October is summoning you forth with the speed of a hurricane. While many of us have been navigating a very heavy fog in recent months—in truth, since June—that veil of mist will finally lift by mid-October. Yet, in its place, we are charging headfirst into the cyclone known as eclipse season. Eclipse season is the time of the year where we watch the sands of time twist, twirl, and rock, with our lives spinning at its mercy. Destiny calls our names and we each must march forward to bear the whip or receive a crown. Many beginnings, endings, turning points, culminations, breakthroughs, breakdowns, and shifts of fate are all going to take shape and once we get to December, we will look back and realize how dynamic, powerful, and transformative October truly was. The first eclipse we will experience is a solar eclipse in Libra, thrusting relationship-matters to the forefront of our lives. While many new unions and partnerships could certainly come to us now or in the months ahead, this is just “chapter one” in the storybook that will echo out until the spring of 2025. Unfortunately, this eclipse comes with a lot of heavy energy to navigate as the planets are at odds, but if we are to focus and trust in the universe, we will persevere. Luckily, the second eclipse—the final lunar eclipse in Taurus that we will see for many years—is much more delightful and is promising happier news. Lunar eclipses are usually the ones that are more challenging because they are such emotional and high-powered events, but the planets will be smiling at one another at this time, at least moreso than earlier in the month. In truth, this is my favorite of the Taurus-Scorpio axis eclipses we’ve had since the end of 2021, so this will conclude the journey you’ve been on since that point in time. Even if there are endings that appear, you will likely look back months or even years down the line and be happy with how things panned out and how your life was redirected.
Before I dive into the astrological weather for the month, though, I want to take a moment to thank you for reading my work and supporting me. Every month, I spend hundreds of hours creating astrology content and releasing it online. I am so grateful to be able to do what I am now, which is why I put so much heart into writing for global publications, my weekly Power Horoscope graphics, my live videos/reels and here. For each person who shares my work, sends it to a friend, follows me online, or books a reading with me—the greater my ability to spread light all over the world becomes. I am grateful for you!
Mighty Jupiter, our Great Benefic, dances into the flower fields of Taurus from May 16, 2023 until May 25, 2024. Because Jupiter brings growth, expansion, luck, and miracles, he will sparkle over all that Taurus rules: wealth, resources, real estate, possessions, pleasure, sensuality, hedonism, and art. All zodiac signs will finally feel as if we are heading toward better years once again, as living in the moment and going our own pace will feel more enjoyable now. We may feel more practical, realistic, and pragmatic about building our lives, ambitions, and relationships. Being forthright, caring, and reliable will also be more pronounced within people’s natures. This is a time when we want to stop and smell the roses, indulge in great food, intimacy, or romance, and appreciate the good life. Artistic talents will be amplified, as we seek beauty in all ways. We will hunger for indulgence and luxury. All markets that Taurus rules will flourish: banking, finance, real estate, cuisine and fine dining, tactical art, beauty industries, design industries, luxury industries, and fashion. On one hand, this will help us to truly feel more aligned and connected to the beauty of life, but for those that get too lost in hedonism, they may find that they indulge too much and sink into a slothful, lazy routine more focused on passion and desire than getting things done. The best thing about Jupiter in Taurus energy is that it can also provide us the quiet optimism we need to preserve patiently to build toward our greatest hopes and dreams personally or professionally. Jupiter will begin his retrograde phase on September 4, 2023 until December 30, 2023. This will cause the energies of Jupiter to turn within, as we make space within ourselves for his blessings to manifest in 2024. In many ways, we will be focusing on growing self-worth, understanding value, and how we can create more wealth and abundance on all levels in our lives.
Prepare for a major turning point to begin on March 7, 2023. Saturn, the mighty planet of karma and life lessons, will soar into the reefs of Pisces until May 24, 2025 and again from September 1, 2025 to February 13, 2026. Important learning curves and karmic transitions will take place in regards to all areas that Pisces rules: spirituality, creativity, psychology, mental health, prescriptions, prisons, the unconscious, and healing. Important information about fear, anxiety, and addictions will emerge in the period to come. Karma will come before us and we will find it is time to heal it and let it go. This will be a tremendous period for releasing anything that is holding us back from ascending to our highest good. False prophets, gurus, and secret societies will fall, as well as a streamlining of mainstream spirituality and religion. There will likely be a major overhaul in regards to the medical, psychological, and prison systems. Secrets hidden and disguised in the past thirty years could be aired out in our lives and on a global scale, too. There will be a great focus on how we rest, “escape reality,” and live in illusions or delusions. The key will be to face the truth rather than running away. Those who do so may suffer great losses and further build toxic karma that will need to be resolved in the future or in lives to come.
