Moon in Libra

Moon in Libra means your feelings are tuned to relationships: you almost always check your own state against the state of another person. In a birth chart the Moon stands for your feelings and for what you need in order to feel safe. Libra is an air sign ruled by Venus. It opens autumn, and astrologers call the signs that begin a season cardinal. Your first reaction here is to catch the other person's mood and smooth things over so that no quarrel breaks out.

Calm comes through balance in your relationships. Support comes from agreement and give-and-take, from the sense that things between you and others are fine, and anxiety rises wherever there is tension or someone's displeasure. Air makes feelings mobile and dependent on a response, and a cardinal sign adds the wish to restore peace without waiting for things to settle by themselves. You recover in pleasant surroundings and in calm conversation. The vulnerability is that your own state gets lost in someone else's, like a voice in a choir that tries so hard to stay in tune that it stops hearing itself. To keep the peace, it is easy to give in before you understand what you want, and dissatisfaction builds up for a long time and settles into background anxiety.

Your ability to feel another person remains a strength, and next to it you need room for a position of your own. The question "where shall we go?" might get your own idea as an answer instead of "whatever you like". Or before giving in, ask yourself whose wish this is, yours or a reflected one, and hold a short pause even if it feels uncomfortable for a minute.
