Virgo, October 2016

Mercury retrograde is over, but are you ready to move forward?

September was brutal. Not only did you deal with two eclipses, both of which rocked you and your relationships, but your ruling planet, Mercury, was retrograde in your sign, making everything even more of a drag. It's over now! Mercury is direct, which means we don't need to worry about as many technical difficulties, miscommunications, and delays.

Mercury enters logical Air sign Libra on October 7, during which time it will activate the sector of your chart that rules cash—exciting! Are you ready to talk a lot about money? I hope so, because Mercury doesn't shut up. Libra is a cooperative energy, so these conversations should go smoothly. Everyone will want to play fair. Money won't be all that's on the menu: You'll be thinking and talking a lot about worth and value in general, as well as security and even your self-esteem.

An exciting piece of information about your finances or valuables will arrive on October 11, when Mercury meets the planet of luck and abundance, Jupiter, in Libra. Jupiter is an over-the-top energy, so be mindful that situations could get blown out of proportion or exaggerated, but, over-all, the vibe will be exciting.

Making your voice heard will be especially important to you on October 13 when Mercury clashes with warrior Mars in fellow Earth sign Capricorn. If you've been feeling undervalued, you'll feel pushed to discuss it now. Not getting "likes" on a post of your recent artwork will majorly bum you out today, and if your date's not into your outfit, you'll feel frustrated. But through these setbacks will come inspiration and the desire to change things—and that's always good!

Are you ready to talk a lot about money? I hope so!

On October 14, Mercury connects with stable, serious Saturn in Sagittarius, which will be helpful, especially on the home front and around your finances. This is a great time to talk to someone older and wiser about your plans: Some solid advice will come your way today.

Mid-month is intense, Virgo: The Sun in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries on October 15, and we have a full moon in Aries on October 16. Issues will spring up out of nowhere, which will be frustrating and painful unless you can be sympathetic to that fact that people are having a hard time communicating because they feel under pressure and as though their power or independence is being challenged. Ease off on others today—don't demand answers right away because people will get flustered and say stupid things.

Your sex life will be hit hard at this time, but that's not all: Your finances will intensely feel the effects as well, especially when it comes to things like debts, taxes, and inheritances. If you have sex with someone, share resources with them, or have a deep, weird, crazy connection with them, they'll be around this full moon! Full moons bring situations to a climax, so if something has been waiting to burst, it'll happen now.

Later this month, on October 20, Mercury will oppose Uranus, which will bring up these same issues around your intimate relationships again, but this time Mercury will offer its ability to communicate. Uranus is a genius energy, and when it's combined with Mercury, amazing ideas are formed. This is a wonderful time for problem solving—which is great, because the tension caused by these two planets will bring you lots of problems to work on. Which came first, Virgo, the chicken or the egg?

On October 18, Venus enters Sagittarius, sending blessings to your home and family life. This is the perfect time to call the parent who always complains that you don't get in touch. If you've been bickering with your roommates, things will chill out. Want to redecorate your space? Venus, the planet of beauty and harmony, will help you get organized and inspired to beautify your home. If someone you've been dating hasn't come over yet, now's a great time to invite them! Entertaining at home is a great way to honor Venus as it transits Sagittarius and lights up the home and family sector of your chart.

On October 22, the Sun enters Scorpio. Mercury follows soon after, entering Scorpio on October 24. The Sun and Mercury will light up the communication sector of your chart, which is much-needed after all the complications you've dealt with this month in your intimate relationships and around finances.

Your intuition will be razor sharp at this time. Emotional Water sign Scorpio is the sign of depth, so you'll be able to get to the bottom of whatever it is that's bugging you. Having a hard time getting a clear answer from others? Scorpio is the detective of the zodiac, so Mercury in Scorpio will inspire you to break out your spy kit and get your hands dirty digging through some trash. Gross, I know, and while you Virgos prefer to stay neat and tidy, if you think someone is fucking with or lying to you, you don't mind going through a dumpster or two. Is it the right thing to do? I don't know—but I do know that Mercury in Scorpio doesn't care! It wants answers! I feel sorry for anyone you might interrogate, honestly. Whatever you're going through, Virgo, you'll want answers and to know the whole entire truth, no matter how dirty it is.

The month wraps up with a new moon in Scorpio on October 30. This one is extra magical: Mercury in Scorpio will connect with dreamy Neptune in Pisces on the same ate. Whatever crazy shit you have going on, Virgo, this new moon will create a new beginning in your life. New information will come your way, an important conversation will go down, and it's likely that some important paperwork will finally get done. Reconnecting with your neighborhood and your siblings is also on the menu.

Neptune is the planet of dreams and fantasy, and it's sharing lovely vibes with chatty Mercury on October 30: This healing, empathetic energy will be really supportive! You'll feel this in your relationships: a feeling that anything is possible and that dreams can come true. Again, your psychic abilities are going to be strengthened during this time.

Expect to make some intense connections with your partners. Sitting with someone you love and staring into their eyes, attempting to transmit information using ESP, is a wonderful way to use this energy. Maybe you'll manage to send a psychic message! Or, if sending a psychic message doesn't work out, you two can have a laugh and feel a little closer to one another— extended eye contact isn't good for nothing.

You'll want answers this month, Virgo. While communication isn't smooth, you will get the information you need, and deep bonds will form. See you in November!
