Aries
There’s a fated feel to love and relationships this month and it’s a time when you can expect lessons in love, especially around identity, compromise and respect. This is because of the Solar Eclipse in your opposite star sign Libra on the 2nd. This is part of the eclipse cycle which began in April 2023 and completes next year in March 2025.
It’s an important eclipse cycle for you as it focuses on your star sign Aries and the relationship star sign Libra. It’s about self versus other, and how important relationships are to you. Notice who comes into your life on or around this powerful Solar Eclipse, a symbol of new beginnings, as a relationship could turn your life upside down and fast.
This theme continues during the Full Moon in your star sign Aries on the 17th. It may be a time when you have to stand up for yourself and put yourself first. This may not be easy, however, especially if you have a lot of demands upon you, due to your home and family, your personal life and your professional life. It could be a month when you’re fighting for your place or position, in some shape or form.
The focus on the star sign Scorpio throughout October means you’re wise to be savvy around money and finances. You might be lining up a mortgage or loan or be dealing with an inheritance. Scorpio rules taboo issues in your horoscope, so it’s about sex and power and the cycle of death and rebirth. Turn the wheel of fortune and release what’s no longer needed. When key planets are in Scorpio, it’s the ideal time to step into your power and take charge of your life.
Taurus
The Solar Eclipse in Libra on the 2nd highlights your work and health. Sometimes, eclipses act as a wake-up call and bring change your way. It’s not a time to take things for granted. Instead, focus on what you want moving forward and be prepared to dig deep to be the best you can be. In your horoscope, Libra is about being of service to others. Therefore, volunteering or caring for other people could offer a great sense of fulfilment.
The Full Moon in Aries on the 17th continues the theme linked to work and health and adds in the theme of sacrifice. Look out for external events kicking in this month. A new job could necessitate a move. Or perhaps, your partner finds work and this impacts your life. This can play out in different ways but be alert to what happens.
You may have a big choice to make around travel or study. Or perhaps, you’re weighing up what you can and can’t do if there’s a change in finances on or around the 9th. Try not to slip into impossibility if things aren’t working out and keep your options open. Decide how important it is to stand up for what you want and put yourself first. There may be times when this isn’t possible in the month ahead.
Love and relationships could prove exciting this month, as the personal planets move through Scorpio and your relationship sector, including your ruling planet Venus. Venus is in Scorpio until the 17th. Maybe, you rediscover your passion. If you’re married or in a long-term relationship, do something adventurous as a couple and put the spark back into your sex life. The first half of the month brings stability in love, although you could be the one rocking the boat on the 14th or 30th.
Gemini
Your ruling planet Mercury joins the Sun in Libra up until the 13th. This is one of the social sectors of your horoscope linked to children, creativity, romance, entertainment and fun. Things heat up in these key areas during the Solar Eclipse in Libra on the 2nd. This is a turbo-powered New Moon when things could happen fast. News of a pregnancy or the birth of a love affair could turn your life upside-down and fast.
If you’re a typical Gemini, you love to have fun and say yes to get-togethers and social events. This month, however, you might need to keep close tabs on money matters to ensure you don’t overspend or exceed your budget. Be savvy about what you can and can’t afford during the Full Moon on the 17th.
Perhaps, expenses linked to a child or a hobby could blow the budget. Yet, don’t let this stop you doing whatever’s needed to boost your income. Courage may be required, especially if your luck changes or your financial situation shifts between the 9th & 12th. Play the long game.
Plus, your ruler Mercury moves into Scorpio on the 13th leading the way into Scorpio season on the 22nd. This means it’s a go-for-it period, whether you’re after a new job or seeking work that inspires you. There’s energy and enthusiasm here and you may be making some bold decisions regarding your work or lifestyle. You might commit to a new healthy workout or fitness plan and actively decide to take good care of your body. The mind-body-spirit connection is closely intertwined and it’s important to focus on all these areas, rather than prioritise one over the other.
