Matters of the family will be at the forefront of your consciousness this month, Libra. When Mercury enters Capricorn on the 6th, you’ll start to feel this as you brace yourself for the holidays. You will find yourself taking the lead at home, so you’ll have a lot to think about.

With Mars conjoining the moon in your 9th house of philosophy and travel, the full moon on the 7th brings you to new heights. Expect restlessness and wanderlust during this time, but don’t get too big for your britches.

When Jupiter re-enters Aries on the 20th, there will be an expansion of your conception of partnership. You may find yourself putting too much emphasis on your relationship, or you may find that attracting a mate is easier than ever! If you have any travel plans, you’ll have an opportunity to meet a partner on the road. If you’re taking classes or learning a new skill, you may feel a spark with someone in that context as well. This potential lasts until May of 2023.

The new moon on the 23rd brings us back to family matters. Now is a great time to reflect on your home life and values as we head into the holidays and new year. What is your role in your family? Consider Jake Sheiner’s Yard with Fire Engine Glow as you meditate on this theme: the artist’s apartment complex is depicted with a riotous mass of vegetation outside of it, bathed in the red light of a fire engine that has stopped to put out a small fire in the building. Here, the familiar domestic scene is rendered strange, pulsing with life even as it is threatened by destruction. Families, too, are subject to these contradictory currents, you may find your role changing before you realize what is happening. Take time to face up this with compassion for yourself and your family, and treat this lunation as an opportunity to renew your domestic self.
