The Week Ahead for Libra
Monday, October 12th – Sunday, October 18th
Mars-Saturn influences may not breed an abundance of joy, but they are purposeful. Reality and expedience are what this combination requires, so if you’re tying yourself up in knots trying to figure out what is going to please everyone else, make it simple: ask yourself what you want to do and what is going to produce the best result – not necessarily the same thing, of course. Make the hard decision now, put in the hard work now, and you’ll reap the benefits in the long-term. Take a short cut, opt for a quick fix, and you’ll face an even bigger dilemma further down the line.
The hard choice is the right choice.

Monday, October 5th – Sunday, October 11th
On Saturday, the only new moon in your sign this year takes place, and it comes just when you may need it most. This new moon offers a new start and some new input that could and should raise your spirits. The recent full moon (26 September) may have coincided with a disappointment or simply been a time when your spirits were low, but from this point on your confidence and faith in the future should grow. Maybe not everything in your world is perfect but with a newfound resolve, those impassable mountains should now appear negotiable.
A new outlook.

The Month Ahead for Libra
October 2026
It may make sense to leave a situation alone until you are in a position of knowledge, but if finances are involved, the sooner you open negotiations and get your ducks in a row, the better. Venus will head into retrograde on the 3rd, which may explain why a love affair cools or an offer which was on the table is withdrawn. It’s probably not the end of the story, so keep your hopes up. More than one hidden factor will come to light in October, which will be to your advantage, however, you need to be sure that there are no skeletons in your cupboard.

The Year Ahead for Libra
There were hints of things to come last year, and they are here with bells on in 2026… Uranus will establish itself in an area in which it can broaden your horizons in a variety of ways – travel, skills and experience – enabling some of you to spread your influence and attain a higher, even a global profile. Yet both these planetary changes will involve disruption. You may have to make a long-distance move or end a partnership, but what is in store for you necessitates a sacrifice. Front of the queue here are September-born Librans; the October birthdays have a smoother ride yet not quite as many dreamy events.
