Atlanta-based astrologer Donna Page has a graduate degree in counseling psychology with thoughts and predictions about the upcoming month and its main zodiac sign.
“Libra is about finding balance and harmony in life. And through the first three weeks of October, we’ll see where there isn’t balance, where there isn’t harmony, and try to fix it,” she said.
There are many astrological happenings this month—notably, Jupiter (the planet of expansion) turns retrograde, starting Oct. 9th. Astrologically, this prompts all of the signs to reflect on their personal growth and big-picture goals.
Then, there is a full moon in fiery Aries on the 17th, bringing the heat to communication. According to Page, if you’ve been holding back from sharing something that’s bothering you or asking for a raise at work, the energy of this time encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and go for it. Then, the sun moves into the intuitive water sign of Scorpio, just in time for Halloween and the spooky season to be in full swing.
Aries (March 21 – April 19):
This month kicks off with a bang, with the Oct. 2nd solar eclipse giving you a chance to rethink your relationships, both professional and personal. Money is also on your mind this month, so if you’ve been meaning to negotiate a raise or increase your rate, now is the time. By the time your full moon hits, you’ll be glowing, realizing it’s time to put you first.
Your focus may be on your routine and how efficiently it’s worked for you. At the same time, you might have an influx of work coming in unexpectedly. It’s important to manage your time so that you can accept work that really inspires you and not feel overwhelmed with juggling too many things at once.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20):
Put in the work, stay organized, and even over-deliver (when appropriate). You’ll get that recognition you’ve been craving. Then, the Aries full moon will remind you to recharge and take care of yourself. Perhaps book a spa day, weekend away, or just spend a good day rotting on the couch in your comfiest pajamas.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21):
The Aries full moon will further light up your social life, so grab your crew and make plans. Upon Scorpio season on the 22nd, it’s time to get a little more serious about work, but don’t forget to enjoy the ride! If there are any home improvements that you’ve been sitting on that you know you need to do, today is the perfect day to get to it.
Making these adjustments will have a positive effect on you emotionally, helping you feel more grounded and centered. Home is a sanctuary from the outside world, so the more you invest in it, the more it will be your safe escape.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22):
The Libra solar eclipse on the 2nd is hitting your house and family, so get ready to clean the house—you toss the clutter and refine your space to feel more like you. There is a crucial connection between where you lay your head and your mental state, so make sure your living area is as functional as possible to make things flow easier.
Once you clear physical space, you’ll likely be able to process any big emotions in your mind that you haven’t had the room or time to work through. As Scorpio season kicks in, things will start to smooth out, giving you space to relax and enjoy well-deserved time with the people you love. This energy can make you go after what you want and desire without hesitancy, particularly regarding how you communicate. Be direct and you’ll quickly see how the world responds to you.
Leo (July 23 – August 22):
Are you open to making money in new ways? You may have some eureka moments about how to use your natural talents to boost your bank accounts. Alternatively, others might reach out to you to see if you want to showcase your natural talents within their projects. New connections may help you with work. When Scorpio season arrives, you’ll be ready to get cozy inside and enjoy all the fall vibes.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22):
October is all about your money moves. The Libra solar eclipse on the 2nd lands in your financial house, making this the perfect time to assess if you’re being paid what you’re worth. Whether you’re an entrepreneur ready to sign your next big account or working the 9-6 life and need to ask for a raise, October will embolden you to take steps toward your financial future. Once you secure the bag, make sure you celebrate.
By the time Scorpio season rolls in, the intense water sign energy will help you confidently speak your truth. A mini personal reinvention is in the mix, which helps you switch up your approach to life and open up new possibilities. Get rid of the boring or uninspiring things in your life so you can make more space to experience things that uplift you and bring your life into technicolor.
Libra (September 23 – October 22):
Happy birthday, Libra! It’s your time to shine, so focus on yourself, set some goals, and let that main character energy shine through. You are the writer of your own story, and can drastically change your life for the better, simply by redirecting yourself. The Aries full moon will bring a spotlight to your partnerships.
Then, Scorpio season begins, shifting the focus to finances—make sure you’re getting what you deserve, both at work and in relationships. This is the time to speak up. Your dreams are quite revealing and give you some creative ideas that you may want to make into a tangible reality. However, you must keep distractions to a minimum, as you may be more vulnerable to external things that may vie for your attention.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):
The Libra solar eclipse on the 2nd is giving you all the “retreat and recharge” vibes. This month is about stepping back and letting go of anything that’s draining your energy. The Aries full moon hits your daily grind, so by mid-month, make sure you’re finding a balance between work, play, and wellness. Take time for all your priorities!
When the Sun enters your sign, it’s your time to shine. You can expect a burst of energy, and with romantic Venus in your sign, too, everyone seems to be looking your way. You might be reviewing how your values align with your long-term goals. In essence, you’ll take a deeper look into whether your principles, beliefs, and priorities that are important to you (your values) are consistent with the objectives and aspirations you have set for your future (your long-term goals).
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21):
The Libra solar eclipse on the 2nd lights up your house of friendships, so expect to be out and about, making connections everywhere you go. A new friend could be on the horizon. Then, the Aries full moon reminds you to have fun. By the time the Scorpio season kicks off, things will get a little deeper, encouraging you to reflect and recharge before you hit the holiday season and your own solar return. Just because no one has initiated a project that you’ve had in mind doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t go ahead and suggest it. Something in you may want to switch up your career so that it aligns more with your authenticity.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19):
The Libra solar eclipse on the 2nd lands in your career house; if you’re aiming for a promotion or recognition at work, it’s time to speak up. You have the facts and figures; the last step is to go for what you want. When the full moon in Aries arrives, it encourages you to balance work and play before you get burnt out, so schedule and organize.
Whatever you’ve been creatively thinking about implementing, this is an opportunity to lay down the groundwork. If it’s been a while since you’ve played outside of the conventional lines, do things in small steps to warm yourself up to initiate plans that are more unusual for your average routine.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18):
The Oct. 2nd Libra solar eclipse is here to shake up your world and push you toward new adventures. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself on a plane to a new destination before October is over: It’s time to explore and tap into your true potential. If you’ve been drowning in work for most of the year, this current astrological energy encourages you to indulge your wild streak and have some fun.
The Aries full moon is in your communication zone, so be ready for a flurry of emails, texts, and maybe even some unexpected invites, all adding to the month’s social and fun vibes. Then, when Scorpio season arrives, you’ll need to focus on balancing work with all that socializing. You might have some deeper inner thoughts that may come up underneath the surface, so if you’ve been keeping yourself busy, these thoughts may slow you down to have more reflective time for yourself. In fact, you may understand new things about yourself that you hadn’t realized before.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20):
The Libra solar eclipse on the second lights up your house of intimacy and shared resources, so you’re diving (emotionally) deep this month. Take out your journal, throw on the music that helps you tap into your feelings, and unravel whatever is going on for you. While this might feel layered and difficult to figure out, the first step is being honest with yourself about how you feel. Let your gut instincts guide you through this complex time. The Aries full moon highlights your finances, urging you to take charge of any money matters.
Once Scorpio season starts this month, your intuition will be sharper than ever, helping you navigate all of this, from your complicated emotions to your finances and budget to your love life. This energy can help rebalance how you tend to your own needs and perhaps you may even be more direct and assertive about what you need within relationship dynamics.