Cancer
Home and family affairs are foreground this month. This is partly because of the Solar Eclipse in Libra on the 2nd, the star sign at the base of your horoscope. A New Moon Solar Eclipse indicates new beginnings and accelerated growth. Therefore, you might be on the move or be getting ready to leave behind the past behind. Alternatively, there could be changes to your family set-up.
This theme continues during the Full Moon in Aries on the 17th which puts your personal and professional life under the cosmic spotlight. Things could come to a head during the Full Moon phase whether you’re dealing with a work crisis or there’s an all-or-nothing feel about love. There may be intensity in your one-to-one relationships and it’s not a time to sweep things under the carpet. Perhaps, there’s an issue with the in-laws or a step family. Or, you recognise where you’re on the same path as someone close and where you’re out of alignment.
The other star sign dominating the month is Scorpio, your fellow water sign. This means it promises passion. Scorpio rules romance and love affairs in your horoscope, also children and creativity. If you’re involved with a creative project or you’re busy with a hobby or leisure activity, dive in at the deep end. The same applies to a love affair or new romance.
There could be moments of creative block or procrastination and times when you have to rework things. Yet, this is where fulfilment lies, chasing after your passions. You have the planet of drive and ambition Mars in your star sign Cancer throughout October. Therefore, it’s not a time to sit back and do nothing. Instead, go all out to get what you want.
Leo
The Sun is in Libra and your communication and community sector up until the 22nd. Plus, a Solar Eclipse in Libra on the 2nd speeds things up and fast. This may open the door to a new opportunity, perhaps linked to education, teaching or getting your voice heard. As the south node is involved in the eclipse pattern, this could signal an ending followed by a beginning.
Themes around education and travel continue to dominate during the Full Moon in Aries on the 17th. This is a powerful Full Moon phase as it creates a Grand Cross in the heavens. Therefore, you may be gearing up to say no to one person or one path, so you can head off in a new direction.
It’s important to get real about your work, your health and your lifestyle. Notice who or what’s stopping you leading the life you choose. This might be a month when you decide to put a job on hold or end a permanent contract. Events on or around the 12th & 22nd could be pivotal. You may recognise the time is right to eliminate stress from your life, as best you can.
Your ruler the Sun enters Scorpio and your home and family sector on the 22nd. Yet, there are personal planets in Scorpio throughout October.. Therefore, this may be a time when you’re involved in home or property matters or family need your time and attention. Scorpio is one of the emotional water signs and it’s important that you trust your intuition around home and family. Freedom may be a key theme on the 14th & 30th.
Virgo
Money and values are important topics this month. This is because the Sun is in Libra and your personal money sector until the 22nd. Plus, your ruling planet Mercury’s here until the 13th. And, there’s a powerful Solar Eclipse in Libra on the 2nd. You might be shifting your money mindset or want to do things differently regarding your financial situation. Sometimes, during eclipse season, life steps in to bring change your way.
These themes continue at the Full Moon in Aries on the 17th. Money and finances aren’t an area of life to ignore and you might recognise conflicting demands upon you, perhaps linked to children or friends. There’s intensity here and October’s likely to be a month when your emotions are closely attached to others. You could feel strongly about people, events and personal matters. Relationships could hit fever pitch, so keep tight hold on both your money and your emotions.
Also this month, your ruler Mercury enters Scorpio on the 13th leading into Scorpio season on the 22nd. Yet, this star sign is active all month and Scorpio rules your communication and community. Therefore, it’s a positive month to throw yourself into life close to home and reach out and connect with other people.
Scorpio season is good news for you regarding public speaking, sales and marketing and sharing what you know. You could go back to school and educate yourself or gain new qualifications. Or perhaps, you start a blog or podcast or write for your local paper. You could leap into a community matter or take action in your local neighbourhood. This is about finding your voice and speaking your truth.
