October 1-3 will be eventful starting with the Sun/ Mercury cazimi which takes place at the time of the New Moon/Solar eclipse in Libra 10°03.  News, information and clarity can move us to cut ties with people we have depended on.  We can also bring an end to an agreement with a partner.  Making decisions that prioritize our own wellbeing can require that we end bad habits, toxic relationships or comfortable routines. Clearing out old ways to make time for new opportunities. 

On October 10th, Jupiter stations retrograde in Gemini  We may need to rethink decisions made since July 2024 concerning communications or travel. We will have more consideration for our own feelings and wellbeing.  Meditation can bring the answers we need.  Daily writing about yourself or daily journal entries can bring a new perspective. 

On October 12th, Pluto will station direct at the last degree of Capricorn before making its final exit on November 19th.  Pluto began its journey through Capricorn in November 2008. Since that time, Pluto has transformed areas of your life involving traditions, legacy, career, reputation, structure, foundations, leadership and order. Pluto will take 230 years to work its way back to Capricorn.

October 17th, Venus makes its entrance into Sagittarius as the full moon shines from 24°34’ of Aries. Completions and culminations concerning decisions made since April 2024 concerning  actions that involve healing, self improvement, independence and authenticity that began in April.  Making connections with those having similar views is possible.  Legal issues, higher education, cultural awareness and religion can have more importance now.  

October 22nd, Sun squares Pluto as it enters Scorpio.  This is the final square between the Sun and Pluto.  Lessons learned can leave scars.  The final straw.  Hidden enemies are revealed.  Obsessions turn sour.  Deep emotional purge. 

October 27th, Mars trine Neptune and Venus square Saturn.  As Mars makes its way through Cancer, we may have noticed more interaction with family or at home.  Disagreements may have taken place. The trine between Mars and Neptune is an easy energy that needs effort to give us an advantage.  Neptune in Pisces holds deep faith, fears, confusion, illusions, strength, sacrifice, compassion, intuition and creativity. The square between Venus and Saturn is the closing square of the conjunction that took place March 2024. Venus is exalted in Pisces, so the conjunction may have pushed you to make new boundaries or start better self care routines. This square may show us swift judgment or require that we speak up for ourselves.  We are learning what we can live with and what we can live without.
