Celebrity astrologer Neda Farr has identified the four star signs set to enjoy a month of good fortune in October, despite a “retrograde extravaganza” featuring Venus Retrograde from October 3 and Mercury Retrograde from October 24.
Farr explained: “The October 10 Libra New Moon starts a completely new cycle in your love life, Pluto turns direct October 15, and Mars and Jupiter in Leo bring major momentum, confidence, attention and opportunity! For some signs, the luck is a new person, an invitation, a career opportunity, travel or finally getting the thing they’ve been waiting for.”
Sagittarius — Sun/Moon/Rising
Mars and Jupiter are moving through your sector of travel, adventure, opportunities, education and expansion, making October a month where saying yes can take you somewhere you never expected. A spontaneous trip, international opportunity, invitation, new experience or person from somewhere completely different could suddenly open your world.
October 10 is especially lucky socially because the Libra New Moon activates your 11th house of friendships, connections and people who can open doors for you. You could meet someone who becomes incredibly important through an event, friend or introduction. Then October 23–24, Scorpio season and Mercury Retrograde turn you inward, so something you thought was finished may quietly return for another chance. Your luck this month comes through going somewhere new, meeting different people and saying yes to opportunities that weren’t originally part of your plan.
Leo — Sun/Moon/Rising
October has main-character energy written all over it for you. Jupiter, the planet associated with growth and opportunity, is moving through Leo, while Mars is there too, giving you an unusual combination of opportunity and courage to actually go after it. You’re more noticeable. People are paying attention. Something you’ve been trying to make happen can suddenly start moving because you’re finally in the right room, meeting the right person or willing to make the first move.
The October 10 Libra New Moon can bring an exciting message, introduction, offer, meeting or short trip that leads somewhere bigger than expected. Then October 26, the Taurus Full Moon activates your 10th house of career, reputation and recognition. Something you’ve been working toward can become visible: praise, an opportunity, a promotion, recognition, a major professional conversation or somebody influential noticing what you’re doing. October’s luck isn’t passive for you — you have Jupiter opening doors and Mars giving you the nerve to walk straight through them.
Libra — Sun/Moon/Rising
You’re getting one of the biggest personal resets of the entire zodiac this month. The Sun begins October in Libra, putting attention directly on you, and then the October 10 New Moon happens in Libra. Think of this as your cosmic reset button. Something you’ve wanted to change about your appearance, identity, relationships, confidence or direction can finally begin moving. You could meet someone new, receive an opportunity, change how people see you or simply realise that you’re ready for an entirely different chapter.
Meanwhile Mars and Jupiter are moving through your 11th house of friendships, networking, audiences and connections, meaning your luck can literally come through people. A friend introduces you to someone. You get invited somewhere important. Your audience grows. Someone recommends you. You enter a room and meet exactly the person you needed to meet. And October 25 is enormous because your ruling planet Venus retrogrades back into Libra. Something, or someone, you thought you missed your chance with could come back around. October is reminding you that sometimes the second chance is actually the lucky break.
