We continue with eclipse season – we had one on Sept 18 and the upcoming solar eclipse is on October 2nd. This October eclipse will help us progress and move forward in life. Jupiter turns retrograde from Oct 9 till Feb 4.
New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo on October 2nd
First event of the month is the solar eclipse taking place in Virgo – in Hasta on Oct 2nd. This eclipse is aspected by Jupiter from taurus and mars from Gemini.
Its an excellent eclipse to manifest a long cherished goal or desire. Being organised, paying attention to detail, getting your health in order are all favourable activities now. You may feel restlessness and notice reactiveness in others now though as well as yourself.
Things are moving quickly and many things could be unfolding at once now. Great time for beginning new chapters, and there would be a feeling of being in control despite having an eclipse now. Blessings are with us now – good news can be there now, esp if you have planets in mutable signs. Communications can be forceful but clear now.
Venus is in Libra till October 13, then in Scorpio
Venus in is top shape in Libra – its mooltrikona sign. On October 13th Venus moves into Scorpio and stays till Nov 7th
This is a difficult transit for Venus, here it also receives the aspect of Jupiter, Saturn, as well as Rahu. So go slow if you have just met someone, if in a rel, now you can uncover some secrets about your partner
Mercury transits Libra from October 10 till October 30
Mercury’s transit is beneficial all month – through its mooltrikona exalted sign of Virgo. And then through its friendly sign Libra. Mercury moves into Libra and joins his friend Venus there on October 10th till October 30.
Its an excellent transit and receives no aspects – you will be in the mood to socialise. Its an excellent transit for business activities, esp if you are self-employed.
Sun transits Libra from October 17 till November 16
Sun makes its way into Libra from Oct 17 till Nov 16. This is a tough transit for the Sun, its in its debility and the sign of its enemy. And venus is not well placed, as its in Scorpio – vitality can feel low at this time.
Full Moon in Aries in Ashwini on October 17
As soon as the Sun moves into Libra there is a full moon taking place in Aries in gandanta degree of Ashwini. This full moon similar to the solar eclipse suggests a new chapter in our lives. Here is when you may run into some obstacle that needs to be addressed.
Mars in the 3rd from the moon and Ketu in the 6th suggests that you will succeed in removing any roadblocks now, and may even get some assistance in this regard.
Mars transits Gemini till October 20, then in Cancer
Mars continues its journey in Gemini for most of the month. Relationships can be under scrutiny, too much obsessive thoughts, miscommunication, pettiness can also arise now with Mars in Gemini.
Mars makes it way to Cancer on October 21st. Despite its debility here, Mars is in its friends’ sign. But this can lead to passive aggressive actions.
With Rahu’s aspect, Mars can behave in an underhanded way now, there can be deception. Things may not be as they seem, so step back and review situations you are in, esp concerning any domestic or rel matters. Mars throws its 4th aspect onto libra again suggesting rel upheaval – wanting to control outcomes in rel matters. Here you can feel more self-centered and neglect important rels. Its 8th aspect goes onto Saturn and here you can see some twists and turns so see what Aquarius represents for you.
Scorpio Heavily Activated
On Oct 30th, Mercury moves into Scorpio joining Venus there. Again there is a lot of emphasis on scorpio – sudden changes are in store. Money matters, rel and domestic matters can see some big shifts.
To get an idea on where you can experience these changes it would be best to see where Scorpio is in your chart. As more than half the planets are aspecting or present in Scorpio. First half of month will feel very different than second half. In the second half you may undergo some big shifts – perhaps a new horizon, a new life direction will open up for you
Next month will have an easier energy – where path ahead will become more clear.
