Month of October

Aries

There is not only change in the air on the job and career fronts but so much so that in the early part of the month there is a need to pause. While the Sun and Mercury not only left your work sector at the end of last month but left it empty until June 2025, the Moon's return just after they left has managed to hold onto their influence. The Sun will always leave your work sector on the September equinox, taking the solar spotlight off your work situation and job matters.

It was Mercury's departure three days later that brought all planetary activity on the job front for the year to a close. However, a day later the Moon not only returned but as you move into the new month is still here. The Moon is here until 2nd October, allowing you to begin the month with an intuitive read on work and job matters from the start and the process of tying up loose ends underway.

Before leaving the Moon will spend its final hours at a friendly aspect to Uranus in your income sector and to Pluto, by this stage coming to a standstill as he moves into his final 10 days in retrograde motion in your career sector. It is Pluto's direct turn on 12th October that five and a half weeks after retrograding back in will see him make a U turn and start his five and a half week trek back out again, not to return again in our lifetime. This makes the Moon's return to your career sector on 9th October to 12th October a chance to go into these final days where the focus is still on the past and as the tide prepares to turn, with your professional instincts sharp while emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware.

While Pluto is preparing to leave your career sector for good, the dwarf planet Ceres is not only here until December but will be joined by Venus next month and by the Sun and Mercury before she leaves. Meanwhile, having begun the month in your work sector, the Moon will come full circle from 27th October to 29th October, offering a chance to check in.

Taurus

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your work sector, the solar spotlight is always on your work situation, job matters and options at this time of year. This year a lot of water has already passed under the bridge and rather than things just getting started, by the end of the month all planetary activity on the career front for the year will be all but over. However, with a lot more water still to pass under the bridge before then.

While the South Node has been in your work sector all year, this is a subtle force that is more focused on keeping things on track while along with its partner the North Node, on policing how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. The first actual planetary activity on the job front this year began when the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment returned for her first visit to your work sector in four years in early August. She was joined later that month by Venus, with the two able to work together to give your heart a voice, get a sense of what you want and start turning this into a sense of resolve, all before the Sun returned.

The Sun will always return to your work sector on the September equinox, but this year Venus left just as he returned and in time to pass the torch. It was Mercury's return three days later that allows you to move into the new month with your head in the game from the start. This includes when the Moon not only moves through your work sector from 2nd October to 5th October but when its alignment with the Sun will create an eclipsing New Moon on 3rd October.

It is having the South Node here that will turn an ordinary New Moon into a more potent solar eclipse, adding the element of fate to what will always be a powerful chance to draw a new line in the sand. With Mercury here until 14th October, the Sun until 23rd October and Juno leaving early next month, this is when everything that has been building since early August is coming together. Meanwhile, the Moon's return to your career sector from 12th October to 14th October will be a chance to check in on the bigger picture.

Gemini

While the Sun won't return to your work sector until 23rd October, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your work situation, job matters and options, things are not only off to a powerful start here but across the income, work and career fronts. Until just a few weeks ago there had been no planetary activity in your work sector since late last year and while you have Saturn and Neptune in your career sector, they are in retrograde motion and in no hurry to see any movement. It was on the September equinox that things started to change, but it is in the early days of this month that this will become more apparent.

Things took a turn for the better when Mars returned to your income sector early last month, something that put him in harmony with Saturn and Neptune but with no direct contact at first. The real game changer came with Venus, the planet of money, desire and attraction's return to your work sector on the September equinox. As well as kicking off the first planetary activity on the job front this year, by this point Mars was drawing closer to a friendly aspect to Saturn in your career sector.

They came together in the final hours of September and are still aligned as you move into the new month. This is bringing together Mars' drive to fight for what you deserve when it comes to the money and Saturn's resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes professionally. Within days Venus will first move into a friendly aspect to Saturn and then just a few days later to Mars, creating a tight and powerful team that will be powering things up across the income, work and career fronts from the start.

While Venus will leave your work sector on 18th October, Mercury's return on 14th October and the Sun's return on 23rd October will not only keep the momentum on the job front going but the partnership with Saturn and Neptune in your career sector and to Mars, who will spend the whole of October in your income sector.

