Balance, Tension, and New Beginnings
Initiate new partnerships in Libra and prepare for challenges ahead.
October is a busy time with the solar eclipse in Libra on the 2nd. This is a time of initiating new partnerships, improving the ones you have, and being clearer about what you want in relationships. You question the idea of fairness, harmony, and balance.
There will be a long series of retrogrades starting at the end of November. It’s important to start your projects now so the retrogrades won’t impact you as much.
Mars, planet of self-defense, war-like activity, and anger, is in the sign of Cancer. With our nation birthed under the sign of Cancer, we may feel more threatened by other countries, and there can be more local violence. Mars is having a strong impact on the cardinal signs of Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn. Be careful out there!
Days of harmony this month are the 8th, 15th, 17th, 24th, and the 31st. Days with some tension are the 4th, 6th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 19th, 20th, 22nd, 27th, and the 30th.
ARIES (Mar. 21–Apr. 19)
Relationships are playing a big role in your life this month. You will be more aware of those who need some support, those who give you support, and those that are too costly. Family demands are much stronger this month. This can be a good time for some remodeling, family reunions, or addressing issues that others are ignoring. Your patience with all of these issues is very short! In the latter part of the month, you are paying more attention to your finances and investments. Trust and intimacy in partnerships become more important in the latter part of the month, as well. You also are needing time for yourself and reflection about your current career path. Putting yourself first makes you less resentful when you compromise to help others!
TAURUS (Apr. 20–May 20)
Career and long-term decisions become more important as the month progresses. For some, this can be a time of starting your own path, changing your current direction, or potentially cutting back on the time you commit to this part of your life. As the month begins, you are working on habits and routines associated with your health and your work patterns. You want a more peaceful environment, and you are more likely to be clear and direct in your opinions. This will be very strong at the end of the month. In the latter part of the month, partnerships become more important. This is a good time to renew those bonds, and if you are single, this is a very good time to meet some new folks. The latter part of the month is also good for travel or just stepping away from your responsibilities.
GEMINI (May 21–June 21)
You continue to be busy while you are trying to set goals and personal boundaries in all areas of your life. With your career, this can be a time to step up and take on a leadership role. You will want more options and choices, rather than following a particular path. This can feel like a push-me-pull-you! Money is easier to spend this month as you are satisfying your desires. Relationships, both business and personal, become more important toward the middle of the month. This can be a great time to get away with your partner for some rest and retreat. If you are single, this is a very good time to meet new people. We are more playful in the first half of the month, and we are paying more attention to our responsibilities in the latter half.
CANCER (June 22–July 22)
It’s a busy and active time for the Moon Kids! You are ready to take care of business, start something new and fun, and push forward with your ideas and dreams. This continues to be a good time to improve exercise and diet routines. You may also have a harder time sleeping, and exercise can really help there. You are definitely not as patient with just about everything in your life. You are seeking more peace and relaxation at home, as that is your escape. The solar eclipse on the 2nd really brings this idea home. There could be changes in the family power structure as your relatives get older. In the latter part of the month, you are more creative and may spend more time with your children.

In the second half of the month, home and family issues become your main driver. You will want to make your home more comfortable, possibly do some remodeling, or even moving. You continue to work on improving your investments and getting rid of debt. This is also a very good month to expand your social connections.
