October 2019 Weekly Astro Forecasts

October 7 – 13

We’ll be in the shadows of a waxing Full Moon this week, so be on the alert for minor accidents, computer glitches and surprising messages from people in your past.

We’ll be under the influence of an Aquarius Moon on Monday and Tuesday, which means there’s a chance we’ll be changing direction at a moment’s notice.

New ideas flow in, but we’ll have to take care not to blurt out everything we know or think now. Better to keep things to ourselves for another week or so.

Venus will move into Scorpio on Tuesday, kicking off a month-long passion for the supernatural, the mystical and the unexplained. It will also turn our thoughts to our shadow sides or deeper selves, unearthing memories or experiences that it’s time to look at and clear out, as the transformational energy of Scorpio is so famous for.

The rest of the week takes a softer tone as the Moon glides through Pisces, gearing us toward our spiritual sides and helping us look at the bigger picture of life. The weekend is ruled by an assertive and active Aries Moon, so this is a great time to get things done!

Sunday’s Aries Full Moon will inspire us to purge, and its motto is ‘out with the old and in with the new.’ So, if you’ve got clutter around your house you’ve been meaning to bag up and donate, now’s the time!

October 14 – 20

All is quiet on the astrological front this week, and we can get down to our regularly scheduled duties.

The Moon cruises through Taurus Monday through Wednesday, making this the ideal time to get grounded and productive. Don’t put things off, as once we hit Thursday, it’s a grab bag as far as getting things done!

Thursday’s Gemini Moon will put us in the mood to chat, as it’s social power heats up through the rest of the week. Update your computer, social media, make those phone calls you’ve been putting off or start writing down your plan for the future, all great activities under this Moon.

The weekend was made for hanging out and not doing much of anything, thanks to the Cancer Moon. So, grab a bowl of popcorn, fire up the TV or tablet, and get ready to binge watch your favorite shows! Or, if that doesn’t appeal, find another easy and creative pastime to fill your hours.

October 21 – 27

The Sun will exit Libra and move into soulful Scorpio on Wednesday, shifting our hearts and minds to the spiritual and more depth-filled aspects of life.

As we move through the next four weeks with a more open mind, it’s a good time to remember that this is the time of year when the veil between the physical and spiritual world is the thinnest. This makes it a great time to connect with our loved ones on the other side, investigate how we express out to the world and (not just at Halloween) examine the many masks we wear and the reasons behind them.

Monday and Tuesday’s Leo Moon will remind us to take care of ourselves first, before we attend the needs of others, for it is only in that way we can be of the best help and service to ourselves, and those around us.

The Virgo Moon on Wednesday through Friday will keep us grounded and stable, as the Sun moves into ethereal Scorpio, making for a balanced transition the second part of the week. This weekend’s Libra Moon will add a fun and calming tone to our movements, culminating with a Scorpio new Moon on Sunday, which will herald a two-week cycle of growth, both internal and external.

October 28 – November 3

Mercury is turning retrograde for the last time this year, shifting direction in the sign of Scorpio on Thursday. Before it does, be sure to backup your computers, cellphones and any electronics with important and personal information on them. Also, it’s a good time to update and change passwords, and clear out any texts, data and emails that are cluttering memory and slowing things down.

Monday and Tuesday will prove our most productive days of the week, as the Moon travels through focused Scorpio. So, get heavy duty work out of the way first thing!

Things will lighten up on Wednesday as the Moon moves into Sagittarius, and on Thursday, Mercury will officially turn retrograde.

On Friday Venus will move into Sagittarius, adding a lighter and more fun-filled aura around us for the next few weeks.

The weekend Capricorn Moon will give us the inspiration to deal with our physical worlds, finances, and personal health matters, simply by changing our focus and actions to create the balance we’re seeking.

An Aquarius Moon hovers overhead on Sunday, so make your plans in pencil, expect the unexpected, and go with the flows of the Universe.
