On October 8, Venus, your planetary ruler, will finally be shifting out of Leo and into the detail-oriented sign of Virgo. While this can be a challenging time for prioritizing the desires you’re used to, the need to be more selective with what you indulge in will offer a refreshing perspective. Being picky about what you seek for comfort can prevent you from operating from a place of excess – which in turn, can increase your gratitude. Sometimes, less is truly more.
The solar eclipse in Libra on October 14 initiates new, beneficial beginnings in the area of habits, routines, and rituals. You’re constantly on the hunt for pleasant endeavors, even in the smallest of ways – and this solar eclipse urges you to embrace the satisfactions that come from the most mundane parts of your world. This could look like enrolling in a new pilates class, or setting routine time aside for socializing with coworkers after a long work day. While you’re typically a fan of treating yourself in big ways, this eclipse is an opportunity to find joy in what you’d usually overlook.
As the sun shifts into the reserved, protective sign of Scorpio on October 23, your romantic relationships and partnerships will be illuminated. You prioritize connections that have emotional depth, and this month, you’ll be called to lean into the dynamics that go beyond the surface. While these attachments may push you out of your comfort zone, they promise to feed your desire for intimate, close-knit bonds.
On October 28, the lunar eclipse in Taurus sheds light on your innate urges and desires. On this day, you’ll be directing focus to yourself, rather than the relationships that have captured your attention this month. While tending to your emotional needs has been gratifying, your need for tangible satisfaction and stability is always a main priority. On this day, you’ll be taking a closer look at how you go about fulfilling your desire for pleasure independently of anyone else.
