Virgo: (Aug. 24-Sep. 23): As the month of October begins there's plenty to fire everyone up beginning with the Full Moon in Aries. Known for passionate outbursts, independence and starting over arguing, lover's spats and making up, this Full Moon could ignite your passions too. In your solar 8th house of joint resources, sex, intimacy and jealousy your reactions and desires are too hot to handle. Relax.

Then during the first 4 days of October Mercury and Mars form a rare aspect with each other. When the planet Mercury comes out of retrograde in Virgo at 21* it is actually transiting behind Mars the planet of action in Cancer at 21*. This is rare because typically Mercury the messenger planet transits ahead of Mars. Mars in Cancer is now sending Mercury the message in a preemptive strike. Along with the dramatic Full Moon in Aries, both the Full Moon and the planet Mars are in each others places of power. The drama unfolds, as many are compelled to act before they think. Mars rules your 8th house and is transiting your 11th house both fixed houses so you are not being very flexible lately.

Mercury re-enters the sign of Libra where it was previously August 26th. Money still seems to be at the root of your arguments and disagreements. Just try to develop a more balanced attitude about money. Remember Mercury is the messenger planet sending messages to the other planets so pay special attention through the week of Oct 10th because Saturn will enter Libra by months end and you just might get a few hints about what's just around the corner in your life.

The planet of abundance Jupiter goes direct at 17* Aquarius. While Jupiter has been retrograde in your solar 6th house there have been changes to your job and health that you have had to take care of. As Jupiter goes direct you can continue back on that fast track of success you were on a few months ago! Love, marriage and diplomacy get a big boost when Venus enters Libra your 2nd house of money and self esteem.

The fire planet Mars enters the fire sign Leo which rules the 5th house of love, romance and taking chances. In your 12th house though Mars agitates and makes you face your fears and phobias, which could be work related or health related.

The stage is almost set for Saturn to enter Libra as the New Moon occurs in 24* Libra. The New Moon in your solar 2nd house of money gives a boast to joint assets and through your partner's finances, which will benefit all concerned. Tired of being alone and playing the bachelor or bachelorette? This should change.

As the Sun enters Scorpio, your solar 3rd house of thinking and communicating, it's not impossible so think through some of your biggest problems and a solution should readily come.

Mercury seemed to just whiz through Libra and enters Scorpio and getting around should be done in grand style. You could spot a used luxury vehicle that you just have to have or fix one already you have.

By far the biggest news this month is that Saturn enters Libra. Libra rules partnerships, diplomacy, manners, etiquette; above all it rules marriage and commitments. However, Saturn rules lessons and will make everyone examine why they are in certain partnerships or even marriages. The sign of Libra is Virgo's 2nd house of money, personal values and more importantly self esteem. Your eyes are going to be open to how others treat you and if they really value and love you for who you are.

Chiron the wounded healer goes direct in Aquarius and brings back memories of hurts or traumas suffered in adolescence.
