ARIES RISING & SUN
October kicks off with a Libra New Moon – Solar Eclipse in your Seventh House of interpersonal relations and partnership. This especially potent New Moon, initiates a nine-year paradigm in relationships. Though, a spiky square aspect with crabby Mars in your Cancer Fourth House of home, privacy and EMOTIONAL foundations, indicates intimate or family drama taking center stage, some relationships could radically pivot. Due to a tough aspect between the messenger Mercury and instigative Mars through October 6th, an especially sensitive and sympathetic approach to dialogue is necessary. Constructive criticism delivered with genuine care eases tension and increases trust with those strong enough to endure. MENTAL health’s role in relationships may be better understood by October 13th, as Mercury forms a dynamic aspect to transformational Pluto in your Capricorn Tenth House of public life, profession and reputation. As bonds shapeshift, you’ll refine your perceptions of others, while likewise, they’ll recalibrate their conception of you. October 13th-17th, Mercury joins Venus in passionate Scorpio, prompting deeper introspection and internal excavation for the sake of negotiating more genuine terms of engagement. In the days leading up to and following October 17th, you experience a significant boost in vitality, thanks to an Aries Full Moon in your First House of the PHYSICAL body, identity and lifeforce. This explosive Full Moon makes hard aspects to both Mars and Pluto, a potentially challenging, though necessary, period of purgation and transmutation. A supportive aspect between the Full Moon and Jupiter, planet of SPIRITUAL belief and optimism, begets increased confidence. Coupled with intense focus and clever strategy, you’ll easily seize this moment. Although, as competition takes on an especially grandiose and ferocious tenor, be mindful of injury.
TAURUS RISING & SUN
On October 2nd a New Moon – Solar Eclipse in your fellow Venus-ruled sign of Libra, your Sixth House of health and fitness routines, as well as the attendant experts, indicates a significant opportunity to reform these aspects of your life. The editor, Mercury, sits alongside this New Moon in a dynamically rebellious square with strategic Mars, currently in Cancer. This is the ideal opportunity to critically assess your fitness and nutrition programs, cutting through sentimentality to see them purely for their utility and value. While these processes of revision may be taxing, they encourage you to release that which no longer resonates with your present skill level and proficiency. This includes figures like personal trainers or coaches. Seek support from those professionals and colleagues who will both encourage your PHYSICAL development, and help you in improving your MENTAL disposition. Your perspective and self-belief plays a huge role here.

A revolutionary impulse to pursue new knowledge, expand your mind in profound ways and craft an empowering mission statement for your life sets in. As the month comes to a close, relational Venus enters your Sagittarius Eighth House of entanglements on October 17th, beginning a challenging aspect with restrictive Saturn in your Eleventh House of community that comes to climax on October 28th. Community becomes a site of EMOTIONAL maturation, as allegiances or shared obligations amongst groups or teams are seriously tested. However this manifests, Saturn’s wisdom ultimately arrives through patience, humility and perseverance through difficulty.
GEMINI RISING & SUN
The Libra New Moon – Solar Eclipse in your Fifth House of PHYSICAL play, recreation and sport, inaugurates a new era in your athletic journey.

For example, maybe now is the time, finally, for you to purchase a titanium Chumba Yaupon and build-up the ultimate John Tomac inspired drop bar mountain bike for a 30 day hut-to-hut ATB mission through the Italian Alps next summer. Or maybe you should buy a round of Speedland GL:PDXs for the local Sky Running team you just created and sponsored.

A dynamic square from moody Mars in your secluded, reflective Cancer Twelfth House, to communication planet Mercury in your Third House, signifies this as an excellent time to begin a personal project. One that you’ll likely develop mostly in secret or in isolation. The Mercury-Mars square could indicate anxiety or a lack of confidence in pursuit of this endeavor that are meant to be overcome. This could feel more intense at the exact square on October 6th, though you’re meant to hone your focus, implement an effective strategy and to push through any self-sabotaging urges, regardless.

VIRGO RISING & SUN
Disruptions amongst the organizations you participate in are coupled with a financially potent and liberatory, Libra New Moon – Solar Eclipse on October 2nd.