Cancer

From a fairly quiet but predictable, for this time of year, start to the month things are set to roar back into life and it is going to happen in one fell swoop. While you have the North Node in your career sector, this is a force rather than a physical object and apart from working with the South Node to monitor your work/life balance, its main function is to provide a sense of professional direction. With both planets here in retrograde motion, no planetary activity in your work sector since the early weeks of the year and the Sun not returning until towards the end of November, things are not only fairly quiet as you move into the new month but there is no reason to think that this will change.

However, your sixth sense will be telling you otherwise, for it is getting its information from your over the horizon radar and knows what lies around the corner. With the Moon set to sharpen your instincts when it returns to your two professional houses, that sense of change in the air is set to become progressively stronger. You will get your first taste of this when the Moon returns to your work sector from 7th October to 9th October.

While an ordinary monthly visit and something that every four weeks can give you a better read on work and job matters and even act as a trigger, your sixth sense will become even more alert to the changes ahead. By the time the Moon returns to your career sector from 16th October and your professional instincts kick in, this is when there will be a sense there is not only change ahead but it is about to burst. It is in the Moon's final hours that the dam will burst, this visit not only ending with a Full Moon on 18th October but on the same day that Venus returns to begin the first planetary activity on the job front since earlier in the year.

With the Sun still over a month away, Venus is getting things off to an early start while planets returning next month will keep the momentum going right through to February 2025.

Leo

As you move into the new month the professional gods have the brakes on both job and career matters, though for different reasons. As Uranus enters his second month in retrograde motion in your career sector, he is no longer stalled but he is also nowhere near up to speed. Instead, he is crawling back over old ground in a way that gives you time to observe and to use hindsight to gain a better sense of perspective.

As a slow outer planet, Uranus is used to this and especially as since his return in 2019 this has been an annual event. Uranus is your eyes and in retrograde motion, this is a chance to look back and gain a better sense of perspective. With Uranus in retrograde motion for the rest of the year, he is in no hurry and will continue to quietly provide access to the rear view mirror.

At the same time, Pluto is not only also in retrograde motion in your work sector but is coming to a complete stop. However, unlike Uranus who is just settling into his long retrograde phase, Pluto is preparing to come out of his. By the time the Moon moves through your work sector from 9th October to 12th October Pluto will be at a standstill and in his final days in retrograde motion, this will be a chance to pause as the planet of change and transformation takes one last look back over his shoulder.

It is just a few hours after the Moon leaves that Pluto will not only turn direct on 12th October, but five and a half weeks after retrograding back in for just 11 weeks, will make a U turn and start heading back out again. Once Pluto leaves next month he won't return again in our lifetime, with his final hours in retrograde motion a chance to reflect on the changes you might want to make when he turns direct. By the time the Moon returns to your career sector on 18th October Pluto will have been in direct motion for six days.

Before leaving on 20th October the Moon will align with Uranus and form a friendly aspect to Pluto, giving you a read on what has changed and what has remained the same.

Virgo

On both the job and career fronts there is a sense of change in the air, but also a need to pause as the dynamics of this professional year prepare to shift. This makes the Moon's monthly visits to your work and career sectors an important chance to check in, get your bearings and a better read on what your sixth sense is picking up on. Because Pluto retrograded back out of your work sector last month and won't return again until next month, it will remain empty all month while slowing ahead of a retrograde turn in your career sector on 9th October, the planet of luck and expansion has the brakes on.

This might make it feel like this professional year has run out of steam but is instead a chance to pause. Jupiter has to come to a standstill in order to turn retrograde, so be patient if it feels like the brakes have come on, because they have. However, Jupiter's quest for professional growth and expansion will continue, but instead of focusing on conquering new ground, he is shifting focus to going back over old ground.

Once in retrograde motion, Jupiter will pick up speed again, though if things are slow for the rest of the month take advantage of it, for it will be a different story next month. This is something that you might pick up on when the Moon moves through your work sector from 12th October to 14th October. This is something that every four weeks can give you an intuitive read on work and job matters and even act as a trigger.

What is significant about this visit is the timing. Not only will the Moon form a friendly aspect to Jupiter in his early days in retrograde motion in your career sector as it moves through, but it returns on the same day that Pluto not only turns direct but makes a U turn and begins his five and a half week trek back to your work sector. Not only is Pluto on his way back but when he returns next month he will be here for the next 20 years.

It is a week later that the Moon will make its first visit to your career sector since Jupiter's retrograde turn, with a chance to check in and get your bearings when it moves through from 20th October to 22nd October.

