“Send love to your fear and it will disappear” ~ Phil Good
Happy accidents, is there such a thing?
I believe so. Synchronicity shows us the connection between the subjective and the objective. In October, we will be privy to a very different energy sweeping across the community, making us consider what the signs are truly, trying to show us. Maybe it’s the cool and calming energy of Libra season, or maybe it’s the fact that from late October we have more planets moving in direct motion than we have had all year. A narrative of peace is re-instated - as everything with a RE- in front of it is introduced back into the big picture. Re-imagine, re-cailberate, re-do, re-pay, re-cuperate. It will feel good, like a long awaited re-union - one that may bridge together two individuals, or perhaps, just mind and heart. It begins with a Libra New Moon on the 6th, merging with the Sun, Mercury and Mars - all in the sign of the scales. Reminding us as a New Moon always does, that the universe speaks to those willing to cultivate its messages and events without judgement. Libra holds power in seemingly ordinary events, of which we can all agree, in life, there are many of. The vibrations that this air sign (yang) emits is rather masculine which can take some people by surprise, considering Libra’s ruler is Venus. I mention this because masculine energy is seen as an outward representation of expression - it is logical, stoic, aware and lively. We will need to harness all these qualities throughout October, and transmute them by being in ‘perfect’ balance. Masculine energy is characterised by doing, it acts - and then rationalises. Libra also infuses the theme of relationships into the month of October, and we will all benefit from compassion, care and collaboration. Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter are all retrograde at the beginning of the month, with Pluto, Jupiter and Mercury peeling off to station direct early on in the piece.
Powerful Pluto stations direct in Capricorn on the 6th, after months retrograde. Since late April, we have had to contend with the ‘shadow self’ bringing gradual upheaval into our everyday life. It manifested as ego, narcissism, betrayal, judgement and self criticism. Pluto cracks open transformation, but only through drama and chaos. Retrogrades are nothing unusual, and each year Pluto appears to travel backwards for up to 5 months. Since 2008 and until 2024, with Pluto in Capricorn, we have had to involve ourselves with much harsher concepts and realities - because the goat is a self professed ‘no bullshit’ type of character. Pluto in Capricorn is a builder - inherently masculine and disciplined. Represented through determination, this energy does not stop, even when the going gets tough. Pluto is regeneration - as well as elimination. In Capricorn, Pluto direct can manifest in society through law and order, propaganda, rules and regulations. The Plutonian influence acknowledges and appreciates late hours at the office, replacing the good with the great. On the 7th, Venus moves into bold and optimistic Sagittarius - igniting the fires of love and lust in almost everyone. We will all be encouraged to try something new, go out on a limb, spice up our lives and broaden our horizons. There can be an urge, a hunger.. for sex and intimacy. Sagittarius has many positive imprints to take away from its high flying vibrations. It can act as a refresh for many ‘down and out’ partnerships or situations. Most importantly with this cycle, one should think twice and then act.
On the 10th, Saturn joins Pluto by stationing direct in Aquarius- liberating us from the conversation Saturn began. We have a chance to get rid of things in our lives that are no longer working, as we focus on and strengthen the relationships in which we feel purpose. Aquarius is a big picture thinker, and not as serious or unsympathetic as Saturn. Yet, Saturn brings glorious gifts and rewards, but they come at a much higher price and are usually rather delayed. In Aquarius, Saturn is dignified and social - involved with community and conscious of goals and dreams. Moving direct we can expect a very real responsibility looming, one in which we wish to improve our community and the collective narrative. Aquarius does not segregate - it hates to divide. Saturn in Aquarius therefore is about ‘all for one, one for all’. The notion of division will only get stronger as the government and media across the country try to dislodge the collective by fear-mongering and manipulating. Saturn in Aquarius will not put up with that, and we can expect instead to focus more on preserving the group and our sovereign rights. 8 days later, Jupiter also moves direct in Aquarius. The planet of expansion and growth, we have had an unusual back and forth occur between Jupiter jumping into both Pisces and Aquarius. Staying in the eccentric sign of Aquarius until the 28th of December, we will have more opportunities to tie up loose ends and get creative with how we embrace change. We can attract growth and luck in new and unconventional ways now - and often Jupiter is seen as an angel who has our back, even in the worst of times. With this trio, Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter stationing direct in the month of October, we can expect a lot more gas in our tanks. Claim what is right, not what you wish or imagine to be true. Forgiveness only flows to the surface when the cosmic love of the globe is activated in each and everyone of us. It may seem like a tall feat in these chaotic times, but really, all it requires is a little leap, a little leap of trust and authenticity.
