The Moon slips into Libra tonight just before her beautiful coach turns back into a pumpkin––and with the laundry list of challenging aspects the Moon faces on Friday, she may feel like Cinderella indeed. But all is not lost––we're about to discover that the Libra Moon does more than smile and look pretty. Libra keeps an iron fist inside that velvet glove.

Some write-ups of Libra focus on the grace and diplomacy of this cardinal Air sign, and suggest the need to keep everyone happy leads to wishy-washy waffling, people pleasing, and enabling.

Friday, we see Libra's other side: This sign has a keen sense of justice, deep need for fairness, and impatience with the easy way out.

To reach the best solution, Libra will stay the course until everyone is on board. Libra is an able, articulate advocate––even for the devil––in the quest to consider every angle and find the right path.

Libra is the yang side of Venus, her direct and active expression. Inside Libra's velvet glove, there's an iron hand. There's a reason why Saturn is exalted in this sign!

All day Friday, the Libra Moon takes on challenge after challenge. The only easy aspects are to the Nodes of the Moon, a signal that sometimes we need to dive into difficult conversations to get someplace important.

Saturday opens with the Libra Moon trying to find a way to connect with the Sun in Pisces––another tough conversation. And then maybe we get a glimmer of what lies beneath the struggle.

Venus in Taurus flows energy with Chiron in Pisces Saturday night. Venus rules Taurus by night, her yin, receptive side. Now we connect with where we've felt wounded and where we find healing, in nurturing, compassion, and rest.

Soon after, the Moon joins Saturn for her last aspect in Libra. Having talked it all out and found peace, solutions can manifest. Maybe we understand things better, embraced a new perspective, created a fresh vision, chosen a different plan.

Sunday begins with the Moon stepping into shadowy Scorpio. During this Libra Moon time, we embrace diplomacy and speak inclusively, while standing firmly for fairness and balance.
