As the month opens, you’ll be seeking pleasure and satisfaction through your habits, routines, and rituals while Venus shifts into Virgo on October 8. After its extended stay in Leo, Venus will now be encouraging you to shift your focus to being useful and of service, even if the gratification that comes with it is minimal. While this transit is brief, it’s inviting you to find delight in the little things, like crossing tasks off your to-do list, or getting your daily practices in order. Treating yourself doesn’t always have to be drastic – satisfaction can oftentimes be found in the most mundane of tasks.
The sun and moon conjoin to form a solar eclipse in Libra on October 14, initiating new connections and relationships that center harmony, balance, and gratification. While you tend to rely on your own capabilities, this solar eclipse is an opportunity to lean into the support and comfort of your partnerships. This energy may feel uncomfortable initially, but it’s inviting you to turn over a new leaf – one that promotes interdependence and mutual support.
The sun shifts into the cautious, steadfast sign of Scorpio on October 23, illuminating your shared affairs and intimate dynamics with others. You’re being made aware of your emotional desires now, and how they’re currently being met in your relationships. You may also be paying more attention to what you’re sharing with others and vice versa. Since you’re more sensitive around this time of year, it’s important to be selective when it comes to who you surround yourself with.
On October 28, the lunar eclipse in Taurus sheds light on your money, resources, and values. You’ll be called to focus your energy on what you need in order to feel secure and stable in a tangible sense. This could signify an increase in your resources, or a desire for an increase here. Either way, be sure to pay attention to what you’re yearning for now in this area.
