They may have pulled you out of one timeline and into another, while the Virgo energy blatantly revealed you need to heal. After this harsh reality check, the Sun in Libra sweeps in to restore peace, as this season calls for beauty, symmetry and connection. It’s the midway point of the astrological year, where our focus moves from the self to our counterparts. Libra is the union of opposites, the space where dualities can coexist without canceling each other out. The masculine and feminine, the inner and outer, self and other, all held in one impressive outfit. While Libra is traditionally symbolised by the scales, Carrie Bradshaw might make a more fitting modern archetype. Slinking through the city in Manolos, forever wondering out loud about love, while remaining irritatingly indecisive. Superficial? Sometimes. Social climbing? Occasionally. But Libra redeems herself by remaining a hopeless romantic. Libra weighs her options, but is consistent about the importance of aesthetics and connection. Here, heartbreak is rewritten as art, fashion is reframed as philosophy, and sustenance is found in glittering social scenes. Libra wants romance to be visible, undeniable and dressed up for the world to see. This is the sign of curation, ambiance and external manifestation: where we attend the idyllic dinner party, progress from situationship to relationship, and find the apartment with good light. While the Sun in Libra prefers to keep things light and polite, conversations are vulnerable, messy and deep starting the first week of October. Mercury syncs up with Jupiter, Chiron and Pluto, and relational revelations are in store. Hidden feelings rise to the surface, and dialogue feels less casual and more like a reality show confessional. On the sixth, Mercury moves into Scorpio, favouring truth over pretenses. That same day, Full Moon in Aries exposes imbalances between independence and partnership, adding a confrontational, impulsive energy to the mix. Mean what you say, but don’t be mean when you say it. Venus moves into Libra on the 13th, softening our attitudes and restoring the peace. Cuffing season is in full swing, and suddenly, the idea of being alone is less appealing than basking in someone else’s company. Flattery, flirtation and fashion are top priority, as Venus dances through her home territory. Manifestations heighten during the New Moon on October 21, which is a favourable window for calling in love. It’s an opportunistic time for setting intentions for connections, as well as cultivating a life that pairs up with our romantic vision. The following day, Neptune, planet of soul-love, dreams and delusions, backtracks into Pisces, for the last and final time for over 150 years. It’s spooky and surreal, accompanied by the Sun’s ingress into Scorpio. We want to merge with others, making the end of the month feel murky and magical, just in time for Halloween. Our psychic senses are dialed all the way up, and passion precedes logic. The month concludes with Mercury moving into Sagittarius, accentuating our appetite for information. We are seeking answers to life’s big questions, occasionally misplacing our credit cards and keys in the process. Overall, October is equal parts romantic and revealing, reminding us of the importance of vulnerability – while wearing the right outfit. 1/12 You may like next 1/12 1/12 Illustration Gabrielle RosensteinARIES// ARIES RISINGYour entire year has been about truth. Sometimes uncomfortable, other times liberating. As the Sun moves into your sector of partnership this month, you are asked to own what you want, say it out loud, and know that honesty will always keep the right people close and set the rest free. Mars moves through Scorpio this month, adding an energy that feels intense, probing and impossible to fake. You’re pulled into situations that demand trust, depth and raw honesty. On the 6th, the Full Moon in Aries brings closures that catapult you forward. Power dynamics in relationships demand your attention, forcing you to draw clearer lines or reclaim your agency. Venus, the planet of relationships, smooths things over when it moves into Libra on the 13th. New characters enter your life, and luck can be found through your connections. If you’re calling in a companion, do it on the 21st, when the New Moon favours intention setting. October concludes with Neptune, planet of dreams, psychic phenomena and delusions, re-entering Pisces. This is occurring in your sector of the subconscious, encouraging you to confront intuitive intel you may have previously swept under the rug. Use this as an invitation to trust the unseen, surrender control and allow your psychic senses to guide your choices.

Finding balance is key, as Libra season illuminates your sector of health, routines and work, while the Full Moon in Aries reminds you of the importance of rest. Avoid burnout by saying no or setting boundaries wherever necessary. Conversations feel charged in the first half of the month, as patterns of people-pleasing give way to a paranormal word vomit, impacting everyone. Fights and fall-outs are smoothed over on the 13th, when Venus, your ruling planet, enters Libra. This shift reminds you of the importance of balance in your connections. You may begin to notice where reciprocity is missing. Perhaps you have been generous to a fault, caretaking your connections, or putting in more work than you have been receiving. Venus here helps you re-centre, restoring beauty, charm and a sense of mutual exchange. The end of the month amplifies your ability to attract partners who feel more like equals. Then Neptune retrogrades back into Pisces, adding a dreamy hue to your sector of friendships, community, and wishes. Magic can be found in the company of friends who feel like kindred spirits, as connections become softer and more intuitive.

