October ends on an 'emotionally high' astrological dynamic, and starts rather quietly, although that Comet 'Atlas 3I' skims past Mars at 7 degrees Scorpio this Friday. News of its many anomalies may have reached the general media outlets by then. A planetary grand trine is manifest from 22nd Oct to Nov 2nd involving Mercury and Mars in Scorpio, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer. The Full Moon next Tuesday in Aries being quintile Pluto forces hidden truths to the surface. The Libran New Moon on October is in Cardinal/Fixed T-square with Jupiter and Pluto creating or ramping up pressure and power plays at that time. With Venus in Libra from mid month and Mars in Scorpio there is before us, a fine time for personal friendships and relationships. Mercury squares Jupiter today. Expect miscommunication, exaggeration, over-commitment and a need for reality checks on all ideas. A cardinal T-square is manifest involving the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter 03.00 to 06.00 03.39 The post first quarter Moon accelerating at 21 Capricorn waxing square Mercury at 21 Libra 05.41 The Moon at 22 Capricorn opposition Jupiter at 22 Cancer 15.07 Jupiter at 23 Cancer waxing septile Uranus at 1 Gemini. This is the 1st of 3 hits of this aspect- dates 30th Sept 2025, 18th Jan 2026 and 27th May 2026. This aspect corresponds to a unique energetic flow associated with spiritual sensitivity, inner awareness, and a 'hidden' potential bringing about sudden, positive changes. The aspect signifies a period of leaking unconscious content into consciousness, fostering innovation, a shift in philosophy, and the emergence of unusual ideas. These two planets working together always expand the mind. 15.34 The Moon at 28 Capricorn waning sextile Saturn at 28 Pisces.

Dipping and diving. Smooth and remote. 02.29 The Moon 'gaining in size and motion' at 17 Aquarius waxing quincunx Venus at 17 Virgo 04.00 Comet 3I/ATLAS makes its closest approach to Mars on October 3rd 2025, with the exact time of the encounter being around 4:00 UTC (11:00 p.m. CDT, October 2). This encounter is a key opportunity for Mars-based spacecraft, such as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and the European Space Agency's Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), to observe the interstellar visitor. 07.31 Morning star Venus at 17 Virgo opposition the lunar node at 17 Pisces 12.43 Evening star Mercury at 25 Libra waxing biquintile Uranus at 1 Gemini 13.24 The Moon at 23 Aquarius waning quincunx Jupiter at 23 Cancer 18.16 The Moon at 26 Aquarius waxing trine Mercury at 26 Libra.

