The month begins on a social note for you, as Venus moves into the service-oriented sign of Virgo on October 8. During this transit, you’ll be inclined to connect with your friends and community by offering advice, guidance, or a helping hand. Assisting those in need will be your primary focus now, and it could ultimately lead to you developing new relationships. Just be mindful of spreading yourself too thin – your desire to offer aid could prompt you to bite off more than you can chew.
You’ll be retreating into your shell on October 14, as the sun and moon form an eclipse in the peaceful sign of Libra. During this lunation, you may set out to make some changes to your habits or behaviors – particularly the ones that may be working against you. Since this eclipse is ruled by Venus, you’ll be seeking new ways to prioritize pleasure behind closed doors. Although this may not be an incredibly social day for you, you’ll probably be reflecting on the ways you can overcome any internal struggles in order to better connect and relate to the people around you.
The sun shifts into Scorpio on October 23, spotlighting your autonomy and sense of self. While you tend to be pretty reserved, during this season you’ll be inclined to put yourself out there more than you normally would. You’ll still be moving with caution, but this month is an opportunity to not only prioritize yourself, but the ambition, as well as the emotional security, you seek from life, too.
The lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28 shifts your focus away from yourself, and toward your connections with others. Expect some important revelations around relationships to take place today, specifically around the comfort and intimacy you crave from others. While you tend to be pretty reserved, now is the time to lean into the support that’s being offered to you by your loved ones. In order to experience the emotional depth you crave, allowing yourself to be vulnerable is essential.
