Finances and overall security will be at the top of your to-do list this week with Mercury officially out of retrograde and zipping full steam ahead in Virgo and your second house of money and security. There’s no better time than now to get a clear-eyed perspective on your fiscal fitness and plot out the steps you need to take to meet your 2022 goals. On a related note, there’s no need to beat yourself up if the “finish line” is still a ways in the distance. Even if you’re carrying debt, you CAN get out of it with a solid plan and self-discipline. The latter is on tap this Thursday, October 6, as analytical Mercury forms a supportive trine with game-changing Pluto in your sixth house of hard work, organization and service. This planetary power surge can help you get creative about finding ways to get your cash flowing.
Is there someone you can ask for suggestions—or perhaps a temporary freelance gig? You’re such a multi-talented person, Leo! Think outside the box about all the things you have to offer, remembering that skills and talents that are second nature to you are worth a fortune to people who don’t have them. Another way to increase your bottom line is to cut out all unnecessary expenses. Extravagant meals, gifts, “playdates”? Fun as these are, they can quickly drain your resources. Make a list, check it twice, then nip a few in the bud. Repeat after us: No more giving till it hurts. Personal, heartfelt gifts are generally appreciated more than splashy “objets.”
While we’re talking about Pluto…on Saturday, the alchemical planet finally ends its annual five-month retrograde, once again taking place in your sixth house of work, wellness and organized systems. If you’ve been spinning your wheels more than gaining traction all summer, you’re probably MORE THAN ready to get a handle on the chaos and get back to a healthy lifestyle! Enough with frustration and futility! But if you’re not sure where to begin the program of renewal, start by simplifying your life. Take a sober look at the things you’ve acquired or signed on for that don’t, you know, spark joy. What can you tactfully bow out of without leaving someone high and dry? Your peace of mind is more important than “saving face,” so begin uncommitting yourself! And then slowly, as you create more free time in your life, fill up those slots with activities that make you happy and put you in touch with yourself. And honor those sixth-house activities by being sure to get regular exercise, eat nutritious meals—and making time for rest and relaxation.