Libra
The Sun is in your star sign Libra up until the 22nd and this is your birthday month. It’s not only the Sun in Libra as talk planet Mercury’s here up until the 13th. The spotlight’s firmly on you in October, so make the most of it, be self-centred and use your Libra charm and diplomacy to win friends and influence people.
This month, there’s a Solar Eclipse in Libra on the 2nd. This highlights your image and profile, your personal goals, who you are and who you’re becoming. Solar Eclipses are a turbo-powered New Moon, when you’re raring to go and ready to take a bold step in life. The eclipse could catapult you into a position of fame or boost your chances of success.
Also, there’s a powerful Full Moon in Aries on the 17th. This could be a significant date for a close relationship, so trust your clarity and intuition. However, there may be a theme of endings in your life, saying goodbye to the past or letting go of a situation that isn’t working out. There could be an issue with a parent. You may recognise that what you want isn’t the same to what other people want or need. The dominant focus on your star sign may bring the courage to make a decision or move that’s right for you. Aim high and play big.
Work and money are under the cosmic spotlight this month with key planets in Cancer and your career sector and Scorpio and your money sector. The more you believe in yourself, the more you attract prosperity into your life. Your ruler Venus in Scorpio until the 17th promises freedom, perhaps through an investment, bonus or gift. There’s a lot of planetary energy swirling around making finances unusually exciting.
Scorpio
There may be times when you need to retreat this month. Perhaps, you’re busy with a personal project or convalescing. Or you’re abroad and taking a sabbatical. This has a lot to do with the Sun’s move through Libra and the most hidden sector of your horoscope. Plus, there’s a Solar Eclipse here on the 2nd. This may offer you an opportunity to discover a rich inner life. You could experience a spiritual awakening or be aware of the wheel of fortune and karma stepping in.
This theme continues during the Full Moon on the 17th. This may be a time of release and letting go, when you clear out what’s old in preparation for what’s new. Plus, your co-ruler Pluto is pulled into the picture as it switches direction on the 12th. This is about personal transformation. Consider where the theme of endings is pivotal in your life and be vigilant in taking a step back if necessary.
You may want to create some time or space to think things through, especially regarding your future path or your next steps. Or perhaps, you’re deciding what you want to study, learn or teach. Also, think about how you’re spending your time. If you’re wasting your time, be firm with yourself and create new plans and strategies to help your productivity and well-being.
Scorpio season starts officially on the 22nd. This is when the Sun enters your star sign adding confidence and vitality to the mix. Yet, love planet Venus is here until the 17th and talk planet Mercury from the 13th. Therefore, October’s a month when you’re going in deep. This turns the cosmic spotlight towards your personal goals and what you want. It’s your cue to pick up the pace, believe anything’s possible and make things happen.
Sagittarius
As October gets underway, you’re being called out into the world. This is because the Sun’s in Libra and your friendship and group sector until the 22nd, alongside talk planet Mercury in Libra until the 13th. Plus, there’s a Solar Eclipse here on the 2nd. This means you may have a strong drive to make new friends, join a group or club or become more involved with society as a whole. This fits the truth-loving side of your nature.
These themes remain foreground during the Full Moon in Aries on the 17th. For you, this Full Moon is about your social life and group interactions, also your relationship with children and lovers. Yet, there’s a theme of endings, release and letting go. Perhaps, you’re cutting ties from a friendship group or the door shuts behind you. Alternatively, someone new comes into your life and impacts your life in a powerful way.
You’re wise to be wary around loaning money or getting involved with a rich crowd. This is because of two powerful planets, Pluto and Mars, in your money sectors. Consider carefully what you get involved in financially and think things through logically. If someone withdraws their support on or around the 9th, this could impact what’s possible moving forward.
Finally, the star sign Scorpio is strong. This takes you deep into your psyche and your inner world. It might be the right time for therapy, a period of research or honing your psychic skills. When planets are in Scorpio, you often immerse yourself in self-analysis, go on a spiritual journey or you’re in preparation for what lies ahead. This suggests that the important work you do now is on yourself. Turn your attention inwards.
