ZOE MOON ASTROLOGY OCTOBER MONTHLY HOROSCOPES
We have SO much going on in October! I feel like I’ll be writing a book, lol. I’ll try to just hit the highpoints. So, we enter the month with Mercury Retrograde in Libra and this is in play until the 18th. This means it’s important that we are rethinking, reassessing, releasing, rekindling, or reworking things with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, advocates, and the like during this time. There can be mix-ups, miscommunications, malfunctioning gadgets, things breaking down, it’s about slowing us down so we figure something out here in this do-over, so pace yourself. Key dates to watch this month when you may hear from this person or talk or meet with them or get into sales, writing, short trips, offers, or decisions that are important to the process here with them are: the 1st when there is a challenge regarding sex, triangles, power, control, jealousy, finances, or changes, the 3rd when there is optimism or expansion tied to what you are in your do-over about and this involves friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, or gatherings, the 9th when the mid-point or turning point of the Retrograde arrives and we are more personally or physically involved as well as fired up thanks to Mars bringing more passion, anger or action about what’s going on, the 16th when Venus opens up to the story with opportunities for love, income, beauty, or enjoyment through travel, distance, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interest, and the 18th when Mercury Retrograde ends and Mercury goes Direct, shifting the direction for us as we are now ready to start moving forward with whatever we figured out. In the midst of all of this Mercury Retrograde do-over with our partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, advocates, and the like, there is a New Moon on the 6th in this same territory. Wow! So we have 2 weeks of forward momentum thrust into the center of this to help us start something new or take a current situation into what comes next. This means that from the 6th – 20th we might be moving forward with something past or ongoing in some new way.
The 6th is also the day that Pluto goes Direct after months of Retrograde. So we are experiencing a shift in direction with this deep, powerful energy and can expect to feel like we are ready to start moving forward again with our personal power, any changes we are ready to make around our goals, career, status, or with authority types, with our financial needs, sex life, reproductive interests, divorce, mortality issues, or third-party situations. Pluto will be taking us forward into what comes next from oct 6th 2021-April 30, 2022. A heads up this month, Mars will square Pluto between the 21st-22nd of October so there can be more aggressive actions, reactions, anger, violence, or accidents with sharp objects or weapons during this period, stay away from dangerous people and situations. If things have been building over one of these Pluto topics with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or others, expect it to flare up over these couple days.
Venus heads into Sagittarius on the 7th through Nov 5th. This period brings more enjoyment or more potential for love, income or beauty playing out through travel, at a distance, through media, educational pursuits, legal matters, ceremonies, religion, or politics. It is a time of growth, adventure, happiness, or prosperity here within the parameters of your own chart, make the most of it.
The 2 big boys, Saturn and Jupiter, both are ending months of Retrograde and going Direct this month in Aquarius. Saturn goes Direct on the 10th and Jupiter goes Direct on the 18th. So, mid-month we are shifting gears with our responsibilities, rules, limits, endings, commitments, time, structures, support, ambitions, goals, career, and authority figures (Saturn) and with our growth, happiness, prosperity, adventures, legal, travel, foreign, media, educational, ceremonial, religious, or political interests (Jupiter) and this is playing out via our aspirations, original projects, freedoms, online interest, groups, friends, gatherings, astrology, or charities (Aquarius). You may wish to wait for this 8 days to make their change of direction before launching something here since it may feel a bit off balance until everything is heading forward again. New and next chapter stuff is now ready to happen.
There is a Full Moon in Aries on the 20th. This is about peak moments involving our egos, bodies, identities, names, title, brand, image, involvement in things, or needs. It could be passionate, angry or active and should be about what is wrapping up, ending, achieved, or celebrated on a personal or physical level at this point.
The Sun heads into Scorpio on the 22/23rd for a 30-day tour. This means we’ll be more personally or physically involved in financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party matters over these weeks ahead. Its about showing up and making it about our own interests here, standing out, taking the lead, and seeing where it takes us. Mars then moves into this same zone on the 30th for a 7+ week tour which brings a lot more passion, anger, fighting spirit, motivation, and/or action in these areas of life during this period. It looks like it’s about to get busy here!
Halloween has 2 influences going on, both looking open for us. First, if you want to work, earn money, make it about the animals, health, co-workers, purchases, possessions, or hired help, then there are some exciting influences here or last-minute opportunities popping up. On the other hand, you may have potential for talks, offers, short trips, local activities, or decisions with partners, clients, specialists, or representatives, or other such individuals involving parties, online interests, friends, groups, gatherings, or other such social interests that open up and bring some happiness your way.
ARIES:
A big portion of your month in October is about partners, clients, specialists, representatives, opponents, competitors, advocates, or other such relationships, Aries. Mercury is Retrograde here until the 18th and you are in do-over mode with or about them during this period. You may be rethinking something, going back to the past to rekindle or release something, or reworking some ongoing situation. Watch the mix-ups, miscommunications, and malfunctioning or breaking items tied to this revamp, these things are happening to slow you down so you don’t miss something you need to see. So, take your time, feel it out, it’s all about talks, meetings, short trips, moves, local activities, sales, writing, offers, or decisions with/about them that help you figure it out. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 18th you are moving forward again over the degrees you backed over during the Retrograde now through Nov 1st and then into new opportunities after that so watch for what is now possible and moving again with these key players. There is also a NEW MOON on the 6th in this same territory of partners, clients, specialists, representatives, competitors, and the like so you now have 2 weeks of forward momentum helping you to start something new or take a current situation into that next chapter with/about them.
The 6th is also the day that Pluto ends his months in Retrograde and goes Direct. This is about a shift in the energy that is now ready to start moving forward into what comes next with financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party matters. It’s about personal goals here or authority figures in the mix or career needs in play and any changes or evolving of the story that is now getting underway. Do note that things might get fired up and challenging here between the 21st-22nd as Mars squares this from the zone of partners, clients, specialists, opponents, competitors, attorneys, agents, or other key relationships, so don’t poke the bear on these days and avoid hostile people or places.
Venus heads into Sagittarius on the 7th and will now tour here until Nov 5th. This means that over these weeks ahead she may help you enjoy yourself more or bring love, income or beauty to bear on your travel plans, with educational pursuits, media ventures, legal matters, ceremonies, religious experience, political agendas, or distant situations.
Saturn and Jupiter are both shifting gears out of their Retrogrades into Direct motion in Aquarius on the 10th and 18th respectively. This means you have had enough time to reassess what’s going on with your aspirations, freedoms, original projects, friends, groups, associates, online interests, astrology, charities, or gatherings, and it’s now time to start to look at new responsibilities, goals, career interests, time, commitments, endings, ambitions, and any legal, travel, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interests in these areas of life, what’s next? It’s possible a story that has been playing out here now shifts in some way over these days so feel it out, its time to move ahead.
The FULL MOON on the 20th is in your sign, Aries, so it’s about you. You may be wrapping something up or finally ending it or you may be achieving a goal or celebrating and the focus is on what’s going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, involvement, identity, or needs. Aim high, there’s a lot of attention on you right now!
