With your ruler, Mercury, and the Sun in your love sector to kick off October, you can be in a much better mood. You can be fun-loving, sociable, spend time with the people who make you enjoy life, and do the things you love to do most. Focus on creative projects and ventures, make time for goofing off and being young, and enjoy any attention you get. It can be a good time to play the romantic field too, if you’re single at the time. If not, you can have fun together.
Venus moves backward in Scorpio this month, so there is some challenging energy to battle. This can play out in your work, at school, with your daily tasks and chores, in your routine, or with your health, and you may not have the kind of focus you usually have or have too much on your plate so you feel overwhelmed.
You may miss deadlines and mess up your schedule, and feel like you’re taking on too much. Stress can be everywhere, and this can make you feel rundown physically. Try not to take on so much, and remember you’re just one person. Give yourself some flexibility with what needs to be done so you can lose a little time and not be left frantic. And if your body is feeling a little achy or you’re a little sniffly, take that as a cue to take a break and get some rest!
You can be tempted to try and do as much work as you can later in the month, but it may only serve to stress you out more, and you can be unfairly hard on yourself for it, so don’t give in. Be realistic about what you can achieve right now, and if everything ends up taking way more time than usual, so be it.
