October 2025 Astrology & Energy Forecast: Transformation, Trines & Turning Points
October is a month of transformation and redirection. This month, we’re moving from Libra’s focus on balance and harmony into Scorpio’s depths of truth and rebirth. Along the way, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius, Neptune returns to Pisces, and multiple Grand Trines bring much-needed harmony and flow into our lives.
So what the heck does all of that even mean?
October is a month of endings, fresh starts, and smoother daily flow. We move from Libra’s scales of balance into Scorpio’s depth, which means surface-level ANYTHING won’t cut it anymore.
We’re being asked to face what’s authentic and real and transform because of it. Pluto moving direct pushes us to act on the inner growth we’ve been working on since Spring, while Neptune’s return to Pisces reopens unfinished chapters from the last 13 years so we can finally close them.
Thankfully, the Grand Trines (when three or more planets are all within 120 degrees of each other), this month bring harmony and ease, love, money, and long-term plans to help you move forward more smoothly.
This is a month of both courage and surrender. It's a month of balancing light with dark, clear understanding mixed with some mystery. Let’s walk through the big cosmic events first, then dive into guidance for every zodiac sign.
October 6 – Mercury enters Scorpio + Full Moon in Aries
This is a day that cuts through the fluff. Conversations might get deeper than usual, and you may find yourself asking questions you’ve been avoiding. The Full Moon in Aries puts the spotlight on your independence are you honoring your needs, or are you losing yourself in keeping the peace? Expect clarity (and maybe some blunt truths).
October 13 – Venus enters Libra + Pluto goes direct in Aquarius
Big day. Venus moves into Libra, reminding us of the joy of connection, beauty, and harmony. Relationships get sweeter, but they also need honesty so no glossing over what’s not working. Meanwhile, Pluto shifts direct after months of retrograde (moving backwards). Think of it like this: all the shadow work you’ve been doing since May? Now you’re being asked to live it out loud. This is why journaling and tracking really matters. It let's you look back on where you were and what was going on Astrologically with you at any given time. Changes in power dynamics, career direction, or personal empowerment become more obvious.
October 21 – New Moon in Libra
Fresh start energy. Woo hoo!! This is your chance to set intentions around relationships, parterships and collaborations, and how you balance “me vs. we.” It may not be totally smooth as old wounds or trust issues could pop up but this New Moon wants you to do relationships differently this time and from a healthier place.
October 22 – Neptune returns to Pisces + Sun enters Scorpio
MARK YOUR CALENDAR! This is the turning point of the month. Neptune slides back into Pisces, revisiting themes you’ve been cycling through since 2012 spirituality, creativity, illusions, and compassion. If there’s old unfinished business, it may resurface now so you can finally close the loop. And with the Sun entering Scorpio the same day, things get real real real. Scorpio season doesn’t let you hide. It’s about honesty, endings, transformation, and reclaiming your power.
October 29 – Mercury enters Sagittarius (opposite Uranus in Gemini)
The month ends on a hot diggity spark. Mercury in Sagittarius broadens your mind and makes you hungry for big ideas, mindful expansion and exploration of beliefs you may not have ever considered. Conversations turn bold, travel or learning opportunities may pop up, and with Uranus in the mix, surprises are likely. Stay flexible becasue the best ideas or opportunities may come out of the blue.
This Month Feels Different Because...
It’s not just the intensity of Libra–Scorpio season shifts. We’ve also got multiple Grand Trines which are like smooth highways in the middle of the rocky universe. The Grand Trine in Air supports love, money, and creative breakthroughs, while the Grand Trine in Water helps with healing, emotional growth, and long-term plans. Yes, October asks us to face some hard realities, but the Universe is also giving us supportive energy to make things easier when we lean into the flow.📓 Grab my NEW Astrology Notion Template that's more simplified, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing (now on sale)!!!
