In October, the atmosphere will be filled with a fair amount of harmony and, simultaneously, the urge to enact more discipline in your life.
The month begins with four placements in Libra (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn). Hence, there will be an overriding desire for peace and balance. Gentleness is afoot, along with a desire for beauty and harmony.
Because Saturn conjoins the other placements in Libra, you will become aware of the limits in your relationships, but will also have the chance to see new ways of navigating your interactions to experience less restriction.
During the first week of the month following Saturn’s conjunction with Venus on September 29, you may feel somewhat limited socially. This is a time for considering deeply what is really important to you in your relationships. You can become aware of the ways you interact with others that, upon closer inspection, are not well received and fail to produce the results you want to create. It will be a time of noticing with more seriousness the nature of these interactions. Awareness of current patterns, and the effects of those patterns, can lead you to choose behaviors that produce better results and make you happier. Money is also highlighted during these days. You can become disciplined with finances in ways that might serve you in years to come.
From the 1st to the 11th, Mercury conjoins Saturn in Libra (exact on the 6th). During this period, your thoughts about relationships will become more serious. You’ll become more aware of what is really important to you, and more conscious of your verbal interactions with those to whom you are close. If seeking a new partner, you will have the chance to get clear about the qualities you want in another person and the kind of commitment that is suitable to you at this point in your life. What works for someone who is in her twenties may not work when she’s in her fifties. This is also an excellent time for writing, as your thinking will be more serious and your insights deeper. You will also have the discipline to complete thoughts and tasks.
The Sun conjoins Saturn in Libra (from the 5th to the 22nd, exact on the 13th). During these days, you may not be feeling as energetic as usual and a serious tone will permeate the atmosphere. You’ll have a chance to slow down enough.
