October Astro Forecast

Post-eclipse October is a chance to take the reins again; not in a controlling manner, but in personal clarity. You are ready to reclaim your personal power as you get clearer in your values, your relational boundaries, and in aligning your intentions and actions through decisions that honor your integrity, purpose, and truth.

While things don’t feel quite settled, and really won’t for the rest of 2025, you can take heart that you are moving towards tangible change as the remainder of this year unfolds. Right now, each of us is acclimatizing to new (and renewed) energies that are showing us to dance on shaky ground.

The relational focus of this month is a reminder that you can honor your personal sovereignty while honoring another’s. You can be in your power while choosing vulnerability with another. You can connect with your truth while holding space for another’s, even if it challenges your own.

Libra and Scorpio remind us that healing and transformation is relational and even collaborative. They show us that imagining and creating a better, more just and peaceful world, means coming together in a real way (shadows and all). There is immense power when we choose community and relationships, even in their toughest of moments and most activating interactions.

This month, there is so much potential to not only realign ourselves, but also to change the world around us. We have so much more power than we believe, as individuals, and especially together, as a collective. May we hold this truth close and integrate it into our intentions and actions.

October’s Themes

Getting to the truth of things:
- Mercury in Scorpio wants you to get past social niceties, surface answers and intentional distractions to have deeper discussions to gain deeper and truthful insights. Both the Sun’s entry into Scorpio and retrograde Neptune’s re-entry into Pisces further your sense of clarity.

Reassessing boundaries in relationships:
- Venus in Libra, with Pluto’s direct motion in Aquarius, highlights unequal dynamics in relationships, nudging you to reclaim your power and cultivate balanced connections with others. The New Moon in Libra amplifies this intention as does retrograde Neptune’s re-entry in Pisces, offering clarity in relational boundaries.

Clarifying your intentions and actions:
- The Full Moon in Aries is a recalibration of your efforts, asking you to align your actions with your intentions. Retrograde Neptune’s re-entry into Pisces helps you reassess your efforts and intentions by highlighting something you may be avoiding or needing to address.

Relationships as a mirror:
- The Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Venus in Libra and Scorpio highlight connection and collaboration, showing you that oftentimes, the hard interactions with others is when we have the most growth. The deeper our self-awareness the more opportunity for personal transformation.

Tips to Navigate October

• Dynamic energies may have you overextending this month- pause before overcommitting or taking on more than you can handle.

• There is a potential for relational conflict this month. Navigate the discomfort with curiosity and introspection rather than reactivity to avoid unnecessary drama or suffering.

• There is great potential for shadow work to address deeper issues and challenges in your life this month. But if that’s not for you, then please make note of what activates and agitates you this month. You can come back to it another time.