Prayers of thanks are always good.
Mercury is still retrograde until mid-month (18th), and even after that we will have the post-shadow phase (until November 1st) to contend with. Relationship dramas re-swirl around our heart and head, and it can prove hard to decipher what someone is trying to say. Mercury in Libra can be coded and complex, and any action that depletes our sense of self is not really an act of service. When Libra truly understands this, in the context of Mercury, we can be blessed with many experiences that are of self-regenerative practice. A Full Moon in Aries arrives on the 20th / but for us here in Australia, is at its peak in the wee hours of the 21st. Opposing its axis point, the Sun in Libra, we are in for a dynamic shock/surprise. When the electromagnetics of these two signs meet up, amazing things happen. This lunation is known as a Blood Moon - mostly because Halloween falls close by. During Full Moon phases, all kinds of things reach a height, and the air can literally feel abuzz with emotion. In Aries, we can feel extra independent, as we merge our feminine to our divine masculine. In these moments of profound integration, Aries fills us with tremendous amounts of physical energy. On this date, we will be interested in intent, rather than results. We are intentional, alert - sending out signals we wish you’ll pick up. As with any Full Moon, culminations are around the corner - be weary of acting like everything’s OK, if it's not. The universe can get confused with your message and then not show up in the way you hope it does. Make space in your life for your true desire, speak it into reality. Spooky, Scorpio season begins on the 23rd - creating a force within our lives, presenting a very real yearning for passion, for power. It is in this space, you are being invited to reside in for the next 4 weeks. Diving into the deep water of Scorpio, we can feel competitive, controlling and jealous. Mars and Pluto will battle it out in a square, increasing the emotional energy tied to this sun cycle. And, it's not over yet… Mars enters Scorpio on the 30th - triggering anger or conflict. It will be important to gauge situations before reacting to them, and if you find yourself in conflict with someone, you may find it better to pause and reflect. Do you wish to engage with this battle? Do you have what it takes to back it up? Reality can feel far more spiritual than usual, as we welcome Halloween - when the veil between the dead and the living is especially thin. Wounds could/can be activated as the strings that bind us to the person next to us are pulled as if by some invisible force. Life is not as blindly mysterious as it appears, if you look closely, you will understand. All is as it should be.
Peace, Love and see you next month…..

Aries: March 21 - April 19
Are you irritated or just impulsive, Aries?! There is a tendency for you to project your own feelings onto others at this time, as you may not feel comfortable to face them ‘alone’. It’s quite evident that the month of October for you is all about people, community and relationships in which you find a personal sense of fulfilment. Since late September, Mercury has been retrograde for the very last time this year, in your opposite sign of Libra. Commitments are halted, and you don’t wish to rock the romance boat. This is partially due to the fact that Mercury is activating your 7th house - which only deals with the ‘real deal’ in terms of partnerships. You appreciate the gift of an extremely capable partner, who grants freedom and understanding. Yet, at times, you fail to extend the same virtues to those you love. Appearing more tyrannical - your temperament soars between highs and lows. Mercury in Libra will try and ease the kinks here, stabilising your feelings for someone special. A New Moon in Libra will merge with Mars (your ruler) also in this intimate 7th house on the 6th. There is great potential with a sidekick or a friend that you haven’t accepted until now, and you may have a greater alliance than you previously thought. The 7th house helps you learn to appreciate the people who try their best in your company (a Leo or Libra), by allowing them to do so.
