Empowerment. Relationship. Intention. Connection. Rebirthed. Implementation. Arrival.
October offers and invites profound empowerment.
Not in a way that feels like ‘we have it all worked out’ – but in a way that encourages us to move with deep intention, to embody our energy with greater self-respect, to empower ourselves through our own decision making, the way we hold our energy, what we commit to – through our very living.
We have moved through the deep transformation of Eclipse Season, and the ground beneath us has changed. And we too, have changed.
In October we are learning how to walk upon this new terrain as this new us. We are learning how our energy wants to move and what feels right, and good, and real – even if it feels foreign, uncomfortable, or challenging in the moment. We are placing truth, authenticity, and self above the old patterns, the subtle messaging of who we have been taught to be, what is acceptable.
For there is a deep focus on relating and relationship throughout October – who we are in solitude, who we are among others.
How we hold ourselves, how we hold ourselves in connection. Who we are inwardly, how that translates outwardly. How our energy shifts among others, where we take on what is not ours. What is truth, what stems from pain. How we hold our own authority, while honouring another’s. How we stand in sovereignty, while opening to intimacy.
It offers a landscape to ‘practice’ and implement the transformation we have just moved through in the world around us, and the connective realm we all share together. To see what we perhaps couldn’t see without the mirror of the world and others. To anchor our growth and becoming, our healing and transforming, through our outer living.
October Horoscope & Astrology Forecast
October reminds us that the world is our mirror. Each moment, person, interaction, reflection offering deeper self-awareness – and the opportunity for empowerment.
While the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Venus in Libra and Scorpio invite connection and collaboration, a beautiful reminder that there is no self without the other, the Numerology of the month invites another beautiful reminder of independence, self-definition, courage and self-leadership.
In perfect arrival after Eclipse Season, October as a 1 month now asks us ‘who am I now? What feels true to my essence’? It invites us to move forward – with imperfection, through exploration, to try, begin, play, experiment, and authenticity.
Beneath the surface old patterns continue falling away. A full Moon in Aries illuminates our most profound becoming, shedding what we have outgrown. Pluto finishing its five-month retrograde in Aquarius ends an inward descent and shifts transformation outward – a soft whisper that the inner work of the last months is ready to become embodied, action, lived. While Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces for the final time in over 160 years – closing cycles, lifting veils, dissolving patterns.

October 6, 2025: Mercury enters Scorpio
As Mercury dives into Scorpio from October 6 – 29, 2025, communication becomes piercing, intuitive, and transformative. Words desire to dive below the surface; conversations probe beneath the obvious asking us to look at motives, desires, and hidden truths.
This transit invites us to listen with depth, to trust what is unspoken as much as what is shared. It can also uncover secrets or patterns that no longer serve us, encouraging conversations that bring catharsis. While Mercury is in Scorpio, clarity comes not from rushing to conclusions, but from being willing to sit in the depths, to let insight arrive like a revelation from the shadows.
October 7, 2025: Aries Full Moon
A fiery lunation burning with raw aliveness, illuminating identity, willpower, and desire.
The Full Moon in Aries asks us to see ourselves clearly – where we have grown, what no longer fits, and what we are ready to release. It is a Moon of courage and bold release, shedding skins of old stories so we can embody our becoming. Tensions may rise between independence and connection, yet this illumination reminds us that authenticity fuels intimacy. It is a portal into action, urging us to step forward, even imperfectly, and honour the fire that has always lived within us.

