Of all the signs, your sign and Virgo were in the path of last month\u2019s eclipses, so you\u2019ve experienced the most news of any sign lately. The first eclipse arrived as a full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7, and it may have focused your attention on your health. The second one was a new moon solar eclipse in Virgo that came on September 21. Due to that eclipse in Virgo, your relationships with others were in the headlines for you, and the partnership that became a focus may have been in your personal or business life.<\/p>\n
One person you care about in the romantic sense or who you work with closely may have shown their true colors at the September 21 solar eclipse. You might have assumed a person was trustworthy only to find out that an individual or group was anything but what you thought they were. Of course this was terribly upsetting because this episode may have caused a loss of trust.<\/p>\n
In the midst of all the havoc in your life, there was a bright spot. You also gained a new appreciation of your talents, skills, ethics, and character because eclipses reveal qualities in you when you experience one in your sign like you did on September 7.<\/p>\n
If your birthday falls on March 4, plus or minus four days, you found yourself in the path of that September 7 eclipse, and your life will change soon. This is also true if you have Pisces rising or your natal moon is in Pisces at 15 degrees, plus or minus 5 degrees. If you have other natal planets close to 15 degrees in Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, you were affected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pisces with a birthday that falls on March 18, plus three days or minus four days, were to feel the September 21 eclipse strongly. Do you have Pisces rising at 28 degrees, plus 2 degrees or minus 4 degrees? Then you, too, felt that eclipse, mainly in a relationship that\u2019s business or personal in nature. If you have Pisces rising at 28 degrees or your natal moon is at that degree (or close to it), you would also feel change. Watch for any planet in your natal chart at 28 degrees (plus or minus 5 degrees) in Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn since that planet will light up for you, too.<\/p>\n
Before I begin to analyze the new and full moon themes in October, I want to say that it will be vitally important for you to finish as much as you can in October and not let anything on your list lapse into November. I am sorry to say that November will be very challenging on many levels. Sign, seal, and deliver things in October, and you will save yourself a great deal of grief.<\/p>\n
Mercury will be retrograde from November 9 to November 29, but you will start to see the approaching slowdowns, mix-ups, redos, and miscommunications the minute November begins. (We always feel the pace of life slows in advance of the actual date Mercury starts to retrograde.)<\/p>\n
Love could be in the air this month, along with humor, laughter, and fun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
Mercury retrograde will not be the main reason that I am concerned about November. Uranus will set up a series of clashes that could happen suddenly out of left field and be jarring. The full moon on November 5 will be in Taurus, and Mars will be precisely opposed to Uranus the day before on November 4. The effect of this forceful aspect will be mixed into that full moon.<\/p>\n
That full moon will only amplify the effect of this virulent Mars-Uranus opposition and will heighten any tense emotions. Mars will be in Sagittarius at 1 degree by then, and Uranus will be at 1 degree Gemini. That means the demands of your home and family will strongly clash with your career, so your work and domestic responsibilities will both press on you. You may be asked to sign papers, but it would be a dreadful time to do so\u2014if you can, finalize any agreements in October or wait until December.<\/p>\n
Two weeks later we will have the November 20 new moon in Scorpio. You might assume everything should be calmer by then, but no, it will be worse. At that time, Uranus, the planet of sudden change and unanticipated developments, will be at 29 degrees Taurus and will tightly oppose the Sun and new moon, both at 28 degrees Scorpio. Uranus and that new moon will cut across the travel sectors of your chart, so avoid any trips to distant locations. With Uranus challenging the Sun, you will have to watch your health and shore up your immunity.
