Libra
Born between: Sep 23rd - Oct 22nd
Convincing and charming are the best characteristics of someone born under the Libra star sign. When they overcome shyness those with the Libra sign are great debaters who will always share credit for their wins.
As the friendly Moon moves into Leo, your trademark diplomatic skills and way of putting others in the focus of your attention keeps you popular and much appreciated. This gives you a wonderful way of entertaining others and keeping them amused. For the next few weeks, with Mars in your house of broad horizons, great ideas and travel, you will feel a renewed sense of excitement after recent delays. You will be unusually vocal, but really Libra, do you have to shout your opinions from the rooftops? Charming colours are almond and blush. Lucky numbers are 57 and 48.
Jealousy could be a problem if you want absolute commitment. Any hint of you not being in control of the situation will make you feel insecure, especially at work. Be aware of your needs but do not overreact; you may be magnifying a tiny matter out of all proportion. Talk to close partners, both at home and at work, so you can get certain things straight as simply and quickly as possible. Things pick up later. Appropriate colours are gold and bronze. Lucky numbers are 38 and 3.
Focus on your working situation to get more recognition and admiration for your talents. You've got to put your energy into doing things in a different way to really get out of the rut. But make sure that other people are being well looked after. You will be able to be kind because you have a sense of emotional sympathy for those who are suffering or needy. You can even sacrifice yourself to help others and not feel too martyred. Fortunate colours are striped agate and honey. Lucky numbers are 70 and 57.
It's important to channel your energy into something more exciting, for this is not the time to do anything that requires attention to detail. You're likely to be careless just because you're restless. Routines will bore you and anything that's the way it has always been will make you droop. A more experimental approach is needed. This is not a time for team efforts, or forcing yourself to be co-operative. Empowering colours are heather and champagne. Lucky numbers are 14 and 23.
Feeling a little bit restless? The Gemini Moon urges you to look for new things in life. Get off the beaten track, out of routines, off to find more excitement. Everyday encounters are carrying a much more significant tone for you at the moment, bringing intense conversations, in-depth discussions, sometimes rather startling insights. You just have to watch a tendency to become uncharacteristically stubborn. Lively colours are mauve and chrome. Lucky numbers are 20 and 41.
All of us want easier lives and assume that everyone else has less problems. If you do feel that your life is trickier than other people's just now, it's because they are hiding it better. Accept the cosmic pressures as a way of holding you back in order to focus. You will find the answers you seek. You're insisting on sticking to the straight and narrow but with good reason. You know attention to detail and determination will pay off. Auspicious colours are golden topaz and crimson. Lucky numbers are 3 and 17.
Bold Mars, planet of dynamic action, is now cruising through your ninth house of the higher mind and long distance travel. You can be a great crusader for your beliefs and enthusiastic about broadcasting your ideas to a wider cross-section of friends in coming weeks. Keep calm, for you'll be a touch strong in your opinions since you will feel rather evangelical. Luckily a truthful and straightforward approach will arouse general enthusiasm. Effective colours are parchment and old gold. Lucky numbers are 16 and 7.
Open up to other people a bit more, for you will gain from creative discussions. The truth is what matters at the end of the day, not who's saying it. Maybe you are right, but you could also be a bit ahead of yourself, or not waiting for the right time to speak. You will be proved correct eventually, but just yet there is no sense in forcing companions to take on board what is too strange. Persuasive colours are maple syrup and buttercup. Lucky numbers are 29 and 45.
New arrangements are needed with close partners over joint finances, or over your emotional life. Make the effort, it will put everything on a more solid footing. You need to be free to operate in your own highly individual style and your own inventive ideas will be best. You could take the opportunity to seek new remedies in order to keep fit, or to resolve old ailments. Be experimental but not too cranky. Healing colours are russet and green. Lucky numbers are 12 and 44.
You work well with the public or your wider circle of friends, since you are sensitive to the subtle messages that come across. Avoid leaping into a situation too emotionally, only to find that you don't really want to see it through to the end. You sometimes have a tendency to lose courage about things and your energy will be rather fragile just now. So it will be important to seek out nice, happy, re-assuring mates. Subtle colours are burnt umber and topaz. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.
