Mercury Transits Libra (October 3 – 24)
As October begins, Mercury shifts from Virgo into Libra on October 3rd. Libra is friendly ground for Mercury, but the influence of Jupiter and Rahu (the Moon’s North Node) could create tension and heightened restlessness. Throughout this period, Mercury also joins Mars in Libra — a conjunction that may spark impatience or verbal conflicts. It’s wise to tread carefully and manage temper flare-ups. However, this Mercury–Mars alliance favors technical projects, problem-solving, and strategic action. Staying focused on tasks rather than emotions will yield the best results.
At the same time, Venus, the ruler of Libra, forms a conjunction with Ketu, creating unpredictable emotional surges. This cosmic alignment may feel like a dam bursting, redirecting the natural flow of events and prompting sudden shifts. During the first week of October, Venus’s exact conjunction with Ketu could bring situations that require creative or unconventional solutions. By October 9th, Venus moves into Virgo, easing some of the pressure but leaving behind turbulence that calls for extra patience and adaptability.
Full Moon in Pisces (October 6)
The Full Moon on October 6th occurs at 20° Pisces, directly opposing the Sun at 20° Virgo. This alignment highlights dual energies, practical versus emotional, logic versus intuition, all working toward a shared goal.
The Moon, flanked by retrograde Saturn, may heighten emotional intensity. Yet, by examining these emotions objectively, valuable insights emerge. The Sun in Virgo and Moon in Pisces bring Mercury and Jupiter into focus, promoting productive brainstorming and spiritual awareness. With Jupiter and Mercury both in air signs during the Full Moon, the potential for mental breakthroughs and collaborative ideas is strong. Mars and Mercury continue to move in tandem through Libra, supporting efficient communication and execution. This Full Moon marks a time for reflection, integration, and preparation for a new cycle. Grounding practices and patience will help prevent being swept away by emotional tides caused by the Full Moon.
Venus Transits Virgo – (October 9 – November 2)
Venus governs connection, beauty, and relationships—both personal and professional. After a challenging stay in fiery Leo, Venus enters Virgo on October 9th, a sign of debilitation but also discernment.
Venus in Virgo invites accountability in love, finance, and politics. Under Saturn’s aspect, creative and business pursuits gain structure and organization. Despite the “debilitated” label, this transit encourages refinement and improvement rather than indulgence.
From October 9–24, Venus and Mercury form a parivartana yoga (exchange of signs), enhancing diplomacy, rational thinking, and problem-solving in negotiations. Together, they help balance the intense Mercury–Mars energy in Libra, promoting fair-minded communication and strategic collaboration.
Sun Transits Libra (October 17 – November 16)
In the first half of October, the Sun completes its journey through Virgo, emphasizing practicality, data, and accountability under Saturn’s gaze. On October 17th, the Sun enters Libra, its sign of debilitation, marking a shift toward diplomacy, balance, and external relationships.
Although this placement can make self-expression feel subdued, the presence of Mercury and the Venus–Mercury exchange softens the effect. However, between October 24–27, when Mercury and Mars depart Libra, the Sun remains with Rahu’s influence, heightening instability..
From October 27 until early November, the Sun stands alone in Libra, vulnerable but also capable of learning humility and cooperation. Lean on wisdom, patience, and supportive connections during this phase.
Jupiter Enters Cancer (October 18)
On October 18th, Jupiter briefly enters Cancer, its sign of exaltation, offering a glimpse of future blessings. Although this stay lasts only until November 11th before Jupiter turns retrograde and returns to Gemini, it opens a window of optimism and emotional renewal.
This is the first time since 2014 that Jupiter casts a direct aspect on Saturn, rebalancing wisdom and structure. Expect flashes of inspiration and opportunity, even if they are not yet ready to manifest fully.
When Jupiter’s wisdom influences both Mars in Scorpio and Saturn in Pisces, we may see order, growth, and faith replacing confusion or fear. Use this energy to plant seeds for long-term stability and spiritual insight.
New Moon in Libra (October 21)
The New Moon at 5° Libra on October 21st occurs in Chitra nakshatra, ruled by Mars and associated with creativity and craftsmanship. With the Sun and Moon conjunct, emotional and physical energy may feel low, urging rest and reflection.
This lunation forms a complex web of influences: Mars and Mercury in late Libra, Venus in Virgo, and Jupiter newly in Cancer—all linked through mutual receptions and nakshatra ruler-ships. It’s a potent time for initiating new creative or relational ventures, provided we manage emotional knots and avoid impulsive decisions.
The key theme of this New Moon is balance, finding grace amid complexity, clarity amid confusion, and growth amid tension.
Mercury Transits Scorpio (October 24 – November 23)
As the New Moon energy settles, Mercury darts into Scorpio on October 24th, encouraging deeper analysis, research, and emotional intelligence.
This transit enhances focus and problem-solving but also signals the beginning of a cycle that will be revisited, as Mercury turns retrograde from November 9–29. The events and insights from late October will likely resurface later for review and correction.
Track your communications, commitments, and data carefully. Mercury in Scorpio excels at investigating hidden truths and synthesizing logic with intuition.
