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.

Happy Halloween! And birthday of course. After all that rest and recuperation last month, you’re finally ready to come out of your hole. Is the world ready for you? The month starts out on a great note, when Mercury in your 2nd house of income trines Neptune in your 6th house of work. Did you get that new job last month? Your new salary may finally hit the bank. Welcome news considering Saturn’s been in your income sector since last October and will stay there until 2015. Unfortunately, this month, Mercury conjuncts Saturn twice-  on the 8th and the 30th. Money matters may turn serious and you might have to write a few big checks, especially if travel, education, or an illness is involved, as Mercury rules these areas for you. Adding to the problem, Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st, and won’t resume direct motion until November 12th. You may have to go back and review your finances, or money you were counting on might be delayed. October 5th brings a new moon in your first house of self, and with it comes some challenging aspects. Uranus in your 7th house of partnerships will be in opposition, and Pluto in your 4th house of home will square both. This is not a new aspect for you, as these planets have been doing a seriously messed up dance for a while now. You’ve been working hard on reinventing yourself for a while, but you keep running into brick walls. Pluto has been turning your home life inside out since 2008, and Uranus has been disrupting your partnership sector since 2011. Now these planets are in a difficult swordfight, and it feels like everything is coming to a head. Ever hear the expression that nothing good comes easy? Keep this in mind, as unfortunately you will be hit hardest by this planetary clusterfudge, especially if you were born between Oct 1 and October 10th, or if you’re a Libra rising at 11.5 degrees. Your fellow cardinal signs Aries, Capricorn, and Cancer will be right there in the muck with ya. To top it off, the Sun in your sign will square Jupiter in your 10th house of career on the 13th. Harsh aspects to the 1st house, 4th house, 7th house and 10th house are considered the toughest, since they are the angles of your chart, and you’re being ambushed at all angles, so I feel for you. Just remember that challenges are what enable us to grow. Good aspects are nice, but can leave things stagnant. The planets are encouraging you to stake out the right path for you, and they’ll do so til you get it right. Luckily, on the 17th, your ruler Venus in your 3rd house of communication will trine Uranus in your 7th house of partnerships, and partnerships matters (personal or business related) will have an extra boost of good luck. This is good news, since on the 18th, the lunar eclipse will bring a partnership matter to a climax. This is especially true if you birthday falls around this date, or if you are a Libra at 25 degrees rising. On the 8th, Mars will enter your 12th house of closure. This can be a difficult position since the 12th house wants us to rest and release, while Mars wants us to forge ahead with new ventures. Guard your secrets carefully and watch your health. On the 20th, Mars will oppose Neptune in your house of work and health, and an underhanded colleague’s secrets might come to light. Luckily, the month ends on a good note. On the 26th, the sun in your house of income will trine Neptune in your house of work projects. You may get a side project that can bring in extra cash, or perhaps you’ll dedicate some bones to a new fitness routine. On the 31st, Mars in your 12th will trine Pluto in your 4th house. Instead of partying on Halloween this year, why don’t you turn your house into a haunted mansion? Mars will give you the creative and dark energy to make a wonderfully scary abode- what a great way to make these energies work for you! On the same day, Uranus in your partnership house will square Pluto in your house of home, so keeping things close to home will be a good idea.
