Happy October, everyone! Not only is fall upon us, but eclipse season is too. So while the leaves are quickly turning from vibrant greens to reds and oranges, our lives are also about to undergo some rapid developments and changes. If you want to get in the right mindset for fall and all its cosmic shifts, keep reading and keep listening.
Libra
Happy birthday, Libra! While everyone is getting excited over the fall festivities, a sign ruled by Venus like yourself could never be overshadowed. As October unfolds, Venus will be transitioning into Virgo in your 12th house of all things metaphysical: dreams, secrets, and deep emotions. With whispers of summer keeping you in your warm-weather energy, it’s no surprise that this planetary shift may leave you feeling nostalgic for past memories. On the 11th, though, Pluto moves directly into your 4th house of emotional roots and family. The dwarf planet's powerful presence here will offer you a sense of clarity and liberation, revealing to you what you need to release from your past. The highlight of this month for you comes with the New Moon in Libra on the 15th, promising a fresh start that will continue to culminate into spring 2024. This is a golden opportunity to seize greater control over your life's direction and embrace positive changes. Embrace these shifts, Libra, as they pave the way for a vibrant and transformative month ahead.
