Happy October! This month kicks off in the thick of Libra season, which is an ideal time to bring balance to your wallet and working relationships alike. Plus, the equilibrium-steadying energy of this zodiac sign is much-needed after the chaos of September’s eclipses — and the astrology of October brings some big opportunities to make some serious moves. You’ll want to know exactly what’s on the agenda for your October money horoscope.
Be cautious when making financial decisions during the first week of October. Logical Mercury will be squabbling with several planets, so there could be a tendency to exaggerate certain details or go to an extreme by acting from a place of competitiveness rather than common sense. By the time the bold-hearted full moon hits on Oct. 6, you can use the cosmic intensity to dig deep into whatever you want to pursue, especially with Mercury diving into laser-focused Scorpio on the same day.
Your financial values will steer you in a much better direction during the second week of the month, as luxury-loving Venus catches a vibe with lucky Jupiter, allowing abundance to flow with ease. Meanwhile, a connection to committed Saturn helps you see what career and money goals are truly worth working toward. On Oct. 13, Venus enters its home sign of Libra, giving everyone a more aesthetic and refined sensibility. This is a great time to invest in something fashionable or artful (fall shopping, anyone?), or to bring some diplomacy to your professional relationships.
The new moon on Oct. 21 is a great time to formulate a lucrative master plan, whatever that may look like for you. Find creative ways to reshape your desires into tangible actions. Scorpio season starts the following day, and has everyone feeling more strategic and perhaps even a little secretive about their goals. Make moves in silence and be willing to play the long game.
Speaking of making moves, the astrology of the last week of October lays out the framework for actualizing big dreams. A series of auspicious trine aspects involving analytical Mercury, go-getter Mars, abundant Jupiter, and a few other key planetary players, is lighting up the cosmos from Oct. 24 until the end of the month. Putting hard work into something now will inevitably pay dividends; therefore, invest your time, energy, and money in endeavors that align with your long-term professional and financial goals.
