Lucky things happen to you as September ends. Career is especially blessed – but weird, too – as some opportunities come to nil and others will bloom like wildflowers. Stay open to all. That’s the strangeness of Pluto, going direct October 13. You have until October 13 to make the most of this luck. It will literally set you up for life.
At the same time, you’re distracted by a scenario involving home and property. A full blood Harvest Moon occurs in your fourth house October 6 and you profit but at what cost? Quite dramatic for the Goat who prefers to be steady-footed. Know that when conflict shows up, it’s ultimately there to serve you. And with the wisdom of your ruler Saturn, you triumph and make it for the better. You move back into the world in grand style.
Take care of your inner and be protective of your vulnerability. For in your most public tenth house you have:
Awesome, life-giving Sun
Brilliant thought and word planet Mercury
Lovey planet of beauty and love Venus as of October 13
A New Libra Moon October 21
And your tenth house, traditionally ruled by ambitious Capricorn, covers these areas of your life:
Your career
Your reputation
Your legacy
Professional acclaim
Your future foundations
Your public life
Fame
Your image
Higher-ups: the people with money in your world
Ambition
Promotions
Awards
What you strive to be like
Responsibility
And sometimes – your MOTHER
A slight warning about this Solar Eclipse Virgo New Moon September 21 – it does come with difficulties. It brings a career opportunity – but with a challenge to obtaining it. Due to Uranus’ tight square with the Moon there’ll likely be some kind of disappointment and betrayal involved. A colleague or friend may let you down, even deceive you, in work matters or office politics. There’s a fair amount of competition involved.
But as October begins, you have other things to worry about. You move on surprisingly easily.
October 1, your ruler Saturn in retrograde moves into Pisces and I wouldn’t be surprised if ancient family grudges didn’t get stirred up at the beginning of October. Saturn brings lessons, and lots and lots of homework. Not much fun perhaps initially, a lot of hard work and learning, but the end result – its deeply earned wisdom – is as beautiful a thing as to be breathtaking. Impressive and noble and inspiring.
So, family still has a lot to teach you it seems. And there’s more learning also with property and home. You’d be a natural if you ever decided to be a realtor.
The Aries Full Moon October 6 shines down most intensely on the area of your home, property, family. Full Moons indicate culmination and that which has been building up in your home or family is ready to release and you can finally make a decision. In fact, you have to make a decision. It’s time. Everyone agrees. It’s time to move forward and to move on.
Plans shift, reverse out of your control, yet you continue forward. You step from September’s bewildering end into a wildly ambitious October where you will make your dreams real.
No pressure but this is a critical turning point. Your most important consideration needs to be of others, mostly your professional colleagues. If you piss them off – and we’ve been down this road before together – you lose. Please don’t. An awesome career opportunity is blasted your way with a new address (or new desk) in the works. So keep your bags packed and your foot on the gas pedal. Life changes drastically with this proposal, even overnight.
Thanks to the Virgo Solar Eclipse New Moon coming September 21, you are asked to leap on this quickly. Do it. The universe is bringing you to an impressive new level. Brava, Capricorn.
The successes you have relied on are about to be tested and what no longer works now needs to be left behind. This may include a relationship that has become too demanding.
From now until the end of 2027, your priority attention will be focused on what you need from others and what they need from you. You may have to care-take someone or something, emotionally, legally, or financially. Striking a balance between the cooperative and the competitive can be a delicate dance. Your learning curve is sure to move along a lot quicker when you see your reflection through the mirror of experience.
Remember, dear Goat, that you were born to be a leader. Remember this particularly around the new Libra Moon October 21. It happens in your tenth house of career achievement and fame. Exciting startups with promise of tremendous travel beckon.
So aim to stretch yourself creatively, intellectually or socially this October. You’ll benefit from fresh sources of inspiration/new things to think about. Jupiter and Uranus call for outside of the box thinking – if it’s different or has just arrived on the scene, it’s worth checking out. When you feel inspired, you can go non-stop; when you’re bored – well, it will be obvious.
Venus and Jupiter both plunge you deeper into travel, training, study, or teaching mode. As best you can, work to advance education, publishing or career ambitions, but also make sure to leave yourself as much room to maneuver as you can. Previously cherished goals may not seem as important as new considerations come to your attention. You may also find that those you have trusted, hired (agents and the like), or taken at their word may not come through for you in the way you had hoped. There are sure to be multitude of reasons or excuses.
You can also expect to reconnect with friends, clients, and colleagues, especially those who have been instrumental to you in the past.
The tenth public house, need I say, is YOUR house. That is, the house that Capricorn traditionally rules: career, public acclaim, fame, ambition – and yes, your mother.
So, be proud of it, and claim this house as your castle. YOUR right.
Keep your head and wits about you as you go about manifesting your plans and ideals this month. It’s a terrific time for you to achieve. The universe is helping you in every way possible.
As great as this is for your career, take care of yourself when it comes to your feelings. Don’t be hard on yourself emotionally. Just be careful when it comes to the daydreaming. This, dear Capricorn, is the only obstacle I see holding you up this October. Stay realistic when wonderful offers come your way. Think long term, as only you can do. Then decide.
Security is key here. Do n0t throw caution to the winds and trust in strange portents. Think future and think security. Keep your body in top running order, be especially safety conscious and put more attention toward preventative health or existing health concerns.
People will reappear, whether in actuality or through memory. In your case, most likely career contacts and celebrity clients.
While in Libra, Mercury can also ignite trust issues, legal issues, and relationship power struggles. You could feel a sense of abandonment or find the need to abandon something that you once held as dear. Watch for leaks, guard our valuables and your tongue, keep safe, and avoid polluted environments. Also, be on the watch for people who are polluting to your sense of self or are simply corrupt.
Positively, Mercury in Libra offers an ideal time for soul searching and for inner exploration; seek counseling or other advice if you need it. Mercury in Libra can bring a willingness to give it another try.
