Happy birthday, Libra! The focus is on you as we start out the month in your season. This is your cosmically approved time to be “selfish” and focus on your personal goals, desires, and needs! Once Scorpio season kicks off, your focus shifts to your finances and you may be more focused on setting financial goals or finding new streams of revenue. The month starts off on October 4 with Mercury, the planet of communication and news, moving into your sign. Important news is headed your way or perhaps you’re the one who’s ready to share some significant information with the world.
Expect some tension in your personal relationships on October 8 when Mars, in your sign, clashes with Pluto in Capricorn. Power struggles and taboo topics that cause tension in family or personal relationships may bubble up to the surface to be addressed. If you feel pressured to act or be a certain way to make other people feel comfortable, you may feel the urge to break free and just be yourself, even if it ruffles a few feathers. On the same day, Venus, the planet of love and harmony, enters Virgo, enhancing your intuition and your desire to connect with yourself. This can be a wonderful time for getting lost in your imagination and fantasy, but on the same hand, you may find yourself over-idealizing a person or situation. Mars, the planet of anger and action, finally leaves your sign on October 11 and moves into Scorpio. You may be making more purchases and or spending more time on a work project.
A New Moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 14 is your personal fresh start for a fated reset. We have not experienced a solar eclipse in your sign since 2004! This is a powerful time for both setting new personal intentions and releasing what no longer serves you. A new connection that feels karmic in some way could enter your life, and you may also feel your personal needs, goals, and desires shifting. A few days later on October 19, the Sun and Mercury, both in your sign, link up at the same spot in the sky. This can bring a significant moment of clarity regarding your personal path and goals. It’s also possible that important personal news arrives.

Unexpected support may show up on October 21 when Venus in Virgo connects with Jupiter in Taurus. Someone behind the scenes may be advocating on your behalf or they're eager to share a surprise gift with you. Tapping into your intuition and spiritual practices can also guide you toward the insight you’ve been seeking. On the same day, Mercury enters Scorpio, bringing your attention to your work and finances. New contracts or news about your current job may show up today or in the next few weeks.
The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23, and this Scorpio season adds even more emphasis to the sector of your birth chart involving your finances and values. This Scorpio season can bring recognition, a promotion, or a raise. You’re laser-focused on your finances, and you may be setting new financial goals or reworking your budget.
A Full Moon lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28 promises to transform your relationship with your resources, debt, and income. This brings us back to November 8 of last year—the last time we had a lunar eclipse in Taurus. Think back to what was unfolding around that time in your life. You may be paying off debt, signing an important contract, or experience a shift in your finances around this eclipse. This eclipse story started back in November 2021—in what ways has your financial world shifted since then?
You may be feeling decisive about making a purchase on October 29 when Mercury and Mars, both in Scorpio, meet at the same point in the sky. This could also signal a new work project or commitment to new financial goals. The month winds down on October 31 with some unexpected but welcome support when Venus in Virgo meets with Uranus in Taurus. You could receive a gift or find yourself embracing a new level of security. Today is all about abundance and a healthy money mindset.