Mercury turns retrograde on November 9th. Mercury squares Pluto on Oct 7th, intense is the word. Mercury is conjunct Mars on Oct 20th at 19 degrees Scorpio, foreceful action and desire. Mercury enters his shadow on Oct 21st. Mercury trines Jupiter and Saturn for the 1st time on 24th and 25th Oct, 'dreams could come true' energy, fostering emotional connection, intuition, and creative flow. For the first time also, Mercury trines Neptune on Oct 29th and almost immediately enters Sagittarius opposing Uranus later that day. Mercury sextiles Pluto on Oct 30th. Mercury turns retrograde at 7 degrees Sagittarius on Nov 9th. Mercury is again conjunct Mars, this time at 6 degrees Sagittarius on Nov 12th. Mercury sextiles Pluto, 2nd time, on Nov 17th. Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio on Nov 19th opposing Uranus and trining Neptune for second times later that day. Mercury is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 28 degrees Scorpio on Nov 20th. Now a morning star, Mercury for the 2nd time trines Jupiter and Saturn on Nov 22nd. Mercury is then conjunct Venus at 23 degrees Scorpio for good measure on Nov 25th. Mercury turns direct at 21 degrees Scorpio on Nov 29th. Mercury then trines Jupiter and Saturn for the 3rd and final time on Dec 6th/7th, opposing Uranus on Dec 10th, trining Neptune on Dec 11th and re-entering Sagittarius on Dec 11th. Mercury sextiles Pluto a final time on Dec 13th. Mercury continues through Sagittarius leaving his shadow on Dec 16th. He enters Capricorn on New year's Day 2026. This is a very intense period for Mercury, and correspondingly the human mind. Much seriously penetrative thinking evident during these weeks. Many issues to 'root out'. 20.55 The Moon at 10 Aries waxing quincunx Mars at 10 Scorpio 22.54 Mercury at zero Scorpio waning quincunx Neptune at 0 Aries STATE OF THE SKY. (ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The Sun today is at 14 degrees Libra. Mercury and Mars are in Scorpio. There are 76 days to the northern hemisphere Winter Solstice. We are pulling out of the recent eclipse season. Saturn and Neptune's unconsummated 'test of faith' conjunction, dominating most of 2025, was closest on July 14th and is exactly conjunct in Feb. 2026. Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are now retrograde. MERCURY Mercury enters Scorpio as an evening star today October 6th 2025. See above. Mercury retrograde periods ahead. Nov 9 to Nov 29, 2025 Feb. 25 to Mar 20, 2026 Jun 29 to Jul 23, 2026 Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026 Feb 9 to Mar 3, 2027 VENUS Venus entered Virgo as a morning star on Sept 19th. She resides in this sign for a brief 24 days. Venus sextiles Jupiter on October 8th with pleasures and indulgences. Venus opposes Saturn on October 11th with severity. She leaves Virgo for Libra on October 13th. Venus in Virgo forces us to get real about the quality of our relationships. Illusions fall away, and we're left with the truth, sometimes sobering, but ultimately liberating. Venus' next retrograde period is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra. MARS Mars entered Scorpio on Sept 22nd and resides in this sign for 43 days. Always an intense and wilful residence. Mars is conjunct Mercury at 19 degrees Scorpio on Oct 20th. Mind and muscle in a very focused mode. Mars trines Jupiter on Oct 28th, pushing for glory. Mars trines Saturn on Oct 29th, great reserves of will and persistence. Mars trines Neptune on Nov 4th, sensational. Mars enters Sagittarius opposing Uranus later that day. This residence finishes as it started, with a bang. Mars is next retrograde from Jan 10th 2027 to April 1st 2027 in Leo/Virgo. JUPITER Jupiter is in Cancer from June 9th 2025 to June 30th 2026. He is retrograde from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now. SATURN Saturn is retrograde having left Aries for Pisces on Sept 1st. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasted from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settles in Aries on February 14, 2026. Saturn stationed in Aries on July 13th 2025 at 2 degrees Aries. We have just had a three month 'taster' trip. New lessons on cutting out the nonsense, getting a grip on future plans, less drift, less emotion. Lean, mean and keen. We now have unfinished business with relinquishing, faith and sacrifice, finally putting them to bed. URANUS Uranus first buzzed into Gemini on 7th July 2025. This is a big one. Uranus, the planet associated with radical change, technology and innovation, entered the sign of Gemini on July 7 this year until May 22, 2033. A seven year global episode of invention, discovery, twists and radical inventions which change our lives lie ahead. Uranus's initial residence in this sign is from July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. He returns here for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. The two most recent transits of Uranus in Gemini include the US involvement in World War 2 (1941-1945) and the US Civil War (1861-1865). The transit of Uranus through Gemini from 1774-1782, includes the American Revolutionary War. As Uranus enters Gemini he completes the triad of Pluto in Aquarius, and Neptune in Aries. This last occurred in 1405 BC. According to some interpretations of biblical timelines, 1405 BC marks the end of the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites and the death of Moses, following the Exodus from Egypt. The decade of 1409-1400 BC includes the destruction of the Palace of Minos, the rise of Mycenaean civilization, and the shift of political and cultural power in the Aegean from Crete to mainland Greece. Well there's more world history about to unfold this time around. Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. NEPTUNE Neptune first entered Aries on March 30th 2025. He is now retrograde in Aries. PLUTO Pluto re-entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. He is currently retrograde. Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. This is the most exciting time ahead, astrologically speaking. Saturn in Aries will sextile Pluto in 2026 and square Pluto 3 times during 2028-2029. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Feb 17th 2026. An Annular Solar Eclipse at 29 Aquarius visible from Antarctica. March 2nd-3rd 2026. A Total Lunar Eclipse at 13 Virgo visible from the Pacific, North West America and North East Asia. Aug 12th 2026.

Feb 6th 2027 An annular Solar Eclipse at 17 Aquarius. Feb 21st 2027 A penumbral lunar eclipse at 3 Virgo. Aug 2nd 2027 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE at 11 Leo. ECLIPSE OF THE CENTURY. ONE YOU MUST NOT MISS. Aug 17th 2027 A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius. THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (late 2025) past the climax of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred in January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.

