You have come through two eclipses, one lunar full moon eclipse on September 7 in your opposite sign of Pisces, 15 degrees, and two weeks later on September 21 a new moon solar eclipse in Virgo, 29 degrees. If your birthday falls within four days of September 7 or September 21, you were likely to hear news from one of the eclipses.<\/p>\n
It is possible that the eclipses delivered their news a month to the day earlier (plus four days) in August, or that you will still hear news in October. A relationship was up for discussion. How you see yourself as you have evolved over time was the topic of the September 21 eclipse. Sometimes we are so busy doing things in the hustle-bustle of life that we fail to see that we are maturing and have gradually adopted priorities that were different from those we had just a year or two ago.<\/p>\n
In comparison to September, October will be quiet. I often see this happen when the universe brings headline news one month\u2014during that month and the next one, the other little planets step back and give the eclipses right of way so that we can clearly hear what they have to say. This way, you are given time to adjust to whatever news you heard without distraction from the other planets.<\/p>\n
I will reiterate, not all Virgos were to feel the two eclipses\u2014only those who have a birthday that falls close to September 7 or September 21 or have their natal moon or a natal planet tied to the September 7 eclipse at 15 degrees Virgo (plus or minus 5 degrees) or to the September 21 new moon eclipse at 29 degrees Virgo (minus 5 degrees) would have heard news or soon will.<\/p>\n

This month starts out with a full moon October 6 in Aries at 14 degrees, and this will bring a financial matter to conclusion. Two days after the full moon on Wednesday, October 8, Venus in Virgo will sync with Jupiter in Cancer (both at 23 degrees) in a delightful sextile to each other. Venus will be in your sector of identity and personality (first house), and Jupiter is currently in your friendship sector (eleventh house), a house that is associated with happiness and joy, social events, clubs, and all types of social affiliations. If you get invited to an event by a friend on or near this date, absolutely, you must go, for you could make some wonderful new contacts. Venus in Virgo will make you sparkle at any gathering. This may be one of your favorite days of the month.<\/p>\n
Venus will move to Libra on October 13 and will receive electric beams from Uranus in Gemini on October 14, giving you another wonder day\u2014this time from a client or boss to help you see greater compensation.<\/p>\n
On the weekend of October 18-19, Mars will be conjunct Mercury in your third house of travel, so if you live in the northern hemisphere, you may decide to take a little road trip, possibly to view gorgeous fall foliage or go apple picking. If you live in the southern hemisphere, you may look for fields of pretty wild flowers and other blossoms that are now budding in pastel colors for spring.<\/p>\n

The new moon of October 21 in Libra will give you a chance to find a new source of income or to get a new job with a better salary. If you want to stay where you are working now, you may get a raise, but this new moon is mixed. Pluto will press harshly on the new moon and also on the moon\u2019s partner, the Sun. This suggests that you are likely to get pushback from a higher-up and will have to justify why you are worthy of a raise. Pluto can come in the form of a tough influential VIP, so have your list of contributions and successes ready.<\/p>\n
At the same time as the new moon, October 21, Uranus will be in your prestigious career sector (tenth house) in especially fine position (a sextile) to Saturn, which suggests you could spot a golden opportunity. Uranus is trying to help you, and he tends to work suddenly, when you would least expect a twist to happen that favors you. You may get good news that you won a new position or that you may get a raise in your present job.<\/p>\n
A sextile aspect in astrology brings opportunities\u2014but you have to do something to open the treasure chest. You can\u2019t just wait patiently for something to happen on its own. If you do focus on getting more money, you have a good chance of hearing good financial news.<\/p>\n
On October 24 Mercury will contact Jupiter, and Mercury is your ruler, making this an extra special day for you to travel or to sign important papers. It\u2019s also a good time to hand in a manuscript, give a speech, or judge a contest or to be involved in any of the communication arts, such as working on a re-do of your website or to start or draw up plans to create a new app. This should be quite a successful day.<\/p>\n

