Venus enters Virgo on the 8th, and this both ends your summer-long hibernation and/or travel hiatus, and it also sets you up for a great deal of change that ultimately rests on how you feel about yourself. You might be feeling extra-sensitive to rejection, too, around the 10th.
Around the 14th, the solar eclipse in Libra might require some sort of personal sacrifice, but it’s about time you started taking stock of the things you no longer need. A source of income? A job? A service you offer? Your old backpacking gear you haven’t used in 15 years? If it’s holding you back, it might need to go. Further clarity, especially around next steps, arrives on the 20th.
The Taurus eclipse on the 28th might bring you some sort of opportunity to travel, relocate, or work with people from other countries. You’ve been following this particular thread since the fall of 2021, and this is more or less the grand finale. Where will you go next?
Libra rising
Can you feel the deadweight you’re about to drop, like a tree shedding its leaves for the fall?
This month, the first of a series of Libra eclipses brings you through a gateway around October 14th. And honestly? It might not feel very magical—it might just feel like being too tired to keep certain things up anymore. With your ruling planet, Venus, transiting the desert expanse of your 12th house as of the 8th, these inflection points are going to have something to do with you feeling depleted, even trapped, by some of the circumstances in your life. Perhaps being all things to all people doesn’t leave much left over for you at the end of the day. Fortunately, your awareness of where you are leaking energy tells you exactly what needs to change.
Generally speaking, this wouldn’t be a bad month to take a solo retreat somewhere quiet, or maybe commit to a couple days of silent meditation in nature. This is a month of laying down your sword, surrendering your baggage, and shedding the skin you’ve outgrown.
Scorpio rising
It’s been a sleepy fall so far, but that all changes for you this month. Your ruling planet, Mars, comes home to Scorpio on the 12th, and then on the 23rd you get an additional boost as the Sun follows suit. October is for waking up, smelling the coffee, and becoming reenergized around your personal goals.
