Heyyy y’all, happy October! Everyone been enjoying this Libra season?? The Sun entering Libra and the upcoming Venus retrograde means it’s time for all those “re-’s”— realignments, reassessments, redefinings, reconsiderations, and so on. For those of y’all who don’t remember, this year’s Mercury retrograde was pretty intense, and this retrograde is gonna follow suit… But the good news is Venus is the planet of everyone’s favorite astrological topics: money and loveeee! So happy birthday to all our Libras and share a lil of that Libra-style harmony with the rest of us!!

Libra- You’re not only getting the Sun, but also a new moon on October 10th— totally main character! Venus is also your ruling planet, so retrograde might be especially intense for you, bringing some old insecurities up. So don’t just keep the peace this month, Libra; this is your chance to make those changes you might be due for!

Scorpio- With Mercury entering Scorpio on the 30th, your style of communication might suddenly get heavier! This isn’t a bad thing at all, maybe just a chance for some alone time. Get a fresh haircut, try on some new clothes, anything that gets you prepped for your solar return next month!

Sagittarius- Things are looking lively, Sag! Try your best to balance your fifth house (young and lit) and your twelfth house (deep and spiritual) while they’re both active this month! Overbooking might seem tempting beforehand, but this retrograde is gonna be demanding, so fit in some self-care too!

Capricorn- Don’t be intimidated by the retrograde and square transit! Typically, this would be a time where you’d feel unsure, but right now, you have even bigger opportunities for success in career, projects, and personal relationships. So don’t waver: strike while the iron’s hot, and it’ll be sure to pay off!

Aquarius- If you’ve felt like something big might be on its way, trust that intuition! It’s a season of change for you, with good Air-type energy from the Libra new moon to resonate with. Take this time to explore new options in career and partnership and remember that all changes begin with new perspectives!

Pisces- This season will be all about relationships for you, Pisces! Is there anything hanging over your head with loved ones? Hard conversations might feel extra hard, thanks to Mercury’s influence in October, but the results, whether it’s a renewed, healthier dynamic, or reassessing who really needs to be a part of your private life, will be worth it!

Aries- This month, stay clear of fights you don’t need! That’s not to say you shouldn’t stand up for yourself, but just to really prioritize your own inner harmony. Old wounds, past lovers, and even burgeoning love connections could all be coming your way soon, and you’ll need all the emotional stability you got for that! So in the meantime, look inward and try to take any incoming advice to heart.

Taurus- Sorry, Taurus, this one could be rough! Venus is your ruling planet, so the retrograde will be especially intense for you. Past decisions from your financial and personal life might come back to mind, and ask you to rethink. So choose wisely and put your energy where it’ll be most appreciated

Gemini- Air-type resonance with Libra means you’re ready to go out, Gemini! Try to spend time with friends, and maybe even lovers, this month. Also, keep an eye out for the Libra new moon on the 10th— surround yourself with people you love, and you could watch yourself come out of it feeling totally renewed!

Cancer- This month is a big one for work and career, but don’t get lost in your work! It might feel like you have upcoming decisions and responsibilities looming over you, but remember!– you’ll never get ahead without a secure home. Recentering yourself, reconnecting with your personal pursuits, and embracing changes may prepare you better for opportunity than cramming and stressing ever could.

Leo- Time to get fired up, Leo! Mars, the planet of energy and drive is gonna be in your sign all month, so try to take advantage! It’s the perfect time to meet with old friends and/or new loves, especially once retrograde begins on the 3rd. But if you’d prefer to direct that energy towards something more inward, it’s also a perfect time to take care of your home. Prioritize family and daily ritual to reinvigorate what you might be taking for granted!

Virgo- Look alive, Virgo, cause money might be coming your way! The full moon will be activating your 8th house, which represents resources, especially those we share with others. However, try to use tact if you need to have a discussion, because the 8th house can also intensify our moments of intimacy. But remember, abundance both spiritual and physical can only be gained with the help of your loved ones :)
