WITCH TIPS

The Libra New Moon occurs in the morning of October 6, followed by the direct motion of Pluto in Capricorn, after a nearly five month retrograde. Emotions will be intensified on October 6, but will temporarily lighten up the following day when Venus enters Sagittarius. These good vibes will change on October 9, when Venus links up with the South Node of Destiny in the morning. We may feel stuck and unsure of how to proceed. Mars in Libra is active this week, as it connects with the Sun on October 8 and Mercury retrograde on October 9, the same day the Sun and Mercury retrograde align. This current Libra stellium is making our sentiments more passive and complex than ever, as we are unsure of how to handle emotional imbalances and injustices. Saturn’s direct motion in Aquarius on October 10 will add order to our lives by ensuring things are more structured and less chaotic or up in the air. 

Aries

Think twice before joining forces with another to create a collaborative project. The scales of power may be off-center in this alliance, which may leave you standing with all the work resting on your shoulders. Define the roles before taking this on to avoid adding more stress to your life.

Taurus 

The need for self-care is strong this week. Treat yourself to a long week bath with fresh flowers to melt away your stresses, a relaxing day in which you get a massage, meditate, or do yoga. Your body, mind, and spirit is in need of R & R right now.

Gemini 

Don’t let the drop in temperatures outside create chilliness with those you care about. Although you are apt to play it cool with others, do not be too aloof that you create distance with friends and family. Try to add passion, heat, and sentimentality to maintain closeness in your relationships.

Cancer 

The foundation in your home life is changing, making you feel as though you’re a little off kilter. Therefore, it’s important to take a minute away from these situations and breathe. Let all the stress and anxiety come out as you navigate through everything at your own pace this week.

Leo

Your feelings are getting in the way of making precise and concise decisions. Therefore, it’s important for you to separate  your sentiments from situations that aren’t personal in order to gain control over them. If it’s not an attack or criticism of you directly, then let go of the drama.

Virgo 

You have the power to set the tone of your intimate relationships this week. Instead of going hard on making a point, choose kindness in discussing your feelings with others. This will change the dynamic and dialogue, adding compassion and sympathy to the conversation. Try a little tenderness and gentleness. 

Libra 

Your creative sentiments are on the rise, which is making you feel yourself more than ever. With your artistry, money, and confidence working together in a harmonious flow, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world and able to make anything happen. This will help you make better decisions.

Scorpio 

It’s not that you have to win every argument this week, but you’re not backing down from the drama (even if you aren’t emotionally or personally attached to the situation). Instead of holding onto the negativity, let it go and move on. Remember, you are only fighting a lost cause.

Sagittarius 

An acquaintance may decide to meddle into your personal affairs and tell you how to handle your relationships. While you’ll appreciate the advice at first, you’ll shortly come to see that you need to create boundaries because they are giving unsolicited advice without knowing the whole scope of the matter.

Capricorn 

Some may say that you’re a dreamer and a calmer version of yourself, which will ring personally true to you this week. It’s not that you’re avoiding confrontation, you are just finding that there are alternative and prescription ways to handle conflict which don’t lead to an overflow of emotions.

Aquarius 

As situations mount up, you’re finding that you need assistance in taking them on and completing them. Don’t be afraid and too prideful to ask for help. No one is judging you for meeting a shoulder to cry on or someone to aid you in the process of finishing protects. 

Pisces

Finding the right words to express yourself may be hard to do, which is why you should look to other methods to let your feelings be known. As one of the most creative signs of the zodiac, you can certainly find inventive ways to speak up even if you can’t.
