OCTOBER 2019 83
DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR LEO
1st Tues.—You’re the king or queen of your castle, Leo.
Organizing household and family matters with a regal
touch and administrative skill makes others take notice.
2nd Wed.—Take care of private matters behind closed
doors this morning and be sure to read the fine print.
An upbeat atmosphere prevails later in the day; socialize
and party.
3rd Thurs.—Mercury enters Scorpio, the house of your
home, real estate, and family roots (the 4th). You’ll take
control here by laying down the law and then enforcing it.
4th Fri.—A cut and dried approach to tackling a chore
gets the job done right. Technology streamlines a tedious
career-related task. Your efficiency stands out.
5th Sat.—Long hours of hard, diligent work end with a
job completed to your own and others’ satisfaction. A staff
member exhibits some surprising talent and expertise.
6th Sun.—A minor medical malady is deep-rooted, but
you’ll weather the storm. Pets display an uncanny ability
to respond to discipline and seek to protect you from
harm.
7th Mon.—Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus retro-
grade in Taurus, bringing flashes of temper at home and
at your place of employment. High-strung people upset
others.
8th Tues.—Venus enters Scorpio, making your affections
guarded as if under lock and key. Elders exert benign
control in particular areas, and a family issue smolders.
9th Wed.—Borrowing and lending money for domestic
concerns works to your benefit. Overspending with
credit cards on sports and entertainment does not. Curb
excesses.
10th Thurs.—Your sixth sense helps you read the
motives and desires of certain members of the top brass.
Once you’ve got your agenda in place you’ll aim to please.
11th Fri.—You’re back to living it up beyond your means,
if only for a day or two. Adjusting your budget helps to a
point, but you’ll have to compensate in other areas.
12th Sat.—Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus retrograde
in Taurus, bringing an on-again, off-again rapport with
elders or higher-ups. Family matters clash with job
concerns.
13th Sun.—The Full Moon in Aries shines the house of
higher education, ethics, cross-cultural interests, and
media (the 9th). You’re on the cutting edge in one of
these areas.
14th Mon.—The Sun in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn,
making it difficult to maintain control over staff members.
Attempts at diplomacy fall short, and medical issues arise.
15th Tues.—Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune retro-
grade in Pisces, sending attempts to shore up future
finances to the wayside. Spending on credit becomes the
easy way out.
16th Wed.—A private conversation accomplishes more
than an open forum. Catch up on messages and emails,
but be advised to keep certain information under tight
control.
17th Thurs.—A family matter requires the careful
weighting of many pros and cons to reach an impartial
conclusion. Elders contribute their input along with their
wisdom.
18th Fri.—Medical issues require discretion so as not to
become unsettling to those involved. Higher-ups aren’t
putting all their cards on the table, leaving you guessing.
19th Sat.—Mercury in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn,
making it easy for you to devise a schedule for house-
keeping chores and implement it. Others do their part.
20th Sun.—Venus in Scorpio sextiles Saturn in Capricorn,
adding finishing touches to yesterday’s game plan. Less
is more, and cleanliness and order are building blocks.
21st Mon.—Venus trines Neptune, refining questions
about elders, real estate, insurance, and financial settle-
ments. The detailed answers bring a sigh of relief.
22nd Tues.—Your eloquence dazzles as you explain
yourself to siblings, neighbors, couriers, and commut-
ers. Brokering a peace agreement gets you noticed and
admired.
23rd Wed.—Frugality becomes an issue as higher-ups
require you to do more with less. You may feel cheated,
but you’ll keep your comments to yourself. Adapt and
move on.
24th Thurs.—Much like yesterday, as tightened budgets
are focused on household needs and cash flow manage-
ment. Undue food expenses may waste precious dollars.
25th Fri.—Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn,
inclining Mom, Pop, or older family members to contribute
their time-honored methods of household management.
26th Sat.—Verbal volleys abound, and some become
contentious, especially about ethical issues and current
events. Old customs brush up against contemporary
mores.
27th Sun.—The New Moon in Scorpio activates the house
of real estate, family roots, and your home (the 4th).
Fundamental changes cast wide ripples. Ramifications
follow.
28th Mon.—Money becomes tied in with property values.
Elders lend insight regarding shoring up security for the
present and future. Invest resources in cyclical endeavors.
29th Tues.—There is much discussion about the
current state of financial affairs and how to move up
to the next level. Strategies revolve around recycling
and upgrades.
30th Wed.—Past experiences shed new light on present
conditions. Skills and talents passed down through the
generations come forward and are put to good use.
31st Thurs.—Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio,
setting the stage for you to rethink and review how and
where you live. Reassess step by step and take action
downstream.