Capricorn
There’s strong emphasis on the star sign Libra up until the 22nd, ruling your career and vocation. Plus, there’s a powerful Solar Eclipse in Libra on the 2nd, a symbol of new beginnings. External events could bring significant change your way. At its best, this could be a period of accelerated growth, when your status or reputation gets a turbo-boost.
The focus on the foundations of your life continues through the Full Moon in Aries on the 17th. This highlights your work and career, your home and family. Also, the link between your past and your future. This may be a time when you change job or location. Power planet Pluto is involved during the Full Moon phase and this is significant for you.
Pluto switches direction in your star sign Capricorn on the 12th. This means there’s a theme of endings as well as new beginnings. You might be able to take advantage of a changing situation at work. Alternatively, a job or one path in your life could come to an end. The downside of Pluto is obsession to the point of wipe-out. This flags up a cautionary note that the Libra scales are urging you to find a healthy work/life balance.
Also this month, there’s a theme of people power with key planets in Cancer and Scorpio aligning with your ruling planet Saturn in Pisces. This is about your friends, your tribe and the people you connect with on a deep level. It’s an ideal month to consider how your networks and connections can benefit you, both personally and professionally. Don’t go it alone but team up with other people.
Aquarius
Up until the 22nd, the Sun is in your fellow air sign Libra. Traditionally, this is a time when you’re keen to travel and broaden your horizons. Libra rules study, learning and knowledge in your horoscope and any activity that sources you and brings meaning to your life. You may be keen to study something new or be on a spiritual path. Or perhaps, you embrace a new religion or faith.
There’s a Solar Eclipse here on the 2nd, a turbo-powered New Moon. This indicates that you may want something more from life than the every-day. You might be exploring new beliefs or your philosophy on life. You could be interested in the workings of the mind or the mysteries of the world.
These themes continue during the Full Moon in Aries on the 17th when the wheel of fortune could lead you in a new direction. This may be triggered by an ending or unfinished business. This could be linked to the past or your karma. Be vigilant about your thoughts and don’t be your own worst enemy. Notice who’s holding you back or what’s not working out. It might be that a new opportunity can’t begin or you’re unable to embrace the freedom you crave until you let go or say goodbye to the past.
Yet, the call is to the future thanks to planets in Scorpio and your career sector. Consider where in life you’re being called to step up or take on a new role. Scorpio is one of the star signs linked to power and represents the transformative path in life and regeneration. Perhaps, you have to move home because of a new job. Or events at home are the reason why you’re transforming your career or vocational path.
Pisces
The Sun is in air sign Libra up until the 22nd. Plus, there’s a Solar Eclipse here on the 2nd, a turbo-powered New Moon. This means there’s a lot going on in your joint finance sector. This is about money matters and creating a balanced financial situation. Yet, it’s about the metaphysical realm too and all things hidden and taboo.
The Full Moon in Aries on the 17th lights up this same axis of your horoscope. This is about money and legacy, what you leave behind and what gets passed on. It’s about the physical world as well as the metaphysical world and finding your place between the two. This process could be cathartic, so dare to dive deep into the emotional realm and the world of the psyche.
There’s a theme of endings as well as new beginnings this month, which means you’re wise to consider what’s not working out financially and where you’d be better off cutting your losses. Pay close attention to money and create new systems which help you keep close tabs on all things financial. Events mid-month could flag up an issue around power and control, sex, death or rebirth. If so, go deep and look beneath the surface to see what’s going on.
Planets in Scorpio put the spotlight on travel, education and any activity which expands your experience of life. Scorpio season is a good time to take yourself out of your normal environment and enter a place where you can allow your dreams to expand and flow. This may be a welcome antidote to changes at home or within your family. Events on or around the 9th are key.
