You’ve got LOADS of energy in October, and your unstoppable force meets an immovable object at the beginning of the month. The collective energy is creating friction against your dating life around October 3rd. The group chat may be highly critical of the new beau. Your creative projects may be getting some push-back from the audience (the cosmic comment section is bitchy). Your 8th house will be seeing a lot of planetary poking in October – for those coupled up this could mean some conversations around shared bank finances and all those tender things that link you together. Deep stuff, more than necessary but can be a land mine for those who aren’t ready to be vulnerable. By the end of the month the Full Moon in Taurus could have you flipping tables around how much you are getting paid, how much you are paying in a relationship – romantic or otherwise – and what that price tag means to you.

Look out for exes on the horizon this month. Venus retrograde in Scorpio (and later on, Mercury retrograde, too. Oh, FFS!!) will be hitting you the most – your Scorpio is your sister sign and sets a tone over your relationships. There will be the energy of going back and looking at receipts, and things may even be seen or felt in a better light than before (maybe – or more clearly as a clusterfuck dumpster fire). This energy will reach full capacity on the Full Moon on October 26th in Taurus. Not just exes will be resurfacing – old business collabs, frenemies, enmeshed ex-friends – are up for mental and emotional rear-view reflecting. Significant relationships in work are especially likely to come up, as your career and public reputation are also being activated. This month is coming in hot and old entanglements/fuck buddies/soulmates/partners-in-crime and loose ends are up for review, but not for naught: the 23rd marks a new chapter for serious relationships that will last 8 years.

You have got a lot to say this month, which is normal for you, but take extra care because you may be coming off as a flaming cunt. It’s Mars in your third house, not your fault bb. But nevertheless, pause before you hit send. Your work pace may be off the charts as your routines, work environment and productivity are all under review with Venus and Mercury retrograde in your house of work and routine. Time to look through your 100s of open tabs, reconsider starting up that optimization routine, actually decide what to do with that unused gym membership. This may feel like a sprint to the finish line type of month, a lot of all-work-no-play energy that’ll get you organized and on your A-game.

You’ve been a powerhouse since August, that energy continues well into October. You’ve had more stamina to get things done, and this energy has been turned towards domestic affairs. You’ll be going from Martha Stewart Domestic Blisstress to Xena Warrior Princess. Things have chilled out at home and you are in your element, and now you’re back in the swing of financial and career pursuits. The Full Moon at the end of the month will be all about your career and reputation – are you proud? Feeling like you aren’t where you want to be? Expect to feel some sort of way.

Leo is FEISTY this month, and you’ve got stamina for days. You are in flow, inspired, on fire, but you may be catching some unexpected saltiness from someone closest to you. You may be getting some blow back on your fire, but don’t sweat it. There’s some sparkle of transformation in that friction since transformative Pluto is in the mix. You’ve been expanding and rising up into something since summer and October has a bit of a speed bump to make sure you don’t let old shit that needs to go grow with you into your next level. All the important stuff is going to have a bit of a test and reset moment – your relationships, your career, your home. It’s like, are you good with this? All ready to go turbo with the current state of your affairs? Expect that vibe to peak around the Full Moon in Taurus on the 26th. This isn’t a punishment, this is a system check before you blast off.

Things are boiling under the surface. You may have been feeling like you’re half in a dream. For an earth sign, this can feel a little weird but warrior Mars and expansive Jupiter are both in your realm of dreams, unconscious, hidden enemies, spirituality, and all types of ephemeral and ethereal stuff. You may not see it, but you’ll feel it. On the surface, some sort of communication or writing will come to the forefront around the 7th. Your musings and nocturnal stirrings may start finding form around the middle of the month – an intuition may turn into something real, a spiritual inspiration may fuel a concrete action towards something that will bring your life more depth. The behind-the-scenes work real structural support — something you've been doing quietly is getting its foundations laid properly. Your work life, how you communicate, and the beliefs that fuel both are going to have a review and reset by the end of the month’s full moon in Taurus. Quiet stirrings of a new inner landscape taking form, let things unfold.