\nAlso, both Uranus and that new moon will be in financial signs (Taurus and Scorpio), so an unexpected expense could come up.<\/p>\nWhen Uranus shows bad behavior, he often causes havoc with electronics and digital devices. Make sure your computer has the most recent upgrades and that you are using the most current malware software before November arrives. Scams will proliferate, and bad actors will be working on ways to do identity theft. Watch your social media to be sure no one tries to confuse your followers by pretending to be you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is hard to prepare for the upsets that Uranus can bring\u2014he is the Great Awakener, and it\u2019s his job to show you the loopholes that are unprotected and that unscrupulous people can and will exploit. You will have to check your bank and credit card statements thoroughly to be sure there are no unauthorized charges on them. If you stay alert, you should be protected. Should you find anything suspicious, the sooner you spot it, the easier it would be to fix it.<\/p>\n
Now you see why I want you to accomplish everything important on your list in October. This includes holiday shopping\u2014you should not shop for gifts when Mercury is retrograde (November 9-29) or while unpredictable Uranus is acting like a wild child. If you need a new smartphone, kitchen appliance, TV, computer, or a new car, as some examples, buy your electronics now, without delay. The upside to all this is that December looks like it will be sunny and bright and will pave the way to a joyous, happy holiday season.<\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s look at October. You seem to have an unusually strong emphasis on money management. The full moon in Aries on October 6 will find you sending checks to people you owe. If anyone owes you money, it is likely to come in now. This full moon will not form any aspects to other planets, which is unusual.<\/p>\n
Saturn and Jupiter are cooperating in a very strong way, also unusual, and that tells me that if you are in transition, doing something new and important for your life that involves spending money, it will likely be worth your effort.<\/p>\n
The new moon of October 21 in Libra will also focus you on money. This time you may be working on lowering your expenses, such as making a large payment toward a student loan or, if you are self-employed, sending in your estimated taxes. Pisces have been moving, renovating, or painting their homes or acquiring a piece of new furniture recently, so you might have to send a check to the contractor or the furniture shop to pay for the items you purchased. Alternatively, you may tweak your investment portfolio with your financial advisor. These are a few examples of many possibilities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you are in the process of getting divorced or ending a partnership in a business you shared, it\u2019s possible that you will open discussions with your soon-to-be ex-partner about the fair division of assets. Pluto will be in harsh angle to this new moon, so you may have some resistance from your business or marital partner\u2014the person could take a hard line. You would have to finalize talks so that you can proceed.<\/p>\n
Pluto can be domineering and forceful, and Pisces tend to want to avoid confrontation. Sometimes you really do need to stand up for yourself and your views. You likely have a lawyer, and that person can protect you. Find out what points are mainly important to your partner, and see if you care more about other, different assets on the table. Sometimes finding out your partner\u2019s priorities can unlock a deadlocked impasse, especially if you discover their priorities are different from yours.<\/p>\n
If you are seeking venture capital or even a mortgage or bank loan, you will need to be very buttoned-up with all your finances that you reveal. Pluto can be quite exacting, and if Pluto finds any inaccuracies, you won\u2019t be able to receive the sum you ask for.<\/p>\n
Before I go, I want to point out a number of special days that I would like you to circle on your calendar.<\/p>\n
October 8 will be a lovely day\u2014Venus in Virgo will be in a perfect sextile to Jupiter in Cancer. (This is an opportunity aspect, so you will have to take action to create your luck.) Venus will make this an unusually beautiful and luxurious day, full of elegance and beauty.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On October 14 Venus, by then in Libra, will be flirting in sextile with Uranus (and this time Uranus will be on his best behavior). Love could be in the air, along with humor, laughter, and fun. The transiting moon will be in luxury-loving Leo, making this day doubly special.<\/p>\n
On October 24 Mercury will trine Jupiter\u2014a stellar day to sign a contract, give a speech, write a manuscript, judge a contest, or go shopping for holiday gifts. You can travel to see a client in a distant city, agree to terms, and come back with the purchase order.<\/p>\n
Put four gold stars on October 27 when Mars in Scorpio will reach out to Jupiter in Cancer. You can use this day in many successful ways. Actions lead to profit, so doing business will be favored as well as distant travel.<\/p>\n
Halloween arrives at month\u2019s end, October 31, and guess what\u2014the transiting moon will be in Pisces, favoriting you. Your sign is considered the most imaginative and creative of all signs because your ideas originate from your subconscious. You are also strongly right-brain oriented and take in the world in a very different way than most signs\u2014as symbols, gestures, and other visual ways. This is the reason you often have no idea how you come up with your dazzling ideas\u2014you just do. If you want to win the costume contest, start early this month\u2014you could win.<\/p>\n
