Virgo Horoscope for October 2019

This is an important time, Virgo. You are proceeding with your evolutionary progress and forging new modes of worldview and bottom-line values. At least matters are not in any way boring or static! Your creativity is going through a sea change, while your relationship dynamic is also. As you attempt to reconcile over-idealization of partners with a practical emphasis on your own growth and development, you continue to recognize the power of articulating and acting upon your deepest truth. There has been confusion in the way that you relate to important others, along with fears of losing yourself in this attachment. The remedy is to stay as realistic as you can, even as you explore new horizons in thought and belief. You are hesitant and yet you know that you must forge ahead with everything that you are up to at the core, and this includes greater intimacy with significant partners in your life, and also with greater self-knowledge, at depth, as a balance point to all this reaching out.

The month begins just as after the New Moon in Libra recently fell in your second house of income and expenditures, values and possessions (from September 28th). With a series of transits also set to come through in your second house this month, the topics of money, resources, personal values, and material possessions are front and center. Because stimulating and changeable Uranus, located in Taurus, in your ninth house of higher mind, was highlighted in this recent New Moon, this month will also feature unusual developments in that area, with unexpected shifts in perspective as the month goes on. You are fortunate this month as well with your home and family life being able to contribute in a positive way to alterations in your worldview.

On October 3rd, you may notice the energy dialing up as Mars enters Libra and moves into your second house, just as your ruling planet, Mercury, enters the third house of your mind while moving into Scorpio, one of the traditional signs of Mars. You may be analyzing, strategizing, or thinking up new plans to make or manage money, or you might be spending or investing your money into a new resource, or perhaps even a new form of technology. Or you may also find that you are worrying over or even obsessing about something material, in which case you should be careful not to stress yourself out too much in the process. Trust that things will take care of themselves smoothly.

From October 5th to October 7th, just as the Sun in Libra in your second house of finances squares Saturn, god of limitation and discipline, Mercury in your third house will also oppose Uranus in the ninth house of the higher mind. While you may be facing some degree of constraint, or you might be learning to live within a new structure or set of rules or expectations, the potential for new insights, ideas, and learning opportunities is also presenting itself. At the same time, you should be careful of rebellious thoughts or impulses that tempt you to find an easy solution for something that requires a more long-term plan.

Between October 11th and 13th, Venus in Scorpio will follow in Mercury’s footsteps and oppose Uranus in Taurus in the ninth house. At the exact same time, the Full Moon in Aries on October 13th will land in your eighth house of intimacy, or death and rebirth. Both transits point to the need for a reboot in your relationships, as well as the need to individuate and clarify your beliefs and values. However, here again you should be careful that you don’t allow fear or aggression to tempt you into quick fixes to problems that require a more holistic approach.

On the 13th, the Full Moon in Aries in your eighth house, along with the Sun in Libra in your second house of money and values, will both square Pluto in Capricorn in your fifth house of joy, creativity, and children, prompting a powerful moment of transformation related to your relationship to pleasure, love, romance, and creativity, highlighting a Pluto presence that has been active all year, and that will continue well into 2020. If you have been spending your time or energy frivolously or in unhealthy ways, this will be a great moment for a reality check. If you have been holding yourself back, being overly rigid or conservative, then you may also find that you are being asked to pursue joy and happiness with less fear or fewer inhibitions. This particular Full Moon also affects your relationships, as well as the topics of money, values, income, and expenditures.

Between October 26th and 28th, the Sun in Scorpio will then oppose Uranus in Taurus in the 9th house of the higher mind, just as the New Moon in Scorpio, opposing Uranus in Taurus, also lights up your third house of the mind and communication. With so much energy focused on your third and ninth houses now, and through most of November, it’s safe to say that the topics of learning, faith, beliefs, and the need for mental and emotional transformation and healing is at work in a major way in your life. To access the deeper and more authentic experiences that you are looking for right now, it’s also important that you find ways of opening yourself up to others, perhaps sharing a deeper and more vulnerable level of your thoughts and feelings along the way.