Venus sits in your 9th house of wisdom most of the month, meaning you can feel especially spiritual or intuitive. Venus in sister-sign, Sagittarius (which actually rules the 9th house) can mesh well for you and be a truly catalysing force in these weeks to come. You will feel especially philosophical, perhaps even studying an unusual topic. The 9th house is also about communication, so there may be a tough conversation culminating or perspective changing. In your life, there may be a special type of synergy occurring when Jupiter stations direct on the 18th. In the friendly sign of Aquarius, your attention will turn more toward the community and collaborating. From the 19th, the pace quickens and business resumes as usual as Mercury stations direct. An authority figure may be asking a lot from you, yet you manage to meet expectations in the days leading up to your Full Blood Moon. Occurring in your sign on the 20th, this lunation is powerful and intense as it awakens your 1st house of image and personality. For you, this is like a personal ‘new year’ - with all eyes fixed on you. It can also serve as a warning message - are you expected to carry and fetch constantly for those around you, fixing up things while others sit back? You will ask yourself some personal questions now, and the responsibility to answer as truthfully as possible will rely solely on you. Finally, a Scorpio Sun moves into your 8th house of mystery and intimacy from the 23rd.
Dates to watch; 1st, 5th, 6th, 18th, 21st, 28th.
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
Tie up loose ends while you’ve still got the energy, Taurus. October brings about some truth, that during the course of your journey, you are exposed to and even, conditioned by, almost every traumatic situation you encounter. Ultimately it can warp your sense of reality - but reality is based on one’s own self beliefs, emotions and experiences - that is why from person to person ‘reality’ is so very different. For you, this month will revolve around the reality of ‘routine’. As a New Moon in Libra merges with the Sun and Mercury on the 6th, in your 6th house of health and responsibility. Be receptive to all the borrowed ideas you may be taking now in order to gain new knowledge, as this lunation will illuminate not the ‘good’ or the ‘bad’ but the authentic. Mercury is retrograde until the 18th (also in Libra) for you all month, again in your 6th house of inner wellness. This can bring confusion or delay, some sort of awkward moment where despite trying hard to get better, you stumble upon an old wound or mistake. Commitments can feel heavy or burdensome, but there is potential to improve future prospects. Being emotionally clear is a strategy of the 6th house, that defines correct emotions by remaining concise & calm, despite the storms in your life. Fixed signs such as yourself have a real chance of opening new doors now, as Jupiter brings tremendous good luck to your house of achievement when it stations direct on the 18th.
You may be driven by an urge to cram as much into life as possible - much of this type of thinking could have to do with the ongoing covid crisis. However, time is not running out - and your fears are based on something else. Venus moves into the mysterious 8th house on the 8th, helping to deepen intimate bonds and love life. It can heighten emotions, painting a somewhat misleading outcome that can’t be reliably followed. A Gemini, Leo or Sagittarius may be on the receiving end of this matter. Self-care is important here, so if you’re juggling everyone's emotions, give yourself time to put yours first. Don’t be afraid to own your power, as well as your pleasure. Mars is going to be in your sensual house of relationships at the end of the month, until mid December, helping steer your love life in the right direction. There are mutual benefits coming through collaborating with someone, instead of peeling off and going at it alone. Saturn meets Jupiter in direct motion, in the airy sign of Aquarius by the time the 18th rolls around. What appears obvious to you may seem incomprehensible to others, so you may need to ask yourself first: “Is this something people are ready to hear?”. The Full Moon in Aries on the 20th will light up your private 12th house, as it opposes the Sun in Libra. You can spark significant paradigm shifts in your working and personal environment, as you bring attention to some sort of health matter. To rest, reflect and cozy up will be paramount in your mind now, as you step back from society and all its overwhelming background noise. If you feel a tad overwhelmed, pinpoint what must be done and let everything else fall behind you, until you’re ready to pick it back up.
Dates to watch; 7th, 12th, 21st, 23rd, 30th.
Gemini: May 21 - June 20
An exceptionally social month, Gemini. As you settle into your new normal, your ruler Mercury, retrogrades for final time this year, in Libra and your joyful 5th house of creation. October can entice you to undergo radical transformation that, at the best of times, feels like uncomfortable growing pains. Many of you may be finalising house, business and money matters - perhaps even relocating to a new job or state. You seem to also be making waves in publishing, PR or communication ruled careers. A New Moon in Libra harmonises with you deeply, as the air energy accentuates the good vibes in your life. Arriving in your inspirational, fertile 5th house on the 6th of the month, it’s time to put some focus toward your love life. Stimulation occurs from someone who is just as analytical as you are, perhaps another Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius. You recommit yourself to the idea of something, igniting passion (in others) as you go along. Venus then moves into your house of love on the 8th - confirming that whatever’s going on in your partnerships is especially potent right now. Although you are a highly capable performer, making people see what they want too, someone close to you see’s past the projection that pretends like everything is OK.
