Numbers represent lots of things in our lives, the numerology for October is 10, 1+0= 1. In Tarot this coincides with the the Wheel of Fortune card and it shows us changes, opportunities and development; it asks us to watch our words. To move in harmony and embrace Libra’s 'no delay' policy. Libra, after all is the planet of movement, it requires us to get in the zone and undertake what’s growing, flowing and flowering!
October is a harmonious month where all planets are moving forward, in turn we can move ahead with our goals and desires. October has a lot of Scorpionic energy, even though we are in Air season. Everyone will be ‘in their feelings’ this month, you won’t be able to just reach out and expect time, validation and patience. That’s ok, just do you - don’t get frustrated by it. It all comes and goes in waves. This next phase of this life as we etch closer to 2020, is all about humanity, the promise of personal responsibility and stepping up our kindness to one another. Can you adhere to it? The way you handle this, sets the tone for the future. Stand firm and be decisive, even when Libra calls you to act otherwise, you have the strength to make all battles short lived. Let things be and remain kind, compassionate and dignified, that way; you’re working for yourself and the greater good.
May your cup runneth over..
With love,
Srna
Aries: March 21 - April 19
Your actions are getting triggered by other people, Aries. A change in personal business relationships is shaping up and you are now traversing new paths, collaborate where you can and initiate. The Sun & Mars (two power planets) sit in your 7th house, therefore fuel comes from being near others. To be honest, this month is all about your attitude toward others. How do you approach them? How do you pursue new friends, lovers and authority figures. Mars is the planet of improvement, so you can bet you’re being stretched to do better. Strong opinions can make you weary, don’t be reactive ! This fire can be used creatively, usefully - so work on that as this month requires a common sense to all the fine details of the big picture. You are busy with business; exchanging ideas and reaching the public; as always you can feel tense but new emotional feelings eventually open up a new way of thinking. Confrontations happen when you assert your authority in a negative way, let the star planets work for you and just sit tight. Be more patient in your actions and relax a little. Mercury and Venus sit in your 8th house, whatever these two planets touch they make sweeter, easier. The 8th house rules intimacy, profound bonds and trust. You can feel a pleasant sensation in personal relationships, especially when you share secrets and dive deep into one another. Complete all errands by the end of the month before we turn Mercury retrograde on the 31st.
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
You must fix your own problems, Taurus. Jupiter wants to change your life for the better yet you seem not to let it. October and November can still be finicky and tough, truly you won’t feel a reprieve until December this year. Hold onto your hats, it is coming, it’s just taking it’s sweet time to show you why this is all had to transpired, the big picture. Venus in the 7th house will bring new relationships or friends who intrigue, however, it will also bring to existing partnerships issues to light and serious concerns over erratic behaviour. Perhaps, you’ve been too nice, too much. Especially productive in work and that’s because you have the Sun & Mars in 6th house - requires action, mobilisation. You’re more willing to confront without fear the problems you see and that’s a great thing. You’ve got no more time to postpone. Anyone that seeks to undermine you is forgotten now, you win. Mercury shadow* Retrograde begins from October 11th and suggests any duel will be back and forth until December. Propose a plan and it will be accepted, just get out there and offer what you’re good at.
Gemini: May 21 - June 20
Have faith, Gemini. If you are open to a long period of tests and trials, you could likely find the next few weeks productive and useful. For now, wrap up as much as you can. your ruler Mercury begins it’s shadow retrograde from October 11th but doesn’t move into true retrograde until the 31st, therefore - get things moving! Don’t stall or wait on other people to give you the go ahead, sometimes you’ve just got to take matters into your own hands. Good energy is sent your way and even with all the watery Scorpion energy in a Air Libra month, you can increase profit/reputation/status. Mercury can bring with it failed attempts in the work place, perhaps no job offer or promotion as you had hoped. That’s ok, something else is coming. From mid month, you can expect business to move smoother and look forward to increase in pay. 5th house lit up by Sun & Mars - rules passion, love & children. Watch out for issues about equal give & take, put the effort in where it’s required. Original thinking requires solutions - your imagination is witty and quick. Venus & Mercury are in your 6th house giving an ease to whatever it touches, and because the 6th house revolves around work and business; you will begin to see gratitude in the people you work with or for.
