Your own ruling planet turns retrograde this month, and by the 25th she drifts back into your own sign, Libra. Few Octobers put this much of the spotlight directly on you.
Air signs think their way through change. This one asks you to feel your way through some of it instead.
Venus, your ruling planet, stations retrograde in Scorpio on the 3rd, your 2nd house of money and personal value. What you charge, what you are worth and what you actually want to keep all come up for honest review.
The New Moon lands in your own sign, Libra, on the 11th, your 1st house. A New Moon in your own sign is a genuine fresh start, not a general one borrowed from somewhere else in the chart. Set an intention here deliberately; this one is yours.
Pluto turns direct on the 16th in Aquarius, your 5th house of creativity and romance, after months retrograde there. A creative project or a romantic matter that has felt stuck starts moving again.
The Sun enters Scorpio on the 23rd, joining Venus in your 2nd house. Money and personal value stay the theme for the rest of the month.
Venus, still retrograde, drifts back into Libra on the 25th, your own 1st house. She left this territory weeks ago moving forward; now she revisits it in reverse. Whatever the New Moon on the 11th started, expect a chance to reconsider or refine it before November, this time with your own ruler standing directly behind you.
Trust the fresh start the 11th hands you, and let Venus’s return to your own sign finish what she came back to finish. When the Full Moon lands in your 8th house on the 26th, in Taurus, a shared financial or emotional matter reaches its natural conclusion. If you want to see exactly where these transits fall in your own chart rather than the general Libra 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.
One date to keep in view: Mercury turns retrograde on the 24th, in Scorpio and your 2nd house of money and what you value, until 13 November. Follow it on Astromara’s live Mercury retrograde tracker.
