October 2023 Horoscope: Some of ya'll are going to love this...some of you...
Here’s what’s happening in astrology this month:
Libra Season: Striking a Balance in Our Relationships
The autumnal equinox on Sept 23rd brought the Libra season into crystal clear view.
Now is the time to meditate on the yin and yang of life, and cultivate an internal balance between light and darkness. It’s a good month for taking the middle path, or just absolutely leaning into your villain era and embracing the chaos or being both light and dark. Lay low, go off, or do a little of both. It’s up to you babes.
The Sun and Mercury host a meet cute in the sign of Libra on the 20th, shining some charm and a bright light on your relationships and lines of communication. The Sun in Libra also trines retrograde Saturn in romantic Pisces this month, allowing us to look back on past relationships with a nostalgic lens.
Venus wants you to love yourself.
Supporting you this month is Venus in Virgo. Time to jump on that self love and self care routine and prioritize health, wealth, and happiness for yourself, because you deserve it Queen! Find some bomb affirmations to dance to in the mornings and get your body and breath into a dynamic state!
Hold on to your hats! Eclipse season is back.
Things turn climatic and cinematic during the new moon and solar eclipse in Libra on the 14th. Expect BIG shifts in your relationships and partnerships.
Scorpio Season
Mars enters Scorpio on the 12th, causing us to play our cards a little closer to the vest, hiding our motivations, and potentially all out ending some shit that is no longer aligned to us. It then trines Saturn in its fellow water sign Pisces on the 13th, widening your perspective to span the oceans of time and consider the long game.
The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd, amping up the intensity of just about everything. And then of course, Mercury transitions from Libra into Scorpio soon after, making us crave soul deep conversations over flirty small talk...which is right on par as as you’ll be getting a big second helping of that climatic eclipse energy on the 28th, when the full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus brings big feelings from the deep dark bubbling to the surface, allowing for deep self reflection, clarity, emotional breakthroughs, heightened intuition, and new beginnings.
