Your October 2024 Horoscope for Libra
by Susan MillerYou have a lot on your plate during this birthday month! Mars is still in your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement, giving you a sterling opportunity to prove your worth in the marketplace and to rack up new career victories. You’ve not had this kind of help from Mars for two years, and happily, Mars will remain with you until November 3.
This is an important time for you to make tracks on the path to success. Mars is about to go retrograde in early degrees of Leo on December 6 and stay retrograde until February 23—nearly three months. When Mars retrogrades, clients tend to hesitate to spend money and seem not to be able to make up their minds about any proposals you bring up (everyone is in the same boat, so the world economy will be slow as we enter the holiday season through the first months of 2025).
When Mars does return to normal, it will take him until April 30 to be fully functional. (This slowdown will happen no matter who is elected to power politically.) I tell you this, not to depress you but so that you will use October, a good strong month, to forge forward!
On top of this coming situation, Mars’ little copycat brother Mercury will go retrograde too, and beat his big brother to the punch, retrograding from November 25 to December 15, and that will shoot a hole in holiday shopping. Urge your customers to shop early—and follow your own advice. Later, purchasing gift cards may be your best option.
