Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
The month ahead is one of personal power and a time for your yearly fresh start, dear Libra. A New Moon in your sign is just behind you, and you have the Sun and Venus in your sign until the 23rd. You're drawing positive attention and in the position to attend to personal plans and needs. Your voice is stronger from the 10-29, partly because you make more effort to be heard. October is also a notable month for making money and attracting the right resources to you.
Personal influence is strong for many astrological reasons, including that your ruler, Venus, is traveling close to the Sun in October, and often while both bodies are in your sign. There is a real demand for the qualities that you naturally project. You're discovering or rediscovering interests, hobbies, and areas of study. Mercury turning direct on the 2nd is helpful for a sense that things are moving forward, and so are Pluto on the 8th and Saturn on the 23rd. Blocks are lifting!
Mercury turns direct on the 2nd, making decisions more straightforward. Delays lift and information unclogs. Many recent misunderstandings will likely clear up in the days and weeks following this change of direction. While you'll see some recent problem areas untangle, Mercury won't return to your sign until the 10th, when even more clarity is likely to come, and you feel much more "in the know." You have a little more ruminating to do until then!
Venus in your sign to the 23rd helps soften your disposition and aids efforts to enjoy yourself, pursue your wishes, and "make nice" with people in your life. People notice you and want to be around you.
You're especially desirable with the Sun and Venus visiting your sign until the 23rd, calling attention to you and, often, your more appealing qualities. You could be holding part of yourself back until the 10th, when you find your voice. People gravitate to you despite this slight detachment. You're attracting people's attention and exploring how this makes you feel.
It can be a time for sharing and opening yourself up to others, especially after the 10th. Favored now are making a positive impact, friendships, education, and relationships with extended family. There can be a strong attraction to cultural events or activities that take you to new places or expand your mind.
Slow-moving Pluto turns direct on the 8th after many months of retrograde motion, and you can see some advances with finances and domestic matters. Relationships with family and family roles are changing, and your determination to resolve challenges is building.
Around the Full Moon on the 9th, relationships and unrealized feelings grab your full attention. There can be frustrations or heightened awareness about your relationship needs that require changes. Your true feelings emerge now, and they’re a little raw. This lunation reminds you that you need others to be the best you can be. Emotions are big and perhaps a little over the top--big enough to grab your attention and help redirect and balance you, ultimately. You can be excited about bringing something to a new level or breaking new ground. Revelations and epiphanies are likely.
More attention to personal possessions, money matters, natural talents, matters of security and comfort, and intimate relationships is likely from the 23rd forward. In fact, the last week of the month begins a power period for making and managing your money, talents, personal possessions, assets, and business.
With a Solar Eclipse in your money sector on the 25th, you're starting fresh with your finances, business affairs, and your relationship with your money and things. There can be important discoveries about your earning potential and attachments. If you have been holding on too tightly to a lifestyle or financial habits that haven’t served you well, a new beginning is in order. With the Solar Eclipse in a tight relationship with your ruler, this is also an intense time for your personal magnetism. It’s a brilliant time of new hope and beginnings related to money, talents, and resources.
With Jupiter moving back into your work and health sector on the 28th, you’ll be more joyfully attending to your daily affairs. While your job or routines can bring you rewards, watch for a tendency to want to do more and more to the point of being overbooked.
Still, Mars begins its retrograde on October 30th, and it's moving slowly all month, encouraging you to slow down. The entire retrograde cycle lasts until mid-January and occurs in your spirit sector. Possible areas of life that can experience delays or require review include legal, publishing, travel, and education matters. There may be some things that catch up with you at this time that prompt a need to review, return to a previous condition, or tie up loose ends.
As you grow accustomed to this energy, you'll realize that reviewing, renewing, and recycling can be the most rewarding activities - look to projects you've already started in the past with renewed interest and motivation, for example. Your outlook and lust for life are evolving. Consider areas of your life that you may have charged past (or through) that could use revamping or extra attention. You may find some gems in the process.

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:
October 2022 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From October 23rd forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income.
A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 22nd:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
From October 23rd forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 10th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
From October 10-29:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
From October 29th forward:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of close partnering and negotiations because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Enthusiasm for a partnership or coming from a partner could be waning or not as clear. A partner could seem to be less direct or hard to reach. Partnering projects or initiatives, or negotiations, could stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in a one-to-one manner. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness in your partnerships, and learn from experiences with these things.
Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
October 2022 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar first house, suggesting a new approach to your personal life, the manner in which you come across to others, and the way you assert yourself. A focus on ways to improve or enhance your appearance and mannerisms may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to how you assert your needs and express yourself to others.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your own needs. It's a very powerful time for you--a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself.
This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others.
