Big goddess energy is shifting this week’s energetic skies! As you’ve probably heard, Mercury is now retrograde, infusing the air with an overall vibe of “revision,” for the next few weeks. Following this celestial trend, asteroid Juno enters Libra on Friday. In mythology, Juno was the Queen of the Gods, the blesser of marriages, and the wife of Jupiter. Her archetype holds the strongest sense of commitment there is, which is basically unbreakable. Juno’s archetype, alone, maintains relationships against all odds, even if they have become painful.
Astrologically, Juno is the asteroid of commitment, marriage, and relationships. Libra, the Zodiac sign Juno will activate between August 9th and November 3rd is also about relationships. Together, they wave a combination that seeks to weigh the state of our closest connections. At first glance, they seem like incredibly similar energies - and they are. But what Libra has in seeking justice, Juno lacks.
Over the next two months, while relationships are front-and-center, weighing two sides of a story becomes part of our rituals. This need will be especially strong between August 14 and September 13, when Juno meets with the South Node of Destiny. Many of our relationships - romantic, business, and personal - will need to be transformed and re-shaped.
A great ritual to perform every Friday night as you close your week, would be to ask yourself: Which archetype have I embodied this week within my relationships? Is it Juno - maintaining the status quo in a relationship due to fear of its ending? Or, am I surrendering to the need to express my desire for things to be fair, which would be Libra? By the time November 3rd arrives, you will be glad you did this work!
Collectively, Juno in Libra is about turning our focus toward our closest bonds. But as always happens with astrology, there is a whole other layer of interpretation. Below is the area of life that asteroid Juno will ask you to review your commitment to, according to your Rising Sign:
Aries: relationships, marriage, contracts, business partners
Taurus: work, wellness, pets, life processes
Gemini: children, fun, play, creativity
Cancer: home, family, roots, foundations
Leo: speech, communication, siblings, transportation
Virgo: money, resources, budget, personal values
Libra: identity, self-image, the body, approach to life
Scorpio: spirituality, healing, secrets, the subconscious mind
Sagittarius: community, friendships, networking, hopes & dreams
Capricorn: career, reputation, visibility, life purpose
