Not everyone who has vast sums of money is happy. Although money can facilitate opportunities we might not have experienced otherwise, it offers no guarantee of happiness or contentment. Although you might wish your bank account was fuller, it's important not to overlook how your heart is becoming fuller in some way. Your values are being updated, and this can lead to you becoming less materially preoccupied. As your confidence increases, you can take steps to enhance your material status. However, you could also be reminded of how the best things in life really are free.

Coming weeks will likely involve plenty of pondering related to love and money. Venus turns retrograde on October 5, encouraging you to reassess relationships, finances and identify how either or both can be improved. Your revelations could be integral to bringing healing or closure, but it will be ways to enhance your financial status that receive the most thought or planning. This is reinforced by a New Moon on October 8 influencing earned income. Might a past method of boosting your earnings be worth a second go now? A Full Moon on the 24th encourages you to broaden your mind and horizons. Any way in which you've been a bit too inflexible with your thinking or have closed your mind unhelpfully could change. The world needs more people willing to 'think outside the box,' and you can attract the right kind of attention by doing so this month!