Birthday season is still underway, and you have another chance to make a wish on October 10th. The new moon in Libra is ripe for manifestation and all that jazz. New Moon, new you. A lot of retrogrades will be affecting your sense of self worth and finances in October, so you may be manifesting freedom from credit card debt. A refund could be coming in the mail. It can go both ways: there is an old financial situation returning for resolution. You’re ruled by Venus, and as your ruling planet goes retrograde in Scorpio the “self worth” part of the equation can feel particularly important. Just remember your true value is beyond what someone is willing to pay, or what number is in a bank account. But by all means, get that bag, Diva. This will all be coming to some sort of phoenix rising moment on the 23rd. You may not feel it immediately, but a new era of self worth - what you feel you are deserving of - is starting that’ll last for 8 years.

You’re going to be extra magnetic this month, Scorpio. People will be drawn to you, and doing double takes. Not only is your season starting, Venus and Mercury are going retrograde in Scorpio – meaning a double whammy of that “your ex from the past” energy is in the air. Or maybe you’re the ex from the past? Or both! With your first house being lit up, how you are perceived may also be up for review. Mark your calendar on October 23, Venus reaches a cazimi in Scorpio and this will be a rebirth for you in terms of your relationship with yourself. Others may think you're a damn sexy bitch, but do you? You may also be feeling some strain between your career and your home life. Can Scorpio really have it all? That question may come up (maybe the answer is ‘yes, duh!’) and have you figuring out what you actually want to move forward with. The Full Moon in Taurus will light up your close, long term relationships and with Venus in opposition, you may be feeling yourself more than you’re feeling the idea of another person. As the Scorpio Rupaul says, If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else??

You’re all in your wise-guru-wanderer element these days, aren’t you? You’re going to Eat-Pray-Love your way through October, and I don’t say this sarcastically. Write, travel, cacao ceremony your way to bliss to your heart’s content, Sag! One thing though, a secret lover could be making a comeback. Like, secret secret. OR you will find your old erotic slash fanfiction from 8 years ago on in your old gmail account. Something along those lines, probably what you didn’t want to announce from the rooftops when it was going. Whether this comes up literally, or you are spending hours ruminating about a clandestine love affair, some sort of hidden, deep and possibly kinky theme will be making a return. Whether you want it to see the light of day, that’s for you to decide.

October brings themes of sex, money, power and your personal legacy. Everything that makes a Capricorn tick. The New Moon on the 10th is the most powerful career intention-setting moment of the month for you. Recalibrate your long term career goals and set your intentions. World domination? Go for it, girly pop. Tons of fast action and fortune is in store of your deepest depths: your sex life, your intimate physical and financial entanglements…these tend to be a dramatic aspect of your life, and expect more of that this month. Phoenix mode, activate! Expect intense conversations, in both your private life and social sphere, which will lead into the Full Moon in Taurus that will see your love life and power dynamics come to a head. Like I said, sex, money, power, legacy – all make their appearance in the plot this month.

You’ve been going through changes, Aquarius. A long term, deep personal transformation that’s been going on for a while now. In October, people notice your changes and this may cause some tension in a close relationship. You’re changing, but are your closest people ready for it? I’m not talking about your penchant for being a lil weirdo… this is a deeper shift that only your nearest and dearest perceive. You’re starting to see it too, in the middle of the month Pluto goes direct Aquarius and the internal transformation goes public. Your professional world may also come under some pressure – conversations and clarifications with partners and colleagues will need to happen throughout the month. Your long term career goals by the end of the month may be clearer, and the road ahead to them smoother. The Full Moon may be a moment of refuge in your domestic realm, cozy but somewhat at odds with the phrenetic energy in your work life, relationships, and evolving identity. If mom invites you home to chill, take the invite – you need it.

Things will start easing up for you, Pisces. October continues the lets-get-down-to-business energy that has been stalking you for a while: your financial and self-worth. Are limiting beliefs holding you back at work, at optimizing your life? Are hidden power dynamics or influences at play in your job? If you have a work enemy, that bitch is going to show themselves in October. You may also get hit up by some long-distance vacation lovers in October, especially on or after the 7th. Your dreamy sense of spirituality and wanderlust will be revitalized and renewed this month - inner and outer journeys and beliefs are going to be entering a new stage that will last 8 years. The Full Moon in Taurus on the 26th can bring in communication that reveals deeper truths, like presenting a thread to pull on to lead to a revelation. Pay attention and prepare to delve deep.