Cancer: June 21 - July 22
Help one another, Cancer. Something personal is requiring effort, are you willing to work a bit harder to fix it? Maternal figures can be important through October, especially if someone is set to move; international or otherwise. For you, this month the 4th house is accentuated around the home, property, family life. Don’t let things escalate into petty arguments, people will be restless and say things they don’t mean. Everyone is pressing your buttons, just know that it is temporary and not to make it worse by acting out in an irrevorcable way. The plus side is that Mercury and Venus sit in your 5th house sending you positive vibes and chances in love, friendship. Opportunities to enjoy yourself will come up effortlessly and you should take them without asking many questions. These two planets are together for a big part of October in the sign of Scorpio, you will have time to enjoy the ‘other’ now and good moments are ahead. Renewal of old passion & emotion can be felt significantly. At the end of the month you will have to look closely at; real estate. Don’t wait until the 31st as Mercury sets into it’s 3 week retrograde and people will be flimsy. Whether you’re selling, buying or leasing; it will come up in a way that seeks your attention rapidly and you could be moving unexpectedly.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
Be careful what you lend your energy too this month, Leo. You don’t want to involve yourself with just anyone or anything. Mercury enters Scorpio on the 3rd and with Pluto also direct, this will be an intense time - watch out for energy levels. Marketing, media and public speaking gets you in the lime light, centre of attention. You are increasing communication with others and it’s a perfect month for sales in business, you’re just better at marketing these days even if you are self employed. Libra feeds your fire and this energy shakes you awake - As the planets move through Libra they have to face Saturn; so challenging patterns that you just can’t seem to move on from are a state of contention. Don’t fight and assert domineering behaviours; just keep your forceful opinions to yourself. This could well also be other people, making you feel trapped or pushed. If there is a clash, don’t escalate things, remember the two P’s; perseverance and patience. Everything can happen now if you’re already on the launch pad and have been progressing over this last year, on a deeper level, Jupiter is pushing you along turning dreams into reality. You have condensed energy in both 3rd and 4th houses; so use everything to your advantage in a gentle and kind way.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
The tide is turning on a romance front, Virgo. This month brings out a spontaneity in you that you haven’t felt in awhile. In a sense, you have been rearranging certain things these past few months and now you can take a step back and look at what you’ve created. Decisions are your’s now and people look to you to give the final go ahead. Investments or resources seem to be depleted, perhaps spend less. Tangible objects are a source of joy, you are bringing people together by something you do naturally; cooking, creating? A tension can be felt in regards to a fear of intimacy, you have Mercury & Venus in your 3rd house, so communication and kind words bless everything around you. When Mercury and Venus sit in one house, they make everything easier that relates to communication, companions and bonding. You must smooth out the kinks in certain relationships, especially in sibling ones. Something good happens when you let people be a source of support, that’s why I mention the fear of intimacy, it’s a shadow side and a pattern that restricts. Mars leaves your sign on the 4th and reduces tension; in turn increasing business, functions and events. It’s an important time to discuss matters close to the heart, don’t leave communication too long.
Libra: September 23 - October 22
What’s real and what’s imagined, Libra. It most certainly gets worse before it get’s better and I’d hold onto that this coming month, as you are going through the most unpredictable financial, business and resource cycle of your adult life. It began in May 2018 and is now increasing in importance, because of the Scorpio weather October passes through. In fact, October and November will send you back to the drawing board a couple of times, as you go over old ground, accept changes or make them. This year you have had lucky Jupiter in your communication sector making everything a little easier in how you express yourself. I hope you worked on a strategy, because you may need it now. With Pluto the master of the subconscious moving direct, followed by Mercury moving into Scorpio on the 3rd of October- you must be careful not to stir up old patterns of blame; projecting onto partners is strong, you have to be aware and own it too. Use this period as a rehearsal if you must, because when December rolls around, everything is for real and much more weighty. You do better when you’re doing your own thing, let go of the need of validation from others. It’s about self validation through October, it’s very important to honour own personal development and care less for the opinions. This week is urging you to be a little careful of sneaks, someone wanting to run off with what you have. Beneath the surface things are happening, it’s about being smart and defending what is worthwhile to you. You are in a state of moving on from toxic, immature energy. Try and solve everything before Mercury retrograde.
Scorpio: October 23 - November 21
Almost, the birthday baby Scorpio. Until then, do the research and get ready mentally for the new you; what do you want to unveil? What are the opportunities you will gift yourself? Dreams are potent now and the 12th house is accentuated, it reveals some frustrations or problems. Your guides and angels sit in your subconscious and want to take you out of stifling environments, spend the time alone to use your imagination to find a way out. Mercury, who normally spends 14 to 15 days in Scorpio will instead spend two months, thanks to a retrograde at the end of the month. This gives you plenty of time to work on your choices, decisions and plans for your next year ahead. Lets face it, November is always your month. Right now, something hidden or secret could be happening behind the scenes creating tension within work place or home life. In business, you may be asked to correct something from the past not done well, don’t be vicious. Venus is transiting your own sign making you more charismatic and attractive, this can be a ticket out to a sticky situation, just saying. With Pluto stationing direct and the Aries energy coming from a potent Full Moon next week, you must be aware of the oppositions in life; one doesn’t exist without the other. Don’t be hasty with words, leave all important discussions until December - it’s just not the time now for you to be making pin point decisions that end or prolong.
Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
Proactive behaviour work’s best when it's transparent, Sagittarius. Jupiter (your ruler) returned last November to begin a new 12 year cycle of expansion, with the first 13 months spent in Sagittarius, Jupiter was laying down foundations and creating the pathways for new beginnings, projects and journeys. Let’s just say, you were the golden child this year. Jupiter leaves on the 3rd of December and moving into his final months you are now at the home stretch of this mega foundation year. It’s an ideal time for you to go after what you want, that one last push that makes the juice worth the squeeze.This makes starting the month with Mars still in your career sector even sweeter, until it leaves on 4th October, his mission is to create as much professional momentum as possible. Be aware of extra expenses that can pop up now, perhaps they have been hidden from view. Regardless, you seem to have luck on your side and you won’t have to do much on your own, life will just put a lot of things in their place. Venus & Mercury sit in your 12th house, indicating smooth dealings with international parties, investments and authority figures. Dreams will be spiritually inclined now, watch out for what they say to you. Secret support guides you, the good actions you did in the past were witnessed and rewards arrive in the perfect time.
Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
You remain super busy with career and that extra work load, Capricorn. Venus & Mercury sit in your 11th house of social joy & friendship all month and even though it’s ‘go, go,go’ energy; you’re making good connections and networking helps fulfil some long term goals and wishes. Don’t accept any offers until early November. That way you will get to see a persons true colour before you enter into a ‘story’ with them, this is wise advice. Wait until December to do something grand in love or life, that’s when doors open and you feel reborn and alive in every sense of the word, this is a time of Jupiter (planet of luck) entering Capricorn. A great time ahead for promotion - you are noticed. Bosses may be putting the pressure on you and that’s because the Sun & Mars are active here, if you’re your own boss - initiative and drive is two key words. You’re ambitious and enthusiastic, even when obstacles have to be overcome. The best parts of your diplomacy will come out in October making you very popular, regardless tests will come and they will go, but they will most certainly evolve throughout the next few weeks. If you’ve been acting out and not owning it, accusing others when in fact you’re the one actually doing the same thing - you will need to be weary of the significant damage this can cause when all thing’s appear to be well. Money is activated and you’ve got opportunities to move up more spots on the ladder of life.
Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
Life is flowering for you, Aquarius. The Libra energy will begin in October for your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery coupled with Mars returning to a similar spot in your chart on the 4th October keeping him here until mid November. This works to your advantage, as you will have the joy of seeing developments unfold across income, work and career and still feel rather playful and light. This month is focused on bonding with others, relationships and partnerships. Shifting frequencies and moving ahead with new inspirations. The 9th house is lit up by the Sun & Mars and being so ‘future orientated’ you can bet you won’t be waiting on things to happen, but making them. Both Sun & Mars make for rather masculine energy, where you won’t take no for an answer. It’s all about passion for knowledge, learning and spiritual advancement. You want to be around people who inspire you and teach you, the context right now for you; it to be active in your own wisdom. The drive to succeed is high and you can get amazing advice from mentors; you are 'discovered' in a sense. Male figures will be predominant here; someone who is driven and optimistic and suggests a new way of thinking. Later on around the 20th, it will be all about your career/work sector. If things feel abrupt in context to money, draw a fine line and stick to the right side.
Pisces: February 19 - March 20
Internal focus and the power struggle that resides within occurs most of October, Pisces! Good luck. Even though you are a deep, water sign, this can even be too much for you. But, alas this is where great growth comes from. You are being liberated from what no longer serves and it may be uncomfortable and unfair but this is just how it goes. In the same breath, there will be a merging of two people, breaking walls down. You’re more understanding of feelings, thoughts and intentions. Venus & Mercury attract without much effort and traverse through your 9th house of education, knowledge and information that is exactly showing what you need. You find joy in quiet moments, reading and writing, just creating. Inspiration will come from seeking what you like, very spiritual, artistic energy. Super intellectual vibes come out of you and you remain elegant regardless the storm. Jupiter is pushing you along in work opportunities, dream big and reach out to those in power. People are willing to give you a helping hand. Before the year is up a relationship will evolve into what it’s truly meant to be, for better or for worse. Extra passion and drive to get things happening in your 8th house (healing & transformations) and as Mars is the ruler of the 8th house - sitting here with the Sun, you can gather how powerful this transit truly is. Together these two sign’s make for masculine energy - the 8th is a financial house that collaborates and combines resources with you and a partner, be it romantic or otherwise.