Libra

At a point in the year when there is rarely any planetary activity in your career sector and when any planet in your work sector will be in retrograde motion, unusually things are anything but quiet. By the time the Sun left your career sector in July Venus and Mercury had already passed through, leaving it empty and usually that would mean for the rest of the year. At the same time, not only are both planets in your work sector in retrograde motion but with Saturn turning direct next month and Neptune in early December, they are starting to slow down.

This should be one of the quieter months of this professional year but instead, it is anything but. The game changer was Mars' return to your career sector early last month, with his visit falling outside the parameters of the Sun, Venus and Mercury's predictable annual schedule. In short, while it is impossible for them to return at any other time than in the middle months of the year, Mars is a free agent and can show up at any time.

Normally here for six weeks, Mars is slowing down and ahead of a retrograde turn later in the year and this will keep him here for two months, not leaving until early November. However, it is just as you move into the new month that the real implications are starting to be felt and that includes across the income, work and career fronts. This is when everything will start to converge, including the impact of Venus' early return to your income sector on the September equinox.

It was in the final hours of September that Mars made a direct connection with Saturn, with the two starting the month at a friendly aspect. This is a coming together of Mars' professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit and Saturn's resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes on the job front. It is just a few days later that a friendly aspect between Venus on the income and Saturn on the job front will peak, while a few days later Venus and Mars will come together.

This not only gets the month off to a good start across the income, work and career fronts but sets the scene for the whole month.

Scorpio

Even though things are relatively quiet on the professional front this month, before the month even begins and even more so when the Moon returns for its monthly visits to your work and career sectors, there will be a growing sense of change in the air and the exciting kind. While you have the North Node in your work sector and this is providing a sense of direction and purpose, with both planets here in retrograde motion for several months now, there is no urgency, things aren't particularly busy and there isn't an urgent need to reinvent the wheel. At the same time, with the Sun, Venus and Mercury having already moved through your career sector, all planetary activity on the career front ended last month.

The difference is that unlike most years, it won't stay empty, with Mars returning early next month to begin his longest visit in two decades, spread out over two visits that won't finally run their course until June 2025. Things may have gone quiet on the career front, but this is more a chance to catch your breath, knowing that the busiest months of the year are still in front of you. It is 18 days before Mars' return on 3rd November that things will start to change and that includes across the income, work and career fronts.

It begins with the Moon's return to your work sector on 16th October, something that every four weeks can give you an intuitive read on work and job matters and act as a trigger. To start with this is an ordinary monthly visit, but it is during the Moon's final hours that there will be a dramatic upswing. It is just before leaving on 18th October that this will not only become a Full Moon but on the same day that Venus will make an early return to your income sector.

This will kick off the most lucrative months of 2024 just as work and job matters are being energised by a Full Moon. When the Moon returns to your career sector from 24th October to 27th October it will form a friendly aspect to the North Node and to both planets in your work sector, as well as to Venus in your income sector. By this point, Mars will be just days away from his return to your career sector.

Sagittarius

On both the job and career fronts, as you move into the new month there is a chance to pause, as the main push to get things up to speed ends and the job of keeping things on track begins. However, in the early days of the month, this is still in transition and especially on the career front. It was early last month that Uranus, the planet that since 2019 has been your eyes and ears on the job front, helping you to keep things in perspective, turned retrograde.

Since his return in 2019 and until he leaves in 2026, this is the point in the year when Uranus will always turn back, giving you a chance to process what has been an extremely active year so far. While Uranus is on his own and will remain in retrograde motion for the rest of the year as Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion only left in May, there is a lot to go back over and review. Meanwhile, because the Sun will always leave your career sector on the September equinox, the solar spotlight will have always just shifted off your career situation and matters by the time you move into October, but it was Mercury's departure three days later that ended all planetary activity on the career front for the year.

However, the Moon not only returned a day later but is still here as you move into the new month. By returning so soon after the Sun and Mercury left, the Moon was able to hold onto and capture their influence and until leaving on 2nd October, you are transitioning from some very active months on the career front to all of a sudden having no planets here. With your career sector remaining empty until June 2025, a chance to start the month with your professional instincts sharp and with everything still fresh in your mind couldn't be more important.

Before leaving the Moon will form a friendly aspect to Uranus and to Pluto in your income sector, getting the month off to a good start across the income, work and career fronts. A return to your work sector from 18th October to 20th October and to your career sector again from 27th October to 29th October will also be an important chance to check in.

