Scorpio, you’re in a more private mood than normal as we finish up Libra season. This is a heavy time for introspection, closing out cycles, and making peace with the past. You’re catching up on rest, and you need it because your season is around the corner! Once Scorpio season kicks off, you are the main character! But first, on October 4, Mercury enters Libra, bringing a wave of intuitive downloads. Your dreams and waking life may be full of symbolism and messages. Spending time in solitude can lead to breakthroughs. Your intuition gets a major boost—so listen to it!
It’s easy to focus on your fears on October 8 when Mars in Libra rams into Pluto in Capricorn. Overthinking and playing out worst-case scenarios can plague your mind today. If you find yourself being your own worst enemy, rather than beat yourself up over it, reflect on why. This can be a powerful day for transformation and releasing outdated beliefs, thought patterns, and bad habits. You may also be overdoing it today—if possible, try not to over-schedule yourself. Luckily, on the same day, Venus, the planet of love and finances, enters Virgo. This can be a wonderful day to connect with friends and focus on where you feel a deep sense of belonging. Over the next few weeks, singles may meet someone with potential through a friend or a group event, and couples can spend more time socializing together with friends.
Mars, the planet of action and drive, enters your sign on October 11, lending you the willpower and determination to see through anything that you put your mind to. You may also be more focused on your physical being—experimenting with your sense of style, trying out a new exercise routine, or changing up your makeup. Your focus is on yourself and your personal goals; use this momentum to your advantage. Just a head’s up: Mars is a planet of accidents, so try to move through the world a little more smoothly to avoid any annoying bruises along the way.
A New Moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 14 reveals hidden information and invites you to re-establish a healthy relationship with rest. This is the first solar eclipse in Libra since October 2004. If there is a habit or behavior you’ve been wanting to release, this is an aligned time to make peace with the past and clear out baggage to make room for a fresh start and new opportunities.

October 21 is a delicious day for romance and connection when Venus in Virgo mingles with Jupiter in Taurus. Discussions of the future in your important relationships can take place.

The Sun enters your sign on October 23, bringing recognition and attention your way. It's finally Scorpio season! Your magnetism is magnetic. The next few weeks may be more productive than you’ve been in a while. Enjoy it! A Full Moon lunar eclipse in Taurus on October 28 marks the final chapter in an eclipse story that started in November 2021. This brings a major culmination point to your one-on-one relationships. Couples on solid ground may be taking exciting next steps together, while others may receive the clarity they’ve been seeking about whether or not their union is meant to be. If romance isn’t top priority, this eclipse can coincide with wrapping up a major work assignment or collaborative project. It’s possible that people are entering or exiting your life around this time, and it may feel fated. This is the final lunar eclipse in Taurus that we will experience until 2031 and it will also bring up themes from November 8, 2022—the last time we had a lunar eclipse in this sign.
You’re making a decisive yet important decision for yourself on October 29 when Mercury and Mars, both in your sign, sync up at the same point in the sky. You’re ready to commit to a new personal goal and you have the determination to see it through to completion. Setting boundaries in your personal life and relationships may also be a theme. The month ends on October 31 when Venus in Virgo shares a sweet kiss with Uranus in Taurus. You may hear from someone surprising out of the blue—possibly even someone of influence. Unexpected contracts may also arrive. And when it comes to your partnerships, you’re able to reach solutions when you work together.