03.48 Moment of FULL MOON Today's Full Moon is the first following the Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7th 2025 at 15 degrees Pisces, and the 5th before another Total Lunar Eclipse on March 2nd/3rd 2026 at 13 degrees Virgo. The Full Moon is quintile Pluto and applies square to jupiter. This lunation may bring a natural creativity and innate talent to process intense emotions and situations, offering a powerful, transformational, and original approach to emotional expression. Increased emotional intensity and a drive for transformation may ne evident. This is a rampant full blooded Full Moon. At the exact moment of Full Moon today it is Sunrise at Moscow, Sunset and Moonrise over French Polynesia. Moonset is over Mount Sinai. It is High Noon at Shanghai and True midnight over Newfoundland. The nodal axis aligns to the horizon of London, Pluto is on the IC of Tehran, Mars culminates at Melbourne, Saturn and Neptune straddle New York, Saturn sets at Rome. This Full Moon at 14 Aries hits the UK's Node, Nigel Farage's Sun, the Apple Inc. Sun, Denmark's Mars, King Charles MC opposite his Neptune, ISIS' Uranus, Netanyahu's Node, opposite his Neptune, Rubio Marco's and Elon Musk's Chiron, Michelle Obama's Jupiter, George Clooney's Venus, Johnny Depp's Jupiter, Joanna Lumley's Mars, Elton John's Moon. It opposes Putin's Sun, and squares Ukraine's Neptune. 09.42 Mercury at 1 Scorpio waxing quincunx Uranus at 1 Gemini 14.41 Mercury at 1 Scorpio waning square Pluto at 1 Aquarius 16.59 The Moon at 22 Aries waning quincunx Venus at 22 Virgo 18.24 The Moon at 23 Aries waning square Jupiter at 23 Cancer. The Moon is void of course for 10.8 hours

Venus in Virgo opposes Saturn and Venus in Libra opposes Neptune Oct 8th to 16th. This is a period of tension between the desire for realistic love (Virgo) and the potentially limiting structures of relationships (Saturn) or confusing fantasies (Neptune). Critical kisses. 00.39 The Sun reaches 15 degrees Libra. We enter the 'darkened way' which of course leads us to the month of Scorpio. 05.14 The very rapidly waning full Moon enters Taurus. Two 'grounded' days ahead, calmer than recent days. A fixed T-square is manifest involving the Moon, Mercury and Pluto 07.00 to 09.30 07.25 The Moon at 1 Taurus waxing square Pluto at 1 Aquarius 09.15 The Moon at 3 Taurus opposition Mercury at 3 Scorpio 11.41 Venus at 23 Virgo waxing sextile Jupiter at 23 Cancer. A harmonious, supportive day for relationships, finances, and personal growth. 12.37 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and closest to the Earth all month. 13.19 Mars at 11 Scorpio waxing quad-novile Uranus at 1 Gemini 19.48 Mercury at 3 Scorpio waning biquintile Saturn at 27 Pisces 23.17 The Moon at 11 Taurus opposition Mars at 11 Scorpio

Another 'fairly grounded' day. We are now moving towards a 'getting real' Venus opposite Saturn on Saturday. 00.44 Mars at 11 Scorpio waxing tri-decile Jupiter at 23 Cancer 01.02 Mars at 11 Scorpio waning bi-novile Pluto at 1 Aquarius 01.36 The Sun at 16 Libra waxing sesuiquadrate Uranus at 1 Gemini 07.09 The very rapidly waning full Moon at 16 Taurus quincunx The Sun at 16 Libra 07.42 The Moon at 17 Taurus waxing sextile her node at 17 Pisces from well north of the equator 18.39 The Moon at 23 Taurus waning sextile Jupiter at 23 Cancer 21.13 The Moon at 25 Taurus waning trine Venus at 25 Virgo

