October 2021 Monthly Forecast
Welcome to my favoroite month my Darkling’s!
October 2021 is a month of a lot of changes but at the same time there is so much happening, this month and at the same time this month is setting us up for some big changes that lie ahead with the upcoming eclipse season. We finally can see some real movement and progress, especially after the second half of October. If you have felt stuck or in a “holding pattern” expect some dynamic shifts both internally and externally. In October we ALSO have a record of 4 planets resuming direct motion. Mercury is still retrograde in the first half of the month, but the good news is that Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter all go direct this month.Things will become clearer as we move through the month, and a veil is lifted when Mercury goes direct on October 18th, bringing a sense of clarity and relief.
This month wants to remind you to be gentle and compassionate with yourself and your journey. This is always good advice but even more so with the current craziness of this world. Being graceful and grateful never goes out of style. October 2021 wants to remind you that tough times don’t last but tough people do! This month is here to awaken you to new relationship cycles, propel your plans and dreams into action(after many delays) and to remind you of the sacred cycle of life and your ability to always transform and begin again.
If you don’t see these shifts in October, hold your horses cause November + December are sure to deliver.
October 1st-October 3rd, 2021 – Sun Opposite Chiron
From October 1st to October 3rd, 2021 Sun and Mars in Libra oppose Chiron(at 10° Aries). Hard aspects between the Sun, Mars and Chiron trigger our feelings of inadequacy, and may challenge the expression of our yang energy.
We may feel unworthy, crippled and exposed – as if there is something wrong about who we are (Sun), what drives us and what we want (Mars).
Of course, like with any Chiron transit, this is also our opportunity to transcend these wounds. Who we are matters, since we can only be here for a reason. What we want matters, otherwise the seed wouldn’t be planted. But we have to come to terms with the possible rejection that may result from putting ourselves out there, and being vulnerable.
October 6th, 2021 – New Moon In Libra & Pluto Goes Direct
On October 6th, 2021 we have a New Moon at 13° Libra. The New Moon is conjunct Mars.
Wherever 13 degrees of Libra falls in your natal chart is where you can expect to see these new beginnings and progress occur. Make sure you take advantage of this very potent, manifesting energy.
The New Moon in Libra is here to bring in a new chapter within relationship dynamics and contracts of all kinds. If you have been dealing with any unfair or unbalanced relationships, both in business or in your personal life, expect some kind of shift and new chapter. This is a great lunar cycle to focus on diplomacy and peaceful resolution for all involved. With the supportive conjunction to Mars, this will add some heat and a directive tone to creating harmony within such partnerships. This is also a pretty sexy but feisty combo so watch any passive aggressive tendencies. Finding the balance of passivity and action will be particularly important for this lunar cycle.
Pluto goes direct at 24° Capricorn. If in the last 5 months Pluto retrograde gave us the opportunity to work in the shadow of our subconscious, when Pluto goes direct we want to bring this awareness of our inner transformation into the outer realm as well.
October 7th, 2021 – Venus Enters Sagittarius
On October 7th, 2021 Venus leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius. This transition from Scorpio to Venus is the transition from digging a whole in the ground, to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Venus in Scorpio has been an excellent opportunity to work with our feelings at a more subconscious level and do some uncomfortable, but necessary, shadow work.
But as much as there is great value in understanding what’s in the empty part of the glass, acknowledging that the glass is never really empty comes to give a whole new meaning to our existence – Venus in Sagittarius will propel us to hope, dream big, and get us out there into the wild wild world.
October 9th, 2021 – Sun Conjunct Mercury Conjunct Mars
We get the opportunity to work with 1 area of our psyche – for example our thinking (Mercury), feelings (Venus), actions (Mars) etc.
But when our thoughts (Mercury) also align with our actions (Mars) a very potent manifesting energy is put into motion. We become intentional about what we want to create. We walk the talk.
October 10th, 2021 – Saturn Goes Direct
On October 10th, 2021 Saturn goes direct at 6° Aquarius. Now that we have understood what is no longer working in our life, Saturn’s direct motion is our opportunity to make the necessary adjustments. While Saturn was retrograde in Aquarius over the last several months, we could have felt particularly stuck on making solid plans and creating any kind of concrete decisions.