While the first half of the month could feel rocky in regards to this endeavor, by October 13th, the planet of communication and commerce, Mercury, enters your Scorpio Third House of habitual patterns of mind. Mercury in Scorpio offers extreme focus, clarity and MENTAL discipline, strengthening skills and aiding your implementation of effective strategy. Even though moodiness and impassioned disagreement could color joint activities, you’ll likely have tangible proof that your team is on the right track by the Aries Full Moon in your Eighth House of shared assets on the 18th. Enriching SPIRITUAL insights strike like lightning when Venus opposes Uranus on October 14th. This inspired tone shift continues through the end of the month, as Venus carries these insights into your Sagittarius Fourth House of one’s inner world on the 17th, beginning an opposition with Jupiter, signifier of METAPHYSICAL fortune. This transit emphasizes your hidden gifts and encourages public creative expression, making late October a wonderful time to lend your talents to the world.
LIBRA RISING & SUN
METAPHYSICAL renewal arrives with the Libra New Moon – Solar Eclipse, in your sign on October 2nd. This fateful new beginning establishes a pioneering nine-year paradigm, one in which your athletic ventures will take on an increased prominence before the world. Mars, the sportsman and warrior, is in the most prominent and public part of your chart at the time of the eclipse, your Cancer Tenth House of vocation, achievement and reputation, forming a dynamic square aspect to the Libra New Moon. As Mars also squares the communication and information media planet currently transiting your sign, Mercury, this increases the influence of your voice through public platforms. Mercury, signifier of MENTAL processes is also in a supportive trine aspect with shrewd and insightful Jupiter in your Gemini Ninth House of SPIRITUALITY, higher learning and publishing, on October 9th, so starting a podcast, Substack newsletter or working on a book, are auspicious uses of your time. Although, vexing Mars’ transit through your Tenth House, as well as a contact between elevating Jupiter in Gemini and the wounded healer Chiron, currently in your Aries Seventh House of other people, indicates sharing your thoughts and ideas with an audience could be a pain point or source of fear. While Librans are often gifted with socializing, playing a support role and quite eloquent with words, being misunderstood or disliked could be a trigger for you. October demands you overcome any aversion to disagreement for the sake of strengthening leadership skills and making a social impact. The Aries Full Moon in your Seventh House of interrelationship on October 17th offers a challenging, though EMOTIONALLY transformative juncture, urging you to embody a newly confident, empowered sense of self in all dealings with others.
SCORPIO RISING & SUN
Retreat and introspection is fostered at the Libra New Moon – Solar Eclipse, in your Twelfth House of quiet contemplation and solitary practices on October 2nd. This eclipse signifies both the end and beginning of a nine-year cycle, so as the planet of perception and insight, Mercury, travels through Libra and forms a dynamic, square aspect with impassioned Mars in your Ninth House of SPIRITUALITY, vision and one’s worldview, you could experience striking intuitive clarity. A note of caution though, as the Twelfth House is a lonely environment of self-negation and Mars can be divisive in Cancer Ninth House of belief, be wary of isolating delusions or fanaticism. On October 13th, Mercury enters your sign, amplifying your voice and further sharpening your MENTAL acumen. With the cosmic messenger in Scorpio, intense analysis, piercing observations, rigorous use of language and probing inquiry reign. Utilize this transit to fine tune important projects, engage in serious dialogue or contemplate issues of EMOTIONAL profundity.

While a supportive trine to Jupiter in your partnership house eases any strain on the relationships themselves, you are being empowered to transform the way you approach these matters within the community. Yet, the most significant astrological shifts of October, arrive around the middle of the month. On the 17th, an Aries Full Moon takes place in your Fifth House of PHYSICAL play, sport, leisure and entertainment.

The solar eclipse is in your Ninth House of worldview, higher learning and belief systems, furthering a new nine-year cycle of SPIRITUAL development, preceded by a fateful emancipation from outmoded points of view. As Venus the governor of Libra is in your Scorpio Tenth House of vocation and achievements at the time of the New Moon, it’s possible that you’re pioneering some venture or exploring new professional avenues moving forward.
