Autumn is a time of balance, when light and dark are equal. The sign of Libra also governs balance, along with matters of cooperation. Remember that every story has two sides. When you find yourself confronted with a controversial issue, or when you get into an argument with a friend, Libra energy can help. One thing you can do to tap into this energy at this time is make a talisman that will focus this power. Start by lighting two candles-one blue and one yellow. Hold a coin between them, spinning it in your fingers so light from each candle falls on it. Then say:

Planet of judgment,
Balance the scales;
Bring a compromise
That never fails.
Carry the coin when you need help seeing another's viewpoint.
