Aquarius Monthly Horoscope

You’re in a growth cycle, Aquarius! October begins with the Sun in Libra, spotlighting your ninth house of expansion. Opportunity could come through travel, publishing or education. But pace yourself as you take measured risks now. With Mercury spinning into its final retrograde of the year from October 24 to November 13, get clear on the terms of any agreement you’re entering before you sign your name or plunk down the cash for it!

The Libra new moon on October 10 widens your lens to max aperture, inspiring a wave of visionary thinking. What goals can you set that will expand your income in the coming months? Perhaps a venture tied to media, education or cross-cultural connections will come to the forefront.

Ready to make a power move? On October 23, the Sun zooms into Scorpio and your tenth house of professional achievement for a month. But once again, there’s a warning label. Wealth-magnet Venus is retrograde in Scorpio from October 3 to 25, then in Libra until November 13. You’ll need to rigorously abide by office etiquette, staying calm even when coworkers push your buttons. Keep your head down and do good work that speaks for itself as you ride out the retrograde. 

On October 24, Mercury joins Venus in a retrograde cycle, also through Scorpio and your career zone, adding to the cacophony until November 13. Reach out to old clients and colleagues for promising leads or just to reconnect.

The October 26 Taurus full moon spotlights the tension you may feel between your personal goals, professional plans and domestic life. With la luna beaming into your fourth house of home and family, but locked into a T-square with Pluto and the Sun, you could feel stretched thin. The missing piece of the equation? Look to partners and supportive people to help you carry the load.
