I've always had mixed feelings about October. Though I love the cooler temps, crisp smells of autumn, and the glorious fall foliage, I have not cared for the increasing darkness and approach of winter. October is about harvest and Halloween, especially in the northern latitudes. Here in southern California, it is about the end of summer at the beach and the beginning of wildfire season. Fall is the last gasp of growth, Indian summer, the final color curtain.
Astrologically, this will be a rockin' October. On the 1st, we start the month with an explosive square bound to set the stage for when Mercury slides into retrograde on October 4th. Mercury retrograde in Libra for a month means we will see communication dotted with issues surrounding the status of relationships, fairness, and balance. The dots do not necessarily mean these are fun communications. The retrograde slips further into literal lunacy at the full moon lunar eclipse into Aries on October 8th. Get set for an ecliptic dominatrix visit of intense emotion, perpetrated schemes, and confabulation. During this eclipse, it is best to remember the best defense is a good offense.
At the end of the month the second solar eclipse will occur on October 23rd, with the new moon in Scorpio. With Scorpio there are no holds barred, meaning sex may take front and center stage. It is not that we have or act on seductive behavior; it is what is our intent behind our seduction that counts. Saturn is in Scorpio now, reminding us we will have consequences for all of our impulsive choices, especially the passionate ones which short circuits our ethical considerations.
Hold on, it's going to be a bumpy October. Happy Birthday Librans!
