Susan Miller's Leo Horoscope for October 2018

If you've been feeling a little down in recent months, you're right. If you've read the horoscopes for the past few months, you'll know that I spent a lot of time describing in detail the many difficulties brought about by Mars retrograde (June 26-August 27). Mars has extremely high energy and can provide great support for any venture you want to successfully carry out. Without the help of Mars, you might find it difficult to move forward. Even high-ranking officials may feel overwhelmed or hesitant.

It doesn't help that Mercury is retrograde, which means you won't be able to successfully negotiate contracts, launch advertising or promotional campaigns. Therefore, if you must push forward during the Mercury retrograde period from July 25 to August 18, you will get half the result with twice the effort, and you will not understand why no matter how hard you try.

As September approaches, you may breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the situation will be easier. However, the universe wants us to continue to focus on the past, and as much as everyone wants to move on, the fact is that we haven't dealt with the past very well. Many of us like to hear that there are new opportunities to exploit, and that will indeed appear in December, but for now, we need to slow down, review what has been done, and look for ways to make improvements. What’s the point of constantly launching new projects if some of them don’t turn out to be the best?

One of my favorite seventh-grade teachers always stressed the importance of producing the best performance possible. As we grew up, she told us to constantly strive to be better because we would become more proficient at our jobs and would rejoice in the growth and improvement we made with each year. Here is what she said, and I will never forget it:

"Your final report must be the best, because if one day an atomic bomb explodes and destroys everything, then your report will be a symbol of human civilization."

I was 12 years old when I was in seventh grade, and from that moment on, this phrase became my mission. When I tell my friends this, they laugh and ask, “Are you really inspired by this?” Every time I answer with a resounding “Yes!”

Dear readers, maybe you will have the same feeling as I do when you read this. If so, it means that I have completed my mission of inheritance. You will continue to strive for excellence. (This doesn’t mean I’ve achieved the perfection my teachers once demanded, but I’ve always pushed myself to the limit and it’s been fun to see the progress.)

Venus will be retrograde from October 5 to November 16, and the area of ​​life she rules is very different from Mercury and Mars. Although all planets will retrograde, the retrograde motion of Mercury, Venus, and Mars will have the most direct impact on everyone because their orbits are closest to the Earth.

In contrast to Mars, which represents powerful masculine energy, Venus is a feminine, soft and receptive energy. Venus rules beauty, love and romance in all its forms. When any planet goes retrograde, it retains its greatest power.

You might think you can just make it until the middle of next month. No, on November 16, the same day Venus turns direct, Mercury will begin to go retrograde, a period that will last until December 6.

Mercury goes retrograde three times a year because every time it gets 27.5 degrees ahead of the Sun, it is dragged in by the Sun. This was the deal that Mercury sealed when he secured his seat on Mount Olympus. The Sun admires Mercury's cleverness, worldly wisdom, and quick thinking, so Mercury speaks for the Sun. The Sun doesn't want Mercury wandering around the inner solar system - he needs Mercury!

For Leo, Venus is the natural ruler of the third house, which rules travel, communication, and contracts, so these matters will slow down. You might say, this is also the area ruled by Mercury - communication! That’s right, since the star charts were set by the ancients, Mercury was chosen as the natural ruler of the third house for all signs, so it’s a double whammy for Leo.

October and November are not auspicious months for buying new phones, cell phones, luxury goods or jewelry. Since Venus rules the third house in Leo's chart, which is naturally ruled by Mercury, the situation for Leo is very different from that of other signs. The best part is that this December is the best holiday shopping season in years (after the 6th). Last year, Mercury was retrograde from December 3 to December 22, posing a challenge for people when shopping for Christmas gifts. Last year many people only bought gift cards. This year, we can get a little more creative when it comes to buying Christmas presents.
