October asks Pisces to think bigger before it asks you to feel your way through anything else. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on the 3rd, your 9th house of travel, belief and the wider view, and the Sun and Mercury both join her there later in the month.
Water signs trust what they feel over what they are told. This month gives you a lot to reconsider believing.
Venus stations retrograde on the 3rd in Scorpio, your 9th house of travel, belief and further study. A plan involving distance, or a belief you have held without questioning, comes up for honest review.
The New Moon lands in Libra on the 11th, your 8th house of shared resources and deep change. A new arrangement involving joint money or a genuine transformation has real staying power if it begins around this date.
Pluto turns direct on the 16th in Aquarius, your 12th house of rest, closure and the unseen, territory that is naturally close to home for you. Whatever has felt stuck beneath the surface starts moving again, quietly at first.
The Sun enters Scorpio on the 23rd, joining Venus in your 9th house. The bigger picture stays the theme for the rest of the month.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 24th, also in Scorpio and your 9th house. A conversation about belief, travel or further study may need revisiting before it settles. Hold off finalising travel plans if you can wait until November.
Let the 9th house’s questions stay open rather than forcing early answers, and trust Pluto’s quiet work in your 12th house even though you cannot see it directly yet. When the Full Moon lands in your 3rd house on the 26th, in Taurus, say out loud what this month has helped you understand. If you want to see exactly where these transits fall in your own chart rather than the general Pisces 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.
