointments by working for and taking on the burden of others is one of the most auspicious ways of handling any melancholy at this time.

On a positive note, any disciplined endeavor (dieting, work, abstaining, doing without) may be more pleasurable now and/or be extra rewarding and enjoyable at this time.

This is a wonderful time to socialize and to re-connect with people  Any social gatherings should be most enjoyable.  There may be a slight tendency to overindulge or overspend now.

This is an excellent time to work on creative projects, enjoying art, music, foreign affairs, and higher education.  Financial opportunities may arise.  Avoid overindulging or laziness.
