Are you feeling at peace with your financial situation? Libra season is the time for you to look at your income, spending habits, and budget, and figure out a balance that works for you. You work hard—you’re the sign of service, Virgo—and you deserve to feel valued for your hard work and paid accordingly, so use Libra season’s fantastic energy for negotiation and ask for a raise! But, be very careful of envy and obsession on October 1: Venus in Libra squares off with the lord of the underworld, Pluto, in Capricorn. While you may make a serious power move at this time, you also have to watch out for manipulative behavior. If you have a sense that something shady is going on, bring in an unbiased third party to help mediate.
