Leo, October 2016

This month is all about communication and your home, Leo.

September was crappy for communication due to Mercury retrograde in Virgo, but Mercury is direct now! Plus, the Sun is in Libra, an intellectual, logical Air sign, where it's highlighting the sector of your chart that rules your mind and communication. Lots of talk and news will surround you early this month, Leo. Getting reacquainted with your neighborhood is also on the menu, as is reconnecting with your siblings. The energy is social, which suits you, Leo, because you love to connect with others.

The Sun in Libra connects with serious Saturn in Sagittarius on October 4, which will be very supportive for you. Saturn is the planet of boundaries; in fellow Fire sign Sagittarius, it's treating you well, teaching you how to overcome obstacles and helping you say no when you need to say it (it's not always easy). This is a good time to think about your boundaries in your creative and/or romantic relationships. Expressing yourself and sticking up for yourself will feel easier than usual.

On October 7, chatty Mercury enters Libra, creating even more conversation around you. Libra is one of the nicest signs in the zodiac, which is rad; however, this could mean that a lot of the talk that's buzzing around you is being sugarcoated so it doesn't hurt your feelings or freak you out.

Will this always be so? Nope! Also on October 7, the Sun in Libra will clash with the lord of the underworld, Pluto. This will push you to confront some uncomfortable situations or to get real with yourself about your needs and desires. You have habits that aren't working for you, Leo, and even the chill Libra vibes can't sugarcoat that.

Lots of talk and news will surround you early this month, Leo.

Ways that you haven't been real in your communication with others—especially about what you can commit to at work or the responsibilities you can take on in your personal life—will come up for examination.

The Sun is the center of the solar system; since you think you're the center of the world, it makes sense that the Sun is your ruling planet in astrology. You're also a fixed sign. Fixed signs fall in the middle of the season (summer, in your case). Fixed signs are loyal and reliable—just as the Sun rises every morning, you consistently come through with your talents and your love for others. However, expect to be thrown off mid-month.

On October 15, the Sun will oppose wild, unruly Uranus in fellow Fire sign Aries, which will find you being unpredictable and not playing the roles people usually expect you to. This will be exciting and scary. Change is always a little freaky, but some freeing, inspiring stuff could go down for you at this time.

The next day, October 16, we have a full moon in Aries. A strong desire to go on an adventure will come over you. Between this full moon and the Sun/Uranus opposition, confrontations are likely, and unexpected disagreements will take place; however, the new perspective you will gain at this time will be invaluable.

On October 18, sexy Venus enters Fire sign Sagittarius! This is a fun and outgoing combination, one that will bring good vibes to your love life. If you're not dating right now but want to be, Venus in Sagittarius will push you out the door to meet new people. If you're in a relationship, having fun together will become a priority. Leos single and attached alike will enjoy a boost in creative inspiration. This is a great time to begin working on your next album or book!

Mid-month, you'll enjoy a boost in creative inspiration. This is a great time to begin working on your next album or book!

Venus in Sagittarius will inspire you to party a lot this October, Leo; however, the Sun and Mercury enter Scorpio this month, which does mean that a big part of you will be focused on your home and family, so make time for both parties and cuddle time on your couch.

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 22, and Mercury follows it on October 24. Scorpio is a psychic, emotional Water sign. Taking this time to energetically cleanse your home, work out some issues with your family or roommates, or reconnect with your roots is a great way to support yourself emotionally at this time. Your personal space will be mega important to you, and strengthening your boundaries is a wonderful way to work this energy.

The Sun meets Mercury on October 27, which will be a great time for you to get clear on your needs at home, as well as to express your desires, boundaries, and emotions. Scorpio is intense as hell, so expect some deep stuff to come up.

Need a fresh start around all this home and family stuff? No worries: The stars have you covered. The new moon in Scorpio arrives on October 30, bringing you a new beginning! This is a lovely time to reconsider what home and family means to you.

This is also a wonderful time to settle into a new place if you're moving, or to think about what your ideal home is like. The vibe during this new moon is very magical, and any wishes you make now have a very good chance of coming true. But then again, have you ever failed at something you've put your mind to? I doubt it, Leo. See you in November!
