What’s going on astrologically for October

What’s going on astrologically for October: an astrological forecast.

September was an introspective month with Mercury retrograde. Also, there were another five planets retrograding.

But now, what should we expect from October? Let me tell you: this is no time to relax because it will come with higher doses of intensity!

Are you ready to know what will come with October? Let's jump right in!

Mercury going direct (Oct 2)

The retrograde season is always a time for introspection. It is like things are going slower outside, but many things are going on within all of us.

This time, Mercury retrograde was about evaluating and revising our life. We were asking ourselves what we have been doing the past months, especially in terms of relationships.

There were problems with communications and relations in general. But now, with Mercury going direct, we are making decisions, reaching points of climax, and are ready to say what we were internally examining.

A week later, the full moon in Aries will help you keep motivated, accelerate processes and move what was stagnant during the retrograde season.

But remember, when Mars starts retrograding in Gemini on October 30, it will invite you to meditate, introspect, review your decisions and seek closure.

Three planets in Libra square Pluto (Oct 17 - 28)

The sun, Mercury, and Venus in Libra will square Pluto in Capricorn.

Remember what we said about intensity? Pluto is a very intense planet. It is the planet of karmic release. And this month, we will have three planets in Libra squaring him.

This alignment will potentiate the decisive events we are experiencing in our relationships.

Also, Mars in Gemini will give a boost to communication.

Remember, Libra is the sign of relationships. This month will be less about 'me' and more about 'us'.

In other words, we can stand up and say what we want to other people. If you did your retrograde homework, you will make the right decisions. That means introspecting and analyzing what works and what does not work.

If you approach it with an open heart, you will succeed.

Eclipse season and the partial solar eclipse in Scorpio (Oct 25)

The eclipse season started with the New Moon in Libra on September 25 and will last until November 23.

Partial solar eclipse and triple conjunction in Scorpio.

We will have the first eclipse of the eclipse season with the partial solar eclipse on October 25, with the moon, the sun, and Venus in triple conjunction in the sign of Scorpio.

Eclipse seasons always accelerate things. We want to generate change both inside and outside. So, it's “normal” to feel things are moving faster right now.

But what about Scorpio? Scorpio is a sign of transformation since it is ruled by Pluto, the god of the Underworld.

So what? Scorpio knows how to get within your subconscious mind and open those deep dark places you may avoid. This sign always brings deeply buried secrets to the surface, so expect the unexpected (it's called spooky season for a reason!).

And with Venus, a sign ruled by Libra, in conjunction with this eclipse, the universe keeps this 'us' vibe to generate transformation in our relationships.

To wrap up

This October, we are closing cycles and opening new ones when it comes to relationships and all aspects of our life, but this time, for good.

What you decide during this intense month may change your destiny forever.

Will you make good choices? That only depends on you and your inner work. So, do your cosmic mission and start the inner journey!
