Libra season finds the sun illuminating a very private sector of your chart, encouraging you to catch up on rest, spend some time alone, and meditate. This season is a brilliant time for dream work and for shining a light on your shadow self so that you can explore your past and your psyche, and begin healing. It’s a wonderful time for a silent retreat and psychic development, and you’re in an even more reclusive mood than usual, mysterious scorpion!

October opens on an intense note with darling Venus squaring off with your ruling planet Pluto in Capricorn on October 1. A few days later, Pluto ends its retrograde and messenger planet Mercury enters your sign on October 3, marking a big shift in energy around communication. The atmosphere is especially intense and passionate, but watch out for jealousy and obsessive behavior! Mercury in your sign is helping you see through all the B.S., but there will be quite a bit of it for you to handle because people are saying pretty much anything to get their way—they just badly want what they want!Early October can be a juicy time for romance as long as you’re very aware of the power dynamics you’re engaging with. Watch out for love triangles! If someone is being difficult, bring in a third party to help mediate the situation. You're fantastic at keeping secrets, but if someone is misbehaving, don't give them more power by allowing them to do it unseen.Action planet Mars enters Libra on October 4, finding you more active at night than usual—make sure to keep a dream journal by your bedside. This is a powerful time to sit in meditation and to do inner work, including releasing any anger you may have been repressing, through journaling or in therapy. Mars is the warrior planet, and while it's in harmony-seeking Libra, you may feel confused about where to direct your emotions and passions, especially when it comes to your anger. Don't be the scorpion who stings itself: Go to a kickboxing class, or write a letter to someone who wronged you, and then rip it up into little pieces!
