This is your month, Libra, as the Sun moves through your sign. This generally shifts a lot of emphasis from personal issues to those that involve others, especially close relationships and partnerships. Ol' Sol has quite an entourage including Venus, Mars and Mercury, who are all traveling quite closely together. They'll all join Jupiter in Scorpio about the same time, with the Moon likewise in that same neighborhood, by the 24th. While your Ruling Planet, Venus, is in your sign, you can expect an extra boost in your Libran charm along with a general improvement in your outlook on life. When it glides into Scorpio, you may have the urge to buy something simply because it's pretty or beautify yourself or surroundings in some way.

All Librans will be getting a slight mental boost from Jupiter around the 10th with this especially beneficial for those whose birthday is within a few days of that date, one way or the other. If you're planning anything in particular or involved in a project you should have plenty of clarity of thought as well as some Mars energy to make it happen. Librans usually love beauty and possess some natural artistic talent. This will be further enhanced by Neptune in your natural 5th House of creativity and will be particularly strong for these same folks born between October 6-14. Even better news is the fact that this will affect your Solar Return, i.e. when the Sun returns to its exact location at your birth, and thus be in effect for the entire year. Use it to good advantage.

Mercury goes retrograde on the 29th so try to get anything done that requires good communications before then. That includes any purchases of electronic or mechanical equipment (including automobiles). If you can't do it by then, you need to wait until after November 18 unless you want to invite all sorts of glitches and malfunctions into your life. This will be a real pain for you Librans since Mercury will be in your Natural 2nd House which rules your possessions, so consider yourself warned.

If your birthday is on or within a few days of October 15 your Natal Sun is making a nice sextile pattern with Saturn and Pluto. These aren't especially friendly planets, but the aspects are positive, so whatever introspection they may conjure up will ultimately be for your personal growth. We can't move on to higher ground without recognizing where we've been and assimilating our lessons learned.

You're probably not known for being very decisive because you like to weigh all sides of any question and be fair to everyone. As a rule, taking a stand just isn't your forte. Therefore if you want to make a change of some kind, defending your position is usually not easy as it is. Those born the first week of October may find themselves in a situation that requires a decision that is not very popular with those around them. As an Air Sign, however, you have the ability to process data. Normally you use all your logic to understand everyone's point of view and perform a balancing act but this time you need to use that logic to decide what's best for all concerned, including yourself, regardless of the others' opinions, realizing that even if it doesn't seem fair to everyone, nonetheless it's the right thing to do. Now's a good time to slip back into your Polar Sign, Aries, and just tell 'em how the cow ate the cabbage. SInce the Full Moon is on the 6th in Aries this month, this should give you a little extra push in that direction.

Your life should be far from dull with so much energy being emitted in your sign for most of the month. Aspects to the other planets are pretty positive, so overall, this should be a good month for you as well as a good year to come. In spite of the fact you may have to make some rather large decision, which I know you don't like, the universe if currently in your favor so don't go getting your panties in a wad about it. You're much better off astrologically than many of the other signs right now. If you don't believe me, ask a Virgo or a Sagittarius born around the middle of their birth month. I kid you not.
