Jupiter entered Libra in September, though the planet of luck just made a grand entrance on October 1 flanked by the Sun and Moon, initiating his year long stay in the sign of 'Love'. Jupiter spends one year in each sign and takes 12 years to go around the zodiac.

If you happen to be a Libra, this will be your lucky year! Depending on your astrological sign, Jupiter in Libra will appear in a different area of your chart and will bring luck and opportunity to a different area of your life.

Libra is the Sign that presides over love and romance and all ideas of partnering. Jupiter is the planet that rules the concept of expansion so as you can imagine, with Jupiter in Libra, we will all see a greater focus on relationships, love, and romance in your personal lives as well as in the media

The two planets that measure trends are Jupiter and Neptune and together they give me an idea of what will be the next trend to pop, the next color, style or new culture craze. So let's have a look at what happened when Neptune and Jupiter met for a date in Libra in the years 1945 – 1946. This power duo of planets in the sign of love caused an explosion of couple's to hit the media and Hollywood erupted with images and iconic movie posters that all featured famous twosomes.

Neptune was in Libra from 1942 – 1957 so the trend pervaded longer though we could see that the peak was when Jupiter gave an extra boost 1945-46. Now we only have Jupiter in Libra alone (without Neptune), so here is a wrap up of where we were and what is to come:

As Jupiter was in Virgo last year, we all were finding more easy and effective ways to do our jobs and to manage media and social. Jupiter in Virgo asked us to perfect and make more efficient systems to what we already had in place. Checklist done.

On the business front, you will see themes like: 'together is better', partnerships and collaborative solutions, the idea of affiliates and business partnerships taking the place of the solopreneur, and the big one — less long hours at the office doing tedious, menial stuff, instead more building strong relations with colleagues. Also corporate meditation, corporate retreats and more team building practices will take the place of the extra work you've been doing.

In love, you will see an absolute return to romance and more people opting to build healthy relationships versus stay till midnight at the office. Jupiter in Libra will help you to nurture important relationships, and namely give more time to love and romance and Libra rules both. However, make sure not to idealize a situation too much and still keep your wits about when something feels off. Nonetheless, welcome in more love and joy into your life this year!

In fashion, Libra is a sign of absolute elegance and grace so it is not a surprise we are seeing a comeback to the originally baroque and brocade patters as ornate fabrics took the runways for fall. There is also a return to shades of pink and as well an embellished Asian influence.
