From Libra to Scorpio, October 2025: Flow with Focus
Greetings Dear Astrology Lovers,
Happy birthday dear Libra and Scorpio Sun friends!
Breaking news: October brings relief!
We are out and through the eclipse season! We have held the light during the equinox! And if we are still breathing and able to smile, then all will be well!
Take a moment to reflect on the inner and outer tensions we may have been holding since the beginning of September. Even if things have been on an even keel, there has been an “energy” in the air. While there may be some volatility during October – a result of the tensions over the last two eclipses releasing – my sense is that for many of us, we can begin the month with a space in which to reflect – and atone as we see fit.
This is the month to get back into our routines and to savor the beauty within the ordinary moments of our day. Catch the light and find the joy —
Here’s to a positive October!
MINDFUL OCTOBER PLANNER
1st: The month begins with Mars strong and sure in Scorpio. Our action planet will remain here the entire month. If we need focused energy to accomplish something vital, we have it! Make it fruitful!
6th-7th: Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio and about 8 hours later we have a bold Full Moon at 14° Aries. With Mars ruling both the Moon and Mercury now, we need to adjust our flow. Do we perhaps need to take a moment in the middle of our day to relax, breathe, stretch? Check in, or release our tensions through a peaceful walk? Let’s be mindful, sense the planets within, and allow the way to be revealed. Some of us may wish to harness the intensity of Mercury square Pluto for profound mental work. This is the month of focused flow.
13th-16th: Pluto moves from retrograde to direct motion and Venus enters Libra, activating the 0° cardinal point where energies wish to come forward onto the world’s stage. This is a day for us to recalibrate. Let’s take it easy and intentionally create harmony over these days. As Venus is in opposition to Neptune, these could be days of glamor or delusion – may we choose to sprinkle our fairy dust in the right alchemical proportions! Hint: creative undertakings are favored now! Not an artist? Bake something divine or move through your yoga or tai chi focused flow.
20-21st: New Moon at 28° Libra, following on from the Mercury-Mars conjunction the day before. We have the potential now to reset any emotional buttons which may have been pushed during September’s two eclipses. Forgive and move on. Focus your energies where they are most appreciated. With a square building between Jupiter and Chiron all week, we can truly begin again and choose to live with truth and joy.
22nd: Neptune swims back into Pisces from Aries, allowing us to complete a spiritual journey begun in 2011. From late January 2026, a new path is waiting.
23rd: The Sun enters Scorpio and we build towards a water grand trine. A wonderful week ahead to contain and direct our emotional power towards a worthy project.
30th: Mercury flies into Sagittarius, forming an opposition with Uranus the Awakener. Brave new ideas abound – enjoy the flow! The only caution now is not to run off at the mouth or talk out of turn. With Venus still in diplomatic Libra, we will be helped.
October is a month where we can accomplish much if we put our will into it.
May the Sun shine upon you,
Catherine
“I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty.
You don’t grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house;
and so you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!
Kabir will tell you the truth: go wherever you like, to Calcutta or Tibet;
if you can’t find where your soul is hidden,
for you the world will never be real!”
–Kabir (c. 1398 – 1518): Ecstatic Poems, translated by Robert Bly
