Aquarius Horoscope for October 2020

This is another rather intense month for you, Aquarius, with dramas of exchange of ideas, and of learning, related to both your public and your private sphere. You are taking ancient wounding into account as you communicate in a manner that goes far beyond the intellectual, and leaning into your inner world in an almost graphically sensual manner. This is just as this sensitive and subtle realm is moving in unusual directions. Your work in the world – and also your basic belief systems – are under review and, ultimately, revision, especially over the second half of the month following the beginning of the Mercury Retrograde period and the Libra New Moon of October 16th. You are continuing to explore your depths, and reviewing your options, seeking a better match between inner and outer. You are feeling into a powerful instinct for action consistent with your evolving worldview, as you attempt to arrive at a decision process that is logical in a larger sense than simplistic rationality would seem to dictate.

The month of October opens with a Full Moon in Aries shining her light on your exchanges, the ways in which you have been utilizing social-media, and more extensively how you communicate with your entourage. You may have become increasingly aware of the compulsive ways in which you utilize the internet and felt the need to reevaluate your usage. You may also be in the midst of a big written project and it could be time to take stock of where you are before you can proceed ahead. The Full Moon may also simply bring to light your immediate surroundings, the back and forth you make everyday to get to work, and questions surrounding efficiency. You could feel the pressure of a time constraint while also needing to apply yourself diligently. The Full Moon in Aries conjunct Chiron may also bring up recent communication issues to be resolved. If there has been bickering and arguments in your exchanges, it may be time to address it. In summary, your motivations for doing something may be changing and it's a good time to acknowledge where you stand.

Venus enters Virgo on October 2nd where she brings questions of shared resources and intimate partnerships.

Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus on October 7th, which brings up a work versus home scenario that might be in need of adjustments.

Time constraints and daily routine continues to come up, in the days leading to the Last Quarter Moon in Cancer on the 9th. This is a somewhat confusing time, when you are aware of hidden dimensions to your inner experience. This second weekend of October could find you juggling career responsibilities, partners, children, and personal projects. Your ambitions could be catching up with you forcing you to prioritize.

Mercury officially stations retrograde in Scorpio on the 13th and will be moving retrograde until November 3rd, or even two weeks later into mid-November, when you take the retrograde shadow into account.

The desires of a partner may also be influencing your decisions, so that you might not be able to ignore that side of the equation.

The New Moon in Libra on October 16th represents a powerful reset for you. Your desire for greater autonomy might be on the increase, and there could be new forms wanting to emerge.

With the New Moon squaring Saturn and Pluto in combination, the weight of your intentions at this time could carry you further than you think. This Libra New Moon hints at a teaching or educational journey that would bring you greater responsibilities, which you are now ready to assume.
