You’re in a reflective mood as we move through Libra season, Pisces. You may feel called to make peace with the past, explore your own psyche, and reflect on your relationship with your hidden desires. Once Scorpio season kicks off, you’re feeling more optimistic and expansive—ready to take risks and share your gifts with the world. The planetary action starts off on October 4 when Mercury, the planet of the mind, moves into Libra. Important discussions regarding your finances, debt, or shared resources may be had. This could also signal the arrival of a new contract or negotiation. As an added bonus: Your intuition gets a little boost—pay attention to it!
Pings of envy or jealousy can pepper your day on October 8 when Mars in Libra clashes with Pluto in Capricorn. We are more likely to feel more impetuous and take action on our fears. Power struggles in friend groups can come up and it’s possible some dirty laundry is revealed. On the bright side, you may take a courageous leap toward some of your goals for the future. Luckily, on the same day, Venus, the planet of love and finances, moves into Virgo, bringing harmony and blessings to your important relationships. Singles may find someone with lasting potential and couples may be investing more time in their partnership or feel ready to take an exciting next step. In business and finance, this can bring more work, collaborations, or contracts your way.
Mars, the planet of action and drive, moves into Scorpio on October 11, reigniting your desire for adventure. The next few weeks you may feel more apt to take risks and push yourself outside of your comfort zone. You could find yourself doing more traveling or even signing up for classes and learning new things. Communication can also be more direct and even cutting at times—choose your words wisely!
