Monthly Astrology Transits for October 2020

October 1, 2020

Full Moon in Aries

  

The Aries Full Moon is traditionally a time for emotions to drive us to act. We can be fueled by instincts, and motivated by unconscious desires.

  This Aries Full Moon is a little tricky because the natural ruling planet for Aries is Mars, and Mars is retrograde in this sign for this Full Moon. This can mean that actions are focused on second chances and do-overs. It also means emotional energy is much higher, and we need to keep ourselves busy to use it up.

Venus Enters Virgo

  

Venus, the planet of love, moves into Virgo, and love becomes more practical. Small gestures can make a big difference in showing just how much you care with your loved ones.

  This can also be a good period for getting organized and making lists since Virgo loves structure and order. This sign also wants to focus on smaller projects, so break big ones down into smaller ones.

  This transit lasts until October 27th, 2020.

October 4, 2020

Pluto Direct in Capricorn

  

Pluto retrograde began in April in Capricorn, and this has been a period of adjusting to massive transformations of the status quo, and getting clear on the direction we’re going in.

  With Pluto moving forward again, we can get back to working on new transformations and can dig deeper below the surface to make them strong and lasting.

  

October 7, 2020

Mercury (Scorpio) opposite Uranus (Taurus)

The Mercury (Scorpio) opposite Uranus (Taurus) aspect can speed up mental energy, and we may find it difficult to get focused. Brilliant flashes of insight can come quickly, but we may have a hard time knowing what to do with it.

  Think before you speak, and take time to listen to what others have to say. Be respectful in your communication, and keep track of your ideas before you forget about them.

  

October 9, 2020

Mars (Aries) square Pluto (Capricorn)

Mars (Aries) square Pluto (Capricorn) can bring out a lot of frustrated energy, and any anger, annoyances, and rage you’ve got bottled up can burst through to the surface. This can lead to accidents, injuries, and headaches.

  Try to use the energy in a productive way. There’s an excess of energy, so put it to good use, and make sure you’re keeping both your mind and body busy. Have healthy outlets for stress too.

  

October 10, 2020

Venus (Virgo) trine Uranus (Taurus)

  

Venus (Virgo) trine Uranus (Taurus) puts the planet of love with the planet of change at a beneficial angle. Open up to new people, and make acquaintances with those you’d normally never think you could connect with. This can be a great aspect to broaden your social circle.

  In relationships, take a different approach to solve issues, and have a positive attitude about experimentation to make the boring more fun with this trine.

  

October 11, 2020

Sun (Libra) square Jupiter (Capricorn)

  

Sun (Libra) square Jupiter (Capricorn) can bring out laziness and excess. All of us may prefer to sleep it and overdo it with the chocolate! That may not kill you for one day, but try not to make a habit of it.

  We can feel really good under this aspect, so we do have to be careful about pushing our luck. If you can use the energy to help inspire you without going too far, this can be highly beneficial.

Jupiter (Capricorn) sextile Neptune (Pisces)Mercury (Scorpio) sextile Venus (Virgo)Two pleasant aspects this day! With Jupiter sextile Neptune, this has been going on throughout 2020, and this is the final time the aspect is exact. It’s a great time for creativity, and this aspect promotes growth and harmony.

  Mercury sextile Venus helps us find the right ways of communicating and expressing ourselves while also respecting what others have to say. This is also a creative aspect, so this day can be fabulous for creative projects and ventures. Go pursue some!

  

October 13, 2020

Sun (Libra) opposite Mars (Aries)Mercury goes retrograde in ScorpioThe final Mercury retrograde for 2020 kicks off in Scorpio, and this can uncover what lies beneath, resurrect old grievances, and make for a lot of angst. On the plus side, it is good for solving mysteries, working on karma, and pursuing transformations.

  This transit lasts until November 3rd, 2020, but Mercury does not retrograde entirely in Scorpio. Mercury retrogrades into Libra on September 27th, 2020, and spends the end of the retrograde targeting relationships and our ability to connect and compromise.

  The Sun opposite Mars aspect can bring out some fiery tempers with Mars ruling aggression. External factors may come into play, and we may be more easily provoked into doing or saying something that we regret later, so some self-control is important.

  This energy is great for anything that requires physical endurance. If you don’t have any projects like that, maybe just go for a run!

October 15, 2020

Sun (Libra) square Pluto (Capricorn)

  

This aspect can bring out struggles over power and control. We may feel that we know best and don’t want to hear from anyone else, but this can create more problems than it solves.

  It’s likely that there is something within that needs to be addressed, and when we do that, we can grow within our own power instead of looking for it outside of ourselves.

  October 16, 2020

  

New Moon in Libra

  

The New Moon in Libra is one that focuses on peace, harmony, and balance. It wants all of us to get along, make compromises, and consider one another. Libra wants everything to be pleasant and calm.

  The Mars retrograde may have other plans since it’s at odds with the Libra energy, and we may experience situations on the outside that try to disrupt the harmony and connections we want. It’s important not to let those situations completely take over and remember what matters.

  Being balanced, with both your focus on yourself and your focus on others, can be of great help.
