YOUR STARS FOR October
Lucy's MONTHLY BLOG
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Hold onto your hats, it’s a blue moon month! Yes, there are two full moons – meaning double the drama. Uh-oh!
October kicks off with a full moon in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, marking the beginning of a new cycle. It’s the new year for witches and a generally busy time for all of us, as the planets clearly show.
Mars is still travelling backwards this month, suggesting there’s progress behind the scenes. Happily, Jupiter is also making a link to compassionate Neptune mid-month, bringing much-needed healing to the world. The final Mercury Retrograde of 2020 starts on the 14th in reserved Scorpio, which could mean that closely-guarded secrets are revealed. The new moon beams into Libra on the 16th, bringing potential for new beginnings.

Procrastination can be a big issue for you. You’re a lover of justice and can’t bear unfairness, but you also like serenity and the good things in life – squalor is not your thing. Watch out for over-indulgence! Although you’ve got a quick mind, you’re also a bit too trusting at times. Don’t be taken for a fool.
Your love life
You’re happiest in a relationship. Romantic and soft-hearted, you’d do anything for your one and only true love. At times you can wear rose coloured glasses and think your partner can do no wrong. This can make disillusionment when it happens tough. You’re not above a bit of banter, and verbal sparring will keep you on your toes. You’re a master flirt! But when it
