Libra Monthly Horoscope

Libra – The focus this month is on your Ninth House (Gemini) and Seventh House (Aries). I’ll look at the Seventh first, because your Sun is there natally so your visibility in the world is defined by your partners as well as your opponents.

The Seventh House

You were born with the Sun in Libra in the Seventh, so at your brilliant best, you shine in partnerships of all kinds where you are different to each other but equal. The scales. You can feel exposed and scrutinised if these fail. I have a list a mile long of Sun in Libra people who did both from Oscar Wilde and Constance Wilde and Bosie Douglas to Bob Geldof and the late, great Paula Yates. (I knew her, Horatio). The Duchess of York, who once asked me for a reading has it – Prince Andrew is her Neptune transit.

Here you are in August 2025 with Saturn and Neptune both transiting your Seventh in your solar chart and approaching a conjunction with your Sun in your natal chart. That either just happened (if you were born in September) or is going to happen in the next few years. So, this is personal. The duets or duels you are defined by visibly and always publicly (no private life for you) are in the frame. Neptune brings a non-reality and unreality with it, so you escape into the feud or the double act pursuing it the way swimmers pursue the horizon at sea. Endlessly and without any possible outcome because it is illusory. Just be aware of that before you go wading into any legal battle, Libra. External advice from the tried, tested and trusted is an excellent idea, particularly, if given free of charge.

Equally, you can fall in love with somebody who is never even going to hold your hand. Neptune is the alternative to the mundane reality of many years of marriage. This transit takes many forms. Talk to a Virgo. You can lose your husband and still talk about him daily as if he was there. And to him.

Saturn is here too, not just Neptune. So, along with the other world tied to this person on the other end of the scales (real to those who inhabit it and a mystery to those who do not), you have a waiting game. Saturn always brings a waiting game. It is associated with clocks. The Greek forerunner was Chronos/Kronos from which we have ‘chronic’ and so there can be chronological order here, but it takes a very, very long time.

August is a good month to ask other people about your dispute or your double act. Whatever and whomever you commit to will be a tie that binds for far longer than you assume. People commonly pursue Neptune when faced with Saturn. So, if you have a leaden marriage or professional partnership (Saturn rules lead) you may deny it entirely and lose yourself in a purely digital relationship based on someone called Roy wearing a mermaid costume. And, of course, you also have Uranus in your Ninth so the appeal of holiday romance, foreign lovers (Shirley Valentine) and bilingual duets may be the story.

Your Ninth House – Uranus in Gemini

Uranus in Gemini could lead to emigration by 2033 or a foreign posting for a year or two. The last thing you expect to happen is the first thing that always happens, Libra. So, if you shudder at the idea of uprooting, that may, in fact, be what happens. August brings the storm to a peak as the world map is lit up in the sheet and forked lightning and you realise you are being offered a new life in a new place or a new relationship with other cultures or nationalities. If it’s not exhilarating, you’re not doing it right. Uranus involves rejection. If you are rejected by a foreigner, you will reject and be liberated. If you are rejecting a foreign country, then it may rebuff you in turn – and again you will be liberated. Uranus is about distancing.

The Ninth House is about publishing and academia, so classically this is books in translation, the ‘world’ part of the worldwide web, international students or foreign lecturers. Uranus in Gemini does rather suggest the stagecoach will be overturned or the ship will throw you onto the shore. Both things happened to the Herschels who discovered Uranus. Again, you will be liberated, set free or put on a zigzag path that leads to heaven knows where. They call it living.
