This is still another potentially difficult month, Virgo, following the recent New Moon eclipse at 29° of your sign, in fact the second New Moon in a row to take place in Virgo this season. The issue that is highlighted in that way is one of identity, which could sound simplistic – in that you already know, by this time, who you are. And yet, who are you really? And who are you eventually going to be? These are very real questions and they hew more closely to a process of intuition that they do to simplistic logic as might apply to items of lessor import. Although logic works in many areas and can solve many problems, there is another way that taps into the mystical side of life, and that can come to your aid now. With Uranus, involved with intuitional knowledge, extremely prominent at the top of your solar chart, and highlighted in both of these New Moon configurations, you have this form of inner knowing at your mental fingertips, if only you can stay open to it. What is changing for you as well is your day-to-day life and potentially outmoded habitual patterns, which may well be in a process of revision and updating. Again, the prescription is to be allowing, and open, rather than restrictive or forcing yourself stay stuck in the past. The interesting thing is that this same principle of openness applies to your principles and values as well, in that the secret is in staying open to what arrives to you straight from your heart. When you can accept what comes, in the moment, and trust in your gut, you are ahead of the game. And when you can take only what you deeply believe and let go of the rest of the multiplicity of influences from media and conversation, that really helps also. The late Libra New Moon of October 21st might serve you as a capstone on all of this, as you continue to feel your way into your own authentic self-expression.

The recent solar eclipse in last degree of your sign from September 21st has set the backdrop for most of October, while the lunation cycle associated with this New Moon winds down for the month’s first twenty days. This might bring a powerful incentive to delineate clearer boundaries between you and others while simultaneously urging you to let go of some of the impossible standards that you hold – especially for yourself. Pluto and Uranus were both in close trine with the New Moon degree, forming an out-of-sign grand trine in Air (1° Aquarius, Gemini) and Earth (29° Virgo) which implies both novelty and metamorphosis. As the month of October begins, the challenge of transformational intensity remains, whereby everything that is past becomes prologue. October then progresses along somewhat by now familiar lines, as transformation of your outmoded habits and your work in the world continues to unfold, and as a host of aspects conspire to uplift you.
On October 1st, your ruling planet, Mercury, is well into Libra or your resources sector, and in square with expansive Jupiter, while Venus is still transiting in your sign. These two planets in each other’s signs, since Venus rules Libra while Mercury rules your sign of Virgo, a phenomena called mutual reception, may give you a solid advantage in the month’s first week for negotiations of all kinds. Knowing your worth goes a long way in getting your fair share of a deal and you could sway things in your favor if you can engage to start getting over any fears of being too demanding.
The Aries Full Moon lands on October 6th and shines a light on business and intimate partnerships with Mars in Scorpio ruling over this Full Moon from your communication sector; there may be a need to clarify contracts and agreements with others. There are always complications with collaborations, and likely no easy answers so we just do the best we can and take advantage of the good things. What others are bringing to the table may be starting to get clearer in this Full Moon timing. From here, you can meditate on your communications, intuitive sense of what is happening, and also your logic. In any case your own most cherished internal principles and values are what truly count in deciding things. Mercury’s recent entry into Scorpio, reflected in this Full Moon, emphases information of all kinds and the need to find a way to articulate what you feel and want.
Venus in your sign forms a supportive sextile with Jupiter in Cancer on the 7th and 8th which continues to give you all the ease and charm you could want. The symbolism changes by the 10 to the 11th when Venus in Virgo meets resistance from Saturn in Pisces and you need seriousness and commitment including with your beliefs. Temporary setbacks could affect your finances.
On the 13th, the Last Quarter Moon lands in your social sector conjunct Jupiter there and things might go better. Friendships, groups, and future planning are all favored. Venus on the edge of Libra forms a grand trine in Air with Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius just as Pluto is stationing direct. These three planets linking up together emphasize vocation, day-to-day evens and rituals, and your finances, so that there are changes and the discarding of outmoded habitual patterns and there also could be opportunities on your immediate horizon. Finding ways to do things more efficiently could be a big theme for you this month as well, that could be peaking in this dynamic configuration. Progress career-wise may involve looking outside of the box and staying open to sudden possibilities.
The late Libra New Moon of October 21st additionally signals a fresh cycle in your resource sector. With Jupiter in Cancer forming a square to the New Moon, expansion may be possible through your acquaintances so it could be great timing for networking with the right people. You might be surprised by the amount of interest in your work you can garner, and success could come your way as a matter of connecting with your community. Communicative outreach also counts for quite a lot at this juncture, and you likely have good energy for that, now and over the coming weeks.
The Sun enters Scorpio on the 23rd while Neptune retrogrades back into the sign of Pisces making the later part of the month very fluid. The Sun in Scorpio illuminates not only your skills and your dexterity but also the care you put into everything and changes for your day-to-day and workplace concerns due to the Sun square to Pluto.
From the 27th to the end of the month, a grand trine in Water involves Mars, which could affect communication and learning and as well your relationships. You can perhaps expect the pace of things to speed up as the month comes to a close. Mars in Scorpio forms supportive trines with both Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces, culminating on the 29th. This offers not only coherence in your dealings but also connective energy and inspiration to move things forward in your collaborations.