However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until October 7th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From October 7-31:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 17th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:
October 2022 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 13th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From October 13th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar first house, suggesting a new approach to your personal life, the manner in which you come across to others, and the way you assert yourself. A focus on ways to improve or enhance your appearance and mannerisms may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to how you assert your needs and express yourself to others.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your own needs. It's a very powerful time for you--a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself.
This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others.
However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 15th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From October 15th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 23rd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
From October 23rd forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of close partnering and negotiations because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Enthusiasm for a partnership or coming from a partner could be waning or not as clear. A partner could seem to be less direct or hard to reach. Partnering projects or initiatives, or negotiations, could stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in a one-to-one manner. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness in your partnerships, and learn from experiences with these things.
Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
The month ahead is one of personal power and a time for your yearly fresh start, dear Libra. A New Moon in your sign is just behind you, and you have the Sun and Venus in your sign until the 23rd. You're drawing positive attention and in the position to attend to personal plans and needs. Your voice is stronger from the 10-29, partly because you make more effort to be heard. October is also a notable month for making money and attracting the right resources to you.
Personal influence is strong for many astrological reasons, including that your ruler, Venus, is traveling close to the Sun in October, and often while both bodies are in your sign. There is a real demand for the qualities that you naturally project. You're discovering or rediscovering interests, hobbies, and areas of study. Mercury turning direct on the 2nd is helpful for a sense that things are moving forward, and so are Pluto on the 8th and Saturn on the 23rd. Blocks are lifting!
Mercury turns direct on the 2nd, making decisions more straightforward. Delays lift and information unclogs. Many recent misunderstandings will likely clear up in the days and weeks following this change of direction. While you'll see some recent problem areas untangle, Mercury won't return to your sign until the 10th, when even more clarity is likely to come, and you feel much more "in the know." You have a little more ruminating to do until then!
Venus in your sign to the 23rd helps soften your disposition and aids efforts to enjoy yourself, pursue your wishes, and "make nice" with people in your life. People notice you and want to be around you.
You're especially desirable with the Sun and Venus visiting your sign until the 23rd, calling attention to you and, often, your more appealing qualities. You could be holding part of yourself back until the 10th, when you find your voice. People gravitate to you despite this slight detachment. You're attracting people's attention and exploring how this makes you feel.
It can be a time for sharing and opening yourself up to others, especially after the 10th. Favored now are making a positive impact, friendships, education, and relationships with extended family. There can be a strong attraction to cultural events or activities that take you to new places or expand your mind.
Slow-moving Pluto turns direct on the 8th after many months of retrograde motion, and you can see some advances with finances and domestic matters. Relationships with family and family roles are changing, and your determination to resolve challenges is building.
Around the Full Moon on the 9th, relationships and unrealized feelings grab your full attention. There can be frustrations or heightened awareness about your relationship needs that require changes. Your true feelings emerge now, and they’re a little raw. This lunation reminds you that you need others to be the best you can be. Emotions are big and perhaps a little over the top--big enough to grab your attention and help redirect and balance you, ultimately. You can be excited about bringing something to a new level or breaking new ground. Revelations and epiphanies are likely.
More attention to personal possessions, money matters, natural talents, matters of security and comfort, and intimate relationships is likely from the 23rd forward. In fact, the last week of the month begins a power period for making and managing your money, talents, personal possessions, assets, and business.
With a Solar Eclipse in your money sector on the 25th, you're starting fresh with your finances, business affairs, and your relationship with your money and things. There can be important discoveries about your earning potential and attachments. If you have been holding on too tightly to a lifestyle or financial habits that haven’t served you well, a new beginning is in order. With the Solar Eclipse in a tight relationship with your ruler, this is also an intense time for your personal magnetism. It’s a brilliant time of new hope and beginnings related to money, talents, and resources.
With Jupiter moving back into your work and health sector on the 28th, you’ll be more joyfully attending to your daily affairs. While your job or routines can bring you rewards, watch for a tendency to want to do more and more to the point of being overbooked.
Still, Mars begins its retrograde on October 30th, and it's moving slowly all month, encouraging you to slow down. The entire retrograde cycle lasts until mid-January and occurs in your spirit sector. Possible areas of life that can experience delays or require review include legal, publishing, travel, and education matters. There may be some things that catch up with you at this time that prompt a need to review, return to a previous condition, or tie up loose ends.
As you grow accustomed to this energy, you'll realize that reviewing, renewing, and recycling can be the most rewarding activities - look to projects you've already started in the past with renewed interest and motivation, for example. Your outlook and lust for life are evolving. Consider areas of your life that you may have charged past (or through) that could use revamping or extra attention. You may find some gems in the process.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
