October 2016 Monthly Horoscope

NEW! October 2017 Horoscope

Mercury Watch

Mercury begins October moving in a forward direction and still at a good clip, but you’ll want to aim to finish bigger projects within October’s first two weeks because Mercury will turn retrograde at the end of the month. What to do? Plan how you’ll use this Mercury retrograde period before it hits, so you won’t be caught unawares. Where in your life could you use a retrospective view and perhaps a little cleanup? Begin winding things down by October 23 while Mercury slows, preparing to turn retrograde on October 30. Mercury in Virgo suggests that your closets could use some reorganization. Here’s more about Mercury Retrograde.

 

Lunations

Each lunation (new or full moon) has a feeling-state that human beings will be prone to under it, a general mood.

New Moon in 10º Leo: Tuesday, October 2, 2016

October’s New Moon in Leo is enjoying a trine to Saturn in Sagittarius but dealing with a quincunx to Neptune. This Moon has a self-organizing feel, but is easily thrown off by chaos that seems to come from left field. There’s a tendency to embrace rigid ideas and philosophies that bring comfort and stave off the need for change, but these philosophies don’t account for everything. When someone crosses a line, the whole structure comes tumbling down. Do you adhere to the philosophy or respond with compassion to the person? The question really is, what do you habitually do with guilt?

Full Moon in 25º Aquarius: Thursday, October 18, 2016

During October’s Full Moon, the Sun is aligned with impulsive, reactive Uranus in Aries while the Moon confabs with cool, strategic Pallas Athene in Aquarius. There’s a duality here between thought and action, between fear of pulling the trigger and leaping before you look. One side may be hot-headed and self-absorbed, grandstanding for attention—while the other takes a more objective view, arguing that a wider, more social agenda must be honored. It is the classical argument between the needs of one and the needs of many. But why go to extremes? Balance the two in considered, self-aware action with solid reason behind it, taking the needs of all into account—the results will be much better.

October’s Full Moon is sometimes called the Red Moon for its ruddy color on the horizon in this season.
