The month of October opens with a square aspect between Mercury and Jupiter, emotions can cloud reason. Excessive emotivity or subjectivity can damage relationships, both personally and, on the social level, diplomatic and international.

Mercury is restless and active, visiting two signs: Scorpio and Sagittarius. In the first of these, it will spend almost the entire month, and there it can develop its deepest and most investigative facet, seeking to get to the bottom of matters, and facing shadow and corruption. In Sagittarius it becomes more idealistic, positive and hopeful but less practical, with a tendency to exaggerate and to promise lightly what cannot be fulfilled. From the 24th it will form favorable aspects with the slow-moving planets, facilitating the integration and assimilation of the dizzying changes the world is witnessing.

Venus, will enter on the 13th in its domicile in Libra to form a beautiful cosmic comet with the slow planets. The opposition to Saturn and Neptune requires being realistic in agreements to avoid disappointment, but avoiding rigidity and adopting a stance open to novelty. Mars from its domicile in Scorpio at the end of the month will close a grand water trine with the social planets, which promotes regenerating action and favors deep and structural reforms.

On the 22nd Neptune re-enters Pisces to give its last gasps regarding the dissolution of boundaries, and it is also a great opportunity for spiritual elevation and consciousness, and to connect deeply with the most intimate part of our being. The Sun enters Scorpio on the 23rd and squares Pluto, giving rise to abuses and power struggles, personal will clashes with the group, with the collective, with external forces seeking to impose themselves.

The October Full Moon will be on the 7th in the sign Aries, which encourages action while valuing others’ contributions, without surrendering one’s own independence, but taking others into account. The New Moon in Libra brings us the opportunity to start new relationships, to bridge gaps and bring closer postures with others.

Expand your mental and life horizons!

PISCES