Pluto, planet of death, rebirth, powerful people, large masses of people, returns to Capricorn, where it has been residing since 2008 and will continue to do so until 2024. It takes Pluto 244 years to go around the Sun. Whenever Pluto resides in a constellation, whatever that zodiac sign rules goes through a breakdown phase to make room for new growth. This is very much a “phoenix effect,” whereby what isn’t working is burnt down so that new life can emerge in that place. Structures that no longer serve us are dismantled. In a sense, the Universe is creating a “course correction” in the destiny of humanity. If we understand the process and surrender to it, we can reach empowerment and enlightenment. However, if we resist and hold onto the past, our lives will be filled with tragedy and pain during these times. Everything that Capricorn rules has been going through a period of change: our governments, political structures, those in power, big business, and global economies. This will continue for years to come. It will awaken on October 10, 2023.
Our beloved planet of pleasure and beauty, Venus, becomes ignited within the zodiac sign of Leo from June 5, 2023 until October 8, 2023. Fee the surge of adrenaline! We will be bolder in pursuing our heart’s desires and plans. In Leo, our radiant goddess planet will inspire us to create the love story of our dreams and express our affection through grand gestures. Now is one of the best times of the year for singles to connect with new options as Venus feels especially fired up right now. She will spend a great deal of time in Leo because she will turn retrograde from July 22, 2023 until September 3, 2023, causing a major return of the past. To read about Venus Retrograde, do so here. However, Venus Retrograde will cause us to review all of these areas that Leo rules—passion, romance, dating, creativity, fertility, expression, and children—especially regarding how we’ve approached them in the past eight years. Exes, old friends, and soulmate connections often return to us during Venus Retrograde, so if there’s anyone special that you’d like peace, closure, or a reunion with—the time could soon be at hand. Pay attention to how people or situations from the past begin to creep in when Venus enters pre-shadow after June 19, 2023. Venus will leave post-shadow on October 7, 2023. We will likely be dealing with the situations that arise now until that point in time! Then, from October 8, 2023 until November 8, 2023, our goddess planet, Venus, will dance through the abundant gardens of Virgo. During this time, we express our love and affection through practical means and crave relationships that are more stable. We may become more focused on being giving to those we care for—whether that is through actions, helping out, or attending to the details they crave. Sensuality will be heightened at this time, and we will be driven by the idea of living a romance that is reliable. We may enjoy getting into a routine with our partners now, and singles looking for connection should focus more on someone who shows up and holds a high level of personal responsibility.
At the onset of the month, the Sun will move through the partnership-focused zodiac sign of Libra until October 23. Libra Season causes us to turn our attention to how we are cooperating with the people around us—or if we need to reassess and renegotiate where we stand. Come from a place of serenity and harmony in your relationships now, rather than co-dependency. Consider your boundaries, wants, and needs in your partnerships so that you can either find them with the right match or clearly articulate them to the person at your side. Also, we will be in the heat of eclipse season. Solar eclipses bring intense changes—which is why we always pay more attention to them both astronomically and astrologically. These cosmic events occur on a new moon and are three times more powerful than a normal new moon. They blast open a door to us as we embrace new opportunities, projects, plans and horizons. Most people receive news of a solar eclipse on the day it occurs, but others may instead notice the shift in the weeks that surround it. Keep your antennae up to see what the universe has in store. This first lunation will be a solar eclipse in Libra (21 degrees) and it takes place on October 14, 2023. The energy of this elemental Air sign will be quite prominent in our lives at this time. Libra is the seventh zodiac sign on the wheel and aligns with our partnerships in business and love, as well as commitments and negotiations. These periods in time bring a greater spotlight on relationships and often trigger significant unions or separations. This is the first eclipse in Libra and the second eclipse on the Aries-Libra axis, which began in the springtime of 2023. The upcoming dates for eclipses on this axis are: lunar eclipse in Libra (5 degrees) on March 24, 2024; solar eclipse in Aries (19 degrees) on April 8, 2024; solar eclipse in Libra (10 degrees) on October 2, 2024; solar eclipse in Aries (9 degrees) on March 29, 2025. When it comes to astrological aspects coloring this lunation, there are many to consider. The solar eclipse will be united with Mercury, which will bring a flurry of activity and communication, but is clashing with Pluto, guaranteeing we could be met with challenges or power struggles. Venus, the ruler of this lunation, will kiss Mars, which will certainly bring a hunger for romance, passion, and connection, but she is fighting with Saturn, representing that we may have further obstacles rise up before we are able to enjoy the fruits of our labor, personally or professionally. The actions that are taken near this time will likely manifest near the lunar eclipse in Libra (5 degrees) on March 24, 2024.
