What’s Coming Up

As an astrologer, you always want to pay attention to what’s coming up in the transits. You will want to have a general feel for how the planets will be moving in the next month, the next three months or the next six months. All of this information you will use for every chart you ever do, or forecast for, your clients this year. So it makes sense to have a have some insights on going on up there and what’s coming up next. This time I’ve done my overarch for the month of October, which I do every month.

Horoscopes

Now and again I actually write the full horoscopes for all twelve signs, but not so frequently anymore because monthly horoscopes are so transitional and nobody ever goes back to read horoscopes for say Capricorn in June 2022.

So, while horoscopes may be a great thing to have, they are an incredible time and energy drain on me, so I prefer to do the monthly overarch instead.

What I Look For

In my monthly overarches I look at three main things:

  • Sign Ingresses: The planets changing signs.
  • Stations: The planets changing direction.
  • Lunations: The New and Full Moons and in this particular month they happen to be solar and lunar eclipses, and I sometimes also provide the eclipse charts as well.

Which Sign to Read

These horoscopes are written for each Ascendant sign. If you know your Ascendant or rising sign then read that. If you do not know your rising sign then read your Sun sign.

October’s Chart

Below is the chart showing all the planet’s movements this month. If planets move quite far then there is a dotted line showing their path for the month. When planets change direction during the month, there is a curved path showing which way they move either retrograde or direct. Additionally, I have shown the New Moon (black circle) and Full Moon (white circle) indicated in the position it happens.

October Events

6th: Mercury enters Scorpio

Conversations turn deep and revealing as Mercury slips into Scorpio. Expect others to confide in you, sometimes with details you wish they’d kept to themselves. Notice where you might be oversharing too. Protect your privacy and don’t give away your personal power through careless disclosures. This is a time for mindful communication, selective listening, and holding space without feeling pressured to reveal everything.

More on Mercury

Mercury communicates, trades and is factual. Mercury represents agents, salespeople, youths and teachers. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo.

 

7th: Full Moon at 14 Aries

The Aries Full Moon brings peak energy and heightened emotions. Situations that have been building could now come to a head, and yes, sparks may fly. This lunation often highlights truths others have seen in you that you’ve not yet acknowledged yourself. Rather than reacting in the moment, steady yourself. Choose clarity, courage, and composure over impulsiveness. The more you stand in maturity and grace, the more constructive your response will be.

More on the Moon

The Moon is feminine, passive, reflective, and moody. The Moon represents your mother, cooks, and caregivers. The Moon rules Cancer.

13th: Venus enters Libra

Romance, charm, and connection are in the air as Venus moves into her home sign of Libra. Relationships gain harmony and balance now, and gestures of beauty will go a long way. Thoughtful, elegant tokens or simply creating more quality time with your loved one will be deeply appreciated. Lean into the art of togetherness.

More on Venus

Venus is feminine. Venus loves, acquires and appreciates. Venus represents young women, girlfriends, sweethearts and accountants. Venus rules Taurus and Libra.

 

14th: Pluto stations direct at 1 Aquarius

Pluto turns direct, slowly grinding forward again in Aquarius. For Scorpio rising folks especially, this offers a subtle but noticeable shift in momentum. It’s not the big wave yet, that’s coming next month, but you may feel the pressure ease slightly. Use this pause to release lingering issues or patterns that are ready to be put to rest.

More on Pluto

Pluto transforms, buries and rebirths. The people that Pluto represents are crisis workers, the taxman, demons, coercers and the Grim Reaper. Pluto rules the fixed water sign of Scorpio the Scorpion.

 

21st: New Moon at 28 Libra

This New Moon is the perfect time to plant seeds in all relationships — romantic, social, and professional. New partnerships may blossom, and existing connections can be refreshed with intention and care. Set goals for fairness, balance, and beauty in the bonds you create now.

More on the Moon

23rd The Sun enters Scorpio

Scorpio season begins, and the atmosphere grows more intense and probing. This is a time for deeper connections and emotional honesty. Old secrets or unresolved matters may resurface, asking whether you’ll confront them or bury them again for later. Choose your battles wisely, as emotional reserves may feel stretched. Focus on intimacy, not intensity.

22nd: Neptune enters Pisces Rx

Neptune drifts back into Pisces for one last time, offering a final wave of dreamlike energy before moving on for good. This is a reflective and spiritual phase where the lines between reality and illusion may blur. Use this period to notice what still feels unresolved in your inner world. Old dreams, creative projects, or spiritual practices may resurface, asking for completion or closure.

More on Neptune

Neptune understands, dissolves and eludes. The people that Neptune represents are dreamers, ghosts, angels and nomads. Neptune rules Pisces.

 

Neptune

29th: Mercury enters Sagittarius

Communication shifts gears again as Mercury strides into Sagittarius. Conversations become lively, broad, and future-focused. Keep on top of your messages and correspondence now, as important details could slip through the cracks. This is also a time when a mentor, teacher, or guide might enter your life, offering wisdom that can alter your path. Stay curious, stay open, and let your mind expand.

More on Mercury

Mercury communicates, trades and is factual. Mercury represents agents, salespeople, youths and teachers. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo.

 

Planetary Energy Overview

Bird’s Eye

It is always interesting to have a Bird’s Eye view of the general energies present each month and to see how the vibe shifts as the planets constantly change signs.

Counting Planets

Count the Sun to Pluto plus Chiron and exclude the Moon. So in all 10 planets are assessed. See the tables below.

Months Starts: Active Cardinal Air

September begins with all the planetary energy emphasizing the active polarity, the cardinal mode and the air element. This combination loosely translates into the sign of Libra.

Month End: Passive Mutable Water

The month ends with an energy focus on the passive polarity, the mutable mode and the water element which funnily enough translates to the sign of Pisces.

October’s Main Theme

This month calls for balance between depth and lightness. With so many planets moving into signs of intimacy and relationship, you’ll be asked to share wisely, connect intentionally, and stay open to growth. The key is discernment and knowing when to lean in and when to hold back. By choosing maturity, clarity and grace, October can become a powerful turning point for relationships, personal insight, and fresh opportunities on the horizon.
