October follows up a fiery and complicated September. October will have some fires of his own, with a strong Pluto stationary, Jupiter in Cancer and later on Mars in Scorpio.

Going a little back, to something I’ve mentioned in last month’s predictions:

The years ahead are a time of major change and maybe chaos. But going back to the short term, this intensification now can indicate strong signals or strong events. Issues being raised this month will tend to act as red flags, or clues, towards bigger events later on.

Two events that stand-out in September, to me, are the political revolution in Nepal and the assassination of American political-commentator Charlie Kirk. Both events represent a fiery violence coming into play, and expanding in the coming years. The years ahead will deal a lot with intensity and, at times, violence.

Going into October itself, Pluto will go direct on the 14th. It will remain stationary for most of October, and forming a trine to Uranus, this will keep this intensity alive in the world. Chaotic events and turbulences are a strong possibility under this influence. October continues the trend of September.

A secondary big point of October is the temporary shift from Jupiter in Gemini to Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter will enter Cancer on October 18th, remaining in the sign until December 5th, when it will return to Gemini until June 1st next year.

Jupiter in Gemini is an unfocused energy, always expanding, always looking for variety and moving in multiple directions. Many times, causing some confusion or uncertainty. On the other hand, Jupiter in Cancer is a very focused energy, being a cardinal sign and the exaltation of Jupiter. As such, this October-December period shows a time of clear-cut action. It is a moment of strong, forceful and resolute pushes.

Gemini coming back, in December, will bring back some of the lightness and carelessness until the middle of 2026. Still, the combined influence of this Jupiter now with other factors points to an intense moment.

The final main point I see in October is Mars in Scorpio, a shift that will happen around the 27th. Mars will be in Scorpio from then until December 7th. Mars in Scorpio is a vicious, vindictive and choleric influence. From my humble experience, Mars in Scorpio transits many times deal with violence and conflict coming into play. From that, I can see November being a turbulent month this year. I also find it worth giving this early warning about it.

The Full Moon this month happens in Revati nakshatra, that deals a lot with great knowledge, great illusions and wealth. Early October can deal with illusions being shattered, or strong pushes towards toning down people. It’s a time where pressure is being exerted, molding people and institutions.

Venus will enter Virgo on October 9th, remaining there until November 2nd. Virgo is the sign of debilitation for Venus, not being very conductive towards agreements and relationships. Venus in Virgo deals a lot with disagreements and disharmony. So that will contribute to the unpleasant and conflicted nature of this month.

Mid-October has the Sun entering Libra, which is the debilitation sign for the Sun. The Sun in Libra transit always highlights issues in leadership, conflict between leaders and a sense of uncertainty in regards to power.

The New Moon this month happens on Chitra nakshatra, and it has some very interesting aspects. First, it will form a Yod with Uranus and Neptune. The yod is known as the “finger of destiny” and it indicates forceful and complicated events. Another aspect is a square to Pluto, showing a time of power clashes. This New Moon shares a theme of illusions and deception with the Full Moon.

After the New Moon, the Sun will form a square to Pluto on the 24th, which can promote some turmoil around that week.

Summary

Mundane

October can deal a lot with conflict, intensity and turbulences around the world. The Uranus trine Pluto influence, with us for the next few years, is very active and strong right now. So chaotic and transformative events are a great possibility now.

This month, Jupiter will enter Cancer temporarily, until early December. Jupiter in Gemini promotes uncertainty, and 2025 was certainly uncertain. This Cancer influence will focus things. Adding this with the other factors of the month, I see a lot of intensity and complications.

The month will end with Mars entering Scorpio, a sign that can deal a lot with chaos and violence, so October will end with a bang. Overall, October and November will tend to follow the trends of September, making this a very intense moment.

Some key dates: 14th, 17th, the week around the 18th, 24th, 27th and onwards.

Personal

The intensity of October affects us, and we can be more passionate and resolute. Jupiter in Cancer will also make us more certain, and less confused, so October has some good energy for pushing ahead with things. October can be a month of big decisions and great changes.

September, with the Eclipses, was filled with information and discovery. Still, it was a confusing month. Some of us felt like a deer in headlights, with so much happening and so much information. This month, things become clearer and it is easier to move forward.