Mercury will move into Virgo from July 28, 2023 until October 4, 2023, where it will feel quite at home. For the coming weeks, we will buckle down to truly assess our lives and make sure we have the information we need to make all of our most important decisions. We want to be concise, precise, and efficient in all that we say and do. Mercury then dances into the zodiac sign of Libra on October 4, 2023 until October 22, 2023. All negotiations will become blessed with an easier and more fair-minded flow. Relationship topics will be on the top of our minds, as we want to make sure we are on the same page as our lovers, friends, collaborators, and business associates. Next, Mercury decides to spin in the intense, passionate, and emotional seas of Scorpio from October 22, 2023 until November 10, 2023, meaning that our minds will even take a deep dive into our desires. Our conscious minds will be more open to the wells of unconscious, as Scorpio’s energy is probing and fathomless. We may suddenly become obsessed with ideas or concepts. Our darker nature may emerge at this time and our shadow self could be rearing its hunger for us to confront. What are you running from, hiding from, or fearful to face? No matter who you are, by being aware of your shadow self, you can better integrate your awareness with your consciousness. As night cannot exist without day, darkness cannot exist without light. Our darker selves deserve to be embraced, cherished, and understood, rather than hidden away. This awareness can lead us to happier lives. Our intuition will also be heightened.
Fiery Mars energizes the zodiac sign of Libra until October 12, 2023. During this period, relationship matters will become especially important to us—whether they be romantic, business, or collaborative. Flying solo won’t interest us quite as much at this time. Instead, we are more likely to do what it takes to work together. This can lead us to take a more indirect approach to getting what we want or even engage in passive-aggression if we are feeling frustrated in our unions. We are inclined to use our passion and charm as a means to an end during this cycle, yet could find ourselves as more indecisive and uncertain to rock the boat. We will be less likely to resort to force when taking action, but could engage in mental battles or do what it takes to make our opposition uncomfortable—with flair of style, grace, and innocence. No matter where you stand in your relationships, now is the time to align yourself with the right mirror and work toward your goals as a team. Mars, the planet of passion, sex, and drive, will then enter Scorpio from October 12, 2023 until November 24, 2023. We will become more extreme in our emotions and focus on living purely in alignment with what our desires hunger for. Our strength and drive will intensify, as we crave to win, transform, and experience things deeply. Our feelings can become more extreme as we do not want “a middle ground.” We want all or nothing. Mars will bring you the fire you need to propel forward — or burn away what is not working for you.
When the Sun becomes submerged within the stormy seas of Scorpio beginning October 23, 2023 until November 22, 2023, we will collectively be drawn to explore our intimate and passionate needs more closely.
Then, we march toward the lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses are three times more powerful and emotional than full moons. They mark culminations, breakthroughs or breakdowns, triggering a crisis event that causes us to assess our most internal fears, feelings and actions. Oftentimes some of the most memorable moments in our lifetimes take place near solar or lunar eclipses. This lunation will be a lunar eclipse in Taurus (5 degrees)—the final one on the Taurus-Scorpio axis. It takes place on October 28, 2023. We have been experiencing eclipses on this axis since the autumn of 2021, so you will likely see a major conclusion in regards to the stories and situations that have been building since that point in time. Most people will experience the effects and news of this lunar eclipse on the exact day it takes place—or even within the week—but others may instead feel it echoes out weeks before or after, instead. This lunar eclipse is setting up profound themes within all of our lives that will take at least six months to sort out. Because this is a lunar eclipse in Taurus, we will very likely see a shake up around global stock markets, economies and real estate markets. On a personal level, we’ll also be paying attention to our own wealth, assets, and investments. When it comes to astrological aspects coloring this lunation, there are many to consider. The eclipse will be opposite Mercury, bringing a flurry of communication and social activity, as well as opposite Mars, firing up our emotions and desires intensely. We will feel passionate, for good or bad. Yet, the eclipse is also united with Jupiter, the planet of miracles, making this one of the luckiest eclipses we've seen in years. Breakthroughs, joy, "big breaks," fortune, favor, and blessings are all likely to manifest, depending on how we've each been building our lives in the past two years. The eclipse is also linked perfectly with Saturn, ensuring plans and projects launched or decided upon now have staying power, regardless if they are personal or professional. Yet, the eclipse is also clashing with Pluto, although distantly, which could reveal that some form of transformation or metamorphosis is required to move to this next stage in our lives. Venus, the planetary ruler of this lunation, will link with Uranus, ensuring happy surprises, but stands opposite Neptune, which could bring confusion around matters of the heart...or bring a bewitching energy we are consumed by. The best thing to do is to focus, know what you want and what you deserve, and don't let yourself get too carried away with fantasies.
