Month of October
Aries
Because the Sun will always return on the September equinox and spend the first three weeks of October in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year. However, this ordinary event comes with some extraordinary support and a lot of history. For the first time since 2013, Jupiter is not only in your communication sector but will be until June 2023, with every planet that has returned to your relationship sector this year at some point forming a friendly aspect as it moved through.
In a year when the lunar nodes are policing a balance between your own and your relationship needs, this couldn't be more important.
By the time the Sun returned the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships had been in your relationship sector for over six weeks and Venus for 24 days. That Venus left on the same day that the Sun returned, gave the planet of love a chance to pass the torch while leaving you with a clear sense of what you want from your relationships.
It was three days later that Mercury returned, completing the lineup of planets that will take your relationships into the future. Mercury is only here until 14th October, but in that time, he will be doing what as the planet of communication he does best. It is while Mercury is still here that the Moon will move through your relationship sector from 2nd October to 4th October, creating an eclipsing New Moon on 3rd October that will bring an opportunity for new beginnings.
It is two weeks later that a Full Moon in Aries on 18th October and just days before the Sun is due to leave your relationship sector on 23rd October could flush out what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. The Sun will be gone by the time the Moon returns to your relationship sector again on 29th October and with Juno leaving on 3rd November, this will be a valuable chance to check in. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity on the romantic front until Mars returns next month, the Moon's visit from 24th October to 26th October will be some of the most romantically charged days of the month.
Taurus
While the Sun's return to your relationship sector on 23rd October is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your relationships, often for the first time all year, this year things got off to an early and special start. It was a month earlier that Venus, who last year didn't return until December, returned to begin the first planetary activity in your relationship sector this year. As Venus is only here until 18th October, the planet of love will be gone by the time the Sun returns, but she will have made a huge impact by then.
By returning ahead of the Sun and before the solar spotlight shifts onto your relationships and things get real, she is able to work her magic.
By the time the Sun returns you should not only know what you want from your relationships, but through the laws of attraction Venus will have been working to turn desires into reality. Chances are, the Sun will also return to find the communication lines open.
This is partly because you have Mars in your communication sector all month and partly because Mercury, the planet of communication will return to your relationship sector on 14th October. This is four days before Venus leaves and still here when the Sun returns on 23rd October, this will provide continuity and keep the communication lines open.
However, while the Sun will remain in your relationship sector until later next month and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships who will return early next month will be here until February it is this month that you have all the communication support.
Within hours of each other Mars will leave your communication sector and Mercury your relationship sector early next month, making this a powerful month for having the communication lines open. The Moon's return to your communication sector from 22nd October to 24th October will give this an additional boost. Meanwhile, starting the month with the Moon in your romantic sector until 2nd October and then returning again from 27th October to 29th October will make up for all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year having ended last month.
Gemini
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your romantic sector, the solar spotlight is always on matters of the heart and all things romantic at this time of year. However, by the time you even moved into the new month, there was a lot of history with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment having returned for her first visit in four years in early August and Venus, the planet of love having already moved through. You also have the South Node in your romantic sector for the whole of 2024, something that will turn a New Moon here on 3rd October into a total solar eclipse.
A New Moon is an opportunity for new beginnings, while an eclipse not only creates the potential for major new beginnings, but this brings the element of fate into play. The Moon will move through from 2nd October to 4th October, while the Sun and Mercury are still here and at a point when every planet that has or will return to your romantic sector this year is either here or has moved through. As the planet of communication, until he leaves on 14th October, he will be working to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, while the Sun will keep the solar spotlight on matters of the heart until leaving on 23rd October.
Juno will stay on until early next month but will leave on 3rd November, a month to the day from the eclipsing New Moon. The Moon will move through one last time before Juno leaves and ends all planetary activity for the year from 29th October to 31st October. Meanwhile, while planetary activity on the romantic is moving into its final stage Venus, the planet of love's return to your relationship sector on 18th October will begin the first planetary activity on the relationship front since the early weeks of the year.
Ahead of that, the Moon's return from 7th October to 9th October will be a valuable chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware.
