· Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
Libra, this month choose the smallest useful move in what you value, and how you show affection and complete it. Useful for the conversation or errand you have been circling. Skip anything that only feels urgent and changes nothing. By the end of the month the useful move is already obvious. This is because your ruler Venus is in Scorpio, which emphasises what you value, and how you show affection. The New Moon in Libra falls on Sunday 11 October. For Libra that is your 1st house of self and how you come across: you, your body, your appearance, the first impression you make. The Full Moon in Taurus falls on Monday 26 October. For Libra that is your 8th house of shared money and intimacy: joint finances, debt, tax, inheritance, and what you only say in private. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday 3 October. For Libra that is your 2nd house of income and what you value: the money you earn, what you own, and what you think you are worth. Pluto turns direct in Aquarius on Friday 16 October. For Libra that is your 5th house of romance, play and creativity: romance, flirtation, children, and anything you make for the joy of it. Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday 24 October, in your 2nd house. The Sun moves from Libra into Scorpio on Friday 23 October, in your 2nd house. Venus moves from Scorpio into Libra on Sunday 25 October, in your 1st house. Venus grinds against Pluto, so what you're outgrowing whether or not you planned to is in the mix too. The Sun is also transiting Libra at the moment, which brings your sense of self and what you want to be recognised for 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.
Libra Love & Relationships
Across October, your love life is decided in the money you earn, what you own, and what you think you are worth, so start there. Good for the steady gesture: the thing paid for, kept or brought without being asked. Not useful for buying your way out of a conversation you owe. Venus starts the month in Scorpio, your 2nd house of income and what you value. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday 3 October, in your 2nd house. Mercury and Venus form an exact conjunction on Wednesday 7 October, in your 2nd house. Venus and Mars form an exact square on Sunday 11 October, in your 2nd house. The Moon crosses Scorpio on 12 to 13 October; those are the days to act on your love life. Check back at the end of October: one finished step in the money you earn is worth more than a plan for all of it.
Libra Career & Work
Across October, your work is decided in friends, groups, networks, and what you are aiming at next, so start there. Good for the introduction, the old colleague, the group you lurk in. Not useful for cold effort when a warm contact exists. Mars stays in Leo all month in your 11th house of friends and the future, so the subject holds from start to finish. Mercury and Mars form an exact square on Friday 2 October. For Libra it links your 2nd house of income and what you value with your 11th house of friends and the future.

The Moon crosses Leo on 5 to 6 October; those are the days to act on your money. Check back at the end of October: one finished step in friends is worth more than a plan for all of it.