You are in a position with Venus in Sagittarius to really charm those with great influence or power - but you must be clear on who you lead and what you teach are in accord with what resonates, in you, not them. Your ruler, Mercury has been retrograde since late September, and will turn direct on the 18th, the same day Jupiter moves direct in Aquarius. Once the 18th arrives, you will feel more allowed to ‘go out and get it’. Professionally, you are yet to prove yourself - but this latter part of the month, will do a damn good job of celebrating you and where you’re at in your career. Everything flows easier when the big 3 planets move direct - especially relationships with other people. The power of intention is high and the energy is building toward the anticipated Aries Blood Moon, that arrives on the 20th, in your 11th house of friendship. This cements that October is all about people, and how you adapt to those around you. Emotions run hot in this fire sign, and this Moon can feel like a cry for help - especially if someone has been ignoring your calls/messages. You may network and reach a climax point in regards to the ladder you climb in terms of reputation. Either way, the energy is a bit tweaked out, and you’re either getting recognised or overlooked - there is no middle ground. Mars will join your 6th house of wellbeing at the end of the month, preferring to plan out the day and stick to a routine. The 6th house provides a platform for good nutrition, and approaches any ailments from a holistic point of view.
Dates to watch; 6th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 27th.
Cancer: June 21 - July 22
There’s no time for ambivalence, Cancer. Especially because there is so much planetary activity this month showcasing the need to go forward. A gateway to an unseen world opens up late October, but you’ll only come to know if you stay still and peaceful. Peaceful with where you’re at momentarily, with who you’re there with and with what you came for. Mercury retrograde continues most of the month in your 4th house of home and family, pouring attention into something quite private and personal. Things can feel as if they keep getting rehashed, even though in your mind, it’s time to put a situation to rest. In reality, everyone may just need to lighten up a little! A retrograde in the 4th house means you are meditating on what you want around you going forward, in terms of family dynamics, housing and children. A New Moon in Libra doubles up on the emotion in that same cycle on the 6th of the month. Merging with the Sun, Mercury and Mars, the 4th house stirs up activity like reorganisation or spring cleaning. There can be a sense of revival in passing down old family stories between siblings, something that ties you closer together.
A few days later, Venus enters Sagittarius and your love life heats up. You may be putting yourself out there in terms of romance, and it's a welcome change from being the one people chase all the time. For some, they may be feeling betrayed, mostly by spirit, if something quite personal hasn’t been fulfilled. Situations such as an ex not coming back like you hoped they would, or perhaps a new partner not adhering to your every whim can feel extremely frustrating for you. In effect, you are a hoarder of emotions, thoughts and previous experiences, and you give nothing up unless you try hard to. In Sagittarius, clearing and releasing can happen on a physical, mental and emotional layer, because it is the element of fire, purifying your life with its tenacity. If you are single, Mars pursues this same theme until December 13th, building on the charisma and magnetism in the air. Creativity is fuelled further on the 18th, when Jupiter stations direct in Aquarius, meeting with Saturn. Trying to control or hold onto the course of things tightly will be extremely frustrating over the next two months, as Jupiter reminds you that ‘power’ is just an illusion. On the 20th, a Full Moon in Aries opposes the Libra Sun, occurring in your 10th house of achievement. You may be building a business or working within a large organisation. In some way, you are ‘performing’. If things feel uncomfortable, know it’s a part of the internal growth.
Dates to watch; 6th, 10th, 20th, 23rd.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
Make it so, Leo. Even if September left you feeling as though you were in a rut, the new, constructive energy of October can spark up many great ideas. A master is someone who knows all the rules and can recognise them for what they are, just rules. The whole game is optimal to how you decide to play it. The month continues with Mercury retrograde in your 3rd house of communication. Mercury rules the 3rd house of intelligence and information, so it can feel especially overwhelming! Something in your life is in its completion phase. There are plenty of ideas coming up for collaborations and projects as you work together with those around you. A New Moon in Libra (6th) joins the Sun, Mars and Mercury here in the chatty 3rd house and pays close attention to how you perceive what’s going on around you. Is it mind over matter? For some of you, it may be hard to verbalise why exactly you’re feeling anxious, restless or unsettled. On an unconscious leave, you are aware that the dimensions of your reality are changing, and this has a lot to do with the ‘self-help’ work you’ve been doing throughout this year. Your thoughts and emotions are becoming much more balanced and in alignment with one another.