The Sun heads into Scorpio on the 22nd/23rd followed by Mars heading into this zone on the 30th. The Sun will spotlight your personal or physical activity here and how you make it about your needs or involvement while Mars will be about the passion, anger, fights, motivation, or action going on here. You have the Sun here for 30 days and Mars here for almost double, for 7+ weeks. It’s time to get busy with Scorpio topics; loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, sexual attractions, reproductive needs, birth, death, divorce, or third-party stories.
Halloween can be a day where things are in flow for you with work, co-workers, hired help, health interests, animals, paperwork, income, purchases, or possessions, or it can be focused on talks, meetings, short trips, offers, or decisions involving partners, clients, specialists, reps, or other relationships and something big opening up with friends, groups, online, or with gatherings. Both are in flow, Happy Halloween! To book a private reading ask about it at zoemoonastrology@gmail.com
TAURUS:
You enter October with Mercury Retrograde still going strong and in fact this is in play until the 18th. So, you are in do-over mode when it comes to the talks, offers, sales, writing, or decisions about work, health or animals, or involving co-workers, hired help, or paperwork. Take your time, look for mix-ups, malfunctioning items or miscommunications, be willing to review past or ongoing situations here to see what you might release, what you might wish to return to the past to reassess or what ongoing scenario could use some added effort to get it right. There does seem to be a challenge or something pushing you more on the 1st as this squares Pluto so look at financial, sexual, or third-party situations and any legal, travel, educational, or media situations that might be in the mix and require something else from you. The rest of the Retrograde seems to fall under better alignments with the 3rd, 9th, 16th, and 18th being stand-out days. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 18th you are ready to start moving forward over all those degrees you backed over now through Nov 1st, and then into some new opportunities after that so watch for things to shift and start moving. In the midst of this there is a NEW MOON on the 6th that opens up 2 weeks of forward momentum for you with work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, or co-workers. This is your best time to start something new or take current situations in these areas into that next chapter. Just remember that in the first couple days of this New Moon any launching you do does have something ongoing or past tied into it with that Mercury Retrograde so if you don’t want the potential issues you may wish to wait until Mercury is Direct (unless your launch is meant to involve a past scenario into new territory).
Pluto has been Retrograde for months and on the 6th he ends this backwards direction and goes Direct again. Pluto will be taking you forward into what comes next with loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, your commissions, bankruptcy, or any other financial topics, as well as with sexual interests, reproductive needs, birth, death, divorce, and third-party situations and these will be playing out via travel, distance, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political realms now until the end of April next year. So, you may now be able to secure the loan or investor for your media venture or work with a third party to sign the legal documents or you may travel or relocate at a distance due to the chemistry between you and a lover, you get the idea, it’s time to start moving again. Do note that between the 21st and 22rd this month Mars will be poking at this and challenging you to either do something, react to something, express your passions about it, or deal with anger or fights about it, and Mars is showing up as a co-worker, hired help, paperwork, your job, health, or animals, so something tests you here at this point.
Venus moves into Sagittarius on the 7th and will tour here until Nov 5th. This is your zone of financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, and third-party matters so hosting Venus here can help you smooth out issues, attract more love, income flow or beauty via these arenas, or enjoy yourself more. This combined with Pluto going Direct certainly seems to indicate something big is amping up between them regarding the travel, distant, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political themes in the background of this story.
On the 10th and the 18th respectively, both Saturn and then Jupiter end long Retrogrades and both go Direct in Aquarius. This is a huge shift for everyone, pulling us out of our internal process or out of the backtracking we’ve done over the past few months and facing us forward for the months to come. Saturn is about goals, career, commitments, responsibilities, time, endings, limits, structures that support, authority types, and ambitions, while Jupiter is about growth, happiness, adventure, prosperity, and what is going on with travel, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interests. So, both are now moving into what comes next and they are doing it in your zone of big personal goals, status, fame, career, and authority figures. So, if you’ve felt like any of these things have been held back know that this is now passing as you are ready to go for what you want again. Since this is in Aquarius you may find your friends or groups are helpful in your endeavors or that you are online or doing something with astrology or charities, or that your original ideas and projects are behind this potential. Jupiter will be moving you through these goals, career interests and authority figures until Dec 29th this year while Saturn will extend his journey through these matters until the first week of June next year before he begins another Retrograde here, make the most of it Taurus!
The Full Moon on the 20th is a culminating point for you when things are finally coming together or wrapping up and the focus for you is on rest, recuperation, institutions, research, artistic pursuits, romantic interests, spiritual practices, magic, psychic abilities, dreams, addictions, secrets, deceptions, water interests/issues, or boundary issues. So, expect in the days leading up to this for some things to be climaxing in at least one of these arenas. You may be ending a story altogether or seeing some breakthroughs, celebrations or achievements, or finalizing something as you wrap it up. There is something of a personal or physical nature to this story for you so you may be front and center in the thick of this physically or it may involve your name, title, brand, image, body, or needs in some way.
The Sun heads into Scorpio between the 22nd and 23rd, while Mars follows into this zone on the 30th. So, the Sun will be touring Scorpio for 30 days while Mars will almost double that time, touring here for 7+ weeks. This means a whole heck of a lot more going on with your partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, advocates, or other such relationships. The Sun spotlights your involvement or needs in the matter or you are in there with your name, title, brand, image, body, or desires, and this should help you make it about you over these weeks. Mars is sparking all kinds of passion, anger, fights, or action with these people, helping you make things happen if you can stay out of the aggressions here. For reference, that last time these two personal and dynamic energies got together in Scorpio was in Oct 2006, so it’s kinda a big deal, time to connect.
Halloween holds some nice alignments this year and for your sign you could go one of two ways. First, there is potential to do something exciting or last minute with a lover, the kids, a creative venture, or recreational pursuit so you might feel like going to some last-minute party with your lover or getting creative for the kids in your neighborhood. On the other hand, the news, talks or decisions going on about work, health, animals, paperwork hired help, or co-workers is coming in and in flow with something expansive on the career front or with a big personal goal or authority figure. So, you could be working and impressing higher-ups this Halloween or putting in effort for a parents enjoyment or you may decide your goal is to experience a healthy Halloween and put effort here or dress your pets up to participate in a Halloween contest online, as examples. Happy Halloween! To book a private reading ask about it at zoemoonastrology@gmail.com
GEMINI:
You head into October with Mercury Retrograde still going strong and this will be in play until the 18th. This means you are in do-over mode over these first few weeks when it comes to lovers or your love life, children or creative endeavors, dramas or entitlement issues, or with risk or recreational pursuits. You will want to double check facts, figures, and be on the lookout for mix-ups, miscommunications or malfunctioning gadgets, you know the drill. It’s trying to slow you down enough that you rethink reassess, release, rekindle, or rework something past or present so you get it right. To this end you may be connecting with partners, clients, specialists, reps, competitors, advocates, or the like about it. What stays, what goes, what needs a bit more from you? It looks like something tests you here on the 1st as you must deal with something financial, sexual, or about the birth, death, divorce, or third-party situation in the mix, however, the alignments will get better as you progress through this Retrograde. So, watch the 3rd, 9th, 16th, and 18th for possibilities with your do-over with lovers, kids, creative ventures, or recreational pursuits. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 18th you are ready to start moving forward over all those degrees you backed over now through Nov 1st, and then into some new opportunities after that so watch for things to shift and start moving. In the midst of this you get a NEW MOON on the 6th in the same zone! This gives you 2 weeks of forward momentum and it’s meant to help you start something new or take a current situation into what comes next, with a little boost from the cosmos. So you want to be proactive with these next interests with lovers, kids, creative ventures, or recreational pursuits, but if you start in the first 3 days while Mercury is still Retrograde and then stationing Direct, something from the ongoing or past may be tied to it. You might also have some of the crazy glitchy side of things tied to it so weight out how you’d like to move forward and when.
