Month of October

Aries

While Venus, the planet of love not only left your romantic sector last month but ended all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year, that she was late to return and therefore late to leave kept this going much longer into the year than is normally the case. That the Moon was here during her final days even added fuel to the spirit of romance, making this easier to hold onto. With no more planetary activity on the romantic front until mid 2026, the Moon's monthly visits are key to keeping the spirit of romance alive.

This makes it important to pay attention and give love a chance when the Moon makes its first visit since Venus left from 14th October to 17th October. Meanwhile, because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year. Again, because of a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus will be late to return and late to leave.

Venus won't return until 14th October and with Mercury, the planet of communication leaving on 7th October and the Sun on 23rd October, she will end the month on her own and once again, able to bring things home. However, with a lot of water set to pass under the bridge before then and a lot having passed under before the Sun even returned. It was a day before the Sun returned last month that Mars left, but not before having spent six and a half weeks firing things up and especially the drive to fight for what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.

Meanwhile, while it is a given that any planet moving through your relationship sector will clash with the planets in Aries, for the first time in 77 years with Uranus in your communication sector. The Moon was in your relationship sector when the Sun returned last month, but will come full circle from 19th October to 22nd October as a New Moon.

Taurus

Due to a retrograde turn earlier in the year, Venus is still trailing behind the other planets and that means she will be late to return to both your romantic and relationship sectors this year. You might have to wait longer for the planet of love's touch, but by the time she returns to each the Sun, Mercury and Mars will have already moved through, with all she has to do is work her magic to bring things home. This means that while this is a huge month on the relationship front, Venus won't return until next month, yet with a chance to benefit from this on the romantic front.

Long after the Sun and the other planets have moved through, you begin the month with Venus not only in your romantic sector but on her own. Until leaving on 14th October, Venus will be working to make these some of the most romantically charged weeks of the year, knowing that when she leaves, apart from the Moon's monthly visits, this will end all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year. The Moon will make the first of those visits from 17th October to 19th October, in time to capture some of the planet of love's influence.

Meanwhile, while the Sun won't return to your relationship sector until 23rd October, the point in each year when the solar spotlight shifts onto your relationships, a lot of water will have passed under the bridge by then. Having spent the majority of the year here, the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will leave on 1st October, handing the reins to Mars, who had returned last month. Mars is here for the whole of October, with Juno leaving him with something to fight for.

Mercury, the planet of communication will move through from 7th October to 30th October, but a retrograde phase will bring him back later next month, by which point Venus will have returned. With the Moon moving through from 22nd October to 24th October, this will ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware when the Sun returns on 23rd October.

Gemini

The stars are dialling up a special month on the romantic and relationship fronts, with an overlapping of the two that doesn't usually happen. 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 at this time of year, but this year with a lot of water having already passed under the bridge before it even returned. At the same time, the actions of Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion, is extending the footprint, turning what can be the most romantically charged weeks of any year into the most romantically charged months.

It was a day before the Sun returned last month that Mars left, but not before spending six and a half weeks breaking through roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined as he kick started things on the romantic front and fired up your romantic passions and fighting spirit. Mars may have left, but his legacy lives on. You also start the month with Mercury here, who until leaving on 7th October will be working to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page.

It is a week later that held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus will finally return on 14th October. This is not only the same day that Pluto turns direct in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, but Venus will spend her early days at a friendly aspect to the planet of change and transformation. This will see the spirit of romance and adventure come together in the middle of the month.

Venus will be here when the Moon not only returns to your romantic sector from 19th October to 22nd October, but as a New Moon and will be ready to take the reins when the Sun leaves a day later. Meanwhile, the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships returns to your relationship sector on 1st October, to begin the most important three months of the year on the relationship front.

Cancer

While the Sun won't return to your romantic sector until 23rd October, the point in the year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto matters of the heart and all things romantic, the month not only gets off to a romantically charged start, but it will stay that way all month and into next month. There is also a changing of the guard on 1st October that will change the dynamics, while making this a powerful day for drawing a line in the sand. This is the day that having returned in November 2024 for what is normally a three month transit through your romantic sector the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment finally leaves.

