October starts with a new moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 2nd, setting the tone for a month that is not going to be easy or breezy. Libra will dominate the energy this month, symbolized by partnership, balance, and beauty. The solar eclipse could bring back people and themes from the past, encouraging reflection and transition rather than clear endings or beginnings.
Midmonth, Jupiter retrogrades in Gemini, while Pluto goes direct in Capricorn. This could lead to conflicting energies and a struggle between inner work and proving one’s purpose. Mercury will be in Libra for the first part of the month, encouraging diplomacy and reason in conversations, while Mars in Cancer may bring about challenging emotions that need to be navigated carefully.
As the month progresses, both Mercury and Venus move into Scorpio, bringing haunted house energy and an increased desire to explore taboo topics. By the middle of the month, Venus moves into Sagittarius, offering a sense of hope and lightness in relationships. The full hunter’s moon in Aries on October 17th may bring about heightened emotions and the need for self-inquiry rather than explosive expression.
Towards the end of the month, the sun moves into Scorpio, encouraging stillness and deep introspection. Each zodiac sign will be affected differently by the planetary movements this month, with themes of relationships, habits, communication, and self-worth coming to the forefront for each sign. Overall, October is a month of reflection, transformation, and deep healing for many signs, with a focus on balance, partnership, and inner growth.
For Aries, relationships are highlighted, while Taurus may focus on achieving a better work-life balance. Geminis are encouraged to embrace creativity and play, Cancers should focus on home and family, and Leos on communication. Virgos are reminded of their worth, while Libra season brings expansion and growth for Libras. Scorpios should focus on healing, Sagittarius on community, and Capricorns on long-term goals. Aquarians are encouraged to focus on spiritual pursuits while Pisces should focus on transformation and deep connections.