Pluto has been Retrograde for months and on the 6th he ends that Retrograde cycle and goes Direct. This is a shift with the financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, control, power, change, or third-party influences and what is now possible to move forward with via going deeper, purging, or evolving these stories. You have forward motion here until the end of April next year. Do note that between the 21st-22nd this month Mars will square this forward motion so it is likely that something sparks up with a lover, your creative endeavors, the kids, a drama, entitlement issues, or a recreational pursuit that pushes things here in some way. Again, with Mars this could be passionate, angry, confrontational, or motivating and active but with friction.
Venus is changing signs on the 7th, heading into Sagittarius and your relationship zone. This is a lovely energy to host here, Gemini. Venus may help you smooth out issues if you are having them or she may focus on love, income or beauty with these folks, or she may help you just enjoy yourself more with them. Relationships include partners in romance or business, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or advocates. Make the most of this time, you have Venus here until Nov 5th.
Both Saturn and Jupiter are ending long Retrogrades this month, Saturn going Direct on the 10th, Jupiter going Direct on the 18th, and both of them are doing so in the sign Aquarius. So, that is a major shift for you when it comes to travel, distant, foreign, import/export, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political themes. You are now shifting gears, coming out of any processing or backtracking here and starting to move forward from the 10th with commitments, responsibilities, rules, time, endings, limits, structures, career interests, authority types, or ambitions about it, and from the 18th with personal growth, happiness, prosperity, or adventures about it. It really should get the ball rolling in some important way in these arenas for you, do note you have Jupit4er here until Dec 29th, and Saturn in Direct motion here until he starts his next Retrograde in the 1st week of June next year.
The FULL MOON on the 20th is about seeing things coming to a head or climaxing in some way with friends, associates, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, causes, freedoms, original projects, or personal aspirations. You may be wrapping up what you’ve been working on or mark a definitive ending here or you may find you are celebrating, achieving goals, having breakthroughs, or garnering some recognition here as things hit their peak. It is likely you are personally or physically involved, showing up or making it about your name, brand, image, title, or needs in the mix.
On the 22nd/23rd the Sun heads into Scorpio and this is then followed by Mars heading into Scorpio on the 30th. This is kicking off a 30 day cycle with the Sun and a 7+ week cycle with Mars in this territory, and to put it in perspective, the last time they met here on the same degree was in Oct 2006. For your sign this means some more powerful things starting to happen regarding your work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, or co-workers over these weeks ahead. The Sun urges you to show up, get involved, make it personal, and take the lead, while Mars fires up all kinds of passion, anger or activity here and helps you move a mountain or two if you can stay out of the fights. So it’s time to get busy and make the most of these influences.
Halloween holds some pretty good alignments this year and you could choose to lean into one of two energetics at play or both. The first is about what’s going on at home, with family, real estate deals, moves, renovations, parents, or roommates, and this is in flow with the innovative or unusual stuff happening behind the scenes, artistically, romantically, spiritually, magically, with the veil between worlds, or with rest, recuperation, research, or institutions. This would seem to point to some very artistic or romantic interludes at home or calling on the spirits on the other side or doing something spiritual with the family, you get the idea. Next there is potential for talks, offers, or decisions with lovers, kids, creative ventures, or recreational pursuits and this is in flow with distant, travel, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political interests. So you may hear from a lover who invites you to travel or you may do a media show with the kids to celebrate it or you may decide to get on your show and teach others something about the Holiday or take a class alone or with the kids, or you may perform a creative ritual/ceremony, or make it about recreating with the kids or lover, you get the idea. Happy Halloween! To book a private reading ask about it at zoemoonastrology@gmail.com
CANCER:
You are full into your Mercury Retrograde in Libra as you enter October and will stay in this backtracking and review mode until the 18th. Therefore, slow down, watch for mix-ups, miscommunications or malfunctioning items, and look for ways to rethink, release, rekindle, or rework past or ongoing scenarios with your home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, history, roommates, or emotional needs. It’s your do-over so you want to stay in flux and review. Partners, clients, specialists, reps, competitors, advocates, or the like may play a part since this is in the sign Libra so look at these connections for ways to rework or release things in these areas. It looks like you may have something test you about it on the 1st as news comes in or a talk, sale, agreement, offer, or decision about it meets with frictional energy about the financial, sexual, divorce, mortality, reproductive, or third-party influence playing out with the partner, client, specialist, agent, attorney, competitor, or other relationship in the mix. Once you get past this blip it seems the Mercury Retrograde energy then starts to form more positive alignments the rest of the time, with the 3rd, 9th, 16th, and 18th the days to watch. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 18th you are ready to start moving forward over all those degrees you backed over now through Nov 1st, and then into some new opportunities after that so watch for things to shift and start moving. In the midst of all of this Mercury Retrograde energy aimed at your home, family, moves, renovations, real estate deals, parents, roommates, history, and emotional needs, you get a NEW MOON on the 6th in the same territory! This gives you a cosmic boost forward, helping you to start something brand new or take a current interest into that next chapter so you want to be proactive about it. Just remember that it looks like something about the ongoing or past situation must be tied to this new start in some way, whether that means you need to let something go to get that forward momentum or you need to take a reworked past or ongoing situation with you into new territory, it’s going to be powerful! Again, as with the Mercury Retrograde, this New Moon is in Libra so partners, clients, specialists, reps, competitors, advocates, or the like are likely to play a significant role in moving things forward with these matters.
Pluto has been Retrograde for months and now on the 6th this ends as he goes Direct again. This shift in energy is occurring in your zone of partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, advocates, and other key relationships. So, it is now time to see some forward motion regarding financial matters, sexual interests, reproductive needs, what they are doing about divorce or death, with deep changes, purging of something, control, power, or third-party interests in the mix. You’ve been in this heavy energy with your key relationships about these topics since 2008 so it’s nothing new for you but forward direction means new things can start to be introduced or places where things have felt stuck can start to evolve again. Do watch the 21st and 22nd as Mars is due to show up and poke at one of these matters one of these folks so you have something firing up about passions, anger, fights, or motivational action regarding the home, real estate deal, move, renovation, family, parent, or roommate that pushes this thing with or about them on this day. Pluto will continue in his Direct motion now until the end of April next year.
