The New Moon on the 11th lands exactly where it matters most to you: Libra, your 4th house of home and family. Of all this month’s events, this is the one written closest to home, literally.
Water signs feel a month before they can explain it. October gives you plenty to feel, most of it worth trusting.
Venus stations retrograde on the 3rd in Scorpio, your 5th house of romance and creative self-expression. A romantic matter or a creative project asks for reconsideration rather than a fresh start. Revisit rather than reinvent.
The New Moon lands in Libra on the 11th, directly in your 4th house of home and family, a house that is naturally yours to begin with. Something quietly new can begin at home around this date, a decision, a change, a repair, and it has real staying power.
Pluto turns direct on the 16th in Aquarius, your 8th house of shared resources and deep change. Whatever has felt stuck around joint finances or a transformation you did not choose starts moving again.
The Sun joins Venus in Scorpio on the 23rd, staying in your 5th house for the rest of the month. Creative and romantic matters keep the spotlight.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 24th, also in Scorpio and your 5th house. A creative project or a romantic conversation may need saying again, or saying differently, before it is properly heard. Do not force a final draft or a final answer in this window.
Trust the pull toward home that the 11th sets in motion, and let both retrogrades slow down anything romantic or creative rather than rushing it. When the Full Moon lands in your 11th house on the 26th, in Taurus, look to friends and wider circles for the support this month has quietly been building toward. If you want to see exactly where these transits fall in your own chart rather than the general Cancer picture, our sister site astromara.com runs a free natal chart on the same ephemeris used here.
Though all our readers love astrology, their working specialities are tarot and clairvoyance. They will not run your October transits, but they will read what is actually moving in your life right now. To see who is available and what they offer, the readers page is the place. If you want to understand what you are looking at once you have your chart, astromara’s Learn section walks through every sign, planet and house in plain language. Otherwise, see you under the next moon.
