Libra horoscope today

3rd of 12

What matters most

Saturn is at a difficult angle to your sign for a long while. Doubt comes back more often, and so does self-criticism. Write down what's done, the list is longer than you think.

Calculated for noon, London time, from the positions of the seven classical planets.

Your stretch, your day

These days

Your stretch scores 5.5 out of 10 until October 23 (Sun in Scorpio).

What carries you: Jupiter, Mars, and the Sun.

What weighs on you: Saturn opposite your sign.

A mixed stretch: some planets make life easier for you, others slow you down.

Today

The Moon in Sagittarius gets along with your sign until October 16: things come more easily.

The Moon carries your sign today. Your mood is simple, and small things are enough to make a good day. Treat yourself, it's the right day for it.

The details

Background +0.925, Moon +1.5: total +2.425, so 7/10. The background alone gives 5.5/10.

A demanding stretch when the background is at -2.4 or lower.

  • Saturn, opposition: -1.875, until April 13, 2028
  • Moon, sextile: +1.5, until October 16
  • Jupiter, sextile: +1.25, until July 26, 2027

What about you?

This page applies to everyone who shares this sign. Your own sky today, calculated from your whole chart (your Moon, your Ascendant, your houses), is more accurate.

How it's scored

At noon, we look at which sign each of the seven classical planets is in (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn), and the angle it makes with each sign: trines and sextiles lift, squares and oppositions slow, and with a conjunction it depends on the planet.

Each area only counts the planets tradition links to it: Venus for love, Mercury and Saturn for work, Mars and the Sun for energy, the Moon and Jupiter for others, the Sun and the Moon for you. Otherwise, the calculation is the same as for the sign's score.

A sign is a twelfth of humanity: this score holds for everyone who shares it. Your own daily sky, calculated on your whole chart, is more accurate.
