House of Communication: the month ahead
The Sun in Libra
The Sun spends most of the month in your 3rd house of siblings, so the daily exchange of words and ideas is where your attention and energy naturally collect.
Inner planets
Mercury in Scorpio (your 4th house), Venus retrograde in Scorpio (your 4th house) and Mars in Leo (your 1st house) set the tone: your thinking and talk, your affections and values and your drive and desire each work through different parts of your life. Venus is retrograde, so review before you commit.
Moon phases
Last Quarter on Oct 3 in Cancer, lighting your 12th house (solitude). New Moon on Oct 10 in Libra, lighting your 3rd house (siblings). First Quarter on Oct 18 in Capricorn, lighting your 6th house (work routines). Full Moon on Oct 26 in Taurus, lighting your 10th house (career).
Sky events
Sun enters Scorpio on Oct 23. Venus enters Libra on Oct 25. Venus stations retrograde on Oct 3. Pluto stations direct on Oct 16. Mercury stations retrograde on Oct 24.
The long view
Jupiter in Leo (your 1st house) expands your self-presentation, while Saturn retrograde in Aries (your 9th house) asks for patience and structure in travel, study and beliefs.
Advice
Lean on what comes naturally to Leo: working warmly, dramatically and with flair. Keep an eye on pride and a need for applause, and make room for your conversations and errands.
