With Venus sitting so close to your Sun, October begins with you in a good mood and open to having everyone love you and want to help you. A great time for any kind of public speaking as everyone will respect you and enjoy your work. Time to ask for a favor from a friend or a raise from your boss. Venus always wants to look good, so you might spend a bit more time getting a new look with hair and clothes to match. Venus will only be here for the first half of the month before moving on, so hopefully not too much damage done to the credit cards. Once it moves into Libra, there may be some financial news that brings a smile to your face. Venus tends to bring a little gift wherever she goes and once she goes into Libra, this planet is lighting up your second house of prosperity and abundance. So nice news.

Although Virgo is usually the soul of discretion, with Mars visiting your third house this month, you might be a bit more vocal and outspoken than usual. Mars is a forceful planet and the third house is one that is all about communication. A good placement for any kind of public speaking, but your words may have someone else taking offense at your plain speaking. Be forceful but be tactful.

Some good news is that Pluto is finally turning direct this month, after being retrograde for months. This planet is going to be in your sixth house of health and well-being. It has been here for months and will stay here for several years. Some kind of health situation may clear up or you find the right person to help you. We take charge when Pluto is strong.