Venus is in your romance sector from the 8th, providing passion by the bucket load. Celebrate those who make you feel seen and understood. In your life, some people may not be coming to the same level of understanding as you in the same way, nor at the same speed - this may make you feel unsure or as if they’re not your people. Take time to marinate on this and don’t get on your high horse if you feel like you’ve reached a peak someone else hasn’t. Instead, attempt to give love to those at different levels of awareness. A dimensional shift is certainly coming. Shelve making big decisions until after the 18th, when Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have all turned direct! The pace of life quickens after this date and can help rebuild rapport with authority figures or partners. Pay attention to the type of connections you now make as they can come in very handy before the end of the year. A Full Moon in Aries occurs in your adventurous 9th house on the 20th, helping you take something to the next level. You are activating a spiritual element in your life, and truly paving a new + improved intention for the future. To be honest, many of you have come out of the woods in some area of your life - whether it is choosing to live more modestly, disengage with certain addictions or move on from certain people - big changes have been completed.
Dates to watch; 3rd, 7th, 11th, 21st, 25th.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
Things get rather interesting now, Virgo. The energetics of this time of year clear the field so that our hopes, wishes and desires are noticed. Your job is to insert intention and desire into those experiences you so need in order to grow and achieve. While this may seem a bit too ‘spiritual’ for some of you, it’s all true. Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde until the 18th, in the sign of Libra. Appearing in your 2nd house of finances, it’s important not to negotiate, sign off on and/or agree to big projects. This is because the energy is very inflexible right now and changing any way the wind blows. Delays give you a chance to change a plan. Watch expenses pop up randomly - and create a schedule of empowerment that can carry you through when cash tightens. A New Moon on the 6th occurs in the 2nd house also, removing obstacles and strengthening confidence and self promotion. There is some dialogue happening around spending and saving, to reach a state of harmony, you will need to get comfortable with the idea of ‘sharing’. Pluto stations direct a day later, helping you with productivity if you’ve been feeling a little lazy.
Venus stirs the 4th house of domesticity on the 7th, bringing peace to family relations. You may fall into a new and fun routine with a sibling or just be around more joy due to nieces/nephews. You reshuffle and redirect emotions as Saturn stations direct in the friendly sign of Aquarius on the 10th. Situations and circumstances can feel a little changeable mid-month but it's purely because we are in a period of transition. Stay open to streams of action, creativity and consciousness. The proportion of one's healing abilities are directly linked to the amount of pain they endured. For many of you, a realisation is imminent, one in which you come to the edges of maturity and let the severity of what you’ve gone through, go on to shape you. On the 20th, an Aries Full Moon opposes the Sun in Libra, occurring in your mysterious 8th house. This can encourage romance and union if things are going well in your relationships, by the same merit, if things are feeling a little sour, they can be especially murky at this time. Your attention will be drawn to money matters again, as debts and loans fall under this cycle. Spontaneity and curiosity can help you connect with inspiration, and despite concerns, things are happening as they should. You may also be feeling the desire to set limits or boundaries in order to avoid the perils of the ‘unknown’. Ego can rationalise all sorts of silly things, don’t let fear stifle you.
Dates to watch; 6th, 16th, 20th, 22nd, 29th.
Libra: September 23 - October 22
Happy Birthday intelligent, kind and quirky Libra. You glow with the beauty of spirit, inspiration and creativity as new found revelations present themselves throughout October. You are being supported within your own awareness, and this message carries on easily all month. Mercury is in your sign until the 18/19th, in its final retrograde phase, keeping you for the most part enjoying life behind the scenes. You are feeling reflective, as you look back on 2021. Mars in your sign hypes up the mood until the 30th, meaning that everything is relevant to you. An increase in motivation is apparent when Mars is in your arena, but as is the inability to gloss over things. A New Moon in your sign occurs on the 6th, merging with Mercury and the Sun in your 1st house of personality and reputation. Mars sends good vibrations to you on this date, helping you refine who you are and correct any grievances you may have. Use this date to start a new diet, exercise regime or spiritual practice. With so much support from the cosmos, you’ll feel powerful and ready to conquer whatever’s been left on the back burner. Venus moves into your quirky 3rd house of communication early in the month, helping you create a new set of patterns in dialogue.