The Sun in Libra and the Moon in Gemini, both Air signs, conjure up social, intellectually curious dialogue, with a focus on diplomatic skills, mental agility, and excellent communication over the next 2 days. Light and airy. 05.42 The Moon at zero Gemini waxing sextile Neptune at zero Aries Lunar occultation of fixed star Maia observable from the UK approx 05.50 to 06.47 06.02 Mercury at 5 Scorpio waxing tri-septile Uranus at 1 Gemini 06.49 The Moon conjunction Uranus at 1 Gemini 07.25 The Moon at 1 Gemini waxing trine Pluto at 1 Aquarius 08.57 The Moon reaches her disseminating phase 14.36 The Moon at 6 Gemini waning quincunx Mercury at 6 Scorpio 22.36 Mercury at 6 Scorpio waning biquintile Neptune at 0 Aries Amid this lightness of spirit Venus opposes Saturn tomorrow morning (GMT) casting serious issues around affairs of the heart. Money markets may reflect an uneasiness too.

A veritable buzz. Mercury is 6 degrees from Mars and closing, both planets are currently in Scorpio. Their first hit of three is on October 20th at 19 degrees Scorpio. The 2nd hit, with Mercury then retrograde is on Nov 12th at 6 degrees Sagittarius and the final hit on January 18th is at 26 degrees Capricorn. The three conjunctions get progressively tighter. Mercury conjunct Mars is a harmonising of mind and muscle, a powerful blending of intellect and action, potentially creating sharp, direct communication, a quick mind, and forceful persuasion. The first hit in 9 days time is especially penetrative. Venus opposes Saturn and Neptune Oct 8th to 16th This is a period of tension between the desire for realistic love (Virgo) and the potentially limiting structures of relationships (Saturn) or confusing fantasies (Neptune). Critical issues. The Venus Saturn opposition peaks today. A planetary kite is now manifest involving Venus, Uranus and Pluto with Venus opposite Saturn and Neptune. This dynamic picture remains active for one week 00.53 Mercury at 6 Scorpio waxing bi-septile Jupiter at 24 Cancer 02.00 The rapidly disseminating Moon decelerating at 13 Gemini waning quincunx Mars at 13 Scorpio 05.42 Mercury at 7 Scorpio waxing novile Venus at 27 Virgo 08.06 The Moon at 16 Gemini squares her node from high north of the equator. 11.11 Venus at 27 Virgo opposition Saturn at 27 Pisces 11.15 The Moon at 18 Gemini waning trine The Sun at 18 Libra 14.04 The Sun at 19 Libra waning bi-septile Pluto at 1 Aquarius

Mercury is less than 5 degrees from Mars and closing, both planets are currently in Scorpio. Their first hit of three is on October 20th at 19 degrees Scorpio. The 2nd hit, with Mercury then retrograde is on Nov 12th at 6 degrees Sagittarius and the final hit on January 18th is at 26 degrees Capricorn. The three conjunctions get progressively tighter. Mercury conjunct Mars is a harmonising of mind and muscle, a powerful blending of intellect and action, potentially creating sharp, direct communication, a quick mind, and forceful persuasion. The first hit in 9 days time is especially penetrative. A planetary kite is now manifest involving Venus, Uranus and Pluto with Venus opposite Saturn and Neptune. This dynamic picture remains active all week as we run down to the 'testy' New Moon in Libra one week from tomorrow. The full pattern suggests the current life experience is defined and transformed by profound and potentially destabilizing experiences in love, relationships, and values. A watery grand trine is manifest this morning (GMT) involving the Moon, her node and Mars 07:00 to 11:00 A 'pushing together' kind of energy. 07.08 The last quarter Moon decelerating at 14 Cancer waning trine Mars at 14 Scorpio 07.33 The Sun at 20 Libra waning quad-novile Neptune at 0 Aries 09.13 Venus at 29 Virgo waning semi-square Mars at 14 Scorpio 10.44 The Moon at 16 Cancer trines her node from high north of the equator. 18.13 The Moon at Last Quarter 21.20 Morning star Venus enters Libra today October 13th. She resides in this sign for a fleeting and sweet 24 days. All the planetary action is at the start. Venus opposes Neptune and trines both Uranus and Pluto tomorrow, a red letter day. Venus squares Jupiter on Nov 2nd with sweet indulgences. Venus leaves Libra for Scorpio on Nov 6th. Venus is at home in Libra and for the whole time period Mars is at home in Scorpio. This all bodes well for human relationships. 23.49 The Moon conjunction Jupiter at 24 Cancer STATE OF THE SKY. (ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The Sun and today is at 21 degrees Libra. Venus also is in Libra later today. Mercury and Mars are in Scorpio. The Moon and Jupiter are in Cancer. There are 69 days to the northern hemisphere Winter Solstice.

