This is a month dizzy with possibilities, Leo. You have issues of philosophical enquiry, and also the practical application of these more ethereal matters in concrete terms, in a time of striving for greater understanding concerning all aspects of your life, including what is subtle and hidden. This affects you in areas of higher mind, your key relationships, and your commitment to your deeper values. Money concerns will likely arise and might come to be dealt with by unusual means. There is a way that you are filled with a cosmic awareness these days, and you win when you pay close attention. You are beginning to recognize the limitations of logical thought process, and have a huge intuitional component now available to add to this more obvious and traditional method of comprehension. You must only allow yourself to stay open to the messages that you receive from deep inside you.

The Full Moon on October 5th illuminates the part of your chart that has to do with long distance travel, voyages and journeys that take us to unfamiliar territory. Your ruler, the Sun, is slowly losing its light here in the Northern Hemisphere and you might be craving more heat. You could find yourself longing for something far, something just outside of your reach, and not easily accessible. Your intuition is strong and unpredictable. It could also be that you are in the midst of planning a trip, or reaching some sort of culmination in regards to an educational process. Whatever is going on in your life, this Full Moon shines her light on the road ahead. Long-term goals will be on your mind, and you can start to clearly envision how to proceed. You could be feeling bold and impulsive and crave an immediate escape from your surroundings, although careful deliberation could show you otherwise.

Much of your October will be spent tying up loose ends. This could mean lots of phone calls, writing emails, and sorting out your finances. There are many opportunities available to you at this time, and it is more a matter of keeping your focus on the task at hand than launching bold new impulsive plans. You could be tempted to skip the tedious process of planning and budgeting, but your efforts to do so will pay off. You are starting to see the external results of a long and arduous creative process, which is opening new doors for you. Until mid-October, Venus and Mars in Virgo in the financial sector of your chart is your key to the proper management of your assets. It could also speak to possible moneymaking opportunities being presented to you through your various connections. Do not turn down social engagements or partnerships that could be lucrative. The New Moon in Libra on October 19th will come to reaffirm those possible partnerships and your desire to team up on an upcoming venture. You will need patience for the inherent volatility contained within these partnerships, but if you stay flexible you should be able to get what you want.

The last week of October signals the beginning of a new developmental stage for you in regards to your sense of authority. Next year will bring many opportunities to more actively step into a leadership role. With all great power comes great responsibilities, and you will need to carefully reflect on what authority and influence means to you. The visibility that comes from being a leader also means you are more exposed; the good bits as well as the darker parts of yourself. Here are some questions to begin your quest into the high grounds: Where do you fetch your powers' Are they coming from a contaminated well, or a crystalline spring' If there is any residual gunk at the core of your being inherited from past family dynamic or childhood, this next year will challenge you to meet them.