Cancer
While the Sun won't return to your romantic sector until 23rd October, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto matters of the heart, it was a month earlier that Venus returned to begin the first planetary activity on the romantic front this year. Last year Venus didn't return until December and left in the closing days of the year. As the last planet to leave your romantic sector in 2023 and the first to return in 2024, Venus is putting her stake in the ground.
Venus is only here until 18th October so will be gone by the time the Sun returns, but with Mercury returning on 14th October to ensure the spirit of romance won't go off the boil.
Helping to ensure that doesn't happen is the support of Mars in Cancer and from both planets in an adventurous part of your chart that Venus has had from the start. The closer it is to her departure on 18th October the closer Venus will get to all three, with a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure especially strong in the heart of the month and just as Mercury returns to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page.
Mercury is here for the rest of the month and while both he and the Sun will leave next month, the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment's return in early November is going to keep the romantic flame burning into the early months of 2025.
It is in the early days of the month and while Venus is still on her own, that the Moon's return to your romantic sector from 5th October to 7th October will make these some of the most romantically charged days of the month. It is two days later that the Moon will return for its monthly visit to your relationship sector from 9th October to 12th October and the timing couldn't be better.
With Pluto turning direct here on 12th October, this will ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware during his final days in retrograde motion and as the focus prepares to shift off the past.
Leo
As you move into the new month it will be business as usual on the romantic and relationship fronts, with a continuation of where things left off last month. On the relationship front, this will stay the same all month, but there are some game changing developments on the romantic front ahead. There has been no planetary activity in your relationship sector since Pluto retrograded back out early last month and apart from the Moon's monthly visits, it will remain empty until he returns later next month.
However, because when Pluto returns it will be to spend the next 20 years here and having already spent seven months here before retrograding back out, this is a valuable chance to check in.
The Moon will make its monthly visit to your relationship sector from 12th October to 14th October and the timing makes it even more important to remain emotionally engaged and aware as it moves through. It is just a few hours after the Moon returns that Pluto will turn direct and start his slow trek back to your relationship sector.
While it will be another seven weeks before he returns, you will have an intuitive sense that the planet of change and transformation is on his way back, making it important to pay attention to your emotional responses as the Moon moves through, for your attention will soon be drawn elsewhere.
With no planetary activity in your romantic sector since the early weeks of the year, the Moon's monthly visits have been key to keeping the spirit of romance alive, as it will be when the Moon moves through from 7th October to 9th October. However, that is about to change with Venus, who last year didn't return until 30th December and spent less than 48 hours in your romantic sector in 2023, returning for her second visit this year on 18th October.
This is the same day as a Full Moon in an adventurous part of your chart and as Venus will be working closely with the planets there over the following weeks, this is going to jumpstart the spirit of romance and adventure at the same time.
Virgo
Having retrograded back in on 3rd September and due to leave again on 20th November, not to return again in our lifetime this is Pluto, the planet of change, transformation and rebellion's first, last and only full month back in your romantic sector. However, it is also a month of two halves, with Pluto slowing to a point where he will need to come to a standstill in order to turn direct on 12th October. It is that direct turn that will see Pluto make a U turn and start heading back out again and while it will take him another seven weeks to leave, this is the beginning of the end of a visit that had begun back in 2008.
In his final 12 days in retrograde motion, Pluto is looking to the past and along with Uranus, moving into his second month in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart, he is holding the doors open to the past and second chances. While the dwarf planet Ceres will stay on in your romantic sector until December and Venus' early return next month means that she will be back before Pluto leaves, the days of having constant planetary activity in your romantic sector all year round are coming to an end. The Moon will make its romantic sector from 9th October to 12th October, in time to capture those final days in retrograde motion.
Meanwhile, with Saturn in his last full month in retrograde motion in your relationship sector and Neptune turning direct here in early December, they are both slowing down but on the relationship front, the focus is still on the past. With Venus in your communication sector until 18th October and Mercury from 14th October between them, the planets of love and communication will keep the communication lines open. With Venus spending her final days closely aligned with planets in your relationship sector, this will be just as Mercury returns.
With the Moon in your relationship sector from 14th October to 16th October, this will be right when the collaboration between the communication and relationship gods will be at its peak.
