Post-Eclipse October
October offers respite from the dramas of September’s eclipses. Think of all that the September eclipse uncovered, stories that would be unfolding for 6 months until the next eclipse season (Feb 17 – March 3): Israeli Gaza invasion; bombing of Qatar; another Gaza Peace Plan; more countries recognize Palestine; UN declares genocide in Gaza; Gen Z revolutions in Nepal, Peru, Philippines, Indonesia, Madagascar, and Morocco; deadly school shootings; China military parade; French government collapses; UNICEF reports that for the first time, obesity has surpassed hunger as the leading form of global malnutrition among children and adolescents; Russian incursion into NATO and Europe airspace; political assassinations, etc, etc, etc…
October presents an opportunity to process and address all these global and personal changes and challenges. Examine your own life and use the list of worldwide events above as metaphors for what is happening in your life. You might discover that someone in September recognized your suffering or paid attention to harm being done to you (recognition of genocide), or perhaps you lost someone significant (political assassinations), or that your inner child (Gen Z demonstration) is rebelling and wants you to end the corruption of your true self.

Significan Dates in October
October 1–2 (Mercury square Jupiter): Words are cheap these days, so better listen rather than talk. Be careful not to waste ideas, time, money, or connections on mindless endeavors or chitchat.
October 6 (Mercury enters Scorpio until October 29): 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, let bygones be bygones, bury the zombies in your life, and explore investments and collaborations with other people’s assets and talents. Mercury can be your private investigator and expose hidden information.
October 7 (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 move on. There could be conflicts with partners in life or work.
October 11 (Venus opposite Saturn): This is not an easy aspect for your relationships or finances. There is emotional frustration with partners, especially long-term ones.
October 13–14 (Venus opposite Neptune): The challenges in relationships continue with Neptune creating illusions as well as dependency and codependency. There might be disappointment with someone you placed on a pedestal only to learn they are not what you expected. Be careful of unwarranted expenditure. However, you can use this aspect to connect mysticism and art.
October 13 (Venus enters Libra until November 6): Venus is so happy to be out of the cloister just in time for fashion week. She is back in her sign and can now help us connect to beauty, diplomacy, justice, relationships, and harmony.
October 14–15 (Venus trine Uranus and Pluto): Taking place while the Sun transits in Libra, ruled by Venus, it’s a great treat to have Venus receive such praise from Pluto (intimacy, sexuality, power) and Uranus (innovation, technology, friendships). This is a powerful time for igniting, transforming, balancing, and solidifying partnerships in work and personal life.
October 15 (Pluto direct): The planet associated with banking, sexuality, passion, intimacy, and death begins its direct motion after retrograding for nearly half a year. Investments that were held back begin to flow again, as does your personal power, magic, and healing abilities.
October 16 (Sun square Jupiter): Be careful of excessiveness and overcommitments. There are many inflated egos around you, so make sure you are not one of these balloons. However, this aspect can give you the courage and strength to deal with hardships.
October 19–21 (Mercury conjunct Mars): A good time for campaigning, starting a new business, and taking on a leadership position. Be mindful of how you communicate since you might come across more aggressively than intended. Today we have the free Webinar Book Launch – Metamorphosis in Motion: The Astrology of 2026
October 21 (New Moon in Libra): Dubbed the “Moon of Peace,” the Libra New Moon is a great time to start a relationship or an art project. However, both Jupiter and Pluto are squaring off with the Sun and Moon, creating uncomfortable situations. Be extra cautious and focus on breathwork and meditation.
October 22 (Neptune enters Pisces until January 27, 2026): Neptune is back to his sign for the last time in 165 years. This is the last chance to start a deep meditation practice facilitated by the ruler of mysticism. Dreams, imagination, channeling, mediumship, poetry, and art are enhanced. Announcement: : I am in Chicago area for private readings, book signing, and workshops. More info: HERE
October 23 (Sun enters Scorpio until November 22): For the next 30 days, we are all Scorpios. Focus on being true to your passion. It’s a month of healing, transformation, magic, occult, and assisting others in their talents, finances, and endeavors.
October 24–25 (Sun square Pluto): This aspect brings intense energy, which can be harnessed for good or bad. Avoid manipulative individuals with dubious reputations, as they might be drawn to you or you to them. We are entering the realm of Scorpio, and Pluto, its ruler, takes the intensity to the next level.
October 24–26 (Mercury trine Jupiter and Saturn): This aspect mitigates some of the intensity and brings about communication flow and intellectual clarity. This aspect creates a triangle of protection when we need it most. An older individual can come to your aid. Long-term projects and endeavors involving foreigners or education can be extra successful.
October 26 (Mars conjunct Lilith): Be extra careful today as the Mother of Demons hires an assassin. This is a violent and aggressive aspect. Tread cautiously.
October 27–30 (Mars trine Jupiter and Saturn): Full force ahead with Mars (energy) lending his skills and power to Jupiter (opportunities) and guided by Saturn (focus, career). Another positive grand aspect is taking off with Pluto (power) leading the way. This is an opportune time to collaborate on big projects. There is also a sense of closeness with people, shared resources, and common purpose.
October 29 (Mercury enters Sagittarius until November 19): Mercury in his sign of exile makes you feel absent-minded and distracted. It’s a good time for traveling and doing business with foreigners. Stick to the truth and avoid liars and half-truths. Great for education and publishing. Announcement: I am in NY for private readings, workshops, and book signing. More info HERE
October 30–31 (Jupiter trine Saturn): This is another promising aspect right for Halloween, the day when the veil between reincarnations is the thinnest. You can truly make your wishes come true. You might encounter a teacher or a mentor who can take you to the next level. Happy Celtic New Year!
