OCTOBER 2019 53
found a new love or interest. This is
a good time to begin a new creative
project.
Power days: 8, 9, 15, 18, 20, 23, 27.
Goal for this month: Increase your
vocabulary. Learn a new word every
day.
LEO SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
Your celestial ruler, the life-sustaining
Sun, spends the first three weeks of the
month in Libra, where Venus is until the
8th, and where Mars resides after the
3rd. This can be a good period for you,
if you focus on learning new things and
improving your communication style.
When assertive Mars is in your solar
3rd house, you are eager to make your
point in conversations, letters, reports
and presentations. Just don’t be rude or
nasty. That also applies to when you are
driving any vehicle.
Jupiter in Sagittarius continues to
encourage you to express your creativity
and to enjoy your life. You may have
opportunities to go to social events
or to entertain. You may find love or
become passionate about a new hobby
or interest. If you are feeling impulsive,
be careful. Avoid high-stakes gambling,
reckless driving, and promiscuous sex.
Enjoy yourself, but don’t do anything
you could come to regret later on.
Power days: 8, 11, 15, 20, 23.
Goal for this month: If you tend to
buy on impulse, cut down your spending.
VIRGO SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
On October 3, Mercury, your ruling
planet enters Scorpio, and Mars enters
Libra. With this planetary duo in action
for the next six weeks, you may have
high expenses, or your finances may
require special attention. You need to use
your income and other resources wisely.
Don’t lend anything you value, and that
includes your mate! Don’t co-sign for
anyone’s loans, even if the person begs.
Avoid buying expensive items.
With Mercury in Scorpio from the
3rd onward, and Venus in that same
sign starting on the 8th, you may meet
new people or have opportunities to
learn new things. Stay in touch with the
people who have been good to you.
When the Sun enters Scorpio on
October 23, you can gather facts, take
short trips, run errands, and meet new
people. Neighbors, siblings or other close
kin may have an increased importance.
Be gracious to them.
Power days: 4, 10, 15, 19, 20, 23.
Goal for this month: Forgive
yourself for past mistakes, but learn
from them.
LIBRA SUN SIGN OR ASCENDANT
You are entering a very busy time.
The Sun, Mercury, and Venus are in
your sign when October begins, and
you really shine! One of your busiest
seasons begins when Mars enters Libra
on October 3rd. The following six
or seven weeks may find you active
physically, spiritually, emotionally, or
psychologically. You need to get plenty
of sleep and to eat nutritious meals to
keep up your strength.
This is not a good month to enter a
new partnership with anyone, whether
it’s a project, expenditure, marriage, or
career move. You need to increase your
sense of self-esteem. Think of yourself
as the most important person in the
world, at least for now.