Get together with a partner so you will feel secure in whatever you are doing at play or at work. Note that you may have to be less self-sufficient and more adaptable to ensure that close partners are on your wavelength. It's the Equinox, so give before you get, it will be worth it. Being challenged and tested makes you come alive... wouldn't you rather travel far than be stuck in routine? Auspicious colours are chrome and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 3 and 61.
You find yourself more sensitive to the needs of others, so will be able to help. Just remember to stand firm for your rights. At work you much prefer to work in a one-to-one partnership than on your own or with a team. So go seek. Anything which feels too clashing, difficult or harassing will not suit. Stimulated by the Equinox, your intuition will be working well under the New Moon, so trust your instincts. Appropriate colours are dark toffee and sultana. Lucky numbers are 62 and 20.

You are very sensitive to other people now... beauty, harmony, contentment and bliss, not wanting the rough edges of normal everyday living. Neptune features strongly in your house of love and self- expression. You need to be wary of over-idealising your mate or your children. If you do, you will see what you want to see and when the reality finally dawns you will become unsettled and maybe even bitter. Calming colours are peacock blue and white. Lucky numbers are 4 and 65.
You are determined to stand your ground, and will insist in getting your own way now. Nobody will take advantage of you or intrude on your territory, but try not to flare up over tiny obstacles or delays. Be aware of the needs of your companions and workmates, because they feel you are acting in a much more determined and secretive way than usual. Soothing colours are burnt umber and striped agate. Lucky numbers are 34 and 17.
You are tempted to eat and drink more than usual, as your willpower is low at the moment. Agreeable planetary influences remove any feeling that you have regarding duty or responsibility. You are genuinely happy with your own company and will be content to reflect on your thoughts. You are radiating an inner peace that others envy, and because you are tuned in to others at a deeper level than usual, you will be able to offer them sensitive support. Positive colours are coral and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 58 and 76.
Treat your body as a machine that needs the right treatment - good fuel and maintenance stops along the way. You need to be fit to crack on through the chores that are piling up in front of you. Deeply secretive, you will plot how to get your own way. You don't easily forgive anyone lets you down at the moment. You won't take your love life lightly. If you try to be in control all the time, you'll just end up in arguments. Fortunate colours are madder lake and tourmaline. Lucky numbers are 23 and 20.
Trivial amusements are not uppermost on your mind now, which is just as well, as they won't work well briefly. If you try to be too cheerful, you'll end up feeling thwarted, however, if you try to be serious, you'll make by far the best of the Saturn influences. Mercury in your opposite sign makes you dither, trying to make up your mind. You want to see both sides. Ideal colours are amethyst and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 16 and 47.
Avoid bores and people who get on your nerves. Seek out interesting conversations with people who are on your wavelength. Even if you are on your own for a little while, it won't bother you very much because the Moon is hinting to cool down, calm down and get away from hassle, hustle and aggravation. Don't be overwhelmed by the cares of the outside world. Prosperous colours are periwinkle and ginger. Lucky numbers are 39 and 52.
If you are over-emotional about certain things, perhaps you are too close to what you're talking about. Your heart is certainly in the right place, but your brain may be in the wrong gear. Slow down and pause for thought every so often. You are likely to over-indulge and expand, but you will still find time to mull over old memories. Positive colours are tangerine and sable. Lucky numbers are 27 and 48.
Flaws and inadequacies in one relationship are beginning to show up. Are you taking too bleak a view of one situation or person? Lighten up a little. If you say too much when you are feeling critical, it will be more difficult to get back onto an even keel in the days ahead. Try acting the diplomat, it's your starring role, Libra! Your harmonious way of expressing yourself and desire to keep the peace will do wonders for your popularity. Advantageous colours are deep ivy and pastel shades. Lucky numbers are 21 and 42.