Libra
One of the most significant events of the month is something that at the time is likely to go unnoticed, save what your heart's over the horizon radar could pick up on and especially because of the timing. There has been no planetary activity in your romantic sector since Pluto retrograded back out at the start of last month, but it is when the Moon moves through from 12th October to 14th October that an unexpected sense of anticipation could kick in. For it is on 12th October that Pluto will turn retrograde, something that will see the planet of change and transformation make a U turn and start heading back towards your romantic sector.
While Pluto won't return until 20th November, once back he will be here for the next 20 years. Meanwhile, it is two days after the Moon leaves your romantic sector that it will return to your relationship sector, something that from 16th October to 18th October will every four weeks bring a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged. However, two things set this monthly visit apart, one the Moon itself and the other the timing.
At some point during your birthday month, the Moon will return to your relationship sector and when it does, on the other side of the sky to the Sun it will form a Full Moon, which it will do on 18th October.
This is something that can put some pressure on a balance between your own and your relationship needs but at the same time giving you a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. While Mercury, the planet of communication will leave Libra on 14th October, not before giving you the first two weeks of the month to get the communication lines open.
However, what makes the timing significant is that just as the Full Moon peaks on 18th October Venus, the planet of love will return to your communication sector to begin her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice.
Scorpio
It was last month's eclipsing Full Moon in your romantic sector, just a few days before Venus, the planet of love returned to Scorpio that has given the spirit of romance a boost and has gotten her mission to update your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and dreams for the coming year off to an empowered start. However, before leaving on 18th October Venus will not only be drawing closer to Neptune and Saturn in your romantic sector but to Mars, who is spending the whole of November in an adventurous part of your chart. Venus returns to Scorpio once a year, but the last time Mars was in an adventurous part of your chart at the time was 16 years ago.
With Saturn and Neptune both in retrograde motion but slowing ahead of Saturn's direct turn next month and Neptune's in early December, it comes while they are holding the doors open to the past and second chances. After his retrograde turn in your relationship sector last month, the doors are also open to the past on the relationship front. While it is during Venus' final days in Scorpio that she will be getting peak support from Mars, Saturn and Neptune, bringing together a potent mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure, this is also when she will clash with Uranus in your relationship sector.
This might push some buttons but as the planet of love, Venus will use this to get a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. With Mercury, the planet of communication returning to Scorpio on 14th October and Pluto in his last full month in your communication sector, there will be plenty of support from the communication gods. It is just as you are moving into some of Venus' most pivotal days in Scorpio that the Moon will return to your romantic sector from 14th October to 16th October, while returning to your relationship sector just 31 minutes after she leaves.
By then you will have a whole new sense of what you want from love and your relationships.
Sagittarius
There is a lot to be excited about on both the romantic and relationship fronts this month, while at the same time, this is a month of two halves though with a blurring of the lines between the two. Until leaving a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart Venus, the planet of love is taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane that will end with her return to Sagittarius on 18th October. With both planets in your romantic sector in retrograde motion, this will add to a sense of romantic nostalgia while giving you better access to the doors that have been open to the past for several months now.
It is the Moon's return to your romantic sector from 16th October to 18th October that will not only make Venus' final days some of the most romantically charged, but with a Full Moon just a few hours before she leaves giving the spirit of romance a massive boost. The Moon will leave your romantic sector just 31 minutes after Venus not only leaves a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart but returns to Sagittarius, where the focus will shift to the future. This will be Venus' second visit to Sagittarius this year and at the end of a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane, she will be ready to start looking to the future.
However, that won't be the end of a sense of romantic nostalgia or mean the doors to the past will close. Instead, with both planets in your romantic sector in retrograde motion for the rest of the year the doors will not only remain open to the past there but on 9th October, Jupiter will return retrograde in your relationship sector and won't turn direct again until February. On the romantic and relationship fronts, the doors will remain open to the past for the rest of the year, while Venus will be opening new doors on both fronts.
It is in Venus' early days in Sagittarius the Moon's return to your relationship sector from 20th October to 22nd October will give you a read on the doors Jupiter has opened to the past.
