Libra, you aren’t one to abruptly end something, but logically you know when a chapter of life is over. Mercury conjunct the Sun in Virgo makes it possible for you to admit that a situation is no longer worth your time. What you’ve lugged around for too long becomes burdensome. You can’t keep holding on to the past when it keeps you from moving forward.

The situation served its purpose. Now it’s not an enemy or a friend; it’s just weight. You let the door close on its own. You don’t have to do anything to help it! The timing is perfect, and you’re glad to move on. When life works out on its own, you feel pretty good.