October restores your cinematic vision of life, as if you are walking through your own rom-com montage. While your perception is attuned to the beauty in the world and creative inspiration strikes, the month is not without its plot twists. Conversations get crazy, as Mercury, your ruler, stirs tension with Jupiter, Chiron and Pluto during the first week of October. Light banter can slip into unwarranted confessions, secrets or texts that cannot be unsent. This energy reaches its peak during the Full Moon on the 6th, when social circles shift, friendships reach turning points, and you realise which alliances are authentic and which are just for show. Pleasure is still a priority in October, particularly when Venus joins the parade of planets in your sector of play, romance and manifestation on the 13th. Your magnetism is off the charts, and what you’ve been trying to attract begins to actualise. Stay flirty and fun, as you pull in the people and experiences that are a mirror of your energy. Then on the 22nd, Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces for the last time in your lifetime. While this energy may feel surreal, it stirs up the dismissed dreams you once set aside, particularly in your professional life. Visions you thought were too far-fetched or too fragile return for review, asking whether they deserve a second chance.

With Libra season illuminating your home and family sector, you may notice how relationship patterns inherited from family still play out in your closest bonds. The ways you were taught to love, to overgive, to retreat, to crave safety at all costs, echo through the connections you choose now. This month offers you the chance to become conscious of those patterns, to decide which ones to keep and which ones to dissolve, so that your partnerships reflect who you are becoming, not just where you came from. Tensions in the workplace may reach a breaking point on the 6th, when Mercury clashes with Pluto and the Full Moon in Aries lights up your professional path. A project could come to completion, a role may shift, or the imbalance between your private and public life may be exposed. This lunation asks you to name your ambitions without apology, while also recognising what you are no longer willing to sacrifice for success. Harmony is found within the home, particularly when Venus enters Libra on the 13th. You are encouraged to beautify your immediate surroundings and nurture familial relationships, while balancing your workload. On the 22nd, Neptune re-enters Pisces for the last time in your lifetime, helping you release detrimental beliefs that have quietly limited your ability to attract abundance. Old stories around worth, luck, or what you deserve may dissolve, leaving space for a softer and more expansive faith in what is possible. Remember, Jupiter is in your sign this year, and what you believe has more power than usual.

Heartfelt omissions feel impossible to contain, and what you have been holding back slips into conversation almost by accident. October makes your words magnetic, magical and revealing. Secrets surface, truths spill out, and what you say has the power to shift dynamics around you. Self-restraint is advised, especially around the 6th, when the Full Moon in Aries amplifies your opinions. When Venus enters Libra on the 13th, your thoughts and words feel supernatural. What you speak out loud, write down, or even daydream about seems to find its way back to you (particularly on the 21st), and conversations carry a kind of enchantment. This dream-like energy is enhanced by Neptune’s return to Pisces on the 22nd. Moving through your sector of intimacy, Neptune dissolves boundaries and heightens your sensitivity to the unseen currents in your closest bonds. This is a final invitation to trust your intuition, embrace vulnerability and pick partners who speak to your soul.

The pace slows just enough for you to catch your breath and take stock of what has shifted. Libra season draws your attention to how you spend your time, money and energy, helping you cultivate beauty and balance. The way you perceive yourself directly impacts your ability to attract abundance. If you undervalue your gifts, the world mirrors that back. When you stand fully in your worth, doors open and resources flow with greater ease. October asks you to notice the stories you carry about money, security and self-esteem, and to decide which ones to release so you can call in more aligned opportunities. Relationship matters come into focus on the 6th and the 22nd. First, the Full Moon in Aries pushes you to get honest about your intimacy patterns, to name what you want, and to stop pouring energy into connections that take without giving back. Then, on the 22nd, Neptune retrograde slides back into Pisces for its last run in your partnership sector. The energy is dreamy but also deceptive, blurring lines and tempting you to fall for potential instead of reality. Old lovers, unfinished stories, or illusions about commitment may reappear, daring you to see them clearly this time.

