Welcome to your monthly horoscope for October 2022—it's a jam-packed month! October is one of the most crucial months to pay attention to, as a lot of key planetary players will perform significant changes. A total of three planets (Mercury, Pluto, Saturn) and two asteroids end their retrogrades, instigating ambition and forward movement. Eclipse season also begins towards the end of the month, adding a dash of “destined energy” to an already eventful October. 

We begin the month in Libra season, the archetype of beauty, harmony, and artistry. We will desire to relate and spend time with people, as Libra is one of the most social signs. We will also be seeking pleasure and we shall find it. With Mercury going direct on October 2 after the third Mercury retrograde of 2022 and lover Venus being incredibly strong until October 22, fixing relationship issues and attracting love and romance is now much easier. Saturday, October 22, in particular, is an auspicious day for dates and even for attracting the partner of our dreams, as Venus meets with the Sun.

This month’s full moon arrives on Sunday, October 9 and brings a special moment along our journey. The focus is on healing past relationship issues, and how we see them as mirrors. At this powerful lunar event, giving up seeing ourselves through someone else’s eyes will allow us to embrace our authenticity. 

Sunday, October 23 brings a major change in energy as the Sun enters Scorpio, officially kicking off eclipse season. Eclipses are the tools the universe uses to bring change into your lives. Karma and destiny are at play, bringing major moments of surrender. Huge energy change will take place around the October 27 new moon eclipse in Scorpio. Crucial information that will be key to your evolution will come to light, so dive right in and listen up! 

To end the month with a bang, the planet of abundance and luck Jupiter is in retrograde and enters Pisces. This movement reawakens themes from earlier this year, bringing back situations that took place between December 28, 2021 and May 11, 2022.
