The Sky Today,
September 18

At 3:05 AM: Mercury enters Libra

Before sunrise, Mercury slips into diplomatic Libra, beginning a cycle where communication seeks balance, beauty, and harmony. The next few weeks will center the value of refined expression, making it a favorable time for negotiation, presentations, and aesthetic design. Mercury in Libra listens for poetry patterns in words to create understanding without losing nuance. As Mercury rendezvous in a Venus-ruled sign, charisma becomes a tool for influence and creative expression becomes art. Today welcomes the opening lines of conversations framed in cooperation and mutual respect.

At 3:00 PM: Mercury is opposite Neptune retrograde

In the afternoon, Mercury’s entrance into Libra is immediately met with an opposition to Neptune retrograde in Aries, casting a haze over facts and perceptions. Neptune’s retrograde tends to dissolve, making this a day where clarity must be actively maintained. Interactions could reveal hidden intentions, inspiration, or the need to question appearances. While the potential for misunderstanding is present, so is the opportunity for powerful revelations from listening beyond surface words. This is a day for discernment and trusting what holds up under closer reflection.