Juno has been working all year to give you the resolve to follow your heart and time to update your romantic resolutions. As she leaves, Juno will pass the torch to Mars, who had returned nine days earlier. As well as giving Mars something to fight for and a better sense of where to channel his romantic passions and fighting spirit, this is when the focus shifts from setting resolutions to putting this into practice.

Meanwhile, Mercury will not only return from 7th October to 30th October to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, but a retrograde phase will bring him back for a do over next month. Mars is in your romantic sector for the whole of October and while he will have left by the time Venus, the planet of love returns next month, by then he will have set things up for her to bring things home. Meanwhile, thanks to the Moon's return to your romantic sector from 22nd October to 24th October, there will be romantically charged lunar vibes to welcome the Sun when he returns on 23rd October.

Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your relationship sector, with the Moon here until 2nd October and then returning again from 27th October to 29th October, these will be important points in the month for checking in and becoming more emotionally engaged and aware.

Leo

The stars are not only dialling up a good month on the romantic and relationship fronts, but this sets things up for a positive end to the year. There has been no planetary activity in your romantic sector since earlier in the year, as is usually the case at this time of year and for a few hours, that will continue to be the case, until it isn't. On 1st October and in time to get the month off to a romantically charged start and held back by a retrograde phase the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment finally returns to your romantic sector.

While not a major player, Juno's return sets the scene for a romantically charged end to the year. Over the coming months, starting with Mercury's return on 30th October to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, a parade of planets will move through. This includes Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion, who are set to meet up in your romantic sector for the first time in 19 years in December.

From the start, Juno returns with the resolve to follow your heart and to start updating your romantic resolutions before the rest of the planets return. Juno will not only spend her first five days at a friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams in an adventurous part of your chart, but to a Full Moon there on 7th October, bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together. The same will happen when the Moon moves through your romantic sector from 24th October to 25th October.

Meanwhile, as the last planet to move through Leo this year, when Venus left last month, with no more planets to clash with Pluto in your relationship sector, this took the pressure off your relationships while leaving you with a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Venus and Pluto will meet again this month, but under different circumstances. Venus will return to your communication sector on 14th October to begin her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice, a few hours before Pluto turns direct on the same day.

Virgo

In what is another big month on the relationship front, but with no planetary activity in your romantic sector until December, once again it is the Moon's monthly visits that are key to keeping the spirit of romance alive. The Moon will not only start the month in your romantic sector, but at a friendly aspect to Venus, the planet of love in Virgo. This will be the Moon's only visit while Venus is in your sign and while she is working to update your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations for the coming year.

Until these romantically charged lunar vibes run their course on 2nd October, they need to have your attention. The Moon will come full circle from 27th October to 29th October, but by then Venus will be gone, making it even more important to give love a chance while these romantically charged lunar vibes move through. The Moon will make its monthly visit to your relationship sector from 4th October to 6th October, something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware.

Here, the Moon won't be on his own, connecting with the North Node and Saturn as it moves through. With Saturn having retrograded back in at the start of last month and not turning direct until later next month, but the North Node looking to the future, this is a chance to take advantage of both. Meanwhile, it is later in the month that on 22nd October, like Saturn who also left earlier in the year, Neptune will retrograde back into your relationship sector.

This is a day before the Sun's return to your communication sector and with Mars here all month and Mercury, the planet of communication from 7th October to 30th October, with wall to wall support from the communication gods from the start. While the asteroid Juno will leave your communication sector on 1st October, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships, will leave you with the resolve and means to keep the communication lines open.

Libra

While there is continuous planetary activity on the romantic and relationship fronts all year, nothing is ever static, either because of changes by the immediate planets involved or by the different relationships formed by constantly moving faster planets. This will be the case on both fronts. Thanks to the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships, the month gets off to an exceptionally good start on the relationship front.

