October Transits and Monthly Overview

Discernment and momentum are October’s key attributes! Last month’s Virgo solar eclipse inspired us to let go of something, for good this time. Now our skeptical mind is assessing next steps, and finding that we have additional breathing room, energy, and space to maneuver. Liberating! The further we get from the eclipse window, the more clarity we’ll feel. Success now lies in knowing not only what we want to say, but who we want to say it to. Mars is already on its home turf in Scorpio, and Venus will enter its domicile, Libra, mid-month, allowing us to make power moves without disturbing the peace. It’s an excellent time to follow your heart, and an *especially* ideal moment to enter into mutually beneficial romantic or business relationships.

NOTABLE TRANSITS

October 6/7 – Mercury enters Scorpio: conflict gives way to clear sight for the next three weeks. Investigate, don’t interrogate.

October 13/14 – Venus enters Libra: love is intellectual, idealistic and sometimes superficial. Don’t be afraid to request reciprocity.

October 13/14 – Pluto is direct: on the degree/arcminute it last transited back on January 9. Reflect on this date to discover personal parallels.

October 22/23 – Neptune enters Pisces: for the final time in our lifetime. We have three months before Neptune returns to Aries for the long haul!

October 22/23 – The sun enters Scorpio: time to get spooky! Dare to be provocative! Embrace the taboo! Dive deep!

October 23/24 – Jupiter square Chiron: outside criticism prompts a crisis of faith, which prompts a look in the mirror. Resentment might be our initial response, but this transit ultimately forces us to take an inventory of ill-conceived beliefs.

October 29/30 – Mercury enters Sagittarius: optimism leads to seemingly obvious oversights, but Mercury’s final retrograde of the year looms. A do-over is inevitable.