Halloween falls on Friday, October 31, and will have the transiting moon in Pisces, your opposite sign. You and your partner might be invited to a party. The moon in Pisces is a perfect place for a party filled with costumes\u2014they will be imaginative and very creative.<\/p>\n
I worry, though, because Mars is coming to a fierce opposition of Uranus, to peak on November 4, just before the full moon of November 5. This is a volcanic aspect that can create reckless behavior or anger. I am not worried about you\u2014you are a responsible person\u2014but I am concerned about the other people on the road who may not be as responsible as you. If you have children who want to trick-or-treat, go with them, and make it an early evening. If you go to a party, you know not to drink and drive, but again, I think it\u2019s best to make it an early evening. You can still have fun, but like Cinderella, make it out of the palace by the stroke of midnight.<\/p>\n
SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n
Last month was a major month, for it held eclipses in your opposite sign of Pisces (September 7), ruling your romantic or business partner, and a new moon solar eclipse in Virgo (September 21), that brought you clarity about your evolving desires and needs. Eclipse are known to bring progress\u2014in a hurry. You may still be working on the details that those eclipses brought to your doorstep. If you were unhappy with a partner, you may have already left, so stay strong. If you are happy, however, you may now get engaged or married. As you see, eclipses run the entire spectrum of feelings, depending on how things had been going prior to the eclipse.<\/p>\n
It is otherwise possible that the September 7 eclipse may have affected you in terms of your management of a business relationship\/collaboration\/partnership. Alternatively, a health matter may have come up that you would need to address.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If nothing much happened last month, you may still feel the message of the eclipses and the emphasis on a close relationship this month near October 7 and October 21. Occasionally, an eclipse will deliver its news one month to the day earlier (in this case August) or one month to the day later (in this case October). In either case, you must allow a tolerance of plus or minus five days.<\/p>\n
Money management will also be on your mind this month at the full moon on October 6 in Aries. This full moon could affect you all week, until October 10. It will light your eighth house of other people\u2019s money, ruling credit cards, bank and student loans, taxes, and so forth. You might be applying for a loan, sending in an application for university financial aid, or making a claim for an insurance payout. Detail will count, so be sure all your entries are accurate. You are a Virgo, so there was no need for that advice. You specialize in accuracy!<\/p>\n
If you feel a shortfall of cash, more money might be on the way to you after the new moon in Libra appears in your second house on October 21 at 28 degrees. You may get news that you are getting a raise, but talks may not go as easily as you had hoped. You may be told \u201cThere is no money in the budget,\u201d which may or may not be true. Your strongest option is to be willing to walk away if you feel the salary offered is unfairly low. Plot your escape slowly and carefully, but if you are interviewing for a new position and are surprised at the low offer, stay at your present job.<\/p>\n
Still, you do have outstanding help from unpredictable Uranus, which will be sending a sparkling vibe to Saturn and could bring a welcome twist in the final minutes of the negotiation. This suggest you should not give up and walk away without trying. Give the talks all you have to give.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The eclipses are working to change your life from the inside out and are on a mission to create progress.<\/p>\n
Socially, to lighten things up, you may take a short trip near your base to enjoy nature\u2019s changing fall colors on or near October 8. If you\u2019re below the equator, then you might want to enjoy the new freshness of spring. A good friend may invite you or you and your spouse or steady sweetheart to spend a night in their country cottage.<\/p>\n
A wonderful weekend to travel will be from Friday, October 17, to the evening of October 19. You will have just what you need\u2014fun and a complete distraction from everyday life. This entire weekend is a good one because the transiting moon will be in Virgo, so things will likely go your way.<\/p>\n
Venus has been visiting Virgo since September 19 and will leave your sign on October 13. This means the first half of October will be your very best for finding ways to refresh your appearance. New clothes will be entering the stores, so you will have a wide selection to choose from.<\/p>\n
Single or married, I feel you will enjoy stepping out and enjoying romance. Mars will be in compatible Scorpio, and while Venus and Mars will not make an exact aspect, they will be friendly to Virgo and help you see a romantic episode. Your best evening? Hands down, Wednesday, October 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
