Leo monthly horoscope

Mars is in your sign for the whole of October, and it does not sit still. It trines Neptune on October 2, opposes Pluto at 3.1° on October 3, sextiles Uranus at 5.4° on October 7, and trines Saturn at 10.4° on October 16. Read that as a sequence: imagination, then a collision with someone else’s will in your solar seventh house of partnership, then a fast opening, then — best of the four — the day your drive and your patience finally agree. October 16 is the day to push something heavy uphill.

Jupiter is also in Leo, and on October 15 the Sun sextiles it at 22.0° from Libra and your third house of conversation and short trips. Say the thing. It travels further than you expect that week, and Jupiter in your own sign means the reception is warmer than the message strictly earns. The new moon at 17.4° Libra on October 10 resets that third house: a new rhythm of correspondence, a local arrangement, a sibling conversation restarted. The Sun opposed Saturn at 11.3° on October 4 before it, so the first week has the sharper tone — someone slows you down and you dislike it.

The second half moves indoors. The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23 and your fourth house of home, Mercury stations retrograde at 21.0° Scorpio on October 24 in the same place, and household logistics will need doing twice. Venus has been retrograde there since October 3, at 8.5° Scorpio, so the home question has been open all month; it moves to your third house on October 25, still retrograde. Then the full moon at 2.8° Taurus on October 26 tops your tenth house of career, and something public completes. Pluto turned direct in your partnership house on October 16, and that is the quieter story underneath.
