Libra Horoscope for October 2017

This is a vital month for you, Libra, one that emphasizes a favorite partnership theme. This is in the context of an ongoing spiritual revival from the previous month, when five planets lit up your sector of unconscious process and dream imagination. Your intuition is strong, and connects you with significant others, especially in the timing of the October 5th Full Moon in your opposite sign. The subsequent New Moon, two weeks later, makes for a dynamic final two weeks of October, when surprising and enlightening events transform the very fabric of your relationship dynamic. During all of October, you feel a sense of mission toward unseen realms that are yet very real to you, making their presence known in dreams and visions. It is important that you pay the closest possible attention to intimations from this hidden world within you, representing such a powerful factor in all that you say and do.

For the last year Libra, you have been blessed by the transit of Jupiter in your sign. Of course, not everything was smooth sailing, but the planet most often associated with expansion and luck has been sitting in your sign since September 2016. You have benefited from opportunities to broaden your mind, and perhaps this has helped you open to new possibilities. It could also mean that this last year has seen you imbued with greater courage to step outside of your comfort zone physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In some shape and form. This last year has given you new pathways to explore and the courage to say YES more often. Jupiter will leave your sign on October 10th for a year-long transit in the sign of Scorpio. This means that you have 10 more days to give thanks to the guru planet. Find a moment to reflect on the positive advancements and opportunities of the last year. Gratitude and a flexible mind are the blessings of Jupiter; think about where you have benefited from adopting a positive attitude and what opportunities arose from saying yes more often.

Partnership will be a big theme in October and the obligations and commitments made to others are highlighted. The Full Moon in Aries on October 5th accentuates the dichotomy of your needs versus the needs of other people in your life, which is so inherent to your sign. You could be in need of a more solid demonstration of love from a partner, or it could be that someone else requires this from you. Overall, the first week of October has a sobering effect and you will have to attend to the unpleasant details of a partnership while simultaneously craving ease and pleasure.

Venus, your ruling planet, moves into your sign on October 14th and this will help smooth out the hard edges. However, October remains a dynamic period for Libras. The New Moon in your sign on October 19 will be opposed to the revolutionary planet Uranus. A New Moon is the beginning of a new cycle; a time when seeds are planted. This particular New Moon in Libra is your personal reset button. This is an opportunity to break free from old habitual patterns, especially the ones connected to partnerships. Something could be pushing you to radically change your course of action or discard what is stale in your life. Whether this is coming from you, or pushed upon you, remains to be seen but there are a few things you can do to maximize the insights and minimize the surprises. Air out your assumptions about relationships and be honest about what belongs to you and what is not your problem. Accept and recognize what is no longer working in your life and find pro-active solutions to remediate your discontent. You benefit when you can cultivate a state of honesty with yourself and others. This ensures a solid foundation on which healthy relationships can flourish.