On 1st October, Juno will return to spend the next three months in your communication sector, on the same day that Neptune moves into his final three weeks in your relationship sector. Juno and Neptune will spend the first five days of the month locked into a friendly aspect, with the queen of commitment and the planet of dreams coming together with the resolve and the motivation to get the communication lines open on the relationship front, just days before a Full Moon in your relationship sector on 7th October. Neptune will retrograde back out on 22nd October, but Juno will stay on to support the remaining three planets for the rest of the year, with more resources arriving in that time.

This includes Mercury, the planet of communication's return on 30th October and Mars' return next month. Meanwhile, while the whole month is romantically charged, it will be a month of two halves, with the first half steeped in romantic nostalgia before an abrupt shift ends that and shifts the focus onto the future. That abrupt change will take place on 14th October and it starts with Venus, the planet of love's departure from a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and return to Libra, ending her nostalgic trip down love's memory lane.

It is just a few hours later that Pluto will turn direct in your romantic sector, with the planets of love and change then spending the next few days at a friendly aspect. When the Moon moves through your romantic sector from 2nd October to 4th October, there will still be a strong sense of romantic nostalgia in the air and focus on the past.

Scorpio

With Uranus not returning to your relationship sector until next month, apart from the Moon's monthly visit, the focus this month is on matters of the heart, where on the romantic front there are a lot of exciting developments. The Moon will make its monthly visit to your relationship sector from 8th October to 10th October, something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware. With Uranus retrograding back in on 8th November, this will be a month before his return and with the Moon able to squeeze in another visit before then.

Meanwhile, it has been a month since Saturn retrograded back into your romantic sector on 1st September, with a friendly aspect to the asteroid Juno in Scorpio towards the end of last month having already brought the queen of commitment and the planet with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes together. With Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos in Scorpio all month, Mercury returning on 7th October, the Sun on 23rd October and Venus, the planet of love next month, that support will continue. Meanwhile, while having the North Node in your romantic sector is keeping one eye on the future, with Saturn in retrograde motion, a lot of focus is on the past.

The Moon will be able to capture both, while forming a friendly aspect to Mars as it moves through your romantic sector from 4th October to 6th October. An alignment with the North Node and Saturn and a friendly aspect to Mars will add a mix of nostalgia, anticipation and passion to these romantically charged lunar vibes. That will only deepen as the month progresses with Venus, the planet of love returning to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 14th October to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane and Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams, retrograding back into your romantic sector on 22nd October.

Sagittarius

Even though there has been continuous planetary activity on the romantic front for years and on the relationship front for the majority of the year, nothing is ever static and there is not only change in the air, but the love and relationship gods are dialling up an important month on both fronts. However, the real action is on the romantic front and especially in the first seven days of the month. It begins on 1st October, when the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment not only returns to Sagittarius, but straight into a friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams, just as he moves into his final three weeks in your romantic sector.

Juno and Neptune will spend the next five days at a friendly aspect, giving you the resolve to follow your heart, while until retrograding back out on 22nd October, the doors are open to the past and second chances. It is just as this is starting to separate that the Moon will not only move through your romantic sector from 6th October to 8th October, but as the most romantically charged Full Moon of 2025. The love gods are throwing everything they have into Neptune's final weeks in your romantic sector, as well as support for the three planets that will stay on for the rest of the year and until the planet of hopes and dreams returns in January.

Meanwhile, as Uranus moves into his last full month in your relationship sector before retrograding back out, it is not only with the support of Pluto in your communication sector, but from the Moon's two visits. The Moon will move through your communication sector from 2nd October to 4th October, aligning with Pluto and forming a friendly aspect to Uranus. With both in retrograde motion, this will be especially good for giving your emotional responses, relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.

It is a week later that the Moon's return to your relationship sector from 10th October to 12th October will bring a chance to check in, while also connecting with Uranus and Pluto again.

