October 2025 Astrology

October 2025 continues the theme of reflection, and at times this may feel a little heavy. The focus is on what we think, what we say, and how we truly feel. Together, these areas are urging change. With several planets still retrograde, Mercury entering its retroshade, and Neptune briefly sliding back into Pisces, October emphasizes the value of slowing down. It’s a month for looking inward, sorting through what has been rising to the surface, and trusting that this pause has a purpose.

October 1 – Mercury 22° Libra square Jupiter 22° Cancer

Theme: Finding the line between curious and overwhelmed. 

Everyday Life: You may find yourself reading five articles when one would do, endlessly scrolling social media, or overexplaining your point in a meeting. Catch yourself before you blow up a small issue. It’s ok to pause and take a breath. 

October 3 – Mercury 25° Libra opposes Chiron retrograde 25° Aries

Theme: Shedding outdated thoughts and choosing growth. 

Everyday Life: You might notice yourself replaying an old argument in your head, realizing how your thinking has changed. Maybe you journal about something that used to hurt but now feels like wisdom. You could have a conversation that helps you release an old belief—like finally forgiving yourself for a past mistake or breaking a mental loop that kept you stuck.

October 6 – Mercury enters Scorpio (through Oct. 29)

Theme: Speaking with depth and seeing beneath the surface.

Everyday Life: You might be drawn to watch a true crime doc, dive into therapy, research family history, or ask probing questions you’d usually avoid. A text conversation may suddenly turn intimate or revealing. Perfect time for journaling, detective work, or digging into personal transformation.

Full Moon at 14° Aries

Theme: A surge of clarity invites bold but mindful action.

Everyday Life: You could wake up in the middle of the night with a sudden realization. Someone might call you out—or you call yourself out—and it feels like a turning point. Emotions can be big, so you may need to hit the gym, go for a walk, or do breathwork to release the energy before making decisions.

October 7 – Mercury 1° Scorpio square Pluto 1° Aquarius

Theme: Intensity heightens—pause before you react. 

Everyday Life: A tense text thread could escalate quickly. You might sense that something isn’t being said outright. It’s not a great day to manage important communications and decisions. Pause before hitting send. Go for a walk, breathe, and revisit the topic tomorrow.

October 8 – Venus 23° Virgo sextile Jupiter 23° Cancer

Theme: Sweet rewards, if you can keep from eating the whole box of chocolates. 

Everyday Life: This might look like splurging on fancy coffee, finding the perfect outfit on sale, or getting unexpected compliments. There could be a temptation to overspend or overindulge. Enjoy small luxuries—like a nice meal with friends—rather than booking a huge trip on impulse.

October 11 – Venus 26° Virgo opposes Saturn retrograde 26° Pisces

Theme: Facing the truth about love, money, and limits. 

Everyday Life: You might notice where a friendship feels one-sided or where spending has gotten out of control. A conversation about boundaries may come up in your relationship. Or you could make a responsible financial choice—like saying no to a purchase or committing to a budget.

October 13 – Venus enters Libra (through Nov. 6)

Theme: A season of harmony, connection, and beauty. Everyday Life: You might feel inspired to refresh your wardrobe, host a dinner party, or spend more time with friends..
