The Full Moon in your Natural 5th House on the 29th could see the completion of a creative project, a love affair, or something related to your children.  You're probably usually pretty creative and love being in relationships, so look for something to occur in one of these areas that either indicates closure or perhaps moving onto another phase.  As long as Neptune is hanging out in that House you can expect inspiration to be readily available; however, especially in the case of love affairs, it could also predispose you to be too idealistic or possibly delusional, so don't trust your feelings too much without some facts to back them up.  As an Air Sign you're generally logical in nature, so make sure you hang onto that thought.

With Mars in your Natural 8th House, your sex drive is likely to be high.  Be warned, though, that there could also be a tendency for arguments or disagreements in your intimate relationships.  Libras are usually pretty fair and level-headed, so you could surprise a few people by being more outspoken than usual.  A sense of restlessness may also be eating at you, for no apparent reason.  If there's anything that has been bothering you that you've never confronted your significant other, this could give you the nerve to bring it up and try to resolve it, once and for all.  If your sig other happens to ask what's wrong, but you don't care to discuss it, just tell him or her that Mars is transiting your 8th House and that should end the conversation relatively quickly, unless, of course, they happen to be into astrology, in which case it could be a very fruitful conversation.  On the other hand, Mars could attract some contention your way that you do not initiate.  If something has been brewing lately, you may be forced to take a good hard look at it, whether you want to or not.  Since Libras are usually unconfrontational, you have a very real tendency to bury your head in the sand and hope that anything that requires an uncomfortable dialog will simply go away.  This is seldom the case, so no matter how much you hate having discussions of a controversial nature, you may have no other choice.  And don't give in just to save the peace.  Make a habit of that and you'll find yourself a regular doormat in no time at all.

If you belong to any groups or organizations, which you probably do since you like people, you may encounter a strange mix of experiences in those venues this month.  Venus, your ruling planet, is there, which will make you even more attractive than usual and further imbue you with natural charm.  You should be perceived in a very positive manner and this could be a place where you could meet someone new.  Saturn is in that same 11th House neighborhood, however, and in very close proximity to Venus, which is known as a conjunction.   Ordinarily these two planets are about as different as you can get.  Venus, of course, is generally recognized as the Goddess of Love and she affects relationships, of course, as well as such things as your possessions, bank account, pleasures and comforts.  Saturn, on the other hand, is usually looked upon as a malefic planet who brings hard times, delays, and sometimes harsh encounters with responsibilities and/or authority figures.  In this case, however, charm coupled with a strong sense of responsibility can yield outstanding results, whether it's relative to an organization or perhaps even your fondest hopes and wishes, which are also 11th House matters.  There is no better time to give some serious thought to what you really want out of life and then apply some of Saturn's discipline and structure to making it happen.  This pairs up very nicely with that New Moon in your career and reputation house and could help you further define what you're really looking for.

The long term effects of Jupiter and Pluto in your Natural 3rd House continue to work on your thought processes.  Naturally, these patterns begin when you're a child, so you're likely to be doing a lot of thinking about your upbringing.  If there is anything from your past that you haven't addressed, it will surely surface during these transits, which will in be force for quite a while.  There will be a variety of experiences that come your way that will stimulate thoughts relative to what your true values are and where they originated.  You'll question things you never did before.  It will be an interesting journey and you will have grown significantly and learned a lot about yourself and life in general by the time it ends.  And, of course, in the wisdom of the universe, these processes also tie in to all the above relative to the rest of your life.

This should be an interesting and active month with lots of possibilities on the horizon in your group activities, love life and career, in particular.  You'll have a lot to think about and some serious assistance from the cosmos as you do so.
