Key ideas

- Jupiter moving into Cancer is one of the most auspicious, positive transits we can ever have.

- The Full Moon in Revati closes the eclipse window — a sense of culmination and completion.

- Sun in Libra and Venus in Virgo bring relationship tests; lead through collaboration, not control.

- If something’s stuck, Mars into Scorpio will move the energy at the end of October

Notes

October 2025 has the last big transit of the year. We have Jupiter moving into Cancer this month — one of the most auspicious, positive transits we can ever have — and it only happens once every 12 years. It’s starting in October, it’s brief at first, and it sets the stage for 2026 into 2027. This energy is very positive for relationships and growth on a lot of levels, and we’ll talk about how to work with it in a real, practical way.

We open October with Mercury moving into Libra on Thursday, October 2. In late September, Mercury was exalted in Virgo — great for getting things said and resolved. Now Mercury in Libra with Mars brings direct, creative communication, action, and emotional intimacy. If there’s a conversation that moves a relationship forward or a creative project that needs a decision, this is the window to speak and act.

On Monday, October 6, the Full Moon in Revati closes the eclipse window. Think back to March — what was opening then? All full moons are a good day to celebrate and integrate, and Revati brings wisdom, intuition and completion. The Moon conjoins Saturn that day, so it’s an excellent time to practice, be disciplined, and do the things that actually move energy — which is why I’m holding the yoga workshop then.

Thursday, October 9, Venus enters Virgo (debilitation). You’ll see the internet focus on the negatives — nitpicking, overanalyzing love — but every placement has positive, negative, and neutral expressions. “Bring the Virgo healer’s precision to find root causes,” then speak from the heart. This can be a sober, clarifying month for finances, division of responsibilities, and long-term plans.

Friday, October 10, the Moon is exalted in Taurus — a sweet day for dates, romance, beauty, and nourishing the senses. Tuesday, October 14, Pluto goes direct in Capricorn (Uttara Ashada). We’ve been revisiting foundations; now we build forward — values, structure, and what you’re willing to stand for. On Friday, October 17, the Sun moves into Libra (debilitation): leadership through collaboration, compromise over control. If your ego wants to be right, notice it and choose balance.

Saturday, October 18, Jupiter enters Cancer (exaltation). It’s a short initial pass, but it brings the home, relationships, care, and spiritual mentorship with growth. Watch for over-comforting or naiveté with teachers, but overall this is balm after the harder edges of the month. Monday, October 20 is our free Relationship Astrology workshop — synastry, what to look for in a partner, and how to see strengths and growth edges in charts.

Tuesday, October 21, New Moon in Chitra (Virgo): new systems, new routines, new healing. It’s a great day to reset health, organize money with spreadsheets or an accountant, and set clear intentions for love and daily rhythms. Then Friday, October 24, Mercury moves into Scorpio for deeper conversations, research, therapy, and personal growth. End of month, Mars moves into Scorpio: bias toward action. If something’s stuck, move your body, sweat, and give that Mars-in-Scorpio activation energy a target.
