The lovely Venus, which rules the sign of Libra, is currently moving through the sign of Scorpio in a grand trine with Mars in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. You are having a month with emotional as well as a purely rational logic going on, adding a layer of complexity to this cycle. Pluto is hovering on the cusp of your partnership sector, while Mars is forming a dynamic square aspect with the Libra eclipse degree. Things are slow and steady, with great commitment to internal dialogs you might be having, and with however the possibility for passion to arise and for transformation looming in regard to your most cherished relationships.

On October 10th, the Moon’s First Quarter transpires in Capricorn, and this could indicate a minor crisis of action with different aspects of your affairs in conflict and with the inspiration of a great deal of mental activity around beliefs and worldview and what ideas you ultimately favor. Clashes in ideologies or values could be emphasized as the month progresses.

On the 13th and the 14th, Mercury in Libra forms a square with Pluto in Capricorn before entering Scorpio on the 13th while the Sun in Libra forms a square with Mars in Cancer which could lead to more conflicting ideas and emotions that would need to be resolved.

New ideas are also part and parcel of this set of outer planet interactions, which can certainly help to the extent that you can stay open to them.

By the time the Full Moon in Aries culminates on the 17th, making a T-square to Mars in Cancer, in your sector of unconscious process, you could be forced to recognize that certain adjustments might have to be made in order to keep on with your main goal which is doing your utmost to reclaim your authenticity. It may be harder to compromise than you would like so that you will have to figure out where to compromise and where to sort out what makes for you an absolute bottom line.

The Sun enters Scorpio on the 22nd, bringing energy to your home and family situation, including your dwelling space.

On the 24th, the Last Quarter Moon takes place in your sign, contrasting your needs against the demands of your family or your responsibilities at home.

There are a lot of planets transiting in Water signs as the month comes to a close which for a Fire sign like you could feel overly emotional and sloppy. You might feel like a magnifying glass is emphasizing your most vulnerable parts but this moment may also allow you to be softer and more receptive than you usually like to be and that’s a positive thing for the people who love you.
