Aquarius, you’re in an adventurous mood as we move through Libra season. You’re eager to try new things and soak up all the experiences that life has to offer. You may also be sharing your ideas and talents with the world. Once Scorpio season hits, all eyes are on you—which can spell a promotion or making progress on a personal milestone. But first, the cosmic energy of the month kicks off on October 4 when Mercury enters Libra. You’re communicating with tact and diplomacy. Collaborative opportunities may arrive, and ongoing conversations pick up speed. This is also an exciting time to plan a trip or start studying something new.
Enjoy the harmonious conversations while they last because words can go sour quickly on October 8 when Mars in Libra clashes with Pluto in Capricorn. Words are weapons today, so wield them carefully. It’s easy to overthink and let your fears get the best of you. Try not to overdo it today—this can lead to exhaustion. Fortunately, Venus, the planet of love and finances, enters Virgo on the same day. Connections have the potential to deepen through authentic vulnerable connection. You may be sharing more of your feelings and past with someone significant in your life. This is also an aligned time to make progress on debt, or perhaps some sort of financial support arrives.
On October 11, Mars, the planet of action and frustration, enters Scorpio, adding an extra emphasis to the career sector of your birth chart. Work may be busier than ever, or perhaps you’ve taken on a new role or additional responsibilities and feel like you need to prove yourself. You may also be pouring a lot of your effort toward a personal goal or milestone. Mars is a planet of anger, and it's possible for ego clashes and tension to pop up in your workplace or with important people in your life.
