Love is in the air and it doesn't hurt that money is also coming your way over this year.

Happy birthday, Libra!
If you're born between the dates September 23rd and October 22nd, you are a Libra zodiac sign. Ruled by Venus, Libra is the seventh sign in astrology related to the element of air.
Often referred to as a solar house, the 7th house rules partnerships, marriage, and commitment, but it relates to business matters as well.
Like Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn, Libra is a cardinal zodiac sign, which simply means they are an initiator of change.
In the tarot, Libra is assigned the Justice tarot card, which on a traditional deck with a picture of a scale or a woman holding one in her hands.
One unique symbolic trait about Libra that makes it different from the other horoscope signs is that it is the only one symbolized by a non-living thing.
All the other signs are either a combination of man and animal, human or animal alone.
The metallic nature of Libra provides it the ability to remain ever faithful and fair. In fact, the Scales is a time when the Fall Equinox arrives. One side of the Scale is balanced with the other to represent light and dark in the world.
When Libra arrives on or before the Fall Equinox, there is a period of time when the day expresses an equal portion of daytime and nighttime.
Libra's perfect love matches include Aquarius, which is another air sign and Taurus because Libra and the Bull share the same ruling planet - Venus.
If you ever meet someone with long and svelte features, an appearance of gracefulness and powerful inner strength mingled with beauty, you're likely spotting a Libra.
They are the epitome of grace. In fact, Libra's make wonderful listeners, great friends, and loyal lovers.
This year your solar return takes place during the month of your sign's arrival, but if you're a Libra zodiac sign, you'll start to sense the energy most on the date of your birth.
For all Libra's starting September 2019, thoughts, finance, work, and health are at the center of your life this year.
Your annual forecast begins with Sun, Mercury, and Venus (your ruling planet), all in your astrological sign.
When Mars enters Libra on October 3rd, you start the busiest time of the year, especially with Venus squaring Pluto which turns direct on the same day it leaves your sign and enters Scorpio, your solar house of home and finances.
Here's what the rest of the year looks like for all Libra zodiac signs (Sun, Moon and rising) beginning this September and lasting until September 2020, of next year.
2019
October 1st-31st, 2019
Jupiter is in Sagittarius, your solar third house, the house of ideas and mental activities. When Mars enters Libra on the 3rd, you might be more impulsive or quick to anger.
With Mercury direct in Scorpio after the 3rd and Venus after the 8th, you should expect more financial activity. The Sun enters Scorpio on the 21st, which should encourage you to use financial resources wisely.
November 1st-30th, 2019
Venus can assist you with your relationships with siblings and neighbors between the 1st and the 24th. This is a good tie to connect with members of your family.
Your ideas and attitudes will take on more significance when the Sun enters Sagittarius on the 22nd. The New Moon on the 26th will inspire you with optimism.
December 1st-31st, 2019
Jupiter enters Capricorn on the 2nd. Your solar fourth house. This should bring blessings to your home and family. Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 9th, perfect timing for the thrills associated with the holidays. The Gemini Full Moon on the 12th is a great time to plan a trip or go on a vacation.
January 1st-31st, 2020
The Moon in Pisces on the 1st means you’ll probably begin the new year in a sentimental mood. Expect a more stable family life through the 21st while the Sun and other planets visit Capricorn.
You should have lots of energy that you can use to strengthen the bonds of family. Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto combine energies, giving you the opportunity to begin a new lifestyle.
February 1st-28th, 2020
With Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn, it is a good time to make practical decisions about your personal life. Confirm any travel plans for this month or March, as Mercury turns retrograde on the 16th.
Also, you can expect errors and misunderstandings. When the Sun enters Pisces on the 18th, your work relationship could enter a new phase. You might receive a new assignment.
March 1st-31st, 2020
Venus visits your solar eighth house from the 4th onward. It’s a great time to focus on money management. Mercury enters Pisces on the 16th. Neptune is already there.
Your ideals are likely to profoundly affect your decisions.
Your health needs will be a focus as the Sun, Mercury, and Neptune travel through Pisces.
April 1st-30th, 2020
The Full Moon in Libra might bring focus to an important personal need. With Venus in Gemini from the 3rd on, you can learn new skills through study, travel, reading, or meeting people from different backgrounds. Wait until Mercury enters Aries on the 10th before discussing anything vital with your significant other or a trusted advisor.
May 1st-31st, 2020
The Sun and Mercury spend a good portion of the month in Taurus, in your solar house of deep sharing. This Taurus influence can have a calming effect on you. Mars in Aquarius during the first half of the month suggests that you might have problems with a child, significant other, or special project.
June 1st-30th
Your attitudes and communication style are emphasized this month. Eclipses occur on the 5th and the 21st, so don’t plan social events for those days.
Things can be unpredictable where eclipses are involved. With several planets retrograde this month, you’ll just have to be patient.
You also need to guard your health and avoid people with a contagious illness.
July 1st-31st, 2020
Retrograde motion brings Saturn back into Capricorn on the 1st. The strength of a close relationship can be tested.
If you try hard, you can stabilize it. With Sun and Mercury in your solar tenth house, it’s a good time to talk about your needs and priorities with your partner, family, or supervisor.
August 1st-31st, 2020
With the Sun in Leo, your creativity is at its peak. Mars in Aries can make you want to take charge, so guard against appearing too bossy.
While Mercury is in Leo between the 4th and the 18th, you can easily express yourself. The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 3rd encourages you to be bold in self-expression.
September 1st-30th, 2020
A Full Moon in Pisces on the 2nd will provide the added energy you need to finish a nearly completed task.
Mars in Aries since June 27th suggests possible problems with a business partner or significant other. As your birthday nears, your energy, enthusiasm, and self-esteem should increase.