On the 7th Venus changes signs, heading into your 6th house of work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, and co-workers. This is great for helping you smooth out any issues, or for attracting love, income or beauty into these arenas or for enjoying yourself more over the weeks ahead. So look for ways to earn at work that are more beautiful or enjoyable or ways to involve a co-worker in a health pursuit or to beautify your work environment, or do more joyous things with your pets, you get the idea. Venus tours this arena until Nov 5th, make the most of it.
Both Saturn and Jupiter are ending their Retrogrades in Aquarius this month, Saturn on the 10th, Jupiter on the 18th. So those days from the 10th-18th are significant for a shift in direction for you when it comes to what is going on with loans, debt, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, settlements, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, or other financial topics, or with what is going on sexually, with reproductive needs, divorce, births, deaths, or third-party situations. Saturn is now ready to start to move ahead with time, commitments, rules, endings, responsibilities, authority types, goals, career needs, or ambitions about it, while Jupiter is ready to move forward with growth, happiness, prosperity, adventure, or any travel, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political influences in the mix. Things in your financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party stories may experience some powerful shift in direction during these 8 days when things are turning in the astrological sky. So it may be time to get serious about what comes next with legalities and your financial interest or you may commit to traveling for a sexual romp or divorce, or you may get real about your need for more education or decide you’re ready to put in the effort to teach others something about intimacy, the occult, a financial interest, or powerful interests that fall in this territory. You get the idea, forward you go. Jupiter will be doing his part with expansive influences here now through Dec 29th while Saturn continues on here in forward motion until the first week of June next year and then Retrogrades again over these topics, make the most of the potential.
The FULL MOON on the 20th is about what is building to some kind of climax with a personal goal, your reputation, fame, status, career, or with higher-ups like a boss, parent, judge, director, mentor, or the like. It’s possible something that has been going on is wrapping up or that there is a need to bring a definitive ending in one of these areas or it may be celebratory as you hit that peak mark here or you are achieving goals, noting breakthroughs or garnering some recognition here. It is likely that you are either front and center in this or that your name, title, brand, image, or needs are somehow part of this culminating moment.
The Sun heads into your zone of true love and lovers, children, drama, entitlement issues, creative ventures, recreational pursuits, and Leo’s on the 22nd/23rd and will tour here for 30 days. This is closely mimicked by Mars heading into this same zone on the 30th but almost doubling his time here, staying for 7+ weeks. This means there is about to be a whole lot going on in these areas of life, Cancer. First off, the Sun spotlights you here and urges you to show up, get more personally or physically involved with these lovers, kids, creative ventures, or recreational pursuits. It helps you stand out, make it about your interests or take the lead. Mars on the other hand is all about sparking up lots more passion, anger, fights, motivation, or activities with these lovers, in pursuit of love, with kids, the creative ventures, dramas, entitlement issues, or recreational pursuits. It’s highly likely you can really make things happen with yourself at the heart of this story as long as you manage to stay out of the more aggressive or confrontational side of Mars in the mix. To put it in perspective, the last time you had these two personal energies in this place together to share degree was in Oct 2006 so make the most of the weeks ahead.
Finally, Halloween has a couple things going on and they are both in flow so you may choose one, the other or both to do today. First, there is a lot of flow with talks, invitations, short trips, writing, sales, meetings, offers, or decisions going on that bring about excitement or nice surprises with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, or are about aspirations for you. So you may opt to spend Halloween online scrolling through lots of friends pages or zip over to a friends house nearby or be part of a group that invites you out last minute. On the other hand, there is also a focus on news, talks or decisions going on at or about home, with real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, or roommates and this is in flow with financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party interests. So, you may spend Halloween at home having lots of dressed up sex, lol, or you may invest in lots of scary décor for the home and throw your own party, or you may focus on the occult side of things at a family gathering or out with a roommate, you get the idea, Happy Halloween!

LEO:
Wow, Leo, you start the month with Mercury Retrograde in the zone of talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, and ideas, as well as with siblings, neighbors, moves, vehicles, electronics, short trips, local activities, and decisions. This is the territory Mercury naturally rules so you are in a big Retrograde as you reassess the balance, justice, higher esthetics, or relationships in these ways (partners, clients, specialists, representatives, competitors, etc). Do you need to talk with them, meet, sign papers, look at sales, move, take a short trip, involve the siblings, etc, when it comes to one or more of these key relationships or do you need the help of the expert, attorney, partner, or other such person to reassess your choices? You are in Retrograde until the 18th so watch out for mix-ups, miscommunications or malfunctioning items but they are there to slow things down enough that you don’t miss something you need to address. It’s about rethinking, revising, releasing, or rekindling things past or ongoing now. The 1st may challenge you in one of these areas since there is a tensional square to Pluto pushing buttons about it today. This brings up power, control, financial, sexual, mortality, divorce, reproductive, or third-party situations involving your health, paperwork, hired help, co-workers, job, or animals in the mix. The rest of the Retrograde alignments should then be easier, with the 3rd, 9th, 16th, and 18th the days to watch. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 18th you are moving forward with it, ready to take steps towards what comes next with these key people in these ways. You’ll move forward over the degrees you backed over now through Nov 1st and then head into brand new stuff after that. In the midst of all of this there is also a NEW MOON on the 6th in this same territory of talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, local activities, moves, vehicles, electronics, siblings, and neighbors. This gives you a cosmic boost forward over the next 2 weeks that can help you to launch into something new or take your current interest into that next chapter here, again connecting it to partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or advocates. So it’s likely that your new beginning or next chapter has something from the ongoing or past situation tied in with it, pace yourself, here you go.
Pluto has been Retrograde for months and now on the 6th that ends as Pluto goes Direct again. This means you are shifting out of your backtracking or catching up stage with financial, sexual, reproductive, power, control, mortality, divorce, or third-party needs and what is happening here tied to your health, work, hired help, co-workers, paperwork, or animals, and you are now moving forward into what comes next. This is about purging where need be, going deeper, making or accepting changes, and evolving the story over the months ahead. You’ll have until the end of April with Pluto Direct. Do note that Mars will square Pluto between the 21st-22nd so things could get intense or powerfully fired up at this point over one of these topics and the passionate, angry or motivating talks, news, meetings, short trips, local activities, offers, or decisions in the mix. For some of you it may bring the siblings, neighbors, move, vehicles, electronics, writing, or sales into the story. It’s likely that whatever came up on the 1st as Mercury squared from this position is now being acted upon or reacted to in a more powerful way.
On the 7th Venus heads into your zone of lovers, children, creative ventures, dramas, entitlement issues, and recreational pursuits where she will now tour until Nov 5th. This is a lovely influence here, Leo, as it can help you smooth out issues or attract the love, income or beauty in these areas or experience more enjoyment about it. Perhaps your sense of adventure or growth is involved or you are seeking more happiness or prosperity here, make the most of it since Venus is doing what she can to bring her gifts to these areas of life.
