Y’all already know about the South Node — you’ve been hauling it and the whole weight of your past around since July 2023, and you’ll continue to heft it until January 2025. (My sympathies! The Nodes of the Moon’s orbit move generally retrograde, and the South Node parked in my own sun sign Scorpio for a year and a half before it seized you.) Now, the South Node is joined in your sign by Lilith, the spot in space where the Moon reaches its farthest point of orbit from the Earth and the ruler of psychological shadow. You are in for a long, difficult period, and you’re probably going to make it everybody else’s problem!

But Libras are all about balance, and honestly? It can be kind of fun to feel bad. Get your wardrobe ready: you’re going to make an iconically fabulous villain.

What the stars are up to:

• Your sign ruler Pluto is retrograde in Aquarius.
• Mercury and Venus oppose Pluto.
• Mars creates a trine with Pluto.

What it means:

Cancer is the water sign star of this season. Like, duh, but really though! Pisces is purposefully spending some time alone, and you, too, need a dose of isolation to rest and recharge. You should probably spare yourself some trouble while the rulers of communication and desire are ignoring Pluto, your dwarf planet representative. This is not an ideal moment to dive into romantic conversations. Just float along in imitation of Pluto — backwards, by yourself, way out of everyone else’s path. Near the end of the season, Mars will reward you with a surge of motivational energy.

What the stars are up to:

• Your sign ruler Jupiter is in Gemini.
• Mercury and Venus form sextiles with Jupiter.
• The waxing gibbous Moon travels through your sign twice this season.

What it means:

You’re somehow managing to merrily avoid all of the trouble swirling around you and skip through the season in good cheer. The protective good luck bubble bestowed upon you by Jupiter is made of some seriously durable stuff, and good thing. Expect to stay occupied — even entertained — by supporting friends from other signs, many of whom are going through it during the next four weeks.

What the stars are up to:

• Your sign ruler Saturn is in Pisces.
• Saturn turns retrograde.
• The Sun, Mercury, and Venus create trines with Saturn.
• Mars forms a sextile with Saturn.
• The Full Moon in your sign opposes the Sun twice this season, once in June and again in July.

What it means:

You’re scheduled for a powerful season. The representatives of self-understanding, intellect, aesthetics, and energy are all pleased with the ambitions of Saturn, your sign ruler. Your ringed ruler turns retrograde at the end of June, but this doesn’t spell utter disaster the way it might with an “inner” planet like Mercury, Venus, or even Mars. In your case, Saturn retrograde might actually allow you to relax for a few months — you know, relatively. (Whatever your Capricorn version of relaxation looks like, which is still incredibly productive by most people’s standards.) This could even give you a chance to relax enough to create better work than you were doing before! There! Do I have your attention now?
