Prepare to swoon, because October begins with the sun in Libra, radiating romance, beauty and charisma all throughout the cosmos. Libra may be known as a light-hearted and carefree zodiac sign, but your October 2020 horoscope proves we’ve all got another thing coming. Not only is Mars retrograde still churning out frustrating surprises this month, but the cosmos are starting October off strong with a full moon in competitive Aries blasting through the universe on October 1. This only intensifies the already volatile and unpredictable energy, proving this October is not to be trifled with!
Still, let’s not forget that new moons are just as important as full moons. You’ll understand the deepest meaning of Libra when a new moon in Libra dawns on October 16. Since Libra is a cardinal sign, it is one of the go-getters of the zodiac, pushing you to overcome obstacles and fight for what you want. Don’t let this new moon be any different! Let it be the beginning of a powerful chapter in your life.
Since Libra is ruled by Venus—planet of love—you’ll feel this planet’s flirtatious and luxurious vibes intensely this month. Your desire to be of service to others will increase when Venus enters Virgo on October 2, encouraging you to lend a helping hand, organize your aesthetic and follow a new and improved self-care routine! When Venus enters its home sign of Libra on October 27, your heart will be set on improving your one-on-one relationships and finding the courage to finally ask your crush out. Don’t worry, you’ve got this!
October always has a few tricks up its sleeve, but this year, it’s really not pulling any punches. Pluto—planet of transformation and hidden power—stations direct on October 4, inspiring you to sever ties with what’s no longer working for you and embrace the processes of creation and destruction. On October 13, messenger Mercury will also station retrograde in dark, secretive and obsessive Scorpio, inviting exes from relationships past and encouraging late night texts you wish you could take back. Don’t fall prey to temptation and remember to keep moving forward instead of dwelling on the past and what could have been.
During Mercury retrograde, expect secrets to spill, an overload of miscommunication and emotional hangups galore, destined to confuse the heck out of you. When Scorpio season begins on October 22, you may find yourself drifting back into the past yet again as Mercury retrograde gains intensity, drifting backwards and re-entering the sign of Libra on October 27. How will this story unfold? Just wait and see!
Last but certainly not least, a full moon in grounded Taurus takes place on Halloween, aka October 31 (because seriously, how else would you want October to end?). Since this is the second full moon within the same month, it’s also called a blue moon. You better tap into your inner witch and celebrate Halloween 2020 in style—astrology demands it!