Capricorn
While Uranus, in your romantic sector since 2019 and not leaving until 2026 will always be in retrograde motion by this point in the year and having the doors open to the past and second chances on the romantic front is a given, there is rarely any planetary activity on the relationship front at this time of year. Instead, it was early last month and long after the Sun, Mercury and Venus had already moved through that Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos returned. This came just as Pluto retrograded back into Capricorn and while they won't clash until early next month, when it comes to a balance between your own and your relationship needs the planets of war and revolution are keeping each other on their toes.
There could be times when your own and your relationship needs clash, as this is such a powerful and important month for both you and your relationships this can be used to adjust what you want from your relationships and what they need from you in real time. Meanwhile, Mars will not only start the month at a friendly aspect to Saturn in your communication sector and drawing closer to another to Neptune there as the month progresses Venus, the planet of love will be doing the same. At the same time, before leaving your friendship sector on 18th October, Venus will also draw close to Mars, making this a positive month for friendship and relationship building.
In what is an important month on the romantic and relationship fronts, the Moon's monthly visit will be a valuable chance to check in. Especially important will be the Moon's return to your communication sector from 14th October to 16th October, its last before Mars leaves your relationship sector. Before returning for its last visit to your relationship sector before Mars leaves from 22nd October to 24th October, the Moon will make an important visit to your romantic sector.
While an ordinary monthly visit, the Moon's return from 18th October to 20th October comes just as Venus will be returning to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 18th October to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane that will end with her return to Capricorn next month.
Aquarius
As far as matters of the heart and all things romantic are concerned, this is a month of two halves though the line won't be drawn down the centre of the month and instead nearly a week earlier. That line will be drawn on 9th October, with the conditions before and after very different. The month begins with Jupiter still on his own in your romantic sector, as he has been since Mars left early last month.
However, this giant planet is slowing down and the journey this lucky year for love and all things romantic is taking you on is preparing to make a U turn. By 9th October Jupiter will have come to a standstill and it is then that his retrograde turn will shift the focus off the future and onto the past.
This will see the planet of luck and expansion make a U turn and with the full support of the Sun and planets in an adventurous part of your chart, open the doors to the past.
Not turning direct until early February, Jupiter will not only spend the rest of the year in retrograde motion but will begin travelling back over the ground he has already covered. This will open the doors to the past and second chances, something that you will get even more access to when Venus, the planet of love returns to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart next month.
In the meantime, you will have a chance to get a better feel for this when the Moon returns to your romantic sector from 20th October to 22nd October.
While an ordinary monthly visit and the Moon has connected with Jupiter every four weeks since his return in May, the last time he was in retrograde motion as these romantically charged lunar vibes passed through was in 2013. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your relationship sector since Mercury, the planet of communication left early last month and until Mars returns early next month, the Moon's return from 24th October to 26th October will be a valuable chance to check in. A Full Moon in your communication sector on 18th October will be a chance to go into this with the communication lines open.
Pisces
It is rare to have any planetary activity in your romantic sector at this time of year but unlike the Sun, Mercury and Venus, who can only move through in the middle of the year Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos has no such restraints. Having returned early last month and not due to leave until early next month, Mars will spend the whole month in your romantic sector and the timing couldn't be better. Knowing that while Mars will leave on 3rd November, he will return in the New Year to spend another three months here, also makes this a stepping stone and just one of many that lead to Jupiter's return in June 2025 to begin your luckiest year for love in over a decade.
However, what makes the timing significant is while last year she didn't return until December, last month Venus, the planet of love returned to an adventurous part of your chart to begin her annual mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together. While Venus has returned ahead of the Sun, who won't return until 23rd October, she is always here at around this time of year and never during what are usually the most active months of the year on the romantic front. This time, for the first time in 16 years Mars is in your romantic sector at the time and until she leaves on 18th October, the planets of love and passion will work together to create some real magic.
Both start the month at a friendly aspect to Saturn in Pisces and will then go on to draw closer to dreamy Neptune there. While Venus will leave an adventurous part of your chart on 18th October, with Mercury returning on 14th October and the Sun on 23rd October, a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure will pervade the month. This will be especially potent during Venus' final days and then again when the Moon moves through your romantic sector from 22nd October to 24th October.
Meanwhile, with no more planetary activity in your relationship sector after the Sun and Mercury left last month, having the Moon here until 2nd October and then returning again from 27th October to 29th October will be a chance to check in and remain emotionally engaged.
