In the Stars for October

The fall season continues to show us the change in season with an array of brilliant colours that nature produces this month as the Sun moves through the air sign Libra. Themes abound such as justice, equality, sharing opinions, communications are increased, and people are more likely to be social and engaged in groups focused on teamwork. While the Sun is in Libra we have a sense of harmony and balance perhaps demonstrating more ease with sharing. It is a positive time to get things done, take action, and follow your instincts towards generating more ideas, romance, and social networks.

Sun in Libra natives are highly intelligent, strong with communications, and they have a strong sense of aesthetics.  They can be gifted artists, engineers, mediators, diplomats and businesses managers that involve partnerships.  They are playful, fair and just.  Libra being an air sign seeks to work in partnership with others. Their sign is ruled by Venus, so they love to please others, find beauty and harmony wherever they go. They prefer to debate rather than just quarrelling. Sharing ideas and manifesting the art of persuasion is their forte. Happy Birthday Libra, Saturn squares your Sun this year and that aspect will challenge you to move forward despite your fears you may need to be committed and dedicated to removing obstacles yet Saturn always strengthens us.

A time to delve deeply into subconscious patterns around relationships, values, money, secrets and yet a lot can be renewed and cleansed during this time.  Scorpio is about the transformation of the deepest primal forces within us. While Venus moves through this sign, expect to form deeper intimate connections with loved ones. Venus opposes Uranus retrograde in Taurus could bring up unusual, out of the blue information around money, securities and current values. Mars and Uranus in a square aspect to each other will continue to exert tensions around the concepts of unique and authentic expressions and breakthroughs of progressive ideas.

2^nd week-10/8-14^th, The New Moon boosts up the energy in the air sign Libra, this Sun/Moon conjunction is an awakening point in this month’s cycle. Libra loves to be the hostess, so going out and sharing ideas are good on this day. Tues 10/9 Mercury will shift into the water sign Scorpio where it operates more on instincts and not always very clear and will join up with Venus also in Scorpio and both plants oppose Uranus on Wed. There can be a lot of unusual energy in the air, with regards to actions, communications and tensions as Venus squares Mars in Aquarius we have some fixed attitudes which are revealed;  mid-week can be a time full of tensions. Yet some people thrive on challenge and intensity. On Friday, 10/12 the Sun squares Pluto moving direct motion in Capricorn, the forces of power, renewal, challenges with the Justice system continues to cause intrigues.  Be aware of those who use ruthless tactics, subterfuge, and coercion to get their way.