Important dates to remember in October 2023 for love are the 13, 21, 28, 29, and 31. Significant moments to plan for success are the 3, 13, 19, 22, 24, 28, and 29. However, days that could be a bit more challenging are the 2, 8, 9, 20, and 21.

ARIES
October arrives not with a whimper, but with a whirlwind, Aries. In recent months, you likely felt a bit stir-crazy as many things fell through the cracks, were delayed, and you were consumed with situations and relationships of the past. Yet, much of that should have been resolved—or at least granted you some sense of closure—already or will be by October 7, which is when Venus finally catches up to full speed. If there was confusion around matters of the heart—or you reconnected with someone—you should have a clearer perspective going forward. On a positive note, if you reunited, it could truly be a blessed one, but if things are still foggy, then it means you’ve been seeing through rose-colored glasses. At the onset of October, you’re likely still feeling the energy and effects of the full moon that took place in your zodiac sign on September 28, which likely brought a turning point to your path and pushed you to assert yourself. Moving forward, the month ahead will draw significant focus to your important partnerships, as Mars, your planetary ruler, will ignite your relationship sector until the 12th, Mercury will dance across the sky from you bringing you an ability to negotiate and see eye-to-eye all month, and a solar eclipse highlighting this arena appears on the 14th. This solar eclipse will bring destiny to your path, likely causing you to unite closer with a significant partner in business or love. Now or in the six months ahead, you may decide to move in, make long-term plans, get engaged, or even be wed. You are beginning a powerful new cycle around your relationships, which will likely bring you face-to-face with a karmic or destined partner. If single, you could soon be aligning with suitors who possess long-term potential. However, if you are not with the right person, you will likely soon shatter apart to be redirected to your own paths going forward. If in business, you could align with an agent, manager, accountant, assistant, or associate who helps propel you to your goals. This month also holds value for your professional life, as Pluto will awaken in your career arena on the 10th, so watch for important news near this time where you may be taking on a new role or building toward greater levels of success. This energy will linger, potentially paving the way for you to achieve more notoriety, recognition, or glory. While your finances may be a little slower this month with Jupiter retrograde, a lunar eclipse in this financial sphere appears on the 28th. This could bring a milestone moment around income, such as a monumental raise, new job offer, lucrative client, or ability to monetize in new ways. If for some reason an income stream ends—such as losing a job—you are being pushed by the universe to be flexible and practical as you hustle to find something even better and potentially even more lucrative. One last thing to note, though, is to watch your finances, such as big money matters, assets, and investments after the 12th, as you may be spending more on big-ticket items.

TAURUS
October could end up being one of the most important moments in 2023 for you, Taurus. First and foremost, you are still in one of the luckiest periods of your entire life, as Jupiter, the planet of miracles, continues to dance in your zodiac sign. While he is retrograde—or asleep—at this time, you could be particularly focused on reviewing the new beginnings, fresh starts, and plans you’ve built since May. Jupiter is retrograde until the beginning of 2024, so use the months ahead to truly steer your sails in the directions you want, both personally and professionally. Also, a final lunar eclipse in your zodiac sign arrives on October 28, bringing a tremendous milestone and turning point in your life that is emblazoned with destiny. You have felt like life has been a bit rocky and surprising, as your life shifted before your eyes radically since the end of 2021. If you look back since then, you will have seen that your life likely looks very different in at least one significant way. Work, employment, productivity, and health could all be major themes this month, too, with a lot of planetary action keeping you busy and before your eyes. A solar eclipse in this arena appears on the 14th, bringing a fresh start around these themes, as well. You may soon take on a major new responsibility at your job, move to a new employer, or take on an important client. Other ways this could affect you are that you are set to hire staff or bring in a new pet to your home. If for some reason something pops up in regards to health, it will likely be a new beginning, such as a fresh diet or exercise routine that improves your life. Above all, keep in mind to attend to your work and life balance. Last to note will be a large focus on romance and partnerships that arrives this month, too. Venus, your planetary ruler, will smile at your from October 8 to November 8. This will allow you to have more fun, enjoy your hobbies, or see growth in your romantic or creative life. Fertility and matters surrounding children may also bring joy. Mars, the planet of energy, enters your relationship sector beginning the 12th, followed by Mercury, the planet of the mind, on the 22nd, and last by the sun on the 23rd. This ensures that you’ll be deeply focused on where you stand in your connections in business or love. You may also make a great deal of progress on projects and plans side-by-side with another. If looking for the perfect partner, especially if single, this could be a magnificent time to do so. Go for it! Subscribe to the Kyle Thomas Astrology Patreon to gain early access to PREMIUM CONTENT.
