Libra
Happy birthday, Libra! This October offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and reconsider what you want from the year of life ahead. The new moon in your sign on the 10th marks a personal fresh start, encouraging you to make room for the habits, interests, and forms of self-expression that feel right for you now. With your ruler, Venus, in retrograde, your desires may be changing, prompting you to revisit an old interest or question a purchase or goal that once felt essential. As Venus returns to your sign on the 25th, that reflection becomes more personal. The Taurus full moon on the 26th may bring a deeper feeling or lingering attachment to the surface. By allowing yourself to acknowledge what has changed, you’ll end October with a clearer sense of what you’re ready to carry forward.
