Astrology forecast for Oct. 25-Oct.8
By Cortney Litwin/Staff Writer
Clashes with the opposite sex are harmonized during the New Moon in diplomatic Libra on the 25th, a great time for a fresh start. However, things may progress slowly at first due to a Venus-Saturn bump in the road on the 25th.
This sluggish influence is followed by energetic Mars turning direct on the 27th, making it easier to move forward with plans that have been delayed for the past two months. Just don’t push too hard until after the Mercury-Saturn tug-of-war on the 28th, when communications get bogged down with misunderstandings. The spirit of cooperation prevails, however, when the Sun enters Libra on Sept. 23, followed by Mercury on Oct. 6.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your Mars ruler during direct is just the outlet you need for two month’s worth of pent up energy. Focus your attention on what you need to accomplish. The New Moon assists with business partnerships-and relating to your significant other.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Be patient with roadblocks during your Venus ruler’s temporary collision with stagnant Saturn. Mars turning direct emphasizes the importance of friendships. And the New Moon makes it easier to begin-and stay on-a new health program.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Undercurrents sneak their way into communications when your Mercury ruler squares off against Pluto on the 28th. Just tell the truth. Mercury entering Libra helps with Interrelating. The New Moon, too, is all about love.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Libra influences, including the New Moon, inspire you to creative heights in your home, making it an especially fun time to entertain (after the beginning of the week). Mars direct turns your attention toward travel and education.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your Sun ruler and the New Moon transiting into harmonious Libra is sure to inspire peace, love and understanding, especially in communications, if you can ignore the bumpy ride during the Saturn roadblocks around Oct. 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Look for financial opportunities during the Libra transits, including the New Moon. It’s time to broaden your earning power. And as for romance, values gain importance in your relationships, and Mars turning direct stimulates partnership activities.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Several planets in Libra as well as the New Moon shine a benevolent energy over your personal life. Take time to communicate your appreciation to the people you care for. Mars turning direct energizes work endeavors.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Listening to your inner guidance is the key to happiness during the planetary travels through Libra, including the New Moon. You may also find yourself reevaluating your past and wanting to complete things left unfinished.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Multiple Libra influences, including the New Moon, activate your need for friendship and community involvement. A friendship, however, may be tested. Mars going direct may usher in a home or land investment opportunity.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
A career opportunity lands in your lap during all the Libra influences, including the New Moon. Mars going direct energizes communications, which won’t always be smooth going but will eventually prove beneficial-and possibly lucrative.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Multiple Libra influences, along with the New Moon, energize your desire to learn something new as well as explore foreign lands. Mars turning direct energizes financial opportunities, which have been put on hold for about two months.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Mars turning direct in your sign finally places you in the right place at the right time to take advantage of a supreme opportunity. But you’ll have to keep your eyes open to realize it. An inner transformation is indicated from the current Libra influences.
