This is a strange and even paradoxical month, Libra, especially with the recent late Virgo New Moon at 29° and thus on the very edge of your sign. This stimulates your sense of identity in transition, and asks, as you seek to discover who, indeed, you really are, that you accommodate also fanciful realms of other-dimensionality and deep inner understanding. You may be all along suspecting that these are slightly divergent parts of the same exact thing. The day after that recent New Moon was, of course, the Libra Equinox, when the Sun entered your sign and your season officially began. There was then a grand trine in Air, bringing in Uranus, Pluto, and the Sun, along with resultant feelings of rebellion against the status quo of your life. Your self-expression then entered an important shift of focus that still holds true for the next three weeks of the current October month. Your twelfth sector of unconscious process is also featured this month, along with the possibility of inner wounding that might additionally arise at this timing, perhaps in connection with relationship issues coming further into the light. Your current sense of key partnerships in your life is many-hued, with commitment and limitation featured, and yet with also a nebulous feeling of either idealized illusion or even self-deception. There may be a lack of limits and boundaries to go along with that. Another feeling of extra-dimensionality is somehow associated with important partners, and could become magnified in the timing of the Aries Full Moon. This lunation may bring further to the surface of your awareness important ideas of self and other. A week later, the Last Quarter Moon of the 13th includes images of career success and, as well, the shadow of success. On October 21st, the significant juncture of the New Moon in your sign brings to a head issues of identity and partnership transformation that you have found yourself engaged in over these last few months of the 2025 year.
The following was written by our guest columnist Elodie St-Onge Aubut of Ninth House Astrology
The Virgo New Moon and partial solar eclipse from September 21st has set the stage for the first twenty days of the October month, and for you the sweeping changes brought on by this eclipse could relate to the ways in which you participate with your life and relate to your feelings of evolving identity. Important changes have been occurring in relation to your health, your routines and the ways you inhabit your body, perhaps forcing you to reconsider some of your priorities. There could be an element of doing things you don’t want to do right now so that you can have more time to focus on what you love down the road. You could be preoccupied with the ways in which you spend your time and your energy as important changes are occurring within you. Your desire to find more efficient ways of doing things and also more ease in your life could be leading you to reconsider old patterns and habits you had taken for granted and feeling good in your body could be the number one priority on your list at this time.
Old habits die hard as they say and the first week of October could emphasize the indulgences and secret pleasures that make your life a little sweeter as Venus in Virgo forms a conjunction with the South Node on the 4th.
By the 6th of October, the Aries Full Moon culminates in your relational sector on the same day which brings potential relationship flash-points. You may not be willing to compromise on your desires and it could be difficult to find common ground with others if you or someone else is holding on too tightly. Releasing your grip may not be in the cards however with Mars in Scorpio ruling over this Full Moon and you may have to stand in your powers to get what you want.
On the 6th also, Mercury leaves your sign for Scorpio and immediately gets down to business forming a square with Pluto in Aquarius. Things are getting spicy ?
Your sign ruled by the planet Venus and you are first and foremost a lover of symmetry, temperance and fairness. With Venus transiting your twelfth solar sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work, there is an underground movement for you in these similar directions although more subtle and undercover. Venus is also busy during the second week of October, making a positive aspect with Jupiter in Cancer on the 7th and 8th while additionally aspecting Chiron and the new 21st century planet Eris, located in your partnership sector, which could therefore lead you into important recognition as well of inner wounding, perhaps in connection with your relationships. If so, this in turn may provide an excellent opportunity for healing to some extent these kinds of ancient issues arising within you.
From the 10th to the 11th, Venus then arrives at an opposition with Saturn in Pisces which could give you pause in what you are attempting, or perhaps lend you the extra stamina to dive deeper into the hidden area of your psyche.
On October 13th, the Last Quarter Moon in Cancer, and conjunct Jupiter, is square the Sun in your sign, and there could be a collision of different perspectives that takes place, with Jupiter’s positive influence also strongly felt. Venus on the edge of your sign is closely opposed by Neptune in Aries; A vision, an idea, an inspiration or a muse could be the fuel that keeps you going. On October 13th also, Venus comes into a supportive trine, lasting several days, with Uranus in Gemini and Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius or your sector of creative inspiration and projects that bring you satisfaction or joy, accentuating changes in this area of life.
On October 21st the New Moon at a late degree in your sign brings really beautiful energy for intentions surrounding your body, your health and your well-being. You’ve likely done your fair share of surrendering in the past few years and as you have been letting go of old identities, you’ve also made space for new ways of being in the world to thrive within you. Venus, your ruler, is co-present in Libra while Jupiter in Cancer forms a square to this lunation offering new hopes and new visions for what you want to see grow in the coming month, and beyond.
The transformational factor of Pluto, squaring this New Moon, plus newly in direct motion, and in your creativity sector, lends weight to the changes that are upon you now, as you enter what might be described as a new evolutionary phase.
On October 23rd, the Sun enters Scorpio where it could emphasize your resources and finances in the coming month while Neptune re-entering Pisces around the same time could bring back an energetic framework you were working with at the beginning of the year. Healing modalities may be in the cards for you and it could be that you are able to integrate more seamlessly things you’ve been working on into your routine or find solutions for longstanding problems.
The last week of October brings a grand trine in Water between Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces which culminates in the First Quarter Moon of the 29th and gets the train moving. Although Mercury in Scorpio is already moving through its shadow phase aka the retrograde degrees it will be retrograding through in late November, you can still benefit from the influx of planets in Scorpio to get your ducks in a row, especially regarding financially or resource-wise.
Many options and possibilities could be presenting themselves at months end as Mercury is in the beginning of Sagittarius in this First Quarter Moon, forming a sextile with Pluto in Aquarius. The real work now will be to sort out the signal from the noise and be deliberate about what you decide to spend your energy on in the coming weeks to make your vision a reality.
