During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing.
It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give.

This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work.

A Lunar Eclipse Occurred on January 31st: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse.
There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar eleventh house. Surprises surrounding long-term goals, friendships, and group affiliations may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination.
This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests a friendship, a culmination or fruition of a casual relationship, you could be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture, a friend may experience a little crisis and ask for your help, you could suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time, and other such possibilities.

Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love.

You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one.

You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture.
You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work.
Libra Monthly Horoscope – February 2018
There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency.
Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle. Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies.
You are also feeling an idealized realization of partnership participation regarding your inner purpose, that task which only you can fulfill and which is in some sense your reason for having incarnated at this particular time and place. After the 21st, including the Winter Solstice and the Cancer Full Moon , you are entering into a fresh start on career and profession, based on these re-workings of your core beliefs.
The following was written by this month's guest columnist Adam Elenbaas of The Nightlight Astrology School The month of December begins just as your ruling planet, Venus , is separating from an opposition to Uranus in Aries in your seventh house of relationships.
While the opposition perfected on November 30th, the themes of disruption, innovation, and independence in relationships are still loud and strong to start the month. Sudden epiphanies regarding key partnerships in your life are quite likely to come up. Meanwhile, all month long the major series of transits are all taking place in the sign of Sagittarius , in your third house of communication, learning, siblings, short journeys, and the mind, making squares to Mars and Neptune in the sign of Pisces and in your sixth house of work, sickness, and service.
You are likely feeling emotionally and intellectually inspired and assertive right now. You might be working very hard to learn something new, or perhaps laboring to communicate something of great importance.
Again, themes of mental intensity, assertiveness, action and service are all pronounced, now and for the remaining thirty days of this new lunation period.
In the lunar cycle ahead, your mind will expand, and you may be asking yourself how you can do more to help others.
Libra Monthly Horoscope – February
However, you should be careful not to lose yourself in the haze of a passing emotional crusade. On December 20th, the Sun in Sagittarius in your third house will trine Uranus in Aries in your seventh house of relationships, stimulating growth, creativity, and innovation in your relationships.
Light bulbs and epiphanies abound when you speak your mind to those you are close with right now. You may also receive unexpected gifts or blessings from those you are close with as Jupiter is also disposing of the Sun right now.
On December 21st, Mercury will conjoin Jupiter in Sagittarius in your third house.
Monthly Horoscope: Predictions for Libra
Though you are by nature balanced and diplomatic in your interactions with others, there is an aura of big, brash, assertive, and charismatic intellectual exchanges surrounding this transit, which might make you feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, when the need for justice and truth is most urgent, we are often called to speak up, regardless of whether it is the most pleasing thing for others to hear.
Your ideals are important. On the other hand, if we are too rigid about our ideals, then we may become too easily agitated when we have differences with others, or we may exhaust ourselves trying to prove a point.
Somewhere in the middle there exists a place of clarity, a place where your strongest beliefs and your most basic actions are wed together in a balanced matter.
The Winter Solstice on December 21st takes place as the Sun enters Capricorn and moves into your fourth house of home, family, roots, and property, shifting your attention to these topics for the year ahead.

Mercury is retrograde until December 6th While Mercury is retrograde, it's better to review, revise, and refine rather than push things forward, particularly related to communications, contracts, and transportation.
Misunderstandings and delays are more likely. Occurring in your solar second house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases.
Hold off on major decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being.
In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. This is an excellent period for review, however.
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention.
Put off making solid travel plans if possible. With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications. From December 12th forward: Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully.
More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, "information overload" is also a possibility.
This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now.
Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
