The October 12 Moon in Aries, your solar fourth house, will trigger this month’s hotspots: career vs. home and family life. You’ll be pulled in two directions, making it a challenge to give both the best of your time and energy. There’s no simple solution for this challenge; all you can do is carefully budget your time and keep your family informed.
The good news is the difficulties will begin to wane after the Moon. Once past the week of the Moon you’ll be able to kick back a little to enjoy family time. Time with your children will be especially memorable near the 28th and 29th, so consider a day trip or sporting event with another family.
Better yet, let the kids choose the destination or activity. Later this month, your focus begins to shift to friends and socializing as Venus enters Scorpio, your solar eleventh house, followed by Mercury on the 13th. The energy peaks at the Moon in the same sign on the 26th, an influence that extends into November.
Choose the weekend of the 22nd if you want to host a get-together or organize an evening out with a group of pals. Early October will bring both stressful career days and easygoing ones.
You’ll have to push yourself to meet a deadline or production goal, but this time frame also has the potential for gains and possibly higher earnings or an added perk. Continue to keep your budget in mind, especially while socializing. With Mars advancing in Leo, your solar eighth house, you’ll be in a generous mood. Let others pay their fair share.
