Your Weekly Horoscope By Element: October 1-8, 2012

WEEKLY UPDATE

This week, with the change in a major planet, Saturn, you may feel restless, tired, worn out, or anxious for a change. After the ups and downs in September, the small bumps and grinds in October will feel like no problem. Go ahead and exhale, for you can expect smoother sailing throughout the coming month!

The celestial dance begins on October 3rd, when Venus moves into Virgo. This altruistic match will encourage you to lend a helping hand; in fact, you won't feel completely fulfilled until you've dedicated time to someone in need.

Then, on October 5th, Saturn swoops in with the month's biggest astrological event. This serious and restrictive planet is about to move out of Libra to take up residence in dark, secretive Scorpio! Saturn has no time for waste or excess, so it will force you to cut anything unnecessary out of your life. And since Scorpio rules sexuality, intimate relationships, joint finances, and personal transformation, those are the areas where Saturn will turn its focus. This won't be the easiest of transits, and lasts for two and one-half years, but after everything you went through over the last six months, you'll be able to take whatever Saturn and Scorpio dish out with a strengthened resolve.

Fortunately, October 7th sees Mars rushing into Sagittarius, adding further fuel to this Fire sign's outspokenness and indicating that it's time to stop talking and start doing! The very next day, Mars aligns itself with Neptune, making for an extra-glamorous October 8th!...but that’s next week already.
