Jun 21 — Jul 22

October asks you to turn toward home, and the Sun moving through Libra in your fourth house of roots and private life sets the tone for most of the month. The new moon there on 10 October is a natural moment to look at the place you live in and the people who share it. Ask what would make it feel more like yours. The answer may be small: a chair moved to catch the afternoon light, a drawer finally cleared, a evening kept free of screens. Meanwhile the Moon sits in Gemini in your twelfth house of retreat and the unseen, so you may find your mind busier at the edges of the day, in the quiet before sleep or the first minutes after waking. Treat that chatter as weather rather than instruction. You do not have to answer every thought that passes. Toward the end of the month the Sun crosses into Scorpio on 23 October and lights your fifth house of play and affection, and your mood lifts toward warmth and expression. Let the first half of the month be for settling and the second for stepping out again, a little more openly than before.
