Finance and the deeper reaches of your perception and erotic life will be in focus, as the Sun rolls through Libra and sets the stage for major changes in this sector of your life. Oct 4 will see an outburst or an unexpected serve from someone close and money or values could well be the issue, as a Full Moon blazes in Aries and your solar second house. Let the excitement meter drop before you apply a remedy. A cold compress may help. Someone close will be considered, absent or absorbed on Oct 7 while Oct 9 will see you back in an old boat where lifestyle, romance, a child or creativity is concerned. Talk matters over with someone close or let them take control and all will finish well despite the excitement.
Secret or hidden thoughts will be powerful on Oct 10 as Mercury hits Libra, clashing with Pluto. You may have to curtail spending on a project or an interest, you will clash with a forceful or manipulative person or you will hit the hard edge of romantic change. From there, look for hidden meaning in what people say. Teachings or revelations will come, especially after Oct 13 when Jupiter moves direct. All the while someone close will guide or set directions. Oct 14 sees Venus in Libra, squaring Pluto. There'll be a rush of desire with love or money but consider two things É 'do you have the means?' and 'is this the right thing to do?' You'll wrangle or tangle with people over love or finance, seeking to make an end or fresh start. With Mars in Leo from Oct 16, males or new activity will feature in daily life. Polish up your act with work or health.
On Oct 18, use a New Moon in Libra to forge a new start with money or fiscal obligations, somehow separating from the past or past connections. Rely on inspiration on Oct 20, then look to the wide horizon on Oct 23 when the Sun hits Scorpio. Study, travel or legal matters will be in the frame and Mercury's move Scorpio on Oct 28 will add to the dish. New deals or strong lines of connection with friends or groups are in the wind. On Oct 30, Saturn's move to Libra will set a new foundation in financial life as new contacts or social links come to bear on your behalf. Have happy Halloween by making a trick or a treat over the cauldron of lust or finance.
Recapitulating
With Mercury in Virgo at the start, go over the old arrangements or past concerns in close relations, looking to forge a new agreement. Go once around the ring on Oct 4 then look for clear decisions on Oct 7. There'll be delay and an uneasy feeling, but Oct 10 sends the busy Messenger to Libra, determining what is and what is not possible, due to matters of finance or deepening connections. Roll on until Oct 28 when Mercury hits Scorpio, opening up the big wide world of study, travel or overseas links. Look forward through friends or groups.
Orderly Procedures
The social juice comes from close relations, with Venus in Virgo at the start. A twitch or two turns up on Oct 9, but there's a new way forward and a new bond will be forged on Oct 14 as the goddess swans into Libra. There is a cost to pay though, and one person's favour will close shut down goodwill elsewhere. You're in the world of high finance or deep erotic drives so remember that everything has consequences, not always easily seen. Be perceptive and don't trust people just because they appear to give or want something.
Going Forward
It's the traffic of lifestyle or romance with Mars in Cancer at the start. Males, children, family, food or creative ventures will be in the frame. There'll be something or someone you come back to on Oct 9 and someone close will have the means or line of guidance to get it all on track. Step forward in tandem and look to the cooperative effort. Oct 16 signals a big change, as Mars rolls in to Leo, setting new activities in motion where work or health is concerned. Males will feature but be careful of sharp edges, blunt objects or impatience.