GEMINI
October should be a rather exciting and pleasant month for you, Gemini. At the onset of it, you will likely still be feeling the festive energy from the full moon that appeared on September 28. This likely surrounded you by many friends, fans, or followers, as you connected with communities that you cherish. This may have brought an achievement or celebration to you, as well. If you’d like to join a cause, volunteer, or network, this would be a phenomenal time to do so. The next major theme to pay attention to will be passion! For many weeks, Mars, the planet of energy, has been supercharged in your sector of passion, igniting your heart’s desires. This could have made you very busy around one of the following themes: romance, dating, sex, hobbies, creativity, sports, or children. This could bring a zesty romantic life, regardless if single or attached, so if looking for someone, put yourself out there! Your planetary ruler, Mercury, will turn your mind to these themes even more after the 4th. To add even more fuel, a solar eclipse on the 14th will bring destiny your way around these themes, too! If dating, you could find a soulmate or realize you’re falling in love. If coupled up, you could see a destined moment with your lover or find out about a pregnancy. If you have children, one of them may absolutely delight you. Last, if you are artistic, you could create a masterpiece to much applause. Another factor taking your attention this month will be a need to rest, recharge, and lie low. This is due to Jupiter retrograde in your sector of solitude and privacy, as well as the arrival of a lunar eclipse here on the 28th. On one hand, this could simply push you to hibernate and spend some time licking your wounds or may encourage you to meet with a specialist, such as a dentist or psychiatrist. Another way this could affect you is by bringing a major secret out into the open that you will have to damage control. Finally, you may also have a major breakthrough behind-the-scenes on a project you’re developing in secret. October could have you juggling work or health matters too, though, as Mars ignites your productivity sector after the 12th. If you’d like to start a new fitness regiment, try a new diet, or look for a new job, the stars are on your side. Make it happen!

CANCER
October will bring many different areas of life for you to juggle, Cancer. First and foremost, there is a major focus on your domestic life, with Mars, Mercury, and a solar eclipse all bringing attention here. Mars will keep you busy around home, family, real estate, or domestic matters until the 12th, but a solar eclipse ignites this sector on the 14th. Now—or in the six months to come—an exciting new beginning around one of these themes will arrive. This could be the decision to move, renovate, redecorate, or change roommates. If for some reason you need to step in to help a family member or parent, do so with grace, as you always do. October could bring some opportunities for travel, too, especially short-distance travel to nearby destinations or to see siblings after the 8th. Yet, that’s not all, your personal life will certainly be buzzing all month, too! This is because Mars, the planet of energy, is firing up your passion zone after the 12th, joined by Mercury on the 22nd and the sun on the 23rd. With so much energy here, your heart will be enflamed! This brings a great deal of activity to your life around one of the following themes: romance, dating, sex, creativity, fertility, children, hobbies, or sports. No matter what, embrace the exciting pace to life. If single, this is a tremendous time to put yourself out there and line up fresh suitors. You could find someone that captivates your heart and soul. Friendships and communities will also grow around you this month, especially if returning to connections from the past. This is all due to Jupiter spinning happily in your sector of joy, although retrograde at this time. A lunar eclipse highlighting your friendships, hopes, and dreams arrives on the 28th. This could bring a milestone event, award, or celebration your way near this time, as well as surround you by many people who adore you. However, a friend could be “eclipsed out” of your life near this time, paving the way for new connections. Networking, online dating, and popularity are all key energies now, too. One last thing to note is that Pluto, the planet of intensity, is standing across the sky from you and will awaken on the 10th. Watch for significant changes or insight about relationships in the days that surround it. You may glean clues about how a major relationship in business or love is evolving down the line.

