What you see in others and what others see in you
Believe in the positive effects you have, Aries. Your half-birthday is an opportunity to see the results or culmination of initiatives set six months ago. Be open to feedback and you’ll have more to gain through one-on-one interactions. During Mercury retrograde, it’s best to clarify issues, review both sides and make revisions to these identified pain points. Know when to release tension. Tap into the creativity of people from different backgrounds who can provide vision. While this exercise can expand your ambitions, remember not to take shortcuts to get quick results. You’re in a unique moment to make a lasting impression. No matter what the outcome, you’ll reach a heightened sense of awareness. Reflect what you want to see.
Sense of service
Putting ego aside will help you accomplish more, Taurus. This month sees you getting things done with a greater sense of purpose. Recognize the subtle differences between negotiating and mediating. Your ability to find the middle ground and bring common sense provides much-needed support in building better protocols, especially in areas of customer service. Your efforts won’t go unnoticed in the long run and may generate shared assets. Make a note to not over-stress yourself as you could be enshrouded with consuming thoughts. While Mercury retrogrades can reveal miscommunications, don’t let this period of Mercury retrograde impact your mental health. Set a daily routine to ease your mind and stay on track with what’s most important to you.
Social play
Embrace your free spirit, Gemini. This month is very intellectually stimulating despite your ruling planet Mercury currently retrograding. Yes, be sure to backlog information and be mindful of what you communicate, but also leave room for joy! Social engagements are a source of inspiration even if you can’t find the words to satisfy the moment. Sometimes nonverbal language says more. Positive developments in your business partnerships can occur and give you the enthusiasm you thought you had lost. You’ve done much to reflect on past prejudices and beliefs to sharpen your foresight, and it’s resulting in better investment plans. Look for ways previous ideas can adapt to current strategies and try to move forward.
Finding peace at the center
Stay true to your core convictions, Cancer. This month is about reconciling with past events in order to build better foundations. Your brand may be tested by forces that counter your efforts, but don’t let this deter you. Instead, evaluate your professional growth and reinforce your messaging. What can you use from past experiences to mend current issues? The will to work for the greater good attracts cooperation. Pay particular attention to your immediate environment. Matters that are confronted successfully bear fruit in a few month’s time. Brand collaborations continue to be transformative to your brand. Awareness of how you deal with others defines who you are as a leader. Make a stand for what you can justify for yourself.
Make it clear
What areas of communication need more clarity this month, Leo? Maybe it’s going back to a work colleague’s text or email from months ago. It’s worth revisiting conversations during a Mercury retrograde. Coherent language shows respect and has a positive trickle-down effect with those you interact with everyday. Socializing offline can be especially effective for business development and keep you busy. There’s a higher chance of partnerships starting to develop later in the month. Just be mindful of the larger goals you’ve set in place for your brand. Your creativity seeks to express itself without limitation. To you, there’s a world of possibilities that can be achieved. Start with the goal on top of your list and go from there.
A thing of beauty
Brand aesthetic is the focus this month, Virgo. After experiencing your recent solar return, you enter October feeling revitalized with a new perspective on what you value most and what beauty means to you at its core. Invite reflection when it helps you balance what your brand no longer needs to hold onto like unused inventory. Donation drives can be a possible avenue for relief and can lead to transformative gains in authentic brand engagement. The encouragement from others is a never-ending resource. Hold off on making significant transactions while Mercury retrogrades if you can. Prioritize enjoying what assets you already have and make the most of it. Confusing self-worth for brand success devalues your immeasurable potential.
The allure of language
Happy birthday, Libra! It’s hard to resist your charm during your cosmic season. Take advantage of the opportunity this month to outwardly showcase your new energy and revitalized drive. While Mercury is in retrograde in your sign, it’s an excellent time for self-reflection. What about your brand identity do you wish to share? What are you passionate about as a leader? You’ve gained a lot of knowledge through your hard work over the last year. Honor that growth. Physically, you feel more active, which can boost stamina if you are traveling or moving offices. This month gives you a chance to discover a different side of your creative expression. Whatever you plan next is sure to have a personal flair to it.
What you choose to say and not say
What are you planning behind the scenes this month, Scorpio? Conducting new research keeps you busy and helps you evaluate your brand with better insight. The insight can be quite uplifting and brings your brand story full circle. Spend more time putting roots down now that you’ve spent time inspecting the foundation. The period before your birthday often reminds us of obstacles we’ve overcome and how much further we seek to grow. See yourself with more fairness. Looking back at past cycles can be especially effective during Mercury retrograde. Pause to confront yourself before addressing others. If you’re planning travel, be sure to not ignore what you actually have to spend. Reward yourself with good foresight. Your future self will thank you.
Professional friendships
Group discussions spark ideas this month, Sagittarius. If you’re able to be out and about safely, be social. Networking can certainly help to shape your goals and let others know what they can expect from you if you’re anticipating a new cycle for your business. As you look forward to what your brand could potentially become, take time to reflect on the nuance of past interactions with friends and colleagues, particularly if they’re of a younger demographic. In what ways are your ideals different? You’re in an excellent position to strike deals, compromise and attract attention. However, your high ambitiousness may cause tension. Be sure to highlight shared interests when confronted by disagreement. You’re still the same big dreamer, just with more practical interests.
Ambassador of beauty
Your ability to lead is quite apparent this month, Capricorn. Diplomacy flows naturally to you, and you’re able to handle unresolved issues with a certain grace. There’s more determination to see your goals through to the very end. During the second half of October, you may see the merit of your efforts as a boost in your finances. Invest in what you really value. Check in with your colleagues to avoid miscommunication. As more eyes are on you, be extra careful about how your brand comes across on public platforms. Spiritually you’re feeling freer and letting yourself daydream more frequently again. Let yourself dream. You’re more aware of who you are now and nothing can unravel that.
Applying new philosophies to old cycles
Learn something new by breaking out of your everyday norm this month, Aquarius. It could be in the form of studying a creatively stimulating subject or taking an enlightening trip. Business conferences could be a potential avenue to explore with your colleagues as well. Interacting with people of different professional backgrounds in the beauty and wellness space can inspire you. Whatever you do, it’s important to recognize and delineate what’s working and what’s not working for your brand. Addressing legal issues may also be a theme this month. Your decisive action will be required. You’ve done so much to sustain the growth of your brand. The sum of all your experiences can go a long way in cementing lasting transformation.
Creating beautiful impact
Concentrate on your brand’s long-term investments this month, Pisces. Your brand design and aesthetic may see gains in October, which can lead to favorable business circumstances. It’s important to be financially prepared. During Mercury retrograde, you’ll want to dive deeper than usual to restructure your shared assets. If there are any disagreements regarding joint finances, you may need to reexamine and modify your position. Keep your receipts. Assistance from others can provide desired support for your goals and have an overall positive, transformative effect. There’s a sense of clearing away what doesn’t spiritually affirm you. In order to achieve greater things, some things must be left behind.
