OCTOBER 2025
October is a quiet month to rest after the intensity of September’s eclipses. Pluto turns retrograde on October 13. That can be an explosive day. Neptune backs into Pisces to join Saturn in that sign. They give you a period of spiritual grace and show you how to be compassionate to everyone.
Mercury will be retrograde from November 9 – November 29. Plan ahead.
October 1 – Moon in Capricorn/Aquarius. Take some moments in the day to be grateful for what you have and who you are. Find beauty in your daily routine and in your work. Accept the grace that comes to you from those on the other side. Give yourself material and spiritual goals for the new month. Open your mind by investigating new systems of thought.
October 2 – Moon in Aquarius. It’s a day to think rather than do. Honor Gandhi’s birthday with non-violent protest instead of arguments. Find peaceful compromises to your dilemmas. Vow to be a better person. Meet with like-minded friends to enjoy the comfort of exchanging ideas. The power of the group mind is strong today, so use it when you can. Edgar Cayce said, “Thought is the creator.”
October 3 – Moon in Aquarius. Find someone – a therapist, a friend, or Chatgbt – to discuss the issues that upset you. You will attain healing through meaningful dialogue. Take your thoughts out to the edges of the known world. Read or listen to lectures on exciting ideas like extraterrestrial life, time travel, shapeshifting. Program your mind to remember your dreams tonight.
October 4 – Moon in Pisces. It’s a special weekend when you want to put the chores off to another time and immerse yourself in a workshop or retreat. Study yoga, astrology, vibrational healing, herbalism, art and dance. You have the energy to go deep and be carried along by your intuitive right brain. Go swimming if you can.
October 5 – Moon in Pisces. Float through the day on the currents of your dreams and figure out how to manifest them. Picture yourself soaring high in a hot air balloon and coming down with a different perspective. Or, getting swept out to sea and finding an unexplored island. Plant bulbs for Spring beauty on this fertile day. Put some in public places so others can enjoy them.
October 6 – Moon in Aries. You have the energy to move forward and take care of many things. It’s best if you choose the tasks you want to do. Mercury enters Scorpio to help you in any research or discovery. Try to keep a handle on the tendency to be blunt and blurt out the truth in ways that could hurt. Go for a long walk in the woods under the full Moon and commune with the nature spirits.
October 7 – Moon in Aries. The challenge of the day is finding words that express your original thoughts in a way that won’t offend anyone. It may be best to work by yourself and put that energy into writing. Then, put it away for a few days and read it later when you cool down. Be aware that you can easily overrun and override others concerns. Start a project that has been percolating in your mind for a while. Go to the gym or for a run to work off excess energy.
October 8 – Moon in Taurus. It’s a lucky day as long as you are practical. Take a risk while doing something you love. Buy lottery and raffle tickets. Poke around in thrift stores and tag sales to find the big bargain. Put your money where it can increase. Buy a painting or a piece of pottery from an artist you like. What you invest in today will grow in value if you are patient.
October 9 – Moon in Taurus. Pay homage to Venus, who rules today’s Sun and Moon. Surround yourself with beauty, natural and manmade. Be kind in your interactions with the people you meet. Buy that piece of furniture or jewelry you’ve been admiring. Plant flowering trees and bushes. Make generous donations to organizations that help people in need.
October 10 – Moon in Gemini. You’ll find the words to say all that you must say or write. Work on your social media presence so you can reach more people. You don’t want to shock, but you do want to educate with your unique thoughts. Don’t get locked into a long term project today, write texts and articles that you can finish in a short time. Get out and see friends and siblings.
October 11 – Moon in Gemini. Follow through on the idea that was in your mind when you woke up. It’s a good day to volunteer at a shelter, food bank, or charity shop. Use your energy in acts of service. Don’t stay home alone, no matter how tired you are. You will revive when you converse and share stories with other people.
October 12 – Moon in Cancer. This is the day to do the chores and make little repairs. Clean out the kitchen closets and check the refrigerator for old items. Preserve the food that’s being harvested. Make soups to freeze. Call Mom to learn how she is. Invite family members to dinner and cook favorite childhood foods. Pretend you lived 150 years ago.
October 13 – Moon in Cancer. Pluto stands still and turns retrograde late this evening. This is intense energy when you want to be careful and aware of what’s going on around you. Let go of what is taken away. Venus enters Libra, where she brings a level of caring and kindness to all your relationships. She fills you with fantasies and pictures of the ideal partnership.
October 14 – Moon in Leo. Have a happy day. Venus frolics with Uranus to bring good changes to your life. She dances with Pluto, who is now free to move forward. Venus wants to help you express your creative side. Work on your artistic projects while you download her inspiration. Take the kids out to a special place after school and share their joy.
October 15 – Moon in Leo. You may have to rein in some of your enthusiasm if you spread yourself too thin yesterday, though you won’t lose your optimism.

October 16 – Moon in Leo/Virgo. Rearrange your things-to-do list by putting the things you love to do on the top. You can tackle the boring tasks tomorrow.

October 17 – Moon in Virgo. You can receive benefits from your partner and your family. Be open to all signs and omens that come in front of you. You have a chance to heal old wounds that arose when you were criticized or not understood by someone important. Throw away, or recycle, objects that you no longer need but hold onto for sentimental reasons.
October 18 – Moon in Virgo. Continue looking through your stuff and choosing what can go. It will feel so much better to declutter so you no longer have it in front of you, or taking up shelf and wall space. Make room for new treasures. Watch some YouTube videos on how to exercise to make sure you do them correctly. Have an anti-inflammatory dinner.
October 19 – Moon in Libra. Have a pleasant day full of friendship and good conversation. Visit art galleries and museums. Go somewhere fun with your partner or best friend. Give yourself permission to laze around as much as you want. Have a special dinner in an elegant restaurant and don’t think about how much it costs, because you deserve it.
October 20 – Moon in Libra. Something you dreamt last night will stay with you through the day. Pay attention to the odd thoughts that enter your mind and act on them as long as they don’t bother anyone. Continue with what you have started and put off anything new. It’s an old Moon, which tends to dissipate your energy. Go outside tonight and enjoy the darkness.
October 21 – Moon in Libra/Scorpio. Today’s new Moon kicks off a month to enjoy partnership, art, and being social.

October 22 – Moon in Scorpio. The Sun enters Scorpio at 11:51 pm. He spends the day gathering up his warm clothes and flashlights. Neptune moves back into Pisces for one last visit there.

Do acts of service to make Neptune happy.

You will have the ability to finish with a flourish as long as it’s something you feel passionate about.
October 24 – Moon in Sagittarius. The Sun and Pluto have a confrontation. You will be challenged to give up something you once held to be sacred. The faster you let go, the easier it will be. You have strong feelings as to what will be the next step. You’ll feel better when you speak your truth, even if it is unpopular. Try your luck, buy a lottery or raffle ticket.
October 25 – Moon in Sagittarius. It’s a good day to make travel plans for the next year. Pick somewhere you’ve never been to, somewhere that holds mystery and mysticism. Read about destinations before you make your reservations to see if it sparks something inside you. Sign up for workshops, and for yoga and meditation retreats.
October 26 – Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn. Fill the day with meaningful conversations about philosophical concepts. Your mind wants stimulation and the freedom to explore unknown topics.