Within 8 days of each other, on the 10th and 18th respectively, both Saturn and then Jupiter end long Retrogrades and go Direct in the sign Aquarius. This is a major shift of direction for everyone when it comes to commitments, responsibilities, time, goals, and ambitions, as well as when it comes to growth, happiness, and prosperity and for you, Leo, it’s all about the partner, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, or advocates in your life. You’ve had months to look at what is going on with these influences as well as with your personal goals, career, status, authority figures, legal needs, travel, media, ceremonial, or educational needs with them. Now, as these giants shift direction, it’s your cue to start moving forward into next chapters with them or about them into what comes next.
There is a Full Moon on the 20th in your zone of legal, distant, travel, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, and political arenas so you are building to some kind of climactic moment here. It may be about wrapping up something you’ve been working on or marking a definitive ending in one of these arenas, or it could be about recognition coming your way here or some kind of breakthrough, celebration or achievement in one of these zones. Aim high.
The last week of the month onward then will begin to focus a lot more on your home, a move, the renovation, a real estate deal, your family, parents, or roommates. The Sun enters this zone between the 22nd/23rd and will spotlight you here over the next 30 days. This is about showing up and getting more personally or physically involved or putting your name, title, brand, image, body, or needs into the story more. Mars enters this zone on the 30th and will be traveling here until Dec 13th. Mars fires things up and brings more action in these arenas. He may also make it more passionate or angry so lean into the good stuff Leo.
Finally, for those of you wanting to know about Halloween, it’s a two-parter, with good flow around income, purchases, possessions, or being valued and your personal goals, and then with more talks, short trips, local activities, offers, or decisions that are in good flow with partners, clients, specialists, representatives, or other key people regarding your happiness, prosperity, growth, or what’s going on with travel, distance, legal, educational, media, or ceremonial themes. Happy Halloween! To book a private reading ask about it at zoemoonastrology@gmail.com
VIRGO:
Alright Virgo, you enter October with your ruler, Mercury, still in Retrograde until the 18th so you are in serious do-over mode when it comes to your income, purchases, possessions, products, values, the things you are building, your pleasures, or how you are valued. You should be hearing from others, in talks, meetings, sales, writing, offers, or ideas that are helping you to reassess things in these areas and to either review, release, rekindle, or rework things past or present. There is something testing you about this regarding the creative, recreational, child, or lover side of things and what’s going on financially, sexually, reproductively, with divorce, mortality, or third-party needs in the mix on the 1st but after this there are lots of opportune alignments coming up on the 3rd, 9th and 16th which should help you gather steam. Of course watch out for mix-ups, malfunctioning items, miscommunications, and the usual Mercury Retrograde glitches in these income, purchasing, possessions, and products arenas, especially in the 1st, 9th and 18th. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 18th you should be shifting gears and starting to move forward with whatever you figured out, getting past the Shadow phase on Nov 1st and into new things after that. Now, to add to how much the cosmos wants you to focus on these things now, there is also a NEW MOON on the 6th which is actively pushing you forward until the 20th regarding income, purchases, possessions, products, values, being valued, pleasures, and the things you are building. So, as you are in do-over mode something is opening up which means you may be moving into something new or taking a current interest into that next chapter while reviewing, releasing, rekindling, or reworking past or current situations here! Wow.
On the same day as the New Moon, Oct 6th, Pluto ends months of Retrograde and goes Direct in your zone of true love/lovers, creative ventures, children, and recreation. So, as far as looking back over the past or reworking the ongoing financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party needs in these areas goes, you are now done with that and ready to shift into forward gear and start moving forward with this into what comes next. You will have Pluto Direct until April 30th next year. Do note that this month, between the 21st-22nd Mars will square Pluto so this can be very frictional, charged up, passionate, angry, aggressive, destructive, or transformational energy around what’s going on between these areas of children, creative ventures, recreation, or lovers, and the income, purchases, possessions, products, values, being valued, pleasures, or the things you are building. So, as examples, this could be very powerful sexual energy with a lover or very destructive energy around one of your possessions with the kids, be on the lookout for fights, sharp objects, fire, things that are buried or underground, you know the drill.
Venus heads into Sagittarius on the 7th and will tour here until Nov 5th. This is your time to focus more on love, income, beauty, and pleasure at home, with family, through moves, renovations, real estate deals, parents, or roommates. You may find beautiful antiques now or earn from home or a family business or spend your time holed up at home with a lover, or find more enjoyment with a roommate, as examples. It’s a lovely influence as long as you don’t overdo the lavish side of this to your wallets detriment.
Between the 10th and 18th both Saturn and Jupiter come out of Retrograde in the sign Aquarius and start to move forward again, Saturn until the 1st week of June, Jupiter until Dec 29th when he exits this sign for another 12 years. So, this is a very powerful 8 days as the world shifts gears when it comes to responsibilities, limits, endings, commitments, ambitions, authorities, goals, and time, as well as with travel, foreign, legal, political, religious, educational, media, marketing, and ceremonial interests. This is playing out around freedoms, aspirations, original projects, social interests, and the internet thanks to Aquarius, and for your sign means you are seeing a major shift into what comes next for you with work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, and co-workers. It’s back on, Virgo, time to move into that next chapter. Anything that falls away during this gearshift 8 days is not meant to move forward into what comes next so allow for the divine timing in what is playing out.
The FULL MOON on the 20th is in your zone of loans, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, settlements, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, or other financial interests, as well as in your arena of sexual attractions, reproductive needs, hormonal situations, birth, death, divorce, power, control, jealousy, obsessions, crime, transformation, and third-party matters. Something is building to a climax here as you wrap things up, mark endings, achieve goals, or celebrate what’s going on.
The Sun heads into your zone of talks, ideas, flirtations, meetings, sales, writing, agreements, offers, and decisions between the 22nd/23rd for a 30 day tour here, putting a spotlight on you and urging you to start showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in these matters while you are standing out and can make it about you. This same influence can mean more involvement with siblings, neighbors, moves, vehicles, electronics, short trips, local activities, or your community over this same timeframe. By the 30th Mars moves into this same zone and will be helping you to fire things up, get busier than you’ve been in a couple years about it, bring more passion, deal with anger or fights, and motivate. This can help you move a mountain or two, just do be careful on the road during this period and in any situation where you might construe an electrical fire, otherwise, you will have a sharper edge and potential now so use it wisely, Mars is here for about 7 weeks.
Finally, Halloween is broken up into two periods. The first part of the day is about what you are involved in with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, or aspirations and what’s happening with media, marketing, educational, legal, travel, distant, ceremonial, religious, or political interests, all in flow. The second is then focused on talks, news, offers, meetings, sales, writing, short trips, local activities, or decisions about making money, your purchases, possessions, or products, and what’s going on with work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, or co-workers. Well, of course this could be good flow with earning in a work situation for Halloween but I could also see the purchases of quite the groovy pet costume with this one Virgo. Happy Halloween!

