It’s Libra season, and the scales that represent this sign might just be tipped in your favor. Both Venus and Mars are in Libra, and the crossing of the planets of love and passion may make cuffing season more interesting than expected. Mercury will go into station retrograde in Scorpio on Halloween, but the planet moving backwards doesn’t have to be as scary as it sounds.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): The days are starting to get chillier, but the cooler weather can’t stop you, fire sign. Since your ruling planet, Mars, is in Libra, you might find yourself more diplomatic and balanced than usual. Coupled with your ambition and work ethic, there’s a high chance that the task you impulsively took on recently might actually have been the right move. We love sign compatibility.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Some people forget that your ruling planet, Venus, is also the goddess of money, but you don’t. She’s entering your seventh house of partnerships, so thank her for the extra luck you’ll get in love and wealth. Your practicality sometimes holds you back in your decision-making, but trust your instincts.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Fellow air sign, you probably should work on balancing your daily affairs – from your home life to daily routine to work, you’ve got Venus in Scorpio being in your sixth house of details to thank for this call to action. This detail reorientation may grant you an unexpected result.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Some fun is coming your way in the next few weeks, and just in time for spooky season! And cuffing season – romance may be on your mind, whether it be about your significant other or your latest Tinder match. Keep your mindset carefree while you can, or midterms will suck all the fun out of you before you can get your party on.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): You may be a lion, but you’re not always a lionheart, Leo. As the Aquarius Moon continues in your seventh house, maybe try putting yourself out of your comfort zone for those that you care about. Your unconventionality may just pay off – doesn’t good karma always?
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22): Your ruling planet, Mercury, starts going in retrograde in Scorpio on Halloween, but in the meantime, focus on the power that your words will have in the coming weeks. Venus in your third house of communication will make your words have a magical quality that isn’t just because of the costume you’re planning.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22): It’s your time to shine, Libra! Wealth is coming to you in more ways than one, so don’t be afraid to try those creative ways to earn money that you’ve thought of. Venus, your ruling planet, is an artist, and she’ll help you see the beauty in life during your time in the sun, hopefully with some income coming your way.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): Your complexity (which may lead to manipulativeness) coupled with Virgo’s perfectionism might lead to a hankering for scheming. But don’t let the probable likeliness of your success get to your head. People only like tricks of the Halloween kind, and you’ll only mess up the balanced harmony in your relationships right now.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): You archers have got some secrets of your own, in both love and money, but you should reflect on who you reveal these thoughts to. Your 12th house of endings and secrets will hopefully bring you some reflection, but don’t obsess over the endings. Just focus on learning from them.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): The watery Pisces Moon will bring some emotion into your life, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. As it’s in your third house of communication, there’s a chance you could be receiving some good news or may hear from someone you’ve been waiting for.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): Look out for some new admirers in both romance and work. It’s up to you if these will lead to any possible success. The Aquarius Moon asks that you lead with your heart, maybe not your typical unconventional thinking. Take any inspiration you see and run with it.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): Thank the stars, the Pisces Moon is in the house! This is your gift for the month, in your first house of self, so this is a sign you should treat yourself. The beginning of this cycle will fill you with optimism, so don’t waste it. Enjoy your day and maybe even share with the world your wonderful self.