A dramatic Full Moon on the 20th occurs in Aries, your opposite sign, concentrating its energy on your relationships. A new love may come into your life and surprise you. Desires will be reinforced, but remember that love languages differ from one person to another. Stay the course if someone means a lot to you, even if the dual nature of this Moon shakes you. A lunation in your opposite sign releases a feeling of competition however, so be careful of those who you naturally feel a little jealous of. The end of birthday season reinforces the need to be clear, and recognise the good you have before you - otherwise deception is around the corner. I know it can be confusing when I speak in metaphors, but this Full Moon can really have you questioning your partners, ex’s or potential lovers motives. Scorpio Season sets off on the 23rd in your 2nd house of finances, turning your attention onto your creativity and natural talents. You will relate strongly to materialistic possessions and the acquiring of such things. Self-esteem also falls under this house, and in Scorpio can leave you feeling really ‘seen’.
Dates to watch; 1st, 7th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 25th, 30th.
Scorpio: October 23 - November 21
Only use proven methods for now, Scorpio. As birthday season draws closer this month, you may feel submerged with emotion, only enticing you further when Mars, the planet of power and sex also pulls up in your sign on the 30th. There is going to be an extreme swing in the pendulum in terms of image, reputation and personality as the energy is focused inward, in your 1st house of ‘self’. An invitation to merge the heart and the mind, lives within your current reality. All you have to do to access this plane, is to let go - of the habits, the people, the scenarios in which you are always the one grasping. Do not let it claim you, instead do the claiming yourself. Before then however, a New Moon in Libra also occurs on the 6th, in your spiritual 12th house bridging the gap between the ‘unseen’. The Moon merges with the Sun, Mars and Mercury giving cosmic power to this private and reflective house. This phase can have you obsessing over a past scenario or partner, reading more into the occult or perhaps just analysing dreams. You have a knack for the intuitive stuff and this may help you feel someone's mood before they own up to it. Especially if you have a Leo, Gemini or Taurus in your life - this shadow energy will really accentuate whatever is going on ‘behind the scenes’.
Venus then moves into your 2nd house of finance, helping you be of service to others. Core values are thoroughly looked at, as is what more you can add to your wardrobe or home. On the 10th, Saturn stations direct in Aquarius and recommends impractical ideas. Aquarius is off the wall and doesn’t care much for proven methods, for a control freak like you, this can be hard to handle, but actually is a unique place to be. Mercury in Libra is retrograde in your private 12th house, until the 18th. So there can be a tendency to spout off to pushy or pompous individuals. Whatever began in early September can now culminate or you can expect a long lost friend/lover to make contact with you. On the 20th, an Aries Full Moon shifts into your sporty 6th house of health and mental agility. A restructuring can happen in your career, or maybe you leave a job/accept a new offer. You can find yourself very busy with a hobby that is quickly becoming something much more. Things are falling in place nicely, but this house also deals with physical wellness. If you’re having troubles, they can be addressed and fixed now. The Sun then enters your sign on the 23rd, and there’s plenty of reason to celebrate. The natural cycle of new beginnings is applied, gifting you with divine inspiration, guidance and assistance to prepare you for the upcoming ‘new year’.
Dates to watch; 1st, 7th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 28th.
Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
Your eyes have their silence, Sagittarius. Yet this month's energy is configured in such a way that the natural order of life will bring you close to spirit, close to self and as close as you can get to the actualisation of what you have to offer the community. The veil throughout October is pierced, it lets a deeply divine light in to guide the way. A New Moon in Libra merges with Mercury and the Sun in your 11th house of friendship and community. You can realign with old pals (even ex’s) or rethink current ties to specific people. It’s not enough anymore just to have known each other for a long time, it’s about whether or not these individuals are beneficial to your current situation. This lunation is all about camaraderie, and people who really know you - like those old friends you’ve been through crazy moments with. The people that ride for you, no matter what. Jupiter, your ruler, is going to move direct (18th) in the sign of Aquarius after months retrograde. Ensuring that the magic returns to your life, Jupiter will continue working your 3rd house of communication, helping to fine tune your social media skills. However, before then on the 8th, Venus moves into your sign raising charm and popularity. You will feel the glow of this beautiful planet very brightly, and engage with others in a much more intimate way. Venus in your own sign can have a flair of drama attached to it, especially if you’re attracted to a Leo or Aries partner.