LEO
October will keep you on your toes, Leo, but you will likely enjoy the brisk pace! First and foremost, you’ve been “lost in the fog” around all matters of the heart and beauty for many months, but the clouds will part as of October 7. If you had confusion, reconnected with someone, or altogether were uncertain of what was up and what was down, everything should finally be settled by this date. For instance, if you rekindled a rapport with an ex or old friend, you should have more confidence if it’s for the long haul or was just a flash in the pan by now. The next exciting theme will be around travel, ideas, and communication-related projects for you, as Mars will make you bustle right along until the 12th, with Mercury energizing this sphere most of the month, and finally a solar eclipse bringing a destined new beginning on the 14th. In the six months to come, you may notice you are jetting around to nearby destinations much more readily. Another way this could affect you is by encouraging you to embark more on writing, speaking, advertising, or contractual endeavors. Learning, teaching, and updating certifications may also become more important, as well. On another note, if you’ve been having challenges around work or money, things should also move to another level forward this month, too. Venus will glide through your financial zone after the 8th, and you still have mighty Jupiter, the planet of luck, in your career sector—although he is presently asleep. On one hand, this could be slowing some matters down in order for you to experience more of a “development” phase, but be aware that the lunar eclipse on the 28th could bring a major destined turning point. For some of you, this could be a glorious promotion, recognition, new job offer, or opportunity for glory and fame. Yet, if you lose a job or realize a current industry is not aligning for you, this could be the time you go back to the drawing board to decide a better plan of attack. Most of next year will bring opportunities for success, so don’t worry, even if things shock and surprise you at the end of the month. Last to note will be a larger focus on your domestic life, whether that be family, real estate, or home situations. Mars gets active here after the 12th, so you could soon be moving, renovating, redecorating, or stepping in to aid a family member or parent. The situations that build now will certainly echo into November so be prepared for more changes around these themes.

VIRGO
Finally, after months of feeling like you’ve been crawling on your knees to make progress, October will arrive with a much brisker pace for you, Virgo. At the onset of the month, you’ll still be feeling the energy of a full moon from September 28 that highlighted your assets, settlements, and large-money matters. You could be seeing a big surge come in or out. Money will be a key theme this month, especially with Mars cranking up your urge to make more—as well as increasing your expenses—until the 12th. Luckily, you’ll have some other positive energy on your side to increase your wealth with Mercury dashing forward and a solar eclipse in your financial sector appearing on the 14th. This ensures that in the months ahead, you could see a raise, lucrative client, new job offer, or an opportunity to build new monetization into your plans. Solar eclipses always bring destined new beginnings, so you should keep your eyes on the prize. Happiness, pleasure, love, and romance are also on the menu for you this month, as Venus joins your zodiac sign from October 8 until November 8. This is a fantastic time to update your look, focus on beauty, or try to ignite your heart’s joy. Singles have a great opportunity to meet someone new, while couples can enjoy more magical moments. Pay attention to the time around the 10th, as Pluto will awaken in your passion zone, which could bring a transformative experience around romance, creativity, hobbies, or fertility. The next major theme for you this month will center on expanding your horizons, whether in the form of travel or intellectual pursuits. A lunar eclipse in your expansion arena rocks the heavens on the 28th, which could bring a major opportunity to pursue long-distance travel, immigration, media endeavors, legalities, or academic plans. With Jupiter in this sector, you should certainly be feeling more growth personally and professionally. Mars, the planet of energy, will ignite your mind and desire for change after the 12th, adding Mercury’s curiosity, and the sun’s strength after the 23rd.

LIBRA
Birthday season is in full swing as we prance into October, Libra. You will have so much cosmic energy on your side, with Mars adding firepower, courage, and magnetism to you until the 12th. Mercury, our planet of the mind, will bring activity and clarity to you from the 4th until the 22nd, and you’ll still have the grandiosity of the sun in your corner until the 23rd. Ultimately, this is saying you have more strength on your side—more than you’ve had in two years! Launch projects, plans, and initiatives and seize the day to create the life of your dreams personally or professionally. Then, with a solar eclipse in your zodiac sign on the 14th, you’ll be feeling the urge to emerge like a phoenix, try on a new you, and debut your desires before the world. A whole new chapter of your life is just beginning, so set forth to embrace your most authentic self. However, at the onset of month, you could still be paying extra special attention to your relationships, as a full moon in your partnership zone arrived at the end of September. This could have brought you closer with a significant other, such as moving in, getting engaged, signing a contract, or making long-term plans, or instead caused you to separate and go your separate ways. You seem to be the one with more power at this time, though, so regardless of what you decide, be confident in it. Another point to pay attention to will be an important change around your home, family, domestic life, or real estate in the days surrounding the 10th. This is due to Pluto awakening and bringing a transformation that has been months in the making. Last to note will be a significant focus around your money and belongings. A lunar eclipse in your sector of other-people’s money on the 28th could trigger a negotiation, settlement, or shift in regards to your assets or investments. If you’d like to sell or buy, this could be an auspicious period. Yet, watch your finances, because Mars will be increasing your expenses and desire to make more after the 12th until November 24. Mercury could give you a boost in business after the 22nd, while the sun will bring his light for the entire month after the 23rd. This is all good news to focus on long-term growth and plans.

