After
the struggle that was September, the small bumps in October's road will
feel like practically nothing. Go ahead and exhale, for you can expect
much smoother sailing throughout the coming month!
The
celestial show begins on October 3, when Venus floats into Virgo. This
altruistic match will encourage you to lend a helping hand; in fact, you
won't feel completely fulfilled until you've dedicated time to someone
in need.
Then,
on October 5, Saturn swoops in with the month's biggest astrological
news: This somber planet is about to move out of Libra to take up
residence in dark, secretive Scorpio! Saturn has no time for frivolity
or excess, so it will force you to cut anything unnecessary out of your
life. And since Scorpio rules sexuality, intimate relationships, joint
finances, and personal transformation, those are the exact areas where
Saturn will turn its focus. This won't be the easiest of transits ...
but after everything you went through last month, you'll be able to take
whatever Saturn and Scorpio dish out with unwavering resolve.
Fortunately,
October 7 sees Mars catapult into Sagittarius, adding further fuel to
this Fire sign's outspokenness and indicating that it's time to stop
talking and start doing! The very next day, Mars aligns itself with
Neptune, making for an extra-glamorous October 8!
Things
then slow down for a few days before October 15 comes along with a huge
burst of energy in the form of three significant cosmic events! On this
date, the Libra Sun partners with Jupiter to bring a fortuitous boost
of morale. Meanwhile, the new Moon in Libra gives you an opportunity to
start afresh with close relationships -- indeed, it's time to let
bygones be bygones and move ahead. Finally, Mars and Uranus inspire
grand ideas as they come together in a trine.
A
roadblock of sorts will appear in the second half of the month as the
Sun moves into Scorpio on October 23. In and of itself, this transit
simply represents a change of focus. In this case, however, the Sun is
activating the very same traits Saturn is trying to reign in. Adding to
this tension, the Sun will butt heads with Saturn on October 25, leaving
you feeling a bit downbeat and intensely secretive.
Thankfully,
the month will go out on a high note as Mars swings opposite Jupiter on
October 28. You'll enjoy an overabundance of confidence, allowing you
to finally throw caution to the wind and bring one of your crazy dreams
to life!
