Virgo

Virgo (Ruling Planet: Mercury; Element: Earth) You’re a natural problem solver, Virgo, and you are extremely practical. Your intelligence, trustworthiness, and attention to detail usually make you the best person for the job. You’re adaptable, for an Earth sign. You’re also analytical, sometimes to a fault. You can be overly critical and a harsh perfectionist, but only because you’re afraid of exposing your own vulnerabilities.

A slow and stubborn start to the month is in store for you, with your ruling planet transiting Libra on the 7th. Days later, a very serious full moon in Aries will leave you with emotions on either side of the spectrum, and it might be helpful to find an outlet for the frustrations to come. Consider starting little projects, especially domestic ventures as Venus touches Sagittarius on October 18th. With the planet of love in this location, your heart swoons for someone sweet, supportive, and who understands your emotions. So when the Sun and Mercury shift into Scorpio only days later, there’s a good chance that your social encounters will bring you this sweetie- just in time to plan your couples’ costume! If not, things will perk up as the new moon in Scorpio comes into full view on the 30th, and another positive interaction awaits.

Your Trax: To help things flow calmly and smoothly this month, why not create an equally calm, smooth soundtrack for October? Something like Hum by Eerie Wanda, a sparkly psych-pop band from Amsterdam, NE, could do the trick. “Ladies Don’t Play Guitar” by Tennis similarly provides soothing, fuzzy pop melodies. And If you’re looking for something a little less indie-pop, Orlando, FL band SALES makes alt-electro music that’s soft, sweet, and sassy.
