OCTOBER COSMIC FORECAST
We begin the month with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra. With the Sun and Moon conjunct with the South Node, we are being asked to close one door so we can open another. This will set the tone not only for the next lunar cycle, but also for the next 6 months.
Use the insights below to plan your month ahead and stay aware of the opportunities and challenges heading our way. The more we know, the better we can prepare for the energies ahead.
Before we get started, be sure to have my Guide to the Rising Signs handy so you can see what area of life (aka the “House”) each planet will be making an impact in for you specifically. As always, to get a more detailed understanding of how each transit could impact you based on your unique birth chart placements - please schedule a Cosmic Coaching Session with me! 💫