SCORPIO
October will signal a major turning point in your 2023, Scorpio. However, the initial weeks may be a bit slower and reflective, as you are assessing what you’ve built in the past twelve months. A great deal of planetary energy—including a solar eclipse on the 14th—will be causing you to lie low, rest, and recharge. In truth, you may even be hard at work in development on a project behind-the-scenes, or handling situations with specialists, such as a therapist, dentist, or other professional. The arrival of this solar eclipse is particularly important, though, because it shows that the themes taking place now will echo out for the coming six months—and are destined in nature. If you’d like closure, healing, or solitude, you may begin a path to do so—especially if you’re haunted by fears, addictions, or the past. Yet, a surge of energy is coming your way after the 12th when your co-planetary ruler, Mars, ignites your zodiac sign until November 24. Having Mars in your zodiac sign is a major event because it reveals that you have more energy, dominance, and magnetism to create the life of your dreams personally and professionally. This can bring you more confidence, sex appeal, and fuel than you’ve had in nearly two years. Use it wisely and launch important initiatives now! Mercury joins your zodiac sign after the 22nd, bringing you more clarity and communicative prowess, and the sun announces that birthday season is here for you after the 23rd. Whenever the sun orbits in your zodiac sign—especially near your birthday, or solar return—you shine more brightly and have more opportunity to create patterns you’d like to grow for the entire year to come. Embrace your desires and get moving! Also, with Venus dashing through your social sector from the 8th until November 8th, you’ll be more popular than ever! This bodes well for attending fabulous events, dating, and receiving recognition. Last to note will be the arrival of a final lunar eclipse in your partnership zone on the 28th. This could signal significant changes in your main personal or professional relationship, such as moving in, getting engaged, signing contracts, or planning for the long-term. However, if you’re not on the same page, you could very quickly be going your separate ways. This will all be destined in nature, but luckily, with Jupiter, the planet of luck, on your side in this same sector, you will ultimately be happy with the results, no matter what happens. Singles should certainly use this month—and time—to line up dates with individuals who may have long-term potential. If you’re looking for the right business partner, too, such as an agent, manager, accountant, or assistant, you could also be in luck. Happy Birthday, Scorpio!

SAGITTARIUS
The pace of life is back on track, Sagittarius. October could certainly bring lots of fun and opportunities for growth. With Venus still in a Fire sign until the 8th, this will push you toward more happiness both personally and professionally. The sun, Mercury, and Mars are also adding extra attention to your social life, likely seeing you particularly busy with events, gatherings, and parties. This surge of energy becomes even more noticeable after the social eclipse on the 14th, which announces a milestone event could soon be on your docket. This signals that now and in the six months to come, you could also experience a growing network, add new soulmate pals to your life, or even experience more online dating. Speaking of romance, the full moon at the end of September will still be echoing into October, likely signaling a turning point around love, fertility, hobbies, or creativity.

Draw up your vision board and reach to the stars. While there will also be a greater focus on rest, privacy, solitude, and working on projects behind-the-scenes this month, too, and until November 24, there is also a surge of attention around your professional life and finances. Pay attention to any changes in regards to money near the 10th, as Pluto will awaken in your financial zone. For instance, if you’ve been waiting for a raise or payout, this could soon be back on the Chessboard. Mercury brings activity to your career until the 4th, yet Venus brings dazzle and applause to you from the 8th until November 8. Bosses, authority figures, and those in power will favor you then. Last, a lunar eclipse will bring a major transition in your employment and work-life balance near the 28th. On one hand, this could see the end of a job, client, or certain responsibilities as you transition to a different employer or role. Some of you may find that you’re busier than ever, polishing off projects and taking on many major responsibilities. Yet, if none of these are to take place, some other ways this could affect you is around a coworker leaving, the hiring or firing of someone who works for you, the acquisition or ending of a pet in your life, or the culmination to a significant health-related matter. Luckily, with Jupiter, the planet of luck, orbiting in this arena, things should ultimately shake out in your favor.

