The eclipse season has arrived. Eclipses have a point or origination, and they develop in cycles called Saros Cycles. The 7 South eclipses for October 2023 are known for sudden breakthroughs and things moving at warp speed. You can move through obstacles quickly now, so it’s wise to remain fluid, flexible, and ready to shift. The New Moon Solar Eclipse of October 14rh (21 Libra) is preceded by a dynamic Mars trine Saturn exact on the 13th. Keep in mind that Libra is a cardinal air sign. There are some critical planetary aspects leading up to this eclipse – Mars square Pluto on Oct 8 and Venus opposing Saturn on the 10th. Certainly avoid personal conflicts and stay on the Balanced and Justice side of Libra.
Next, is the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on October 28th. On this day both Mercury and Mars oppose Jupiter. The next day, Sunday, Oct 29th Mercury conjuncts Mars, and most dynamically, the Moon travels through Taurus, activating Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Uranus. This Lunar Eclipse is one to stay tuned. Pay attention. And, be ready for something good to come your way.
Pluto stations direct on October 10th in the 28th degree of Capricorn. This gets the cosmic train in gear, but Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and even Chiron are still retrograde. Use this time wisely for creativity and setting intentions. Mars square Pluto on October 8th serves up a day of reckoning. Practice being your best ‘adult’ on the 8th because Venus opposing Saturn on October 10th promises a price to pay for implementing ill advised decisions. In addition to the dynamic eclipses, one of the more dramatic days this month is Oct 22nd, when Venus and Mercury both trine Jupiter.
Embrace this month as your sacred space for reflection and alignment. Your destiny isn’t just written in the stars; it’s also written in your ability to adapt and evolve.

Gemini (May 20 – June 19)
Dear Gemini, October promises to bring some relief as Mercury, your ruling planet, finally and for really real is in direct motion. Now, everything makes more sense, and you day to day activities have predictability and order. Although you may feel a greater sense of clarity and alignment, don’t rush to hit the accelerator just yet.
You’re still under the influence of four other planet plus Chiron – still in retrograde motion. Jupiter and Uranus enrich in your 12th solar house, pushing you to explore the deeper layers of your unconscious. Meanwhile, Neptune and Saturn in your 10th solar house place emphasis on career and ambition, but not in the way you might prefer. You may feel like you’re stuck on clean-up duty, tying up loose ends rather than making strides in business. It’s time to lay the foundations for your future and Neptune washes away all which is not going to be beneficial 5 years from now
Though your nature craves speed and quick results, the celestial bodies counsel patience for now. This month is a lesson in timing; the stars are asking you to sit tight, evaluate, and plan. Keep an eye out for the cosmic signals; when the time is right, you’ll know.

Greetings Cancer. October serves as a pivotal month for you, with a strong emphasis on long-term goals and personal growth.

However, pay attention to the stars. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on October 28th brings challenges, forming a dynamic T-square with Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. This cosmic configuration puts you in a position where confrontations could be more harmful than helpful. Although you may feel compelled to assert your authority, this isn’t the time for impulsive or thoughtless actions. The first rule under these celestial circumstances is simple: avoid hasty confrontation. Instead, lead with the wisdom and courage that make you a natural leader.
October may test you to align with your true desires, and it’s also shaping you into a wiser, more resilient individual.
