Libra starts to feel like itself again this Thursday. Venus, your ruling planet, has moved clear of the Sun’s glare on your lagna, though it stays retrograde until mid-November. After a month of low energy and self-doubt, confidence begins to return in small, noticeable ways. Karwa Chauth also falls during this period, a festival of devotion that suits Venus’s themes of love and grace. The Moon moves from Taurus, your eighth, into Gemini, your ninth, by afternoon.




Venus Rises on Your LagnaWith your ruler visible again, you may notice others responding more warmly. Clothes you set aside may feel right again, and conversations flow more easily.




This glow builds slowly. Venus still moves backwards, so let it grow rather than forcing it.




Karwa Chauth and LibraMarried Libra women keeping the vrat may find the fast easier than expected, with energy steady through the day. Husbands can join in spirit by fasting lightly or preparing the evening meal.




Dress in red or pink for the evening puja, as both colours suit a reviving Venus.




Moon Moves into the NinthAfter a sensitive morning in your eighth, the Moon enters Gemini, your ninth, in Mrigashira. Faith and optimism rise towards evening, just in time for moonrise.




The debilitated Sun and retrograde Mercury in your lagna still call for humility in speech.




Shani and JupiterRetrograde Shani, your yogakaraka, in the sixth keeps health habits disciplined, which supports a gentle fast. Exalted Jupiter in your tenth blesses your reputation.