In reality, things are moving along exactly as they should. On the 18th, Mercury joins the others. Moving forward in the 11th house, a personal discovery leads you to look at a lifestyle change. With Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury direct, you begin to feel the need to break free from certain situations or circumstances that considerably complicate your life. An Aries Full Moon happens on the 20th, opposing the Libra Sun in your playful 5th house of fertility and romance, proposing a moment of vulnerability with someone you love. There has been an unpredictable streak in some of your closest relationships all year that’s blown hot and cold like the changing wind. This lunation helps you see, suddenly and quite clearly what needs to happen next in your life. Mood fluctuations are part of this fiery energy, as are intense emotions. If you are part of a couple, this week is good for trying to get pregnant or just enjoying family time. You can recharge your batteries by erecting boundaries with friends, whom you may have given a lot of time to at the beginning of the month. On the 30th, Mars follows the sea, into Scorpio. What follows is supremely sensual and sexual, and not very appropriate for prying eyes. If the start of October is about the group, the end is purely for one meaningful individual.
Dates to watch; 7th, 12th, 20th, 24th, 30th.
Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
You hand out an invitation this month, Capricorn. Will it be well received?! Themes that are woven into October are supercharged with emotion, amplifying what level of dedication you’re willing to reach. As always, career seems to be the highlight, but the cosmos is asking you to also take a greater look at the more intuitive side of life. The New Moon in Libra joins the Sun, Mercury and Mars in your 10th house of ambition on the 6th. This will aid you in career momentum, or perhaps you’ll ponder on taking the direction of your finances somewhere unusual. New opportunities come from your polished reputation that you work hard to maintain. The ongoing Mercury retrograde however, can put a spanner in the works just when you thought there was nothing to worry about. There can be a sense of confusion if someone tries to challenge you, especially if they’re much further down the ladder than you. In good humour, you laugh it off and that type of energy only helps further the momentum that is your star on the rise. This is a highly auspicious time of year for you, it’s all about the ‘right’ timing.
You are inclined to test people or things this month, as you tend to over analyse and criticise what you think you know. Venus moves into your wise 12th house on the 8th, applying pressure to old memories or feelings. It will be time to reflect on where you’re at this stage of your life as the old structures continue to fall down. Dreams may be especially prophetic, and a Pisces, Leo or Scorpio can imprint on you in a romantic way. Even you need reassurance at times, and these 3 signs always reveal some sort of revelation to you. Saturn follows Pluto in its move direct, and 8 days later, lucky Jupiter also stations in Aquarius after months retrograde. You are like a wise owl when Saturn, your ruler, begins to slowly move forward again, and whatever transpires reminds you that there is no separation. An Aries Full Moon on the 20th highlights your domestic 4th house, stimulating family drama. Opposing the opportunistic sign of Libra, it’s opposite, there can be a push/pull effect going on with those close to you. There can be news about a parent's health condition or perhaps a heated word with a sibling. This blood moon will reach a boiling point by the 25th, when a very personal matter reaches culmination. It may revolve around a family member and a romantic partner, leaving you feeling super stuck in the middle. On the 30th, Mars, planet of sex and power shifts into Scorpio, intensifying your natural charisma, leaving someone feeling relatively mad for you.
Dates to watch; 6th, 12th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 23rd.
Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
Resist temptation, Aquarius. Remember that the energy and events around you are trying to place you more in alignment with who you truly are. There is a strong undercurrent of adventure in your life and the excitement turns up a notch when Saturn and Jupiter, both in your sign, turn direct after months retrograde. The pulse of the month is showing up in a very accelerated way for you personally. It all begins on the 6th with a New Moon merging with the Sun in your 9th house of education, travel and philosophy. This particular lunation marks a major shift in your own personal philosophies that you staunchly protect and adhere to. The 9th house dislikes assumptions, but as fate would have it a Gemini or Taurus individual can be forming opinions on who you are based on very superficial facts. You are motivated to achieve goals, and you’re determined to give meaning to your routine. Venus enters fiery Sagittarius and your social 11th house. You encounter a friend who could become a lover, or maybe you’re just thriving in the relationship you’re in. Either way, you’re very encouraged by the cosmos to break new territory.