The only concern I have about this evening is that it is uncomfortably close to the opposition between Mars and Uranus on November 4 (by Halloween this aspect will begin to become within orb). If you are invited to a party, go, but make it an early evening. If you plan to have a drink, have an Uber or other ride-share take you home. When people drink they can become more impulsive and reckless (trademarks of Uranus)\u2014so take every necessary precaution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am not worried about your behavior (you are a responsible person), but I do worry about the other people you might encounter out on the road, roaming the neighborhood. Alcohol will slow down your reactions, and on this night, to be safe, you need to be sharp. Go to the party, win the trophy, but come home early. Like your mother used to say, nothing good happens between 2 AM and 5 AM. When Uranus opposes Mars, I think your dear Mom was right.<\/p>\n
SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n
Life certainly has been creating lots of news for you, particularly if your birthday falls within five days of March 4 or March 18. Last month you experienced two eclipses\u2014the September 7 lunar eclipse in Pisces and the September 21 solar eclipse in Virgo. A relationship took center stage, and it was time to decide whether to move closer, with renewed commitment, or leave. This relationship may be one centered on love or business. This month you might still be handling the details.<\/p>\n
You are coming closer to knowing what the next chapter of your life should look like, and you now have a greater understanding of what would make you happy. If you didn\u2019t hear news or experience a fresh start (or ending) last month, then watch what happens at this month\u2019s full and new moon, respectively on October 6 and on October 21, plus or minus four days in each case. An eclipse can sometimes deliver its message a month to the day later (or even a month to the day earlier, within the same tolerance of plus or minus four days). Astrologers look at time differently because we use bell curves to plot events.<\/p>\n
In October you will be thinking quite a bit about money, especially at the full moon on October 6 in Aries. This will be when you write checks and wire money to those you owe. If you are interviewing for a job or have asked your current employer for a raise, this would be the time when you\u2019d settle your salary. If you owe taxes or money on a student loan, you may now send the money. Conversely, if someone owes you money, you will be glad to see it come into your bank account.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You will give even more attention to money at the new moon of October 21 in Libra. A new moon is usually a time of new ventures and fresh starts, and in the case of a new moon in your eighth house like this one, it\u2019s a time to go \u201cshopping\u201d for money at banks and other lenders. Pluto will be in hard aspect to this new moon, however, so you could encounter some resistance when you ask for money. Whether you are seeking a raise, bank loan or mortgage, venture capital, or any other funding, you will have to make a very strong case for why you deserve it. Pluto can be quite confrontational.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, all is not lost because this new moon will have a second set of aspects happening offstage. Jupiter in your fifth house of true love, pregnancy, care for children, and artistic expression will send a beam to Mercury in your ninth house of foreign people and places.<\/p>\n
If you are self-employed, think global, not local. New clients and markets based abroad may be interested in what you have to offer. If you work for others, a company with an outpost in your country but whose headquarters is based overseas would be fortunate for you. When it comes to opportunity, international people and companies will be where the golden nuggets lie.<\/p>\n
Jupiter and Mars will be in ideal sync on October 27, but you could feel this aspect sooner since these two planets will begin to communicate at the October 21 new moon. This aspect is a sparkler and could help you make more money from the actions you take at this time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There will be other areas of gain from October 27, depending on your occupation. Publishing and broadcasting ventures will glow as will the courts system and legal matters. If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, you may receive special encouragement and advice from one of your professors that changes the direction of your major and, consequently, your life. Mars\u2019s link to Jupiter, as you will have in late October, usually indicates that profit will come through the actions you take.<\/p>\n
Do your best to get all your most important actions wrapped up this month. The reason is that Mercury will retrograde next month from November 9 to November 29.<\/p>\n
Next month Mars will enter Sagittarius, so your career can take a giant step forward. Mars will enter your tenth house of professional honors, awards, and achievements for the first time in two years on November 4, to stay until December 15. That will be a perfect time to let others know of your recent successes, transmitted through social media, publicity, or advertising, if self-employed. With Mercury retrograde in November, a high-level person you worked with in the past could become important to you again. Start planning in October, and be ready to meet the press next month. October 24 will be a dazzling day for your career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