LIBRA:
October is profoundly about you, Libra, and why so? Well, you enter the month with Mercury Retrograde in your sign, with the intention of helping you get back to some part of yourself that you need to rekindle or to help you release something that is no longer valid or to rework some ongoing situation so that it suits you better. Your name, brand, image, body, title, identity, involvement, or needs are all wrapped up in this do-over. It is in play until the 18th at which point Mercury goes Direct and you move through the forward Shadow until Nov 1st, taking what you figured out or did about your needs forward into what comes next. Partners, specialists, clients, agents, attorneys, competitors, advocates, or what’s going on with justice, balance, or higher esthetics plays it’s part in how you go from point A to point B here. In the midst of this review, release, rekindle, or rework energy you have a New Moon in your sign on the 6th. This opens up 2 weeks of forward momentum and helps to launch you forward into something new or next chapter in ongoing stories of a personal or physical nature. So you can see you are covering past, present and future with all of this and the potential to reframe something and move forward so make the most of it. Do note that there is a square to Pluto on the 1st so you may have to deal with an issue regarding home, family, security, emotions, or roommates on that day as financial, sexual, mortality, divorce, or third-party topics come up, otherwise your Mercury Retrograde key days look good on the 3rd, 9th and 16th, and of course with your momentum kicking in with the New Moon on the 6th.
Pluto has been Retrograde for months and will end that by going Direct on the 6th as well. This shift is your cue that things are back on as far as the financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, power, control, changes, or third-party influences on your home, real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, roommates, security, or emotional needs. Over the months ahead you’ll be evolving this story a bit more. There will be a test with this between the 21st-22nd, mimicking whatever came up on the 1st but with action or reaction now about it.
Venus heads into your communications and commerce zone on the 7th for a tour here until Nov 5th. This should help you find the love, income, beauty, or pleasure through talks, meetings, sales, writing, moves, short trips, local activities, siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, offers, flirtations, or decisions over these weeks. It’s much easier to charm others with your words now Libra, use this super power wisely, lol.
Both Saturn and Jupiter have been Retrograde for months and this month they are both going to shift back into Direct motion, Saturn on the 10th, Jupiter on the 18th, and both of them in Aquarius. So, this is a period of powerful change to the direction of things as you are now ready to start moving forward again with creative endeavors, kids, lovers, or recreational pursuits over the months ahead. Saturn says get serious, put in time, structure things, make commitments, get ambitious, while Jupiter says lets go big, big, bigger with this thing. If anything ends over this 8 day period as things are shifting gears it is to make way for what comes next.
There is a Full Moon on the 20th in your relationship zone so things are heating up, wrapping up, coming through, celebratory, ending, or achieved now with partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, advocates, or the like. Somehow you are at the center of this, Libra, aim high.
On the 22nd/23rd the Sun heads into Scorpio for a 30-day tour and this is then backed up by Mars heading into this zone on the 30th for a 7 week tour here. So, you are about to get busier and more involved than you have been in some time making or pursuing income, making purchases, or with your possessions or products. Fire it up!
Finally, Halloween has some nice alignments, focusing on rest, recuperation, artistic, romantic, or spiritual interests, institutions or research, financial or sexual, or any third-party influences, as well as getting you into the flow with the kids, lover, creative venture, or recreational pursuits, sweet, Happy Halloween!

SCORPIO:
There is a whole lot going on privately, secretively, with karmic or past-life matters, institutions, research, artistic, romantic, spiritual, addictive, or recuperative topics this month, Scorpio. You enter October with Mercury Retrograde over these topics, taking you back to reassess something or let go, to rekindle or rework, to figure something out. Talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions will reflect the flux you are in about what goes, what stays or what needs some added effort up until the 18th. At this point Mercury goes Direct and you are ready to shift into forward motion and move these things forward through the Shadow phase up through Nov 1st. In the midst of this there is a New Moon on the 6th in the same territory as the Mercury Retrograde! So, you have a cosmic boost from the universe helping you to launch forward into something brand new or take your current situation into a new direction or chapter, while juggling the do-over part of it. This is in play for 2 weeks so you can see there will be a lot happening with artistic, romantic, spiritual, secretive, addictive, karmic, institutional, or research themes. Do note that the 1st may test everyone via a square to Pluto so it’s possible there is a challenging bit of news or a talk, offer or decision in play involving financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, power, control, or third-parties to contend with at this point. Good days then open up on the 3rd, 9th and 16th with the do-over and the 6th with the New Moon.
Your ruler, Pluto, has been Retrograde for months and on the 6th he goes Direct again, shifting gears and ready to start heading into what comes next with talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, local activities, moves, siblings, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, or decisions that are about his interests; financial, sexual, power, control, birth, death, divorce, or third-party matters. Again there is a testing period with this between the 21st-22nd mimicking whatever came up on the 1st but now more active or reactive.
Venus heads out of your sign and into Sagittarius on the 7th and will tour here until Nov 5th. This brings her influences of enjoyment, love, money, or beauty into your zone of earned income, purchases, possessions, or products over these weeks. It should help you attract the money more easily or spend it more readily (careful) or enjoy giving or receiving objects of affection or focusing on your beauty products, you get the idea, it should be a good thing.
For months there has been something you have been reassessing, germinating, working inwardly on, or in a holding pattern about when it comes to your home, a move, the renovation, a real estate deal, parent, roommate, family, your security, or emotional needs. Now, on the 10th and 18th, both Saturn and Jupiter end this period and both turn in the astrological sky to go Direct again. So, it’s back on Scorpio, time to move forward and move into what comes next. Saturn will help you get serious about it, make commitments, structure things, find support, put in the time and effort, or get ambitious about it, while Jupiter will take it big or over the top or help with legal, travel, educational, marketing, media, or ceremonial themes in the mix. If anything ends during the 8 days of this gear shift then look at is as part of the divine timing and making space for what comes next.
The Full Moon on the 20th is in your zone of work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, and co-workers, so something big is coming to a head here at this time. You may finally get the paperwork off of your desk or sign documents over something important to you, or you might land or quit a job, reach that health goal, adopt the pet, or have a breakthrough or wrap-up with a co-worker or that person you’ve hired in the past. It’s a peak time here and quite active.
The Sun and Mars are both heading into your sign in the last week of the month, the Sun between the 22nd/23rd and Mars on the 30th. This lights you up, puts a spotlight on you and your interests, urges you to pursue what you want or what’s going on with your body, image, brand, name, or title, and to fire up the passion, fighting spirit and activity. You’ll have the Sun on you for 30 days, Mars for 7 weeks, make the most of your own potential now Scorpio.
Finally, Halloween has a lot of good flow to it this year. For your sign you could connect with friends, associates, groups, gatherings, or online, with partners, clients, specialists, representatives, or advocates, have some private talks, offers, romantic trysts, artistic opportunities, or spiritual moments, connect to the other side of the veil through dreams, signs or ceremonies, and enjoy yourself at home or the home of others, or with family, nice! Happy Halloween.To book a private reading ask about it at zoemoonastrology@gmail.com
SAGITTARIUS:
There is a whole lot of focus on your friends, groups, associates, gatherings, online interests, astrology, charities, aspirations, and original projects in the month of October, Sage! First off, you enter the month with Mercury Retrograde here, helping you reassess where you are currently in these areas of life or to go back to something past to pick back up on that. It’s a do-over so you will have more talks, meetings, short trips, sales, writing, offers, or decisions reconnecting you here to you can figure out what stays, what goes, what comes back, and what could use a bit more effort to get it right. There is a challenge to this on the 1st so don’t let it derail you too much, it will be focused on income, purchases, possessions, products, or values in the mix. This should be counterbalanced by the good energy around your do-over topics on the 3rd, 9th, and 16th. Overlapping this is a New Moon kicking in on the 6th that is all about launching you forward into something brand new or next chapter regarding said friends, associates, groups, internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, aspirations, or original projects.

