Leo, this month name the next step in your sense of self and what you want to be recognised for out loud and do only that. Useful for the conversation or errand you have been circling. Skip anything that only feels urgent and changes nothing. Mid-month is when it actually asks something of you. This is because your ruler the Sun is in Libra, which emphasises your sense of self and what you want to be recognised for. The New Moon in Libra falls on Sunday 11 October. For Leo that is your 3rd house of conversation and the everyday: conversations, messages, short trips, siblings and neighbours. The Full Moon in Taurus falls on Monday 26 October. For Leo that is your 10th house of career and reputation: your career, your public standing, and the people above you. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday 3 October. For Leo that is your 4th house of home and family: home, family, where you are from, and your private life. Pluto turns direct in Aquarius on Friday 16 October. For Leo that is your 7th house of partnership: your significant other, close business partners, and open opponents. Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday 24 October, in your 4th house. The Sun moves from Libra into Scorpio on Friday 23 October, in your 4th house. Venus moves from Scorpio into Libra on Sunday 25 October, in your 3rd house. Mercury and Mars form an exact square on Friday 2 October, in your 4th house. The Sun flows easily with the Moon, so your mood and what you need to feel settled is in the mix too. Mars and Jupiter are also transiting Leo at the moment, which brings your drive, and where you're willing to push directly into your own territory rather than leaving it somewhere abstract. Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are retrograde, double-check anything you're signing or sending. Taken together, the practical instruction is to commit to the specific thing in front of you rather than reorganising everything around it.
