House of Self: the month ahead
The Sun in Libra
The Sun spends most of the month in your 1st house of identity, so how you appear and how you begin things is where your attention and energy naturally collect.
Inner planets
Mercury in Scorpio (your 2nd house), Venus retrograde in Scorpio (your 2nd house) and Mars in Leo (your 11th 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 10th house (career). New Moon on Oct 10 in Libra, lighting your 1st house (identity). First Quarter on Oct 18 in Capricorn, lighting your 4th house (family). Full Moon on Oct 26 in Taurus, lighting your 8th house (shared resources).
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 11th house) expands friendships and community, while Saturn retrograde in Aries (your 7th house) asks for patience and structure in close partnerships.
Advice
Lean on what comes naturally to Libra: working gracefully, diplomatically and with an eye for balance. Keep an eye on indecision and people-pleasing, and make room for your self-presentation.