Mercury is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 28 degrees Scorpio on Nov 20th. Now a morning star, Mercury for the 2nd time trines Jupiter and Saturn on Nov 22nd. Mercury is then conjunct Venus at 23 degrees Scorpio for good measure on Nov 25th. Mercury turns direct at 21 degrees Scorpio on Nov 29th. Mercury then trines Jupiter and Saturn for the 3rd and final time on Dec 6th/7th, opposing Uranus on Dec 10th, trining Neptune on Dec 11th and re-entering Sagittarius on Dec 11th.

He is retrograde from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now.

New lessons on cutting out the nonsense, getting a grip on future plans, less drift, less emotion. Lean, mean and keen. We now have unfinished business with relinquishing, faith and sacrifice, finally putting them to bed. URANUS Uranus first buzzed into Gemini on 7th July 2025. This is a big one. Uranus, the planet associated with radical change, technology and innovation, entered the sign of Gemini on July 7 this year until May 22, 2033. A seven year global episode of invention, discovery, twists and radical inventions which change our lives lie ahead. Uranus's initial residence in this sign is from July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. He returns here for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032.

The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred in January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.

A red letter day. A double kite is manifest focused on Venus opposite Neptune and the Moon opposite Pluto.

Mercury is creeping up on Mars. There are three degrees between them today. Their conjunction is in Scorpio in 5 days time. The Sun is applying square to Jupiter. These two aspects are conjuring up intense and outlandish creations, games and eventualities. There is a lot of astrology remaining in October, notably after the Libran New Moon we witness a Grand Water Trine of great significance.

The planetary kite of recent days is now dissolving, only to be replaced today and tomorrow by a Cardinal T-square involving the Sun, Jupiter and Chiron. This pattern represents an opportunity for significant personal growth through confronting core identity wounds. Face up to it. Mercury 2 degrees from Mars in Scorpio injects an intense penetrative force to proceedings over today and the next 5 days. 01.46 Mars at 16 Scorpio waning trine the lunar node at 16 Pisces 05.07 The slowly waning Moon, new next tuesday, decelerating right now at 23 Leo sextile The Sun at 23 Libra.

Mercury retrograde periods ahead. Nov 9 to Nov 29, 2025 Feb. 25 to Mar 20, 2026 Jun 29 to Jul 23, 2026 Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026 Feb 9 to Mar 3, 2027 VENUS Venus entered Libra as a morning star on October 13th.

He is retrograde from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now. SATURN Saturn is retrograde having left Aries for Pisces on Sept 1st. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasted from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settles in Aries on February 14, 2026. Saturn stationed in Aries on July 13th 2025 at 2 degrees Aries. We have just had a three month 'taster' trip. New lessons on cutting out the nonsense, getting a grip on future plans, less drift, less emotion. Lean, mean and keen. We now have unfinished business with relinquishing, faith and sacrifice, finally putting them to bed. URANUS Uranus first buzzed into Gemini on 7th July 2025. This is a big one. Uranus, the planet associated with radical change, technology and innovation, entered the sign of Gemini on July 7 this year until May 22, 2033. A seven year global episode of invention, discovery, twists and radical inventions which change our lives lie ahead. Uranus's initial residence in this sign is from July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. He returns here for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. The two most recent transits of Uranus in Gemini include the US involvement in World War 2 (1941-1945) and the US Civil War (1861-1865). The transit of Uranus through Gemini from 1774-1782, includes the American Revolutionary War. As Uranus enters Gemini he completes the triad of Pluto in Aquarius, and Neptune in Aries. This last occurred in 1405 BC. According to some interpretations of biblical timelines, 1405 BC marks the end of the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites and the death of Moses, following the Exodus from Egypt. The decade of 1409-1400 BC includes the destruction of the Palace of Minos, the rise of Mycenaean civilization, and the shift of political and cultural power in the Aegean from Crete to mainland Greece. Well there's more world history about to unfold this time around. Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. NEPTUNE Neptune first entered Aries on March 30th 2025. He is now retrograde in Aries. PLUTO Pluto re-entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798.
