Find out what the month of October has in store for your star sign.
This month brings a clarifying breeze, urging you to scrutinise your intentions. Are your decisions aligned with your true self or swayed by external influences? Embrace the breakthroughs you’ve recently encountered and now it’s time to integrate these lessons and ignite momentum. You receive a cosmic boost from your ruler Mars at the beginning of the month – leverage your intellectual prowess and support network to reignite stalled projects. By mid-month you’ll likely be laser-focused on your next grand idea. Just be mindful when you’re digging deep into your power reserves not to overdo it. With two powerful eclipses this month, you’ll have ample opportunities for restructuring and transformation. On October 15th, your partnership zone is illuminated, guiding you toward renewal and self-discovery within your most important relationships. Come October 29th, the second eclipse casts its glow on your financial sector, encouraging you to take charge of your financial situation and explore new avenues to create stability. Lean on your pioneering spirit this month Aries, and you’ll stumble across unlikely solutions in the process.
Prepare to bask in the pleasures of life this month – a welcome shift from the emotional depths you’ve recently explored. The perspective shifts you experienced last month now invite your tenacious spirit to integrate them into your life. Venus, your ruler, has been retracing its steps since July and mid-month it finally enters the diligent earth sign of Virgo. You’ll discover joy even in the everyday tasks as you approach life with renewed energy and a zest for the ordinary. October 15th’s eclipse presents the opportune moment to ride a new astrological wave. Dedicate time to revitalise your routines, bask in the sun, and bid farewell to the lingering winter energy. The second eclipse on October 29th is especially poignant, as it graces your zodiac sign. This eclipse marks the culmination of the transformation you’ve navigated over the past 18 months, prompting deep self-connection and a renewed sense of self-worth. Emotions may surge due to the moon’s potency, but there’s no better time to celebrate your achievements, even those on an internal level, Taurus!
Get ready for a month of inspiration and fresh starts! If you’ve been awaiting that creative spark and your mind is brimming with ideas, cultivate motivation to pursue them. However, beware of overworking your nervous system in this dynamic shift from last month. Stay well-hydrated and prioritise sleep to protect your inner peace. Mercury, your ruler, has encouraged you to tap the brakes recently, but it’s now moving forward and encouraging self-expression. Be on the lookout for new ways to apply your creative thinking, as new projects are likely to take off. If nothing has materialised by the first eclipse on October 15th, consider stepping out of your comfort zone. This month isn’t just about work; it extends to love and romance, so don’t hesitate to prioritise fun and play. The second eclipse arrives on October 29th and the pace shifts again. Avoid overbooking and overworking yourself and instead focus on finding time for reflective solitude. This supercharged lunation prompts change within you, so lean on your curious nature Gemini, to seek out the magic within.
The cosmic nudges to reconnect with your inner desires have placed you in an ideal position for self-renewal and new-found confidence this month. Leverage your instinctive nature to pinpoint the themes that have been emerging and take a practical, head-on approach to address any issues that arise. With your ruler, the Moon, moving through two powerful eclipses this month, you’re likely to feel its energy building more intensely than most. To recharge, indulge in long baths, lakeside strolls, or sunrise ocean dips, as they’ll offer you a refreshing reset. The first eclipse on October 15th calls you back to your creature comforts, particularly your home. It prompts an emotional reset and invites you to find comfort in the changes occurring.
The second eclipse on October 29th, illuminates your dreams and friendships sector. If you’re feeling the urge to reassess your long-term goals, observe any chapters that need closure to make way for fresh beginnings. Keep stability and serenity at the forefront of your mind this month Cancer and you’ll indirectly reach your goals!
Have you been re-evaluating your aspirations lately? Has this introspection created a ripple effect in your life? With Venus retrograding in your zodiac sign since July, you’ve been on a journey of self-appreciation. Surrender might not always be your strong suit, but this temporary speed bump has prepared you for what lies ahead. If you haven’t had the chance to let your light shine or use your charisma in a way that truly ignites your inner fire, pay close attention to how you can bring this energy forth over the next few weeks. While October promises to shake things up, there are still two potent eclipses to navigate. The first one on October 15th marks a fresh start and a breakthrough in your zone of communication. You’ll have the opportunity to bring your creative ideas to the forefront. The second eclipse on October 29th puts your career in the spotlight. This moment signifies a shift in the roles you hold in life. Stay grounded in your aspirations Leo, and you’ll likely find renewed vitality on the other side.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Even though you just entered into a new birthday year, your ruler Mercury was influencing a different pace than you would have liked. But this month, you have the opportunity to shake things up and get life moving again. Take time to analyse your personal desires and make plans that align with your future vision. Focus on self-love, romance, and adding a touch of whimsy to your daily life, infusing this energy into your routine. Profound change will start to unfold on October 15th as an eclipse illuminates your money and values sector marking a turning point in your financial situation. Address any financial decisions and start organising your budget. The second eclipse on October 29th invites you to expand your beliefs and reassess your sense of purpose. Seize this opportunity to close a chapter in your life and let go of any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. Use your analytical nature to observe the shifts this month Virgo, as you have a knack for creating calm in the world amidst chaos.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
It’s your birthday season Libra, so plan a soiree, gather your friends, indulge in a decadent cake, and celebrate another journey around the sun! If you’ve experienced any recent delays or a lack of motivation, know that the tides are turning, and a new era of self is emerging.
