Love is in the air! Prepare for a much-needed rebirth in your relationships and dating life this spooky season, especially with the sun and Venus hanging out in lively Libra, the sign of harmony, partnerships, and beauty for most of October. To help you embrace your new chapter, three powerful planets (Mercury, Pluto, and Saturn) will officially end their retrogrades, starting with Mercury on Oct 2. The end of retrograde season marks a time of self-empowerment and increased productivity. Where are you ready to restore balance and confidence in your life?
On Oct. 8, penetrating Pluto, the planet of transformation, will end its six-month backspin in constructive Capricorn, helping you overcome any power struggles or internal conflicts you’ve been moving through. If you need motivation or a change of pace, take advantage of the fiery Aries full moon peaking on Oct 9. The Aries full moon is a reminder that anything is possible when you believe in yourself. Use this energy to boldly embrace your fears and proactively take action toward building the life of your dreams. You are not alone.
Big things are happening the week of Oct. 23, so keep a journal nearby and track the intuitive downloads you receive. On Oct. 23, the sun and Venus will say goodbye to socialite Libra and enter spiritual Scorpio, pushing you to cut through distractions and tune in to your inner voice. On the same day, Saturn, the planet of responsibility and commitment, ends its annual retrograde, inspiring you to take ownership of the lessons you’ve learned over the past five months.
To end the month on a deeper note, the Scorpio solar eclipse will reach its climax on Oct. 25, kicking off the final eclipse season for 2022. Because eclipses symbolise a meeting of fate and destiny, expect deep emotions and erotic experiences, especially regarding intimacy, money, and death. Luckily, on Oct. 28, joyful Jupiter will re-enter prosperous and peaceful Pisces, where it will remain until December 2022. Just keep in mind that motivator Mars will station retrograde in go-getter Gemini two days later, on Oct. 30. With Scorpio season in full effect, you need to pay attention to the facts and watch your words – pick your battles wisely!

It’s time to switch things up on the relationship front, Aries. If you’ve been riding the fence about a certain someone, your October 2022 horoscope says it’s time to fully commit or throw in the towel. Because with the sassy sun in Libra soaring through your seventh house of cooperation and compromise until Oct. 23, Libra season is the best season to make some much-needed changes in how you form and maintain partnerships.
In fact, you may finally see forward motion on a stalled contract or meeting around Oct. 10 when Mercury moves back into diplomatic Libra. Keep in mind that the adventurous Aries full moon will peak in your sign on Oct. 9, so things feel more intense than usual. With the full moon challenging your first house of self and independence, make sure you show up for yourself the way you show up for others. If not, you can burn yourself out or leave feeling resentful. Choose wisely.
Expect an energy shift mid-month once Scorpio season officially begins on Oct. 23. With the sun and Venus in Scorpio entering your eighth house of transformation and rebirth until November, listen to your intuition if it tells you it’s time for deep healing.

If you’re feeling low after the electrifying Aries full moon, trust the healing process. Your calendar will fill up again once the sun and Venus enter Scorpio on Oct. 23.

Feeling inspired to entertain and socialise, Gemini? When was the last time you planned a fun outing? Your October 2022 horoscope opens the door to new connections and interests, but this means stepping out of your comfort zone and leaving old ties behind you. To help you rejuvenate after a taxing Mercury retrograde season, consider catching up with a friend you haven’t seen in a while. Not in the mood for a meet-up? That’s fine, visit your local playhouse or museum for an intimate night on the town instead. The sun and Venus in Libra visiting your festive fifth house until Oct. 23 deepens your appreciation for live entertainment, art, and music. Treat yourself to some fun!
If you’re craving more excitement, keep your eyes open for adventure around the Oct. 9 Aries full moon.

Plus, with your eleventh house of community activated, you may be receiving an award or recognition for all the hard work you do. Accept your flowers with confidence and pride, especially because your planetary ruler, Mercury, slides back into fellow air sign Libra on Oct. 10, making others intrigued by what you have to say. Consider revamping a newsletter or group chat. Make your voice heard.
Your focus may shift from play to work towards the end of the month when the sun and Venus slip out of your flirty fifth house in Libra and enter your Scorpio-ruled sixth house of duty and service on Oct. 23. As Scorpio season brings emphasis to your work life and daily habits, it’s important not to obsess over the details or lose your sense of balance in the daily ground. Use the Scorpio solar eclipse peaking on Oct. 25 to set new intentions around health and routine. Where do you procrastinate the most? Where do you need to be more consistent? Take accountability for your personal growth.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22) Monthly Horoscope For October 2022
Take care of home this month, Cancer. Your October 2022 horoscope brings attention to your family life and emotional foundation. With the sun and Venus in Libra flowing through your sensitive fourth house until Oct. 23, this is the best time all year to nurture yourself and your life behind the scenes. How are you emotionally? What shifts are showing up in your relationship dynamics? Does your home feel chaotic, or is it your sanctuary? How can you bring your beauty and balance to your space?
When considering how to process intense feelings, try not to be so hard on yourself, especially around Oct. 8 when Pluto, the planet of power and rebirth, ends its healing retrograde in conservative Capricorn.