Pluto has been Retrograde for months but on the 6th you come out of that backtracking or holding pattern with your income, purchases, possessions, or products, and start to move forward again.

You may also promote your image or brand to attract more income or show up and do more to make money, and love, well just enjoy this period.
Both Saturn and Jupiter have been Retrograde in Aquarius for months so some important talks, meetings, sales, ideas, writing projects, agreements, offers, or decisions have been slowed down or reassessing or in a holding pattern but not for long. On the 10th and 18th, Saturn, then Jupiter, go Direct again so you are now moving forward with these things via putting in the time, making commitments, getting ambitious, expanding horizons, and going big. Anything that goes away during this 8 day shift is most likely making room for what comes next here.
The Full Moon on the 20th is about what is coming to a peak with a creative venture, your kids, a lover, or recreational pursuits. You may be personally or physically involved here or your name, title, brand, image, body, or needs may be tied to one of these topics as they peak.

CAPRICORN:
Well, Capricorn, I sure hope you either have A) a personal goal to get busy about, B) you’re feeling like getting all ninja on your career path or direction or C) you’ve got the energy to put in more time with or for a boss, parent, judge, mentor, director, or other authority figure because October is all over this for you. First off you enter the month with Mercury Retrograde here so it has either slowed you down so you can reassess things or it has started taking you back to rekindle, release or rework the past or an ongoing story here in your do-over. Expect news, talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, short trips, siblings, neighbors, offers, or decisions to reflect your need to reevaluate things and get them right here and of course double check things since mix-ups and glitches are part of the gig. Mercury will go Direct again on the 18th and you’ll move forward through the Post-Shadow until Nov 1st, then out of this territory by Nov 5th. What stays, what goes, what needs a bit more finessing? Do note that the 1st may test you over something here in a personal or physical way asking you to go deeper or work with change but then the 3rd, 9th and 16th bring more positive alignments and then you also get a New Moon overlapping your backtracking with some super forward momentum. The New Moon kicks in on the 6th and over the next 2 weeks can help you start new goals, career objectives or scenarios with authority figures or to take your current situations into next directions or next chapters. So you have the past, present and future covered here, it’s going to get busy. And as always with this all taking place in Libra, it will be your connections that make it all happen or have an integral part to play in this; partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, advocates, or the like.
You have been hosting Pluto since 2008, just 3 more years to go, and boy has it completely changed who you are inside and out with more to come. Over the past months Pluto has been Retrograde so you’ve been reassessing your personal or physical changes, how you are evolving, what’s going on with your empowerment or changes, your financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, obsessions, control, or third-party influences upon your body, image, brand, name, title, identity, needs, or involvement in life. Now, on the 6th, Pluto goes Direct and you head into what comes next for yourself via these themes, moving forward again into that next stage of transformation.
Venus heads into your 12th house on the 7th and will tour here until Nov 5th. So, Venus rules love, income, beauty, and pleasure, and in your 12th house this will be more private, secretive, addictive, romantic, spiritual, artistic, recuperative, strategic, hidden, dreamy, karmic/past-life oriented, or be tied to research or institutions. Look at the potential to make money in these areas, to find or express love here, to pursue beauty, or just enjoy yourself, it should be a good thing.
For months you’ve had both Saturn, your ruler, and Jupiter in Retrograde through the sign of Aquarius. This has slowed things down or asked that you focus on your ongoing story or the past to reassess things about your income, purchases, possessions, products, values, or how you are valued. Now, on the 10th and 18th they both go Direct again and the months ahead open up to move things forward again. Saturn is saying it’s time to master that next level of proficiency, make a plan, put in the effort, structure things, and get ambitious about it, while Jupiter is saying let’s go big, pursue something that would make me happy or more prosperous or bring me some kind of growth around income, purchases, possessions, products, values, or being valued. Expect to feel this shifting over the 8 days and if anything falls away now it’s part of making room for the next chapter and in divine timing, although this is really about forward momentum now. If you have been thinking of getting new training, furthering your education or teaching when it comes to your income or product, or to travel, focus on distance or relocate at a distance, involve media, marketing, legal agreements, ceremonies, religion, or politics, you have one of the biggest boosts now through the end of December so you may wish to get started while this influence can help.
The Full Moon on the 20th is in your zone of home, family, real estate deals, moves, renovations, parents, and roommates, so you are now at the apex of the past year with these topics and could be wrapping up something you’ve been working on or ending something altogether or you could be achieving a personal goal here or celebrating something.
In the last week of the month energy begins to start pouring into your social and online arena so things are bound to amp up here. The Sun arrives between the 22nd/23rd and will tour here for 30 days. This spotlights you with friends, groups, associates, the internet, astrology, charities, events, parties, gatherings, causes, or with your own aspirations, freedoms, or original projects. You should find you are getting more invitations, connecting with more folk and able to make it about your interests here. By the 30th Mars moves into this same territory for a 7 week spin so you are now seeing more passion, anger, fights, motivation, or action going on here as you feel things heating up and you’re ready to dive in. If you can manage to sidestep the fights you should find this period to be quite successful.
Finally, Halloween has good alignments in play and for your sign this links travel, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political themes to your recreational pursuits, creative outlets, kids, or lover, and you also have flow when it comes to goals, career or authority figures and the income, purchases, possessions, or products. So I suppose if your goal was to purchase a really great costume you’d be in or if your goal was to impress that boss and make money, ditto, and well the fun stuff speaks for itself. Happy Halloween!

AQUARIUS:
So, Aquarius, as you enter October is it that you are focused on some far off place or situation, ready to travel, looking at legal matters, teaching or taking classes, dealing with marketing, media, or ceremonies, or all about religious or political topics? Mercury is taking you back over old ground here as you head in and through the 18th with the Mercury Retrograde so you’ll want to take your time, watch for mix-ups or glitches, rethink, release, rekindle, or rework things, and make it about a do-0ver here. Of course this is in Libra so balance, justice or higher esthetics may be important or it could be about the partners, clients, specialists, representatives, competitors, or other key players in the mix. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 18th you should have figured out what this was about and be ready to move forward with it as well, through the Shadow of the Retrograde until the 1st of November and then out of the sign by November 5th. Speaking of moving forward, you also have a New Moon in this same territory kicking off on the 6th and in play for 2 weeks. So, as you reassess and figure out the do-over part of things you also have forward momentum to launch into something new or take things to the next chapter in ongoing stories, wow! Do watch the 1st when Mercury Retrograde will square Pluto and something is likely to pop up to test you a bit or push things regarding the financial, sexual, third-party, mortality, divorce, or power in the situation with the institution, research, addiction, secret, artistic, romantic, or spiritual realm.