CAPRICORN
The universe is cranking right along and you’re back to business, Capricorn! At the onset of October, though, you could still be dealing with a transition around your home, family, or real estate, triggered by the full moon at the end of September. This could be in regards to moving, renovating, or stepping in to help a family member. Next up, though, will be a busy schedule around work and career. Mercury will dash through this sector, bringing activity or contracts, from the 4th until the 22nd.

Most excitingly, though, is the arrival of a solar eclipse in your career on the 14th. This signals that now and in the six months ahead, major new beginnings in your career could be at hand. Some of you could see promotions, new job offers, awards, or acclaim—or realize you’re unfulfilled and want to shift your career and path in a new direction altogether. With Venus moving through your expansion zone from October 8 to November 8, some of you could even be curious about going back to school or updating credentials, handling important legalities, pursuing international business or relations, or getting involved with the media or publishing. I know that is a wide net of possibilities, but one area should shine—or at the very least, you may decide it’s time to take a rejuvenating vacation and venture on a long-distance trip to clear your head. Pay attention to everything that takes place near the 10th, as Pluto in you zodiac sign will awaken. Something major you’ve been percolating on in your plans and desires has likely evolved in recent months, and the turning point will likely make itself known near this time.

AQUARIUS
While September—and the months prior, even—felt like you were walking through quicksand, October is popping off with news, Aquarius. Venus, the planet of attraction, will also remain across the sky from you until the 8th. She has been here for many months, but if you’d like to find a significant other or make long-term plans, this is when you must seize the day. From October 8 until November 8, she will add more sensuality and trust to existing relationships, but make it more challenging for singles to find a significant other. Another way her later transit may affect you is by bringing more money to you from others or aiding in a settlement or around assets and investments. Another major theme for you this month will likely be around travel or intellectual pursuits. At the onset of October, you’ll still likely be feeling the full moon that appeared September 28. This could have seen you bounding around to nearby locations or even debuting an important contractual or intellectual communication-related project. The sun, Mercury, Mars, and a solar eclipse are also pushing you in vast new directions in October. This is particularly true after the solar eclipse on the 14th, which sets up destined new beginnings for the six months head. One of the following areas will be spot lit for you, as you venture into new territory: international travel or business, immigration, long-distance connections, academic endeavors, spiritual communities, legalities, or media projects. No matter how you are affected, you’ll be eager to get a move on and excited by the fresh opportunities coming your way. Next to pay attention to will be a mighty shift in regards to your home, family, domestic life, or real estate, as a lunar eclipse arrives on the 28th. Some of you could be moving, renovating, redecorating, or stepping in to help one of your kindred. With Jupiter in this sector, no matter what happens, you should ultimately like the results down the line even if something shocking appears. Last to mention will be the surge of momentum certain to ignite in your professional life, as Mars stampedes into this arena after the 12th, joined by Mercury on the 22nd and the sun on the 23rd. In the many weeks ahead, you could find that you make a tremendous amount of progress in your career, climb further up the professional ladder, or launch a big endeavor that brings great attention to you. If you’d like to find a better job, the time could soon be here. Go for it! Subscribe to the Kyle Thomas Astrology Patreon to gain early access to PREMIUM CONTENT.
PISCES
October is here, and you’ll certainly be in your emotions, Pisces. This is due to a great level of energy that highlights your sector of trust, intimacy, and shared resources. The sun, Mercury, Mars, and a solar eclipse all station here this month, likely seeing you deeply attentive to what you give and receive in personal or professional unions. The solar eclipse on the 14th is setting up many new beginnings for you in the six months ahead, so be prepared to attend to everything that pops up now during that time. On one hand, this could see you bringing more assets, investments, royalties, or bonuses your way, or create the need to handle a major settlement. In truth, couples and those in partnerships will deal with this energy more significantly, as it doesn’t really affect singles, as much. Money could also be especially on the top of your mind at the onset of the month, with the full moon from September echoing into this time. This could have triggered a raise, beginning or ending of a job, or a hefty expense. Next up will be the movement of Venus, the planet of pleasure, moving across the sky from you from October 8 until November 8. This ensures that relationship matters should improve and people will be more amicable to you across the board—personally and professionally. Luckily, this energy can help those in unions to make long-term plans and have more fun together or singles to find someone with staying potential.

Also, you could hear news that heartfelt hope, dream, or goal is now coming your way! Next up, there is a focus on travel and intellectual pursuits.

Mars, planet of activity, moves into your expansion zone after the 12th, followed by Mercury on the 22nd and the sun on the 23rd.
