On October 13, Mercury's ingress in Scorpio makes our communication more emotional. This is a time to face the past so we can move forward with more confidence. Scorpio energy wants us to do the work to become more trusting and empowered.
On October 17, the Full Moon in Aries adds another wave of emotions, bringing us back to the April 8 solar eclipse. But things might feel more gentle and manageable since Venus, the planet of love, enters Sagittarius on the same day, adding more optimism, hope, and harmony.
Finally, the Sun enters Scorpio on October 22, initiating the vibrant Scorpio season that will allow us to learn and grow as we continue our transformation.
