Your money horoscope for October is all about finding financial equilibrium. It’s Libra season, and the harmony-seeking sign of the scales inspires you to balance out your bank accounts and sweet-talk your colleagues. With logistical planet Mercury traveling alongside the sun in this intellectual air sign until Oct. 13, it’s a great time to have diplomatic conversations and practice moderation in your spending. Splurging is totally justified when it’s also paired with some efforts to save.
The solar eclipse on Oct. 2 kicks off the month with intensity, and when it comes to finances and career matters, the earth zodiac signs should especially buckle up for a wild ride. Eclipses are chaotic! If you want to make lucrative money moves or launch new projects, the second week of October is a much better time to act.
On Oct. 8, mental Mercury forms a lucky trine to abundant planet Jupiter, so million-dollar ideas are aplenty. The sun mirrors this Jupiterian connection on Oct. 13, giving you the confidence you need to pursue new income sources or otherwise invite some good fortune in your life.
The full moon in Aries on Oct. 17 is full of tension. It’s challenging you to find your voice and summon your leadership skills. You may have to push through obstacles or overcome emotional triggers, but trust yourself.
Scorpio season starts on Oct. 22, so use its raw and investigative energy to dig deep into your psyche and unpack some of your more repressed impulses, hang-ups, or fears about money. It’s time to clear your cache and make space for abundance.
As the month wraps up, it may be better to do a money-attracting meditation or make a luxurious Pinterest board of your dream life rather than actually trying to pour your cash into something. That’s because number-crunching Mercury will be facing off with unpredictable Uranus, potentially bringing unexpected expenses or last-minute changes about an important decision. However, Mercury will be vibing with whimsical Neptune at the same time, so your imagination will be lit up with all sorts of creative visions and intuitive vibes.
