Your mind is moving a mile a minute, Leo! Libra season always puts the best ideas in your head and makes you more curious. You’re craving more connection, too. New, important conversations are in the beginning stages and you’re feeling hopeful about where they’ll head next. This can also be a fun time for travelling, reconnecting with your voice, or choosing to learn something new.
A New Moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 2 brings fated news your way. You could negotiate a new contract or partnership that feels destined. This is also a powerful time to speak your truth, even if your voice shakes in the process. Major developments are unfolding in your relationships with siblings, your besties, or extended family members.
You’re feeling grateful for the comfort your home brings you when Venus in Scorpio teams up with Mars in Cancer on October 8. You might feel extra appreciative of your roommates, your partner, or the loved ones in your life. Your intuition may inform the next step you want to take on a creative project or in a romantic partnership. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, goes retrograde in Gemini on October 9. All your plans come to a halt today. Don’t take this as a discouraging sign—instead, it’s an invitation to slow down and reassess your path before blazing forward without a plan. Conversations regarding your aspirations may be put on pause, too.
Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Scorpio on October 13 and you’re hearing from your chosen family. Maybe you learn news about a family member or your living situation. You’re also revisiting your past and feeling more nostalgic. In some instances, you can pick up kernels of wisdom from reflecting on your past and, in others, you’re finally ready to let go of memories that no longer serve you.
The Sun in Libra slams into Mars in Cancer on October 14 and words hurt! You could learn news that feels upsetting or simply feel overworked and exhausted. Don't be afraid to say "no." On the same day, Venus in Scorpio stares down Uranus in Taurus and some surprising events unfold in your personal life. Maybe you learn something shocking about a family member or hear from someone from your past. Interactions with others are erratic and unpredictable and you could experience oddities around your house—like your dishwasher breaking mid-cycle.
The Full Moon in Aries on October 17 invites you to speak your truth. News you learn and conversations you have today can shift your perspective. You can also gain recognition for your writing or speaking skills, or you may even decide to go back to school. On the same day, Venus, the planet of relationships, enters Sagittarius, and you’re feeling saucy! Others are drawn to you like a moth to a flame. This can be a fruitful time for dating, gaining attention for your talents, and any sort of self-expression. You might also pick up a hobby or two over the next few weeks. The Sun in Libra slams into Pluto in Capricorn on October 22 and you’re reflecting on your relationship with power and control. Maybe you’re discussing those dynamics in some of your close relationships or even having conversations that focus on taboo topics. Hidden information can come to light, and you may deal with a challenging situation.
The Sun enters Scorpio later in the day, putting more emphasis on your private life. The next few weeks are a lovely time to cosy up in bed, invite your friends over to your place, and order in your favourite meal. This Scorpio season, your relationships with your roommates and your chosen family are front and centre. This is also a fun time to do a deep clean or your space and reorganise your room. There’s some disappointment in the air when Venus in Sagittarius runs into Saturn in Pisces on October 28. You could feel rejected in a romantic relationship or just feel like someone you care for isn’t showing up for you the way you wish they were. You may funnel a lot of your energy into a creative project that you know will pay off in the future.
Conversations may leave your jaw on the floor when Mercury in Scorpio locks eyes with Uranus in Taurus on October 30. You could unearth an old memory or share part of your past you typically keep to yourself. This is a day for addressing family secrets! The month wraps up on a calmer note when Mercury in Scorpio mingles with Neptune in Pisces on October 31. Your intuition is off the charts and it can help guide you on your healing journey. You’re able to accept the parts of yourself you tend to reject or hide, and vulnerable conversations can feel healing and transformative. Enjoy your Halloween!