You possess the ability to take thoughtful and strategic action, so harness these positive traits to infuse energy into your renewed passions. Your first opportunity for embracing change arrives with this month’s first eclipse on October 15th, occurring in your constellation. It marks the beginning of an 18-month journey of growth, signifying a new chapter in your personal journey. Revisit your goals, reimagine your identity, and fully embrace the unique qualities that make you who you are. Carry this vision forward, as the second eclipse takes place on October 29th. Your emotional attachments may be challenged, leading to a significant turning point in matters of trust. Given the potency of this lunation, swap overindulgence for fresh air and meditation Libra and you’ll likely find your bliss.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Consider this month as two defining chapters in your story. The first marks a moment of completion, as you close the door on certain aspects of your life. The second chapter is a brand new adventure, brimming with fresh possibilities and opportunities. Face any hidden issues head-on to find your inner peace and achieve emotional balance. Your first chance for a breakthrough arrives with this month’s eclipse on October 15th, prompting a moment of introspection and self-discovery. Embrace solitude to find your balance and pay attention to your dreams. This eclipse is likely to ignite an internal fire, driving you toward determined and focused action. Use this energy to carry you through until the second eclipse on October 29th, which signifies a powerful turning point. The spotlight during this time is on your commitment and relationships sector, inviting you to let go of any unhealthy attachments. If your emotions become overwhelming, seek a quiet environment to gather your thoughts Scorpio and lean on your inner strength, for renewal awaits on the other side.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The hard work you’ve been diligently putting in is about to pay off! Even when working behind the scenes isn’t as exciting, it still produces tangible results with impact. You’ve been on an internal quest challenging your thoughts and desires. Now you have the opportunity to turn your ideas into action. Your reputation is set to receive a boost mid-month, so pay attention to the details as you approach your goals. October 15th, during the first eclipse, is a perfect moment to embrace new connections and a renewed sense of belonging. Attend an event or reconnect with old friends to take full advantage of this auspicious time. The second eclipse arrives on October 29th, marking a turning point in matters of health and wellbeing. Jupiter, your ruler, has been prompting changes in this area since May, so it’s an excellent opportunity to break free from any lingering unhealthy habits. Remember that inspiration always leads to motivation for you, Sagittarius. So, ditch any stale routines and seek out new ways to revitalise your daily habits!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
What fresh ambitions have come to light lately? The introspection and re-evaluation of your desires are about to take shape this month. Don’t restrain yourself; use your ambitious drive to go after what you want. Your goal-oriented actions will propel you forward, even though it’s a different pace than you’re used to. Pay attention to the patterns that emerge around each eclipse this month. The first eclipse arrives on October 15th, marking new beginnings and professional growth. This turning point could involve seeking and solidifying balance within your work or gaining public recognition. If you approach life with “meaning and purpose” as your North Star, not only will you attract attention, but you’ll also find deep fulfilment. These themes carry over into the second eclipse on October 29th, which sheds light on your self-expression and romance zone. If certain areas of your life have felt stagnant, lacking that joie de vivre, expect a fresh injection of energy. Your personal life is about to undergo a transformation, Capricorn, and if anyone is ready to embrace the change, it’s you!
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
At this moment you’re laying the foundation for your future self and the stronger this foundation, the more it can support the weight of your dreams. This profound period is helping you transform your dreams into tangible reality, which aligns perfectly with your life’s purpose! However, with not one but two eclipses arriving this month, you might feel like you’re in overdrive, spreading your energy too thin as you explore multiple ideas due to information overload. Protect your nervous system, by prioritising walks outside in nature as they’ll provide an instant boost of mind-body connection. The first eclipse on October 15th encourages you to broaden your horizons. Instead of seeking out new perspectives from external sources, dive within and explore the knowledge you already possess. The second eclipse on October 29th, the spotlight shifts towards matters close to home. If you’ve been contemplating your living situation, expect revelations on how best to move forward. Your unique “bird’s eye” view of life is your strength, Aquarius. So zoom out before zooming back in to seek solutions.
