Planets move into your career sector in October. Mars gets there first. He’ll be in Sagittarius (your career sign) by the 7th. Mercury doesn’t move in until the end of the month (the 29th), but the sun moves in next month, and you’ll have career energy in some form until early January. Fortunately for you, you have a jolly, humorous career sign that loves to laugh and be amused by a subject that other signs take very very seriously.
That’s good because humor is very helpful in the working world, although it must be admitted that Mars in Sagittarius can open his big mouth at times and blurt out excessively honest, blunt, or revealing things. Mars in Sagittarius is balanced out by Jupiter in Gemini, your home and private life sign, so the idea is to give equal attention to both sides of your life.
The highlight of the month, though, is Saturn moving from Libra to Scorpio on the 5th. Scorpio is your sign of long-distance travel. When Saturn activates a sector (as it will for about the next 2 1/2 years), it increases the activity in that area but makes it rugged (mountain-climbing treks!), or it depresses activity in that area of your life. Should be interesting if it increases activity!
Saturn moving out of Libra also could potentially affect your finances. You’ve had Uranus and Saturn in financial sectors recently, and Saturn may have been depressing your ability to capitalize financially on your skills and abilities. You may have more energy for making money in the coming years.
Saturn in Scorpio is more extreme than Saturn in Libra, because Scorpio is a more extreme sign than Libra. During October, Saturn will be making a happy trine with Neptune in your own sign. You may experience more admiration from others this month, as Neptune’s glow around you is illuminated by Saturn’s spotlight.
Saturn in Scorpio may also make Neptune and Chiron in your own sign a bit more willing to look at facts instead of just their own fantasies. You may even find that facts aren’t so bad at all, once you get used to them.
Saturn in Scorpio is also in a more helpful angle with Pluto in Capricorn than he was in Libra. Pluto and Saturn will be in an especially good mood with each other throughout Saturn’s stay in Scorpio (due to something called mutual reception, which essentially means being on the same page with each other). Since Pluto is in your solar sector of friendship and assistance from others, Saturn will be useful in encouraging your colleagues to do as much for you as they can.
Saturn gets a bad rap in astrology, but in Scorpio, you may come to find that you actually really like him and what he can do.
