All in Water Signs
October’s cosmic forecast is relatively chill…until it’s absolutely not. Libra season (through the 22nd) brings us love, beauty and connection: All of the Venusian good feelings. But just when things feel like they’re picking up again, Scorpio season delivers another round of upheaval and unknowns.
Spooky season is always glimmering with magic, so take advantage of it! Your career horoscope for October 2022 wants you to manifest your dream life, which can only happen if you’re open to cooperating with success. Although Libra season is forcing you to bring your A-game, you’re learning so much about how to forge business partnerships that have the power to last.
Are you ready to fall more deeply in love than ever before? Your love horoscope for October 2022 beckons intense, radical change that alters the timelines of love. Singles and couples may find that their romantic standards will undergo profound introspection. Focus on developing a heartfelt relationship instead of obsessing over romantic and sensual desires. After all, Libra is known for being the biggest flirt and a huge tease for a reason!
Into the cocoon you go! With the Sun in Libra and your private eighth house until October 23, you may be spending more time in the depths of the emotion ocean. It’s safe to peek above the surface now, though. After September’s SIX retrograde planets messed with even the best-laid plans, you might be a little shy about it!
Luckily, three of those backspinning luminaries will correct course this October: communication planet Mercury (October 2), transformational Pluto (October 8) and structured Saturn (October 23).
You’ll emerge from hiding once the Sun moves into Scorpio and your ninth house of travel, adventure and growth for a month on October 23. Ah, that’s more like it! At the October 25 Scorpio solar eclipse, an exciting opportunity to see new horizons could arrive out of the blue. Get ready: this eclipse could bring anything from a vacation to an opportunity to start a business to an invitation to share your expertise.
Surprise treat: On October 28, lucky Jupiter will make its third and final trip to your sign until December 20. For the rest of the year, you can get back to one of your cherished personal goals. Put your loved ones on alert, because stressful Mars turns retrograde from October 30 to January 12 in Gemini and your domestic zone. Demands and pressure from the family could cut into this sacred “me time” that won’t come back for another 12 years. Teach them to fish, Fish…and you’ll all feast for a lifetime.
You might not be up for howling at the Halloween moon this year, as it falls in Aquarius and your sleepy, foggy twelfth house. The candy bowl might not even be cleaned out by trick or treaters before you’re ready to hit the porch lights and watch “It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” (or your favorite terrifying horror flick). Pro tip: Slip in a nap before sundown so you can stay up to enjoy the adventures that also await. No Pisces should miss the opportunity to slip into an alter ego and exercise their imaginations—least of all one that’s mandated by the calendar!
Get ready for a turning point month, Scorpio! Things may get off to a slower start during Libra season, while the Sun is in your sleepy twelfth house. But it’s game on once the Sun moves into your sign on October 23. The headline news is the October 25 Scorpio solar (new moon) eclipse. Hosting a new moon in your sign is already a big deal, since it only happens once a year. But when this one arrives as a change-making eclipse, you get a huge push into a new life chapter. Ready or not, here it comes!
This month will be quite a change from September, which had SIX retrograde planets slowing down the action. Even if you wanted to unleash your Scorpionic superpowers, it may have felt like there were obstacles at every turn. Good news: Three of these planets (Mercury, Pluto and Saturn) will correct course this October, restoring your momentum.
As mentioned, there’s a Scorpio solar eclipse on October 23, which puts the spotlight on you. Spoiler: Two weeks later, on November 8, a Taurus lunar (full moon) eclipse will bring a powerful moment to your relationships.
And that’s not all! On October 28, expansive Jupiter leaves Aries and your wellness sector, taking one last dip into Pisces and your passionate fifth house until December 20. Get ready for some sexy celebrations this holiday season! But watch for those bouts of Scorpionic jealousy and intensity while Mars turns retrograde in Gemini and your intense eighth house form October 30 to January 12.
Halloween, which is typically a Scorpio national holiday, might find you in more homebody spirits thanks to the moon in Aquarius and your domestic fourth house. Don’t force yourself to go out—or at least, give yourself permission to slip out early if you feel the urge. With the Sun, social Mercury and romantic Venus in your sign, there are just as many reasons to throw together a va-va-vampire outfit and a thick winged liner. A tantalizing treat could await!
How about a little rest after that non-stop September? Life had you on the move, but with six planets in wayward retrograde, there were also lots of pivots and pauses. Now, you’re ready to do some of your famous Cancerian nesting, and Libra season is prime time for that. Until October 23, the Sun is in your homey fourth house, beckoning you to rejuvenate in your well-appointed Crab shell.
But don’t fall asleep in there! The October 9 Aries full moon will activate your career sector and bring a shining professional moment. Three of the retrograde planets—Mercury, Saturn and Pluto—also wake up from their naps. And the month ends with the first of two life-changing eclipses, right in time for Halloween!
If you’re hankering to hunker under your velvety blankets binge-ing House of the Dragon, do that earlier in the month. Once Scorpio season hits on October 23, you’ll be ready to get back out and enjoy life to the fullest. The October 25 Scorpio eclipse could bring a change to your love life or a creative opportunity that puts your name in lights. Travel could be in the picture before the end of the year too, since adventurous Jupiter will make a pitstop in Pisces and your global ninth house from October 28 to December 20.
But you’ll have to manage your energy carefully once action planet Mars turns retrograde on October 30, slogging in reverse through your sleepy twelfth house of healing and closure until January 12. This could be an introspective time for relationship repair or healing from heartache—all the emo stuff Cancers do best.
But first: Halloween! The Aquarius moon in your sexy eighth house paired with three Scorpio planets in your head-turning fifth call for a costume that’s more “vamp” than “vampire.” Feel free to skew sexy on the night when you’ve got permission to let any one of your alter egos out to play.
