Libra Weekly Career Horoscope

Week beginning Monday 17th August

Just as the pace of this professional year should be levelling off, Mars' return to your career sector last week has given it a new lease of live. By the time Mercury left your career sector last Monday, a retrograde turn had kept him here for over two months and in that time, he had seen it all. Normally moving through in just 14 to 15 days, Mercury will give you just enough time to get your head in the game before he's gone again. This year, Mercury returned in time to get your head in the game during the final four weeks of Jupiter's 12 month quest for professional growth and expansion and as both the Sun and Venus moved through. His departure last Monday should have brought all planetary activity on the career front to an end but instead, 24 hours later and with the Moon there to bridge the gap, Mars returned to spend the next seven weeks fuelling your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit. The dwarf planet Ceres' return two days later to begin her first deep dive into your professional needs and priorities in four years, will give you a better sense of where to channel this.

Avoid tensions predicted in your Libra weekly career horoscope

You work hard to make life flow smoothly, but sometimes there are tense moments or power struggles associated with your job. You must control difficult people. Even if you’re seething inside, you excel at maintaining a cool disposition. You never allow a negative situation to best you.

People assume that because you’re so mannerly that you’re timid. They couldn’t be more wrong. You take action assertively, and you make it look easy. You don’t mind asking for what you want, and do you it in a subtle way.

If the energies are positive, you snap up an opportunity to discuss advancement with a superior. Perhaps you’ll share a working lunch and casually bring up what you want.
