Leo

Jul 23 — Aug 22

October opens with Mars and Jupiter both resting in Leo, in your first house of self and presence, and that is a rare kind of fuel. You may notice that people respond to your plain statements more readily than usual, and that your own appetite for starting things is hard to ignore. The task is to choose one beginning rather than five. Early in the month, the new moon in Libra on 10 Oct falls in your third house of conversation and everyday surroundings, so the fresh start is likely to be small and local: a different way of speaking to a neighbour, a message you have been postponing, a route you finally change. From 23 Oct the Sun moves into Scorpio and your fourth house of home and roots, and the tone turns inward. You may want your own door closed and your own kitchen quiet. Let that happen without apology. A useful habit this month is to spend the first ten minutes of the day without a screen, standing near a window, and notice which of your two moods, the outward or the inward, is asking for the day. Follow it where it is reasonable to do so.