Capricorn

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your career sector, the solar spotlight is always on your career and professional situation, matters and options at this time of year, but with some significant differences this time. There are four significant factors and together they are making this one of the most pivotal months of this professional year and on the career front in particular, the month that everything until now has led up to and everything from now will lead on from. The first is that Venus, who last year didn't return to your career sector until October was just leaving when the Sun returned.

By the time the Sun returned Venus had not only given your heart a voice but helped to create some positive energy across the income, work and career fronts. The second factor is that in early August the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment returned for her first visit to your career sector in four years and she and Venus were both here when Pluto was still in your income sector. Pluto has since retrograded back out, but they both moved into a friendly aspect to the planet of change and transformation when they returned.

The third factor is that for the first time since 2023, Jupiter is in your career sector and Venus also connected with the planet of luck and expansion as she moved through. The fourth factor is that with the South Node in your career sector all year, this will turn the New Moon on 3rd October is a far more potent solar eclipse. The Moon is here from 2nd October to 5th October and as well creating the potential for new beginnings and opportunities, as a solar eclipse this brings the element of fate into play.

With Jupiter turning retrograde on 9th October, this is a week before the doors are also set to open to the past, second chances and untapped job potential. Mercury is in your career sector until 14th October and the Sun until 23rd October, but with the asteroid Juno staying on to tie up loose ends before she too leaves early next month.

Aquarius

All of a sudden October is the 'it' month for this professional year, with all roads leading to this one month being the month that everything until now has led up to and everything from now will lead on from. Long after all planetary activity on the job front for the year should have run its course Mars is not only here but is making his mark from the start and long before the Sun's return to your work sector on 23rd October, Venus is here from the start as well. Normally here for six weeks and usually the busiest of any year, Mars is slowing down and will spend two months here before leaving on 3rd November.

For much of September Mars was a free agent, in harmony with Saturn and Neptune in your income sector and with Venus when she returned to your career sector on 23rd October, but without making direct contact. Towards the end of last month, this would have seen your confidence start to rise on the income, work and career fronts, as well as a sense that you were on the cusp of something. It is just as you move into the new month that things are coming together, with a friendly aspect between Mars and Saturn having just begun.

This is a coming together of Mars' drive to move things forward on the job front and Saturn's resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes when it comes to the money. This will still be separating when a few days later a friendly aspect between Venus on the career and Saturn on the income front peaks and then, just a few days after that, Venus and Mars will connect directly. This is creating a rare, positive and powerful trine aspect between Mars, Saturn and Venus that is creating a huge amount of positive energy across the income, work and career fronts.

While they will then start to separate, before leaving your career sector on 18th October Venus will form the same aspect to Neptune on the income front, as will Mars later in the month. When Mercury returns to your career sector on 14th October and the Sun on 23rd October, they will do the same, keeping the momentum going all month.

Pisces

With the Sun not returning to your career sector until later next month and as he and the faster planets have already moved through your work sector, this is usually a relatively quiet month professionally. While to start with that is still the case, there is change in the air and it is massive. The change will unfold over an 18 day period from 16th October to 3rd November, after which everything will have changed across the income, work and career fronts and it will stay that way for the rest of the year and well into the early months of 2025.

To start with, there is no planetary activity in either of your two professional houses, as you would expect at this time of year. By the time Mercury left your work sector last month the Sun and Venus had already moved through, ending all planetary activity on the job front and the annual focus that they will always put on work and job matters in the middle months of the year. At the same time, with the Sun not returning to your career sector until 22nd November, there has been no planetary activity here since the early weeks of the year.

Because the planets move in cycles, history will be telling you not to expect anything to change, but your sixth sense will be telling you otherwise. The Moon will make its monthly visit to your career sector from 7th October to 9th October, allowing you to check in and sharpen your professional instincts. It is a week later that you will enter the 18 day period where everything is set to change.

It will begin in a fairly low key way, with the Moon's return for its monthly visit to your income sector on 16th October, something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger. It is in the Moon's final hours and just before leaving on 18th October that it will not only roar into life as a Full Moon but on the same day that Venus will make an early return to your career sector. The Moon will move on but not before energising the two planets there while Mars' return to your work sector on 3rd November will complete a team that will change everything.
