What Mercury in Libra Means for Your Zodiac Sign
PEOPLE's resident astrologer Kyle Thomas weighs in on the astrological effect Mercury's transit through Libra has on each zodiac sign from Sept. 26 to Oct. 13
Mercury is returning to the skies of Libra for the first time this year.
Known as our cosmic messenger, Mercury (the planet of communication and business) will move through the zodiac sign from Sept. 26 through Oct. 13. PEOPLE's resident astrologer Kyle Thomas points out various ways we will be astrologically impacted during its transit.
With Mercury in Libra, Thomas says our minds will focus on balance as we're likely to be "more inclined to consider other perspectives." Plus, he says we'll set out to find "commitment and connection" during this time.
This particular transit could be advantageous for "negotiations," he points out, noting that "things could smooth out" if you've been experiencing "rocky relationships" with noticeable frustrations or conflicts. "Things could smooth out if you approach it with diplomacy and grace," he says.
Libra is considered a cardinal Air sign, which Thomas says "will enhance our intellectual and logical nature." It's also ruled by Venus, which he says "can grant us more charm, humor and social energy in our communications sector."
On the flip side, Thomas notes this energy could also make us more "passive-aggressive, superficial, deceptive or willing to give in to others at the expense of our own ideas." Focus this energy on "cooperation" rather than "domination" — because if used wisely, he says "you could go quite far."
