Major astrological dates in October and what they mean for you

There are plenty of astrological transits and events happening this October.

Lining up your tasks, priorities and to-do list with the relevant cosmic energy influences is a short-cut to getting a quick and easy boost.

Do the right thing on the right day and you might find it goes a little better than you thought.

Here are the key dates for your diary, and what they mean for you.

October 2 – Mercury turns direct (after a retrograde)

Big sigh of relief all around, the retrograde is over. So, you can expect the communication, travel and technical gremlins you’ve encountered recently to subside.

Time to invest in pitching your ideas, communicating effectively, making big travel plans, and getting down to business again. Normal service is resumed.

October 9 – Full Moon in Aries

Reflect on your ambitions and passions in the year just gone. Where has most of your energy focused, and does this align with the things that most move and enliven you? If not, maybe it’s time to make a new commitment to your true ideals and priorities.

October 10– Mercury moves into Libra

This is a great time to have conversations which require diplomacy and tact. Landing difficult messages well, with the right words and the appropriate tone.

It can be tricky to say tough things nicely, but this astro transit will bring you the perfect vocabulary and timing.

October 23 – Venus moves into Scorpio

Sexy time! Seriously, this is an astro transit that screams ‘sexual chemistry’. Expect to have deep and meaningful encounters with irresistible people, and, if you’re happily attached, then unleash your wildest fantasies- they will be met with enthusiasm.

October 25 – New Moon in Scorpio

Let what is hidden or suppressed out to play. Release your innermost desires and pursue them.

Why fake it? Why pretend? Be your authentic self, through and through, and let that version of you drive the bus.

October 30 – Mars turns retrograde

Mars is a planetary influence all about ambition, passion and desire – the energy and will to pursue what you most want in life.

When Mars goes retrograde that energy can fade and wane a little, making you feel a bit unfocused and unsure what you really want.

Don’t make any major, life-changing decisions right now, at least until you’ve figured out how you TRULY feel.

October 31 – Samhain

The pagan festival which revolves around the idea that the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is now at its thinnest.

This is a time to read your tarot or oracle cards, seek a psychic, visit a medium, hold a séance, charge your crystals, and generally see what lies beneath the veneer of everyday life.
