Your to-do list is no match for you, Taurus! Libra season helps you get organised and start routines that set you up for success. Over the next few weeks, you may feel ready to kick long-term habits that hold you back and replace them with healthier ones. You may also be busy with a major project or commitment that feels all-consuming—trust that it’s going to pay off in due time!

The month begins with a New Moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 2. This may have you wrapping up a daily commitment or choosing to make a sacrifice and take something on. Your productivity is off the charts and you’re able to find solutions to your problems with ease. You’re hot and bothered when Venus in Scorpio connects with Mars in Cancer on October 8. If someone has the ability to seduce your mind? All bets are off! You’re craving witty banter and sexting. This is helpful energy for making progress on any creative or collaborative projects, too. Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, goes retrograde in Gemini on October 9, and there may be some sort of setback in your financial world. Maybe a job ends unexpectedly or you realise that the work you’re doing doesn’t feel fulfilling anymore. You could also learn about an unexpected bill or debt that needs your attention. Over the next few months, you’re encouraged to reflect on your relationship with abundance, gratitude, and scarcity.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Scorpio on October 13, bringing important news your way. You’re ready to have conversations about the future of your relationships. You could also see an influx of collaborative opportunities, new contracts, or client work. You’re feeling overextended on October 14 when the Sun in Libra squares off with Mars in Cancer. You might miss appointments, deal with road rage, or get stuck in traffic. You’re winding up in frustrating (but usually manageable!) situations in your everyday life and noticing that other people seem to be on edge, too. Pick your fights wisely, exert your boundaries when necessary, and don’t overbook yourself today.

On the same day, Venus in Scorpio faces off with Uranus in your sign, shaking up your close relationships. People are craving more freedom and autonomy in their connections, and clinginess is a major turnoff. Singles could meet someone unexpected and some couples might choose to abruptly end things. Today can also help you make a breakthrough with a personal goal or connect with someone surprising.

The Full Moon in Aries on October 17 helps you close out a cycle. You might feel exhausted today. If you’re processing any endings, make sure to tend to your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Trust that as one chapter ends in your life, a new one begins. On the same day, Venus, the planet of relationships, enters Sagittarius, and you’re making money! You could pay off a credit card or learn about a new financial opportunity. Others are eager to invest in you and your ideas over the next few weeks.

This transit will also bring up the concept of reciprocity in your relationships. Where can you step up and help you love, and where should you swallow your pride and ask for some help? You might face off against a micromanager when the Sun in Libra clashes into Pluto in Capricorn on October 22. If someone else is trying to control you in any way, it’s time to call out those toxic dynamics. You may also notice that there’s more intensity in your everyday life—perhaps you learn news about a new responsibility that requires your attention.

Later in the day, the Sun enters Scorpio, putting more emphasis on your close one-on-one relationships. This Scorpio season can bring people into your life who help you move towards some of your goals. In matters of ~love~, singles could meet someone worth committing to and couples may discuss the next steps in their relationship. You’re craving more quality time with the people you care about most. But you might feel disappointed in some of your friendships when Venus in Sagittarius rams into Saturn in Pisces on October 28. Don’t shoot the messenger, but the skies don’t bring good news today. You may receive a no or encounter a setback instead of what you were hoping for. Setting boundaries and protecting your time, energy, and resources may be necessary as you reflect on who truly shows up for you when you need them most.

You’re discussing topics that feel out of pocket when Mercury in Scorpio faces off with Uranus in Taurus on October 30. A partner could reveal something unexpected or maybe you’re offered an opportunity out of the blue. Conversations today can feel jarring, so temper your expectations! The month closes out with Mercury in Scorpio syncing up with Neptune in Pisces on October 31, bringing a sense of calm to your conversations. You’re able to get on the same page as others and brainstorming can lead to new, wild, and exciting ideas. You could also learn some good news about your aspirations for the future, especially when you choose to act on your intuition. Happy Halloween!
