Happy October, everyone! We now find ourselves in sun in Libra, and according to astrology, this is an incredible time to balance and cultivate peace and harmony into our lives. Libra rules all things beautiful, sensuous, and harmonic, so taking time to enjoy the arts, peaceful relationships, and the like are all encouraged. The new moon in Libra (September 30, 2016) just passed, so make sure to start the month with your new intentions. Anything circumventing around balance and relationships is great.

Have a beautiful month, everyone, and read on to see what the cosmos offers your unique sign this month!
