Under this opposition, there may be a lack of harmony in terms of romance. Stress or other outside factors may affect our relationships. We have a tendency to speak without thinking about how our words can affect our loved ones. The keyword during this transit is “empathy.” Stop to consider what your significant other may be going through before saying or doing something that may inadvertently hurt them.

October 8th
Pluto Stations Direct
Pluto governs our ability to summon our own inner power and primal energy. While it was in retrograde, we may have felt like we had to keep our deepest desires and fears hidden. But now that it is moving direct, we feel empowered to go after the things that we truly want and confront the things that frighten us. It is also the perfect time to look within and examine some of the darker parts of ourselves. There may be some things that we have kept hidden from the outside world, but now is the time to consider bringing them out into the light. The time for self-reinvention is now.
October 10th
Mercury Moves Into Libra
Under this transit, we seek to communicate with others in more harmonious ways. Mercury rules our communication and when it resides in Libra, we are diplomatic with our words.

You may inspire others with your art and words.

October 12th
Mercury Is Opposite Jupiter
Under this opposition, we can be unreliable. We have a tendency to choose ideology over reality. We do not intend to let others down, we are just stuck in our own minds. But while we are stuck in our heads, our heads are stuck in the clouds. The clouds of Jupiter to be exact. We are very interested in philosophical and occult literature. We may become so fixated on these studies that we neglect our real-world commitments.

October 19th

October 23rd
Venus Is In Scorpio
Venus rules our romantic inclinations as well as our aesthetic tastes, so when it occupies a sensual Scorpio, you know we are in for a fun ride. Our passions ignite under this transit. We feel highly sexual and we may lack self-control. It is okay to let your freak flag fly, but try not to do anything you’ll regret.

October 27th
Mercury Is Square Pluto at 5:18 AM
Believe it or not, there is a lot of balance in this square.
Of course, a square-off between belligerent Libra and disdainful Capricorn may bring out our more arrogant tendencies. However, the expressive and strong-willed energy of Mercury and Mars endows us with wonderful leadership qualities. Just be careful not to stroke your own ego too much. That is how mistakes happen
Jupiter Is In Pisces
Jupiter rules our fortune and philosophical views, and when it is in Pisces, our interest in art, science, and the paranormal increases tenfold. We may feel quite solitary at this time, but that’s okay because we will enjoy our own company. Now is the time to meditate and hone any clairvoyant powers we may have.
October 29th
Mercury Is In Scorpio
As I said earlier, Mercury rules our communication, and when it is in Scorpio, our thoughts and words are sharp. We are able to glean secrets from people easily. Trust your intuition at this time.
October 30th
Mars In Retrograde
Mars rules our passion and willpower. And when it stations retrograde, we may lose our motivation. But this doesn’t have to be a bad thing. This retrograde can remind us that we do not need to be “on” all of the time. Now may be the perfect time for some rest and relaxation.
