Welcome to Libra season, where we're supposed to be experiencing harmony, balance, and all things beautiful. Except this year, the universe has other plans. We've got Venus going retrograde in Scorpio starting October 3rd, a full moon in Aries on the 26th, and Mars entering Leo on the 27th before immediately opposing Pluto. So yeah, this Libra season is going to shake things up.
If you're a Libra, Scorpio, Aries or Leo, congratulations. You're the main characters this month, and I'm going to tell you exactly why.
Libra and Scorpio: Venus retrograde brings the inner work
Libra, it's your season, so yes, you'll be shining and glowing and getting all the attention. But Venus, your ruling planet, is going retrograde. That means things are going to come up from deep within that you didn't know were there. Old insecurities, self doubt, questions about your worth. This isn't punishment. This is an opportunity to look at those relationship wounds you've been avoiding, the ones about yourself and how you love. Face them now, heal them now, and learn to truly love what's deep within you.
The universe is asking you to go deep. Venus is all about love and beauty. But when it's retrograde, it's about inner beauty and you'll be learning to love yourself for what's on the inside.
Scorpio, Venus is going retrograde in your sign starting the 3rd, so this is hitting you directly. You're being asked to look past what you present to the physical world and really connect with the part of you that is your soul. Insecurities rooted in old wounds will surface, and you'll have the chance to heal them so you can love yourself in this moment and know that you are enough. It won't be comfortable. It'll be hard. But it'll be worth it, so do the work now.
Aries: trust your gut at the full moon
Aries, there's a powerful full moon in your sign on the 26th that can bring something you've been working toward into fruition. But here's the catch: the path forward won't be clear. Your intuition will be strong, though, and you need to listen to it even when it doesn't make logical sense. This full moon can also mark the closure of a cycle, the ending of something, or saying goodbye. You might not be able to explain what you need to walk away from, but deep down inside, you'll know exactly what to do. Trust that.
Leo: Mars enters your sign with a warning
Leo, Mars enters your sign on the 27th, which means your energy and motivation are about to skyrocket. You're going to want to get things done, so use this fire to move forward and make progress. You'll also be a little feistier than usual, especially around October 3rd when Mars opposes Pluto. That date could bring power struggles or aggressive behavior from you or the people around you. Keep your cool, lay low, and remember to breathe. Other than that? You're going to be on fire.