Use the Oct. 25 Scorpio solar eclipse to restart this new chapter with newfound confidence and belief in yourself. Lean into your power.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Monthly Horoscope for October 2022
Stop beating around the bush this month, Leo. Your October 2022 horoscope says it’s time to set the record straight and tell it like it is – but that doesn’t mean you have to be rude about it. In fact, with meticulous Mercury wrapping up its retrograde in your security-focused second house on Oct. 2, you’re finally feeling confident speaking your truth without filters, and others are respecting you for it. This is especially true when it comes to the sun and Venus in Libra chilling in your third house of communication until Oct. 23.
Although owning your bold voice opens new doors for you this month, you may run into challenges with authority figures at work around Oct. 9 when the Aries full moon peaks in your ninth house of belief systems and laws. Which rules no longer serve you? What limiting beliefs and ideologies are you ready to leave behind? The electrifying Aries full moon urges you to own your freedom instead of allowing others’ opinions and expectations to define you.
Fortunately for you, serious Saturn wraps up its final retrograde in your sensual seventh house of marriage and one-to-one interactions on Oct. 23, and this maturing transit brings stability and respect back into your relationships. If you’ve been having issues with fidelity or dynamics in a group, you should experience relief soon.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) March 2022 Horoscope For October 2022
Money is on your mind this month, Virgo. Your October 2022 horoscope wants you to get out of your head and into your bag, especially with your planetary ruler, mental Mercury, wrapping up its retrograde in your sign on Oct. 2. Because this transit takes place while the sun and Venus in Libra are traveling through your security-focused second house, this is the best time all year to clear any confusion surrounding your budget and assets. When was the last time you checked your credit score or added money to your savings and investment accounts? It’s time to stop splurging and start being more intentional about your finances and expenses.
If you’re struggling to increase your funds or let go of indulgent habits, Pluto stationing direct in your fifth house of pleasure on Oct. 8 reminds you that self-control is a form of self-love. So keep that in mind when the awakening Aries full moon lights up your erotic eighth house of debt and shared resources on Oct. 9. While some full moons bring mind-blowing excitement and shattering breakthroughs, this full moon is teaching you how to simply practice self-discipline while enjoying yourself in the process. Don’t cheat yourself by taking the shortcut or the easy way around. Do the work.
To end the month on a brighter note, Saturn finally finishes its annual retrograde in your work and wellness sector on Oct. 23, rewarding you for the effort and time you’ve put in over the past five months. Perhaps you’ve decided to recommit to a fitness or morning routine. Where are you finding your balance? As if the universe knew you needed a change of pace, the sun and Venus will enter sexy Scorpio on the same day (Oct. 23), inviting you to take a break from the hustle and explore new interests.

It’s your time to shine! Happy birthday, Libra! Your October 2022 horoscope wants you to stop settling for less and rise into the star that you are.

You are exactly where you are supposed to be. Don’t let anyone rush you.
In fact, with Pluto ending its retrograde in your familial fourth house of roots on Oct. 8, it may be time to reinforce your boundaries with certain family members and loved ones who have overstepped in the past.

On a brighter note, you may be receiving the confirmation you need on a new job offer or contractual agreement around the Oct. 9 Aries full moon. With the Aries full moon illuminating your seventh house of marriage and relationships, is it time to take a partnership to the next level? What lessons are you learning about yourself through your relationships?

Meanwhile, Pluto, the planet of power, will leave your third house of communication on Oct. 8, putting you back in touch with your artistic voice, and this helps you find the creative outlet you need to express what you’ve been feeling.

You’ll come back to them once the sun moves into your sign at the end of the month.

These are all questions that may come up around the full moon.
At the end of the month, as the sun and Venus move into Scorpio and enter your twelfth house of ending and self-reflection, your focus will shift from community building to healing and introspection.