Capricorn

Until Uranus retrogrades back into your romantic sector next month, where until leaving in July he had been for six years, it is the Moon's monthly visits that are keeping the spirit of romance alive. This makes the time when the Moon is here an important point in the month for making the spirit of romance a priority. The Moon will move through from 8th October to 10th October, with some additional help to make these some of the most romantically charged days of the month.

This will be the Moon's only visit while Venus, the planet of love is in an adventurous part of your chart and leaving on 14th October, they will be able to help each other out. A friendly aspect to Venus as the Moon moves through will give these romantically charged lunar vibes extra potency, while at the same time making it easier to get the most out of her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together. Meanwhile, Jupiter is slowing ahead of his retrograde turn in your relationship sector next month, while support on the relationship front is growing by the day.

While the month begins with the Moon in Capricorn and a clash with Jupiter might push some buttons, it will be gone by 2nd October, allowing you to move into the new month with a sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you from the start. Two days later, the Moon will not only be in your communication sector, but when it moves through from 4th October to 6th October, it will align with Saturn here and form a friendly aspect to Jupiter in your relationship sector, just as they are becoming a tighter team. The Moon will also connect with both when it returns to your relationship sector from 12th October to 14th October, something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged, while once again bringing Jupiter and Saturn together.

Meanwhile, your relationships will get another boost when Neptune retrogrades back into your communication sector on 22nd October.

Aquarius

While Venus left your relationship sector last month, ending all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year, as the last planet to return and the last to leave, the planet of love was the perfect planet to bring things home. While Venus was only here for a few weeks, she was bringing home a journey that had begun with Mars' return in November 2024. Venus also connected with the planets in your communication sector as she moved through, something that the rest of the planets that passed through your relationship sector this year also did.

Planetary activity on the relationship front may have ended for the year, but the communication support is still there. Helping with that is a friendly aspect between the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams, in your communication sector from 1st October to 5th October. This will get a further boost when the Moon not only moves through from 6th October to 8th October, but as a Full Moon.

This will be a chance to get the communication lines open ahead of the Moon's return to your relationship sector from 14th October to 17th October. Meanwhile, until retrograding back out of your romantic sector next month, Uranus is not only keeping the spirit of romance alive, but the doors open to the past. As the Moon moves through your romantic sector from 10th October to 12th October, there will be a lot of romantic nostalgia to tap into.

However, it is a few days later that things will take an exciting turn when Venus, the planet of love not only returns to an adventurous part of your chart on 14th October, but straight into a friendly aspect to Uranus. This is something that the Sun, Mercury and Mars all did when they returned over recent months. However, as the planet of love this will not only get Venus' mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure off to an empowered start, but she works through the laws of attraction while Uranus works through the laws of synchronicity, with a chance to bring the two together.

Pisces

It is Venus and Jupiter, the planets of love and luck that are making this a good month on the romantic and relationship fronts, though with a rise in urgency on one front and a drop in urgency on the other. The drop in urgency is on the romantic front, with Jupiter slowing down ahead of a retrograde turn next month that will see him shift his focus onto the past and onto holding the doors open to the past and second chances. Less than four months into what Jupiter is working to make a lucky year for love, he is in no hurry and is ready to savour the support that he is getting from the planets as they return to an adventurous part of your chart.

This includes from Mars, who will not only spend the whole month here, but as the month progresses, will draw closer to Jupiter, bringing the planets of passion and luck into harmony and a rise in a mix of romance, passion and adventure. This is something the Moon will enhance when it moves through your romantic sector from 12th October to 14th October. While a friendly aspect between Mars and Jupiter won't peak until later in the month, the Moon will connect with both as it moves through and during what will also be an important few days on the relationship front.

It is on the relationship front that there is more urgency, for when Venus, the planet of love leaves your relationship sector on 14th October, this will end all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year. Held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus was late to return and will therefore be late to leave, with the first two weeks of the month a chance to bring home what Mars had begun back in June. The Moon won't return for its monthly visit to your relationship sector until after Venus has left, with its return from 17th October to 19th October a valuable chance to check in.

These monthly visits will help to keep you on track and connected until the planets come around again next year.