Pluto has been in Retrograde for months and on the 6th that ends as he goes Direct again. This is a shift in direction for you out of any reassessing or inner work to outwardly moving things forward again with financial, sexual, reproductive, mortality, divorce, or third-party needs going on behind the scenes, in secret, with institutions, over addictions, through research, with artistic pursuits, with your romantic interests, through magical or psychic influences, or around spiritual matters. Forward you go. Do note that whatever test popped up for you on the 1st as Mercury Retrograde squared Pluto will come around again but now with Mars squaring Pluto between the 21st-22nd so it’s in play now as you work through it.
Venus heads into Sagittarius on the 7th and will tour here until Nov 5th which should be a lovely thing for you regarding your friends, associates, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, aspirations, or original projects. Venus can help you attract the love, income, beauty, or pleasures here, get you invited to a lot more social interests, or help smooth out issues so make the most of it!
Both Saturn and Jupiter have been Retrograde in your sign for months, Aquarius, so all that powerful energy that is meant to be reshaping you in some way has been in a holding pattern or focused on some past scenario during this time. Now, on the 10th and 18th Saturn, then Jupiter go Direct and you start to enter the next chapter of personal or physical evolution through these planets. It’s about you, your body, image, brand, name, title, identity, involvement, or needs. With Saturn its now time to get serious, end whatever is over, make solid commitments to what you want next, put in the effort and time, take your responsibilities seriously, and get ambitious, while with Jupiter it is about growth, happiness, prosperity, and how furthering your education or teaching, traveling or situations at a distance, legal or media involvement, ceremonies, religious, or politics might help you reframe who you are or what is possible for you. Anything that falls away during this 8 day period as things shift should be looked at as part of the divine timing, making room for this new version of yourself you are honing.
The Full Moon on the 20th brings big news, talks, meetings, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or decisions, or something coming to a peak with a brother, sister, neighbor, move, vehicle, electronic, short trip, or local activity. This is the time when you may be wrapping something up here or having a breakthrough, marking an ending or celebrating an achievement. You are front and center here so it may be you making the decision or having the talk, proposing or moving, you get the idea.
The last week of the month is about energy heading into Scorpio, with the Sun’s entry between the 22nd-23rd for 30 days, and Mars heading into this sign on the 30th for 7 weeks. Expect to feel drawn to more involvement with your career, a personal goal, your status, fame, or a boss, parent, judge, director, or other authority figure throughout this period. It’s your cue to show up and make it about your interests here with the Sun spotlighting your involvement or title, brand, image, body, or needs. It’s also time to make things happen as Mars fires things up, brings more passion or fighting spirit, and motivates you to move a mountain or two. Sidetrack the fighting side of Mars for best results!
Finally, Halloween has some good flow so on the one hand there is good flow between financial and property needs, family, roommates, or what you are doing intimately, and on the other hand you should have some good news, talks or decisions around those travel, distant, legal, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political matters. Happy Halloween! To book a private reading ask about it at zoemoonastrology@gmail.com
PISCES:
October is focused quite strongly on your 8th house of loans, inheritance, taxes, insurance, investments, settlements, alimony, child support, a partner’s money, or other financial assets or resources, or it is focused on sexual, reproductive, birth, death, divorce, power, control, or third-party matters going on. Mercury is Retrograde over all of these topics as you enter the month and remains so through the 18th. So, you are in do-over mode about these matters, looking back at the past or ongoing situation and rethinking, rekindling, releasing, or reworking things. Partners, clients, specialists, reps, competitors, advocates, and the like figure into this story. Watch for mix-ups, malfunctioning items and final decisions while you are in flux with this Retrograde but do see what you can reassess or rework or release while you have this going on. Once Mercury goes Direct on the 18th you move forward through the Shadow until Nov 1st and then into brand new interests in these areas after so you should have figured something out and be ready to take it forward at this point. A New Moon in this same financial, sexual, reproductive, birth, death, power, divorce, and third-party arena opens up on the 6th for 2 weeks of forward momentum so you’ll have the past, present and future all actively pushing you to get busy with something here. The New Moon can help you launch into something brand new or take current interests into next chapters. Do note that Oct 1st brings a Mercury Retrograde square to Pluto so you may be dealing with some kind of challenge or added energy around it on this day online, with a friend, group, associate, gathering, aspiration, or original project.
Pluto has been Retrograde for months and on the 6th that ends as he goes Direct again. This means you are heading into the next chapter of powerful transformation with Pluto regarding financial, sexual, reproductive, power, control, birth, death, divorce, or third-party matters tied to your aspirations, original projects, friends, associates, groups, online pursuits, astrology, charities, or gatherings, forward you go. Do note that whatever test came up for you on the 1st may be revisited with action on the 21st/22nd as Mars fires things up about it.
Venus heads into your Midheaven on the 7th and tours here until Nov 5th. This period should help you when it comes to your personal goals, career or authority figures and the love, income, beauty, or pleasures involved. Women may also figure more prominently with goals involving legal, travel, educational, media, political, religious, or ceremonial interests about it. Overall it is usually a good influence to help attract, enjoy or smooth things out.
Both Saturn and Jupiter have been Retrograde for months and now on the 10th and 18th they both go Direct again in Aquarius. So, you’ve been somewhat in a holding pattern or focused on past topics with institutions, research, artistic, romantic, addictive, secretive, or spiritual matters but now that is shifting and you are ready for the next chapters. Saturn will be moving you forward with personal goals, career objectives, authority figures, commitments, endings, responsibilities, and ambitions here while Jupiter will be moving you forward with growth, happiness, prosperity, or any legal, travel, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political influences in the mix. Anything that falls away over the 8 days this is shifting should be looked at as divine timing and making way for the new things that will be showing up shortly.
There is a Full Moon on the 20th in your zone of income, purchases, possessions, products, values, and being valued. Things are wrapping up, coming through, achieved, celebrated, or ended here at this point and it’s focused on you at the center of this story in a personal or physical way.
The last week of the month is about energy pouring into Scorpio and your zone of travel, distant, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, and political interests. The Sun enters this territory between the 22nd and 23rd for a 30-day stint here. This puts a spotlight on you and urges you to show up and get more personally or physically involved, make it about your name, title, brand, image, body, or needs in the mix, and move forward. Mars enters this territory on the 30th for a 7 week stint and he is about firing things up and motivating you to do more, act, react, get more passionate, deal with anger or fights, and make things happen in these areas of life. It’s go time!
Finally, Halloween has some good flow around it this year. On the one hand this should bring a groove in talks, meetings, local activities, short trips, sales, writing, offers, or decisions that tie in with the partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, or other relationships. On the other hand you may hear or decide something financial, sexual, or third-party that is in flow with artistic, romantic, spiritual, institutional, or research interests and what’s going on behind the scenes.
