October Astro Highlights

Welcome to October and the final days of the Eclipse Season. We started this round of lunations on Sep 17 – 18 with the Harvest Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. As mentioned before, eclipses are wild cards that quicken processes, and right on Sep 17 and 18, Hezbollah’s pagers started blowing up, harvesting many of the terrorist organization’s top leadership. The winds of war continue with the Oct 2 eclipse since it is a South Node eclipse in Libra, therefore preventing us from tapping into the peaceful, diplomatic qualities of Libra’s New Moon.

October 2 is also Rosh Hashanah, the day Adam and Eve were born (according to the Talmud). A day before Oct 1, I will be offering a webinar analyzing the chart of humanity and the mission of your sign based on the idea that the primordial couple was created on the New Moon in Libra. We will also cover the principles of Rosh Hashana and have a Shofar meditation. On October 30, Halloween’s Eve, I will honor the Day of the Dead by offering a past lifetime regression and a discussion on death and the afterlife. A recording is available for both webinars.

Read about October’s important astro days

• October 1 (Mars trine Saturn): High productivity and constructive assertiveness give you the tools and means to get things done. Using the right timing and being patient can promise success. Register to workshop on the Solar Eclipse and the Chart of Humanity.
• October 2 (New Moon in Libra): A Solar Eclipse. A new and powerful beginning in many aspects of your life. Dubbed the Moon of Peace, the Libra New Moon is a great time to start a relationship or an art project. Since Lilith and Mercury are involved in the lunation, be extra careful about what you say and write, as Lilith is plotting some discord in the next few days.
• October 3 (Sun conjunct Lilith): Someone is shining a light on your insecurities and fears. It’s a great day for therapy or any activity designed to heal your deepest fears. However, you might feel exposed or be the victim of a smearing campaign.
• October 4 (Venus trine Saturn): Now it’s Venus’s turn to be guided and uplifted by old Saturn. This is a great aspect for integrating art and good taste into your business. Relationships with older people can prove beneficial. Long-term investments can benefit from this aspect.
• October 5 – 6 (Mercury squares Mars): Discord, arguments, and fights over words or intellectual property can arise. This can also lead to conflicts with relatives, neighbors, roommates, and siblings. Make sure to listen more and speak less.
• October 6 – 9 (Venus and Mars trine): This is a great aspect for love, romance, art, passion, and harmony. Yin falls in love with Yang, just as anima does with animus. A wonderful time to go on a date, make new friends, and engage in teamwork.
• October 8 – 9 (Jupiter Stationary): You might feel like being generous with your time, wisdom, and money, yet no one seems receptive. Act less; practice reception.
• October 10, 2024 – February 5, 2025 (Jupiter retrograde): A turning point where you’re asked to view your assets and gifts from a fresh perspective. A time for internal expansion and developing your own creed. Perfect for independent learning; let your inner teacher become your mentor. Some gifts will be on hold until Jupiter goes direct in February next year.
• October 12 – 15 (Sun squares Mars): Watch out for aggression, either emanating from you or directed towards you. Exercise caution when training intensely or sharing your opinions dogmatically. Conflicts can arise unexpectedly.
• October 13 – 14 (Sun trine Jupiter): An atmosphere of optimism and a “yes, you can!” vibe permeates the air. People seem more generous with their time and resources. However, be wary of overoptimism and overconfidence. This aspect helps offset some negativity from the Sun squaring Mars.
• October 13 (Mercury enters Scorpio until Nov 2): An ideal period for research, finding lost objects or people, and expressing intimacy. Mercury is known as the psychopomp – the guide of souls to the realm of the dead. It’s a good time to move on, declare bygones, and explore investments and collaborations.
• October 14 – 15 (Venus opposite Uranus): Expect unpredictability, especially in relationships and finances. You might find yourself drawn to charismatic but inconsistent individuals. Disruptions in your primary relationships and legal matters are possible.
• October 15 – 16 (Venus trine Neptune): A prime time for romance, creativity, and the arts. Engage in dance and yoga to channel the beauty of this aspect. Perhaps reconnect with a talent or individual from a past lifetime.
• October 17 (Full Moon in Aries): This Full Moon, bordering on a lunar eclipse, is a tad challenging. With Chiron’s involvement, it’s an occasion for learning, teaching, and shamanistic journeys. While there’s an aggressive undertone, it’s a good moment to conclude matters and transition.
• October 17 (Venus enters Sagittarius until November 11): Venus might make you fall for someone from a different background. Alternatively, you might discover a subject or mentor that inspires you. It’s a great time for exploration, be it through dining, traveling, or studying. Connect authentically with people and embark on romantic and artistic adventures.
• October 22/23 (Sun enters Scorpio until November 21): For the next 30 days, we are all Scorpios. Focus on authenticity, depth, and transformation. It’s a month to reignite passions, delve into the occult, and assist others in their endeavors.

My book on the Astrology of 2025 is available from today!

• October 22 – 23 (Sun square Pluto): This aspect brings intense energy, which can be harnessed for good or ill. Avoid manipulative individuals with dubious reputations, as they might be drawn to you.
• October 23 – 26 (Mars sextile Uranus): A brief window opens for updating your digital environment. This period is also conducive to group physical activities.
• October 26 – 30 (Mars trine Neptune): Ideals meet action. Walk in another’s shoes, trust your intuition, and creatively envision solutions. Your intuitive actions might appear impulsive, but they serve a purpose. Conjure new strategies to tackle challenges. Join the Past Lifetime Regression.
• October 30 – 31 (Mercury opposite Uranus): Brilliance and intriguing encounters might not easily translate into practical progress. Many ideas might be implausible but keep an open mind; you might find a gem among them.
• October 31 (Mercury trine Neptune): Engage in communication with the divine, perhaps through a guardian angel, therapy, or prayer. Embrace lucid dreaming and vivid visions. It’s a time to receive wisdom from unconventional sources, placing intellect at the service of mysticism.
