Money makes the world go around, the world go around, the world go around. This month is all about the benjamins for you, though it’s hard to say if it will be going in or coming out. After a little ebb and flow each way, I think you’ll come out on top. Did something close to your heart come to a head last month? The beginning of this month might put on the finishing touches. On Oct 3, Mercury in your 9th house of travel and publishing will trine your ruler Neptune in your own sign. If you are writing a novel or screenplay, these are excellent aspects, filling you with creativity and passion. Unfortunately, just after that, the Sun in your 8th house of other people’s money will oppose Uranus in your income house, and square Pluto in your house of hopes and dreams.  The money you were counting on might not come through so you may have to put up a fight for it. The 11th house also rules friendships, so a friend who had promised to help you secure funding might be dropping the ball. Alternatively, you may be going through some kind of financial transformation. Because of these harsh angles, positive developments aren’t favored, but luckily, the lunar eclipse in your income house on the 18th is a friendly one. It falls at 26 degrees Aries, so late-born Pisces have the edge on this one. If you have any planet or point at 26 degrees Aries in your natal chart, it will offer clues as to where this eclipse will hit you. You can also look for any planets at 26 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, or Cancer- these signs are on the cardinal axis along with Aries, so they may be activated on the eclipse. Once Venus moves into Sagittarius on the 8th, you’ll have an edge in career matters. Watch out for the 10th, when Venus squares your ruler Neptune in your sign. You may hit a snag in a career matter. Luckily, a good career day will come on the 17th, when Venus will trine Uranus in your 2nd house, and you may get a bonus or raise. This is great news, especially since it comes the day before the lunar eclipse in this same income house. Mars moves into your 7th house of partnerships on the 16th, putting the emphasis on a partner (whether in business or pleasure). You may feel at the mercy of another’s whims or opinions, or you may find yourself having problems asserting yourself. As a Pisces, you’re probably used to this. On the 20th, Mars will oppose your ruler Neptune in your sign, and relationship matters may be fuzzy. Mars is the aggressor, while Neptune is soft and compassionate, so you may find yourself stuck in the mud on this day with someone close to you. Mercury spends the month in your house of travel, and will conjunct Saturn on the 8th and 30th. Mercury rules your 4th and 7th houses, so matters relating to home or partnerships may turn serious on these days. On top of that, Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st, causing all kinds of delays and breakdowns. If you’re traveling, make sure you know exactly where your passports and paperwork are at all times, and plan for any contingencies. If you’re working on a publishing or broadcasting project, you may have to go back and re-do your work. Changes may take place within your home or partnership, but all should be straightened out again by November 12th, when Mercury goes direct. You’ll have to deal with Mercury hitting Saturn one more time however, on November 26th. Saturn has been in your 9th house since October 2012, a rather easy position compared to the 8th, where it previously spent 2 1/2 years. You might be doing a deep dive into a course of study, or perhaps learning a religion or meditation practice. If either of these paths include writing or speaking, the Mercury-Saturn conjunction will bring things to a head. Saturn is the planet of limitation and hardships, but can also indicate stability and long-lasting effects, so you’ll have to wait to see how it affects you. On the 26th, the Sun in this same house of travel will trine your ruler Neptune in Pisces, so you should hear good news on this day. On the 31st, Mars in your house of partnerships will trine Pluto in your house of hopes and dreams/friendships. You may start a business with a friend, or perhaps your significant other will be instrumental in a long-held dream. Just keep an eye on your finances, as the Uranus/Pluto square will be exact on this day, and will continue into November (and through 2015). Pisces is known for having her head in the clouds, and also for not caring about material possessions. Your artistic ability and compassion are some of the most endearing traits your sign possesses, but the Universe is pushing you to take your dreams and turn them into a reality, perhaps making a little money in the process.

September proved to be quite a moneylicious month for you, and October 3rd seems to put the finishing touches on whatever money-making scheme you were cooking up. Mercury, which for you rules other people’s money, is in your 10th house of career, and on this day it gives a friendly ping to Neptune in your income house. If you were waiting on funding for a business or other venture, it may hit the bank on this day. Enjoy it while you can, cause now I gotta ask you to strap on your seat belt- this ride’s about to get bumpy. October 5th brings a new moon in your travel and publishing house that’s harshly angled to Uranus (your ruler!) in your transportation house and Pluto in your house of completions and secrets. You might experience some serious breakdowns while traveling, or a contract might go awry. Did you experience any setbacks in this area in mid-September? The same axis is activated, so it may be a continuation of that issue. Pluto has been in your 12th house since 2008, drudging up mental issues and perhaps messing with your health. This is an odd placement for an Aquarius- your sign is light and airy- you love a good mental discussion, and you’re all about hanging out in groups. The 12th house is dark and asks us to retreat and recuperate- to dig deep into our psyches. You’re stuck with Pluto here until 2023, so embrace what he’s asking you to do. Additionally, Uranus, your ruler, has been zinging around your 3rd house since 2011. Writing and communications projects may have gone through ups and downs, or perhaps a sibling has been all over the place. A lunar eclipse in Aries on the 18th will highlight this house, and a contract may be completed at this time, or perhaps you finish a big writing project. Alternatively, you may find yourself purchasing a new car. Know your chart? Look for any planets or points at 25 degrees Aries. This is an area that will be illuminated for you. And don’t forget to read the horoscope for your rising sign! Your rising sign is just as important as your sun sign, and you should always read for both. Don’t know your ascendant? I recommend going to Cafe Astrology to get your full chart. You’ll need your exact birth time. Moving right along…the Sun in your house of travel will square Jupiter in your 6th house of work and health. A publishing project could go awry, or you might have an issue with a foreign client. Speaking of work, you’ve had quite a go of it since October 2012, when Saturn entered your career house. This month, Mercury travels this same house and conjuncts Saturn twice- on the 8th and the 30th, and goes retrograde on the 21st. Since Mercury rules your 8th house of other people’s money, as well as your 5th house of love, creativity, and children, you may experience delays or set backs in these areas. Luckily, on the 26th, the Sun in your career house will trine Neptune in your income house, and a bonus or raise may come your way. More good news- Venus will enter your 11th house of friendships on the 8th. Sparks may fly with a friend, or perhaps a pal will set you up on a fun date. On the 17th, Venus trines Uranus in your 3rd house. You might find unexpected love on a short trip with friends, or even at the super market! Make sure you’re out and about on this day! Mars enters your 8th house of other people’s money on the 16th, so keep an eye on your credit card. The good news about Mars in the 8th? Your sex drive will sky rocket. Even better, on the 31st, Mars will trine Pluto in your 12th house of secrets.  The interplay between these two ferocious planets in your most mysterious and sexy houses means you might want to stay in this Halloween. In bed that is. Grrar.