October 13, 2025: Venus enters Libra
Venus, goddess of harmony, returns to her home in Libra, gracing relationships with softness, beauty, and balance from October 13 – November 6, 2025.
This transit invites us into collaboration and reciprocity, reminding us that love is not about losing ourselves, but about meeting in the sacred space between. It is a time to honor fairness, equality, and tenderness in all forms of relating. Venus in Libra brings artistry and refinement – whether in our connections, our surroundings, or our self-expression. With this placement, every exchange becomes an opportunity to practice harmony without self-betrayal, to honour our sovereignty while weaving connection.
October 13, 2025: Pluto Direct in Aquarius
Pluto stations direct after months of retrograde beginning in May of this year – and transformation begins to shift outward.
The deep internal excavations of recent months, where old layers were peeled back, shadows confronted, and truths faced – are ready to ripple into the world around us.
In Aquarius, Pluto’s rebirth is collective, futuristic, and reforming; it speaks of systemic transformation, community, and how we share power. This direct motion asks us: how will the inner death-and-rebirth cycles we’ve undergone now reshape our living, our choices, our communities? It is the embodiment of inner alchemy – becoming visible, tangible, and lived.
October 17, 2025: Sun in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer & opposite Chiron in Aries
On this day, the Sun’s aspects to Jupiter and Chiron highlights the paradoxes of growth.
Expansion without grounding can scatter, while healing requires confrontation with discomfort. Here, we are shown both the desire for harmony and the need to face wounds around independence, selfhood, and belonging. These aspects ask us to walk the fine line between overextending and avoiding, between giving too much of ourselves and honouring our wholeness.
In the mirror of relationships, old patterns may resurface – not to entrap us, but to be healed. It is a moment of recalibration, reminding us that true growth requires balance.
October 20, 2025: Mercury conjunct Mars in Scorpio
Sharp, precise, and unflinching – this conjunction between Mercury and Mars in Scorpio on October 20, 2025 fuses thought with action, words with willpower. It empowers us to cut through illusions, to speak truth with potency, to act with courage.
And, it also warns of impulsivity and verbal intensity, asking us to pause before striking with words that cannot be undone. Mercury and Mars together in Scorpio can pierce through lies, reveal hidden motives, and catalyze transformation through dialogue. This is a time to harness the precision of focus, to channel passion into conscious expression, and to move with courage into the truths that set us free.
October 21, 2025: Libra New Moon
October’s New Moon in Libra begins a new relational cycle, but not without intensity. As the Moon squares Pluto and Jupiter, and opposes Chiron, this lunation bring both challenge and profound opportunity. Here, beginnings arise through revealing the patterns of imbalance, projection, or avoidance that block intimacy.
It is a loving call to heal through relating, to recognize the ways we abandon ourselves or others, and to choose differently. This lunation plants seeds of authentic partnership – whether with self or others – built on truth, sovereignty, and courage. What we begin now carries transformative weight for the months ahead.

October 22, 2025: Neptune Retrograde re-enters Pisces
Neptune Retrograde drifts back into Pisces for the last time in over 160 years, closing a vast collective chapter. Neptune will re-enter Pisces on October 22, 2025 where it will remain until January 26, 2026. Once in Aries, it will remain there until March 2039.
Personally, Neptune re-entering Pisces softens our edges, reminding us of the dreamlike, spiritual, and infinite threads that weave through our lives. It dissolves what is false, invites surrender, and can blur lines between reality and illusion – asking us to discern with intuition rather than logic.
As Neptune prepares to depart Pisces permanently, we are gifted one final sweep of its mystical tide: a chance to release illusions, heal separation, and remember our oneness.
October 23, 2025: Scorpio Season
The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23, 2025 until November 22, 2025, turning our attention inward, beneath the surface, into the fertile soil of transformation.
Scorpio Season is an initiation into depth, into shadow, intimacy, passion, and rebirth. It reminds us that life is cyclical: endings seed beginnings, death makes way for renewal. This is a time of intensity, but also of empowerment, for by facing what we fear, we reclaim our strength.
In relationships, truth becomes unavoidable; in ourselves, authenticity becomes essential. Scorpio Season is a threshold, asking us to meet our lives with honesty, courage, and devotion to what is real.
Scorpio Season insights & horoscopes coming soon.
October 24, 2025: Sun in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius
After entering the waters of Scorpio, the Sun enters into a square aspect with Pluto in Aquarius on October 24, 2025.
This cosmic dance between planetary bodies is a meeting of will and transformation, self and shadow. It can illuminate power struggles, revelations, or intensity in the realms of identity and collective change. Yet beneath the friction is alchemy: the chance to see where ego resists the evolution that is already underway.
This aspect challenges us to release control, to surrender to change, and to trust that rebirth is not a loss but a liberation. It is a potent reminder that the truest empowerment comes not from force, but from alignment with the deeper currents of transformation.
October 29, 2025: Mercury enters Sagittarius
After probing Scorpio’s depths, Mercury shifts into Sagittarius on October 29, 2025 where it will remain until November 19, 2025, expanding vision and broadening perspective.
As the month comes to a close, thought becomes future-oriented, adventurous, and curious, seeking meaning beyond the small details. Communication grows more optimistic desiring to expand the horizons of perspective with each word. This is a transit of learning, teaching, and storytelling – a chance to lift our gaze beyond the immediate and to reimagine what is possible.
As Mercury enters Sagittarius, it begins preparing for it’s upcoming retrograde in the same mutable fire sign beginning on November 9, 2025, where we are asked to share ideas that inspire, to question inherited beliefs, and to see the bigger picture of our own becoming.
Mercury Retrograde insights & horoscopes coming soon.