A transformation of the heart is fuelled by a special person who has given you a ‘innocence’ back. Life can feel rather karmic, as if it’s ‘meant to be’. In fact, October is brimming with opportunity, making it one of the luckiest months of the year. However, the good vibes continue really until December 28th, with Jupiter still in your sign, showering you with the last bits of magic it has to offer up. Commitment can be the main subject on your mind when the planets move direct, even if you’ve harboured mixed feelings in the last few months. On the 20th, an Aries Full Moon opposes the Libra Sun and encourages you to negotiate, discuss and educate as it shifts into your 3rd house of communication. If a relationship heavily tilts toward one person doing most of the giving and one person doing most of the receiving, this issue will surface for revision at this time. A surprising turn of events can put you in the driver's seat in relation to a collaboration, project or career goal. Mars, the planet of sex and aggression shifts into your house of professional development on the 30th, meeting the Sun in Scorpio. Until December 13th, if something is out of whack, it will be greatly felt!
Dates to watch; 7th, 8th, 18th, 20th, 28th, 30th.
Pisces: February 19 - March 20
Intuitive decisions appear, Pisces. However, the future should not be gauged upon the way things are right now - as that status of your reality will undergo change and transformation later in the month, with Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn moving direct. For the next few weeks, Jupiter, your traditional ruler, is etching closer to leaving Aquarius. Jupiter is set to re-enter Pisces on the 29th of December, where the great planet will stay until May 10th, 2022. This is a very real, thriving and thrilling benefit for you - blessing you with many karmic treats. Mercury is retrograde until the 18th in the sign of Libra, helping you rethink finances, taxes and spending. There can be constant re-starts or lack of motivation going on - as ideas and projects mentally load. A New Moon merges with the Libra Sun on the 6th, occurring in your 8th house of rebirth. There can be drama associated with this house as deep swells of emotion and fast currents of memory and rejection potentially run amuck in your mind. If you’re obsessing about an old conversation and what you wish you could have said differently, now may be your chance for a re-do. With Neptune in Pisces pivoting toward the higher spiritual undertones within your everyday life, an energetic call goes out into the world. Telling others that you are in a prophetic phase of your cycle, and not to be bothered. Saturn’s move direct (10th) will be purely focused on the ties that ‘bind’ you to specific people or situations that you keep tripping up on. Mainly because Saturn is super karmic, and because Aquarius is very community orientated. Therefore, naturally, friendships and relationships with ‘baggage’ will be developing toward a new kind of reality.
Mars is in Libra traversing through that intimate 8th house, sex and money infuse in opportunistic ways but watch out for what and whom you may ‘owe’. Debt has a way of circling back, and you may be in a tough position financially. Be ready to keep a watchful eye on expenses, especially coming close to Christmas. A Gemini or Aquarius may teach you a few tricks to squash confusion in that area of your life. Venus is in Sagittarius, garnering some speed in your house of profession and ambition. You could find yourself in a situation where you appear to be the ‘underdog’, as Sagittarius champions those who are trying to do the right thing despite the collective going in the ‘other’ direction. Venus in Sagittarius arrives in your life just as you need it, recognising and balancing your own needs before the needs of others. On the 20th, a Full Moon in Aries opposes the Sun, in your house of finances. There is a culmination coming, finally - so stay flexible to what shows up. It can appear as either a gift or a repayment, but a discrepancy with a bank account, especially if overlooked previously, is now certainly coming to light. To be fair, a long awaited shift in this house is very needed, and you could even bring in more cash, if you play the game and not let it play you. In the ether, a new client or business acquaintance is slowly making their way to you. This could bring about a destined meeting that will catapult your career in 2022. On the 23rd, Scorpio Season begins harmonising with your sign and your international 9th house of travel, education and freedom. Scorpio themes gel well for you, as it teaches the way of water (your element) - ‘the gentler you become, the stronger you will be.’ Just be sure to factor in Scorpio’s constant need for action in romance, that can lead to unpredictability or potential volatility.
Dates to watch; 6th, 17th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 29th.
