In this life, you’re learning to blaze trails and pioneer change. A recent podcast episode of Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast was titled, “You’re not crazy, you’re just first.” How many times in your life have you been the one to take a risk, embodying the courage to live outside your comfort zone? You’ve developed some immunity to criticism and learned to follow your own north star. This month’s astrology signifies a breakthrough in your relationships. The urge to be free competes with your desired commitments. The Libra Sun reminds you to prioritize balancing the two sensibilities, while fueling your Aries inner fire through creative collaboration. 

The Solar Eclipse on October 2 highlights a turning point in a partnership. You have a choice to make. While the relationship may be growing to new levels of connection, you may have reservations about next steps to take, especially with financial or home-related decisions. Mars shines in Cancer, softening your independent will and cooling your jets for a time. Consequently, you may notice more of a buildup of energy that needs a release. The eclipse asks you to let go and close a chapter, but without much insight about the new chapter unfolding. 

On October 13, Mercury enters Scorpio, helping answer questions about finances, taxes, or wealth-building. Mercury’s influence lets you prioritize organizing the details of all your economic affairs. This happens days before the Aries Full Moon on October 17. This lunation centers on your physical wellbeing, and you could be inclined to exercise, reduce stress, or tend to health-related concerns. 

Venus enters Sagittarius on the seventeenth as well, highlighting the fun side of romance. In this relationship-oriented season, this transit lets you find ways love can feel freer, which can help offset the intensity of the Sun in Scorpio (from October 22 – November 22).

As the Sun shines in Libra this month, your ruling planet, Venus, radiates peace, harmony, and balance. Bring beauty into all you do, including any menial tasks and chores. Libra's influence helps you connect with Venus, the planet of magnetic attraction. With this positive energy, you can inspire others and be uplifted in return. 

The Libra Solar Eclipse on October 2 kick-starts the month, asking you to let go of commitments that have outworn their usefulness. As a fixed sign, you may be reluctant to let others down, but six months from now, you’ll be glad you did when the March eclipses of 2025 remind you it’s hard to start something new when you’re holding on to too many old things. 

Pluto stations direct on October 11, and as it moves forward, it wraps up a cycle that started in 2008, leading to spiritual insights, intuitive hits, and revelations. The events that initiated these realizations may resurface around October 13, when Mars and the Sun challenge Chiron. If you've ever felt powerless or unworthy, remember that even heroes and heroines have their vulnerabilities. What's your kryptonite? Is it your partner's complaint? Your child's sadness? Your own aches and pains? Release all that renders you incapable of self-direction and courage. Instead, be aware of and communicate your deep needs without room for negotiation.

The Aries Full Moon on October 17 highlights creativity in quiet. The changing seasons can stir memories, allowing for times of personal reflection. It's not a time for pushing yourself into social outings you don't enjoy. Your time would be better spent nurturing and restoring your well-being.

The Full Moon spotlights ways to develop your social networks. Its light helps clarify your goals and assess what support systems you need to make them happen. You’re hyper-efficient, and you can run circles around most people in your world. If you don’t think others can do the job as well as you, give them a chance to prove you wrong. Proper delegation is an art, after all, and one you’re learning in this lifetime.
