As we welcome in the first official month of flannels, hot cocoa, and cool autumn nights, we also make way for a creative and transformative month of new beginnings as we begin to slow down and settle into a calmer period in our lives. With that said, this month, we’ll kick off October in the sign of the social and charming Libra. With this focused and determined air sign guiding the way through the month, it’s going to turn our attention towards creating balance in our lives. Because of this, Libra’s independent energy will have us majorly examining our boundaries in order to find our place of perfect stability, especially in our relationships. This, alongside the planet of love, Venus, transitioning into Sagittarius within the first week of the month, will encourage us to open up more to others and develop deeper romantic connections, which will linger as one of the biggest themes this month.
Aside from this, while October is overall expected to bring a more laid-back energy than the past couple of months we’ve had, all signs are still going to experience some challenges as we work through Mercury retrograde yet again, as it is notorious for stirring up delays and miscommunication. However, contrary to popular belief, Mercury’s influence isn’t all bad. In fact, because of Mercury retrograde, we will also get a chance to re-examine things from our past this month and finally cut cords to them to find our true happiness. This, above all else, will be a huge period of rebirth and renewal for many of the signs and will help them to truly call back their divine power. Following this, we will then hit the Scorpio season on the 23rd of this month, where this energy is bound to take even more of a mischievous and self-righteous turn, so get ready for some major personal power to take the spotlight towards the end of the month.
Above all else, this will be a powerful month for learning patience, finding closure from the past, and moving forward once and for all. But to give you some insight into what you can expect to feel personally, today, we're going to touch on what energies and changes each Zodiac sign can expect throughout the month of October and how you can truly make the most of it.
Starting with the Aries, the month of October is expected to bring an inspired burst of energy into your space. With the influence of Mars in your partnership sector, your personal life is going to take priority this month, and you’re expected to be quite busy in both your social life and your professional life as a result. And because of the unparalleled focus you’re feeling right now, you will likely be able to reach new heights and see some major personal achievements now within reach, which will have you feeling truly unstoppable. Above all else, change is on the horizon for you this month, Aries. You just have to be sure to navigate it intuitively and carefully in order to get to where you want to be.

Thanks to the current planetary positions, things are expected to be beneficial in your progress in work, which will keep you feeling confident and keep the workplace beaming. You’re killing it right now, Aries. Keep up the great work.
In love, those in a relationship are likely to face some problems with their partner this month due to the backward influence of Mercury retrograde, which could set the tone for some arguments and misunderstandings. More than anything, there’s likely to be a few heated conversations regarding money and a lot of pointing fingers. It’s going to be frustrating, Aries, but do your best to avoid the topic of it in general until things simmer down between the planets. If you are single, you are likely to have multiple opportunities for new love this month, but you may be unsure of which route to go.

Taking part in fun activities outside of the workplace may help you regain your footing and let off some steam to create a more positive mental state overall.

Fan of the dilly-dally? Our relationship game is on the starting block for this Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. It’s up to you to surrender to your true love nature to heal a sense of identity OR keep the mask on until the next eclipse season. Let the Nesters unite! You’re not alone, as our collective psyche as a species is going to have this axis eclipsed. Think war & peace, sport & rest, Mars & Venus, Aries & Libra.
What’s under review for this total solar eclipse? The potential balance of our true cardinal fire nature (Aries) coupled with our diplomatic and conditioned peace-at-all-costs (Libra) is up for an overhaul review (oh, is that all…). Why is it more pronounced for us this time around? Because the North Node of the Moon s currently transiting Aries and the collective has Pluto’s ingress to Aquarius supporting evolution at this time: freedom to be. Can’t put it any simpler!