There is a slight coolness in the air, especially in love relationships. Perhaps it's just that duty is coming before pleasure. You are more hardworking and conscientious at the moment, though a touch too serious about your responsibilities. You're moving in a slow but steady rise to success, if you stick to the straight and narrow. Favourable colours are vermilion and saffron. Lucky numbers are 8 and 10.
Money and security are on your mind, so it's well worth pushing yourself into doing boring things like tedious paperwork. Once you have that organised, not only will you feel better, you'll be able to spend with a clear conscience! You will be amazingly charming as long as everything goes your way, otherwise your stubborn side may show through. But don't dig your heels in too hard. Charming colours are barley bread and sienna. Lucky numbers are 17 and 75.
Venus flirting with Uranus isn't good for possessive relationships or relationships where you want to keep everything absolutely still and stable. Rid yourself of restrictions and give yourself a bit of room to breathe. Open the window, let a blast of fresh air blow through... you are exploring different ways of keeping fit, new diets and ways of sorting out minor ailments. All of this is down to Uranus passing through your sixth house of work and health. Advantageous colours are slate and lavender. Lucky numbers are 9 and 44.
With the gorgeous Moon glowing in Libra, you'll be determined now that you've found the courage and confidence to say the things you want to say. Sort one situation out in a sensible way now and take constructive steps to find out what you need to know. You will find long-term answers if you persist. Appropriate colours are yellow and silver. Lucky numbers are 45 and 26.
Status and respectability are vital to your self-esteem now, so redouble your efforts to gain the praise of those whose judgement you really trust. With clever Mercury cruising through your sixth house of work, you have a more practical approach than usual. An appetite for detail and oodles of common sense will bring you results. Workmates, subordinates and colleagues may find you a stickler for everything being just so. Realistic colours are burnt umber and rich merlot. Lucky numbers are 61 and 76.
You are pulled between conflicting wants and oughts. Your sense of duty says work and service to others comes first, but you also have your own needs to consider. There are times when you are happy to give to others, but there are also times when you feel deprived because no one is reciprocating. Feeling resentful only makes you feel worse. Give yourself the odd treat to boost your spirits, and it will all work much better. Expressive colours are caramel and peridot. Lucky numbers are 27 and 24.
You love 'em or loathe 'em at the moment - there is not much in between where your feelings are concerned. You want to live your life at a profound level and will not be attracted to anything too superficial. At times your rather rebellious attitude towards your family and close partners will unsettle the normally co-operative atmosphere, so try to fly solo when you can. If you are restless, find an outlet for your original ideas. Fortunate colours are bright neon and old rope. Lucky numbers are 10 and 62.
Keep one scheme within realistic bounds and put a few limits on your plans and hopes and you could do well. But there is a danger that you could go into mental overdrive and zip on so quickly that you miss out on opportunities. It may go against the grain, but if you can pause to collect your wits you will achieve more. If you rush ahead too fast you may get careless or cut corners. Then nothing works well. Advantageous colours are shell pink and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 31 and 62.
With Venus your life-ruler still in dynamic Aries, your seventh house, you will certainly not be short of admirers, social invitations or compliments. So make the most of the good times, and have fun. It will boost your morale, self-esteem and status. As the Moon cruises through your house of friends and future plans you are in a zany, stimulating mood. A friend or associate may wish to become something more under these lovely aspects! Alluring colours are pistachio and madder lake. Lucky numbers are 42 and 5.
With your hands on the reins of control, you need to force yourself to share more. In your personal life, your need to be in charge could lead to disagreements, though confrontations won't be brought out into the open. You may not always be good at seeing other people's shortcomings, but erring on the side of forgiveness, you can take on other people's problems and be leant on too much. Dynamic colours are jasper and rhodium. Lucky numbers are 25 and 53.
If you're not going to get enough attention at home, you have to go out into the world to get it. You are sensitive, very responsive to the mood around you at work, and therefore very good in group situations. Your incentive and ambition is high, yet you're putting it across in a very nice, protective kind of way for other people. Don't let your emotions get in the way of reason. Appropriate colours are pastel hues and blue periwinkle. Lucky numbers are 49 and 17.