Now that it is turning direct, we can expect anything that was a struggle or just stalled in our lives to begin to move and produce results. Any delay on business matters in particular will now begin to shift and we could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Karma also is ruled by Saturn so whatever work you put in during this retrograde or on the reverse, whatever you avoided, will now start to return, for good or bad.
October 18th, 2021 – Jupiter & Mercury Goes Direct
We have quite a busy day astrologically. Jupiter goes direct at 22° Aquarius. This is our chance to “get it right” and find the driving purpose behind the area of our life (house) where Aquarius sits in our chart. Many could have felt less hopeful or just more skeptical relating to group dynamics and friendships. You will have to look at where 22-29 degrees of Aquarius falls in your natal chart to get a more specific view but in general Jupiter retrograde often promotes a lack of enthusiasm and even “luck” in certain areas. Folks with Sagittarius or Pisces dominant in their charts often feel his retrograde cycle the most as he rules both signs. With Jupiter now direct in the sign of the water bearer, our sense of optimism, hope and travel/educational pursuits become clearer and move forward.
….and the really good news, Mercury goes direct as well, at 10° Libra. Many relationships could have gone through a few stormy patches and our plans could have been delayed around business and travel matters. You will have to look at where 10-25 degrees of Libra falls in your natal chart to get a more specific view. With Mercury now direct in Libra negotiations and partnerships will begin to sort themselves out and we can finally see movement in business matters and around important objectives and goals. If there was a lack of harmony within certain connections, a sense of peace and tranquility can now be restored and established.
Both Mercury and Jupiter rule our thinking processes – both Mercury and Jupiter turning direct on the same day is quite something – so you can definitely expect clarity and answers. A veil will be lifted and it will become clear where you stand.
October 20th, 2021 – Full Moon In Aries (Ask me for an extended forecast during this time)
On October 20th, we have the dynamic and get your ass moving Full Moon. The Full Moon in Aries is opposite Mars and square Pluto, so it’s an explosive one for sure.
Whatever has been brewing in the first 2 weeks of the lunar cycle will reach a climax. This Full Moon will shake us to the core – and (especially if you have planets in the last decan of cardinal signs) you want to be very mindful of what you do with what emerges from this.
Full Moons are always a time where emotions are running high and the energy of the cosmos is ripe with manifestations, culmination and endings. Wherever 27 degrees of Aries falls in your chart is where you are sure to see some fireworks and passionate displays of emotions. The Full Moon in Aries is here to conjure up some passion and excitement to our lives. Any pent up feelings related to how ourselves and what is important in our lives will brought up and many folks could become quite relentless in expressing themselves. The moon doesn’t love to be full in Aries due to the fact that the Moon is a gentle and more feminine based cosmic force. Aries is a masculine sign that likes to make things happen and be in CHARGE. This could lead to some friction of whether or not we should act upon these feelings of passion or hold back. Many won’t be able to hold back so watch out for the tendency to lash out and try to adopt the Sun in Libra’s opposing energy of diplomacy and tact. Won’t be easy but it will be necessary as no grown adult looks good throwing a tantrum. Expressing our ideals with enthusiasm and standing up for ourselves is favored but again remember to still remain tactful and respectful.
October 23rd, 2021 – Sun In Scorpio
Welcome to the Scorpio season! We all have areas of life that need pruning or reinventing – and when the Sun is in Scorpio we can become intentional about what we want to change in our lives – and then take the necessary action.
Expect to go deep with yourself during these next 30 days. Wherever Scorpio lies in your chart is where you are sure to feel this intensity of emotions and to purge and replenish your personal power. There is nothing light or “a walk in the park” about Scorpio energy. The beautiful thing about these next 30 days will be the psychological and emotional growth if you are willing to face the “darkness” and to embrace the death/rebirth cycle of transformation.
October 30th, 2021 – Mars In Scorpio
Speaking about taking the necessary action. October saved us the best for last. On October 30th, Mars enters its domicile sign, Scorpio. Mars is the planet of action, and Scorpio gives it the depth and drive to conduct this Martian impulse to achieve whatever we set our sights on.
Blessed be, in love & light Astro~Mia
