Foundational.

Libra or Libra Rising — Home, family, foundation, emotional connections. You’re in a new season, a new phase of life, one that is all about building a foundation for yourself. You can’t get more fundamental than home and family, the support for which everything rests on. Over the coming three years you may make a major move, plant down roots, build a home, or settle down. Capricorn is the sign that represents your roots, your ancestry, but Capricorn can feel like a hard sign, one marked by the duties and expectations of family. Make sure you are tending to what nourishes you on a deep level and allows the totality of your life to flourish.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

Aquarius, there’s so much going on behind the scenes. It’s as if you’re quietly preparing for a new life, a life that you’ll get a sneak peak from March to July 2020 when Saturn finally emerges into Aquarius … but only for a few months. The real new beginning happens at the end of 2020. In the meantime, you’re waiting in the wings, so to speak. You’re planning, dismantling, and rebuilding. Your dreams may be more active this month, especially as Pluto turns direct in Capricorn on October 3. Pay attention to the scenes and images that bubble up from your psyche for clues for deeper insight into this time in your life. That said, you may be traveling a lot this month. Libra, after all, is one of your travel signs and you step into October possibly planning a big trip or packing your suitcase. If you can’t travel, what’s going to let your mind wander? What’s going to feed your curiosity and open up the world to you? But it’s going to be hard to sit still once Mars arrives in Libra on October 4. It’s inspiring you to seek out different cultures or ways of thinking. And with Venus arriving in Scorpio on October 8, you may even be traveling or taking classes for work. That said, there’s a few strong aspects in the sky for you this month and the Sun’s bend of the Lunar Nodes on October 5 followed by a square to Pluto on October 14 may touch on some prickly or sensitive issues in relationship. Venus even opposes Uranus on October 12, so you’re going into the October 13 Aries Full Moon needing to open up to a radical new perspective or making a break from the past. The full moon also highlights travel and education even more, so it’s likely to be a busy Libra Season. When the Sun arrives in Scorpio on October 23, it steps into your career sign and you enter a new season devoted to ambition, success, and achievement. Things have been shifting in your life this year, Aquarius, and even though much of it is gestational, like the long wait for something to be born, a Scorpio New Moon on October 27 reminder that home and family are an area that are shaking up over the coming years. Despite the new moon’s focus on career, new opportunities, and maybe even a job change, it brings you back to one of the principal themes of 2019 — getting your emotional needs met and breaking away from the people and situations that no longer feed you. October and November may touch on a move that is both figurative and literal. Mercury goes into retrograde on October 31, so don’t do anything major if you can until later in November.