The Sun moves through your sign like a spotlight, reminding you that everything begins with how you carry yourself. Use the New Moon in Libra on the 21st to set intentions around identity, love and the life you want to curate. During the first week of October, Mercury is in Libra, and your instinct is to flirt, keeping the conversation light and the mood balanced. Then, Mercury clashes with the outer planets, commanding something deeper. Vulnerability, honesty and emotional truth break through the surface, no matter how hard you try to gloss them over. This energy peaks on the 6th, when the Full Moon in Aries exposes the ways you express, receive and assert your needs in relationships. This lunation is a moment of harsh clarity: are you compromising too much, or are you finally ready to speak up for your desires? On the 22nd, Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces for the last time in your lifetime, and a surreal sense of unreality takes hold. While this energy bodes well for revisiting creative projects or reconnecting with forgotten dreams, you may also feel your energy drifting, your focus dissolving into daydreams. Pay attention to what inspires you, but be wary of slipping into escapism.

Dreams, instincts and intuitions take on a sharper edge, showing you where your innermost beliefs shape your outer reality. The Sun in Libra accentuates this inward focus, offering a chance to set intentions around healing, rest and spiritual renewal. While October’s focus is mainly spiritual, Mars is in your sign, asking you to execute your ideas. This steadfast energy sharpens your focus and fuels your drive, making it easier to pair vision with action. This energy can also feel combative, particularly during the first week of the month, when Mercury clashes with Pluto, and the Full Moon in Aries accelerates conflict. Pressure builds in your daily routines, work or health, revealing imbalances in the systems that support you. Venus enters Libra on the 13th, adding a spiritual dimension to your relationships. You may feel more drawn to art, visualisation or connections that transcend the ordinary. On the 22nd, your season begins, and Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces for the last time in your lifetime. Neptune is adding a dream-like quality to your sector of romance, creativity and play. Be wary of escapism, self-sabotage and the lure of romantic delusions that promise more than they deliver. This energy can blur boundaries, leaving you vulnerable to old habits or fantasies that drain you.

While the Sun and Mercury in Libra prefer to keep things light and polite, the party atmosphere is disrupted by the outer planets during the first week of October. Charming conversations can veer into vulnerable confessions, exposing truths that shift your social life. A lover of truth in all your dealings, you may feel like the harbinger this month – the one who says what others are too afraid to name. Honesty tumbles out of you, sometimes gracefully, other times like fire that can’t be contained. Either way, your words clear the air, forcing others to see what has been hiding in plain sight. When Venus enters Libra on the 13th, friends, coworkers and new faces flow into your orbit with ease, and the connections you form now may become important artistic collaborators. The New Moon in Libra on the 21st amplifies this momentum, offering a reset in your community sector and encouraging you to call in the networks that support your vision. This is a moment to align yourself with fellow seekers who share your mission. Playtime ends on the 22nd, when the planets shift the focus to your work-home balance. As Neptune has its final retrograde back into Pisces, inherited beliefs about success are dissolved. The illusions, stories and patterns you have carried down from your family are energetically alleviated, as you release energy that no longer belongs to you.

You are turning heads, catching attention and getting recognition in spaces that matter. The first week of October, Mercury clashes with Jupiter, Chiron and Pluto, making conversations feel charged. This energy is followed by the Full Moon in Aries on the 6th, which asks you to step back and replenish your energy, finding balance between work and home. Career demands may feel heavy, but this lunation reminds you that your personal needs matter just as much as your ambitions. When Venus enters Libra on the 13th, recognition or support flows in, and you feel seen for the work you’ve been doing. Venus makes it easier to attract the right people and opportunities, helping with your professional manifestations. If you have any new goals in mind, jot them down on the 21st, when the New Moon in Libra opens a new chapter in your career. On the 22nd, Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces for the final time in your lifetime. Thinking takes on a dreamlike quality. You are intuitive and imaginative, encouraged to lead with your instincts, without wallowing in the past.

On the 22nd, Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces for the final time in your lifetime, dissolving old beliefs around money and worth. Avoid slipping into old patterns of escapism or doubt. Instead, build a concrete vision for your finances. Dream big, but execute harder.

October continues to turn your focus towards intimacy and the places where you merge with others. Power dynamics may surface, and you are asked to look closely at trust, boundaries and the unspoken energy exchanges playing out in your closest bonds. The first week of October may require you to have vulnerable conversations, revealing truths you may have avoided. By the 13th, when Venus enters Libra, intimacy softens and support arrives more easily. Collaborations flow, trust deepens, and you may feel relief where there was once tension. The New Moon on the 21st gives you a clean slate in your relationships: set intentions for healthier patterns in love, sex and emotional exchange. On the 22nd, Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces for the last time in your lifetime, amplifying your intuition and dissolving the old identities you have outgrown. Lead with your instincts, but do not wallow in the past. This is your chance to release illusions and embody the clearer, truer version of yourself you’ve been moving toward.
