Monthly Horoscope October 2022: Through the Golden Autumn with Assertion and Diplomacy

Basically, autumn brings with it a certain melancholy with its darkness. And then the many retrograde planets and astrological constellations in October also tear at our nerves and test our limits. In the first two weeks of the month we will have to continue to assert ourselves, especially against our own blockages that hinder our inner and outer growth.

We have arrived in the golden autumn. Our quality of time is actually characterized by harmony and beauty, namely by the Sun and Venus, which is in the relationship sign Libra until 10/22. Therefore, the area of relationship and love is probably one of the main themes of the month of October. The zodiac sign Libra is the sign of relationships and mediation, beaurocracy, aesthetics and diplomacy. Libra-born people are mentally occupied a lot with interpersonal relationships.

We may even have to make important decisions. Fortunately, from an astrological point of view, the last two weeks of October will be more relaxed and for those who have done their inner homework, very good opportunities may open up.

Love and the life of others since September 23 Sun in Libra

People with the zodiac sign Libra just usually try to do justice to the other people around them and diplomatically mediate, they are especially suitable for counseling, pastoral and psychological tasks.

Libra are able to speak truths skillfully and empathetically without hurting. Sometimes, however, the content of a statement is sacrificed to a too nice form, i.e. one packages something too nicely, because one sacrifices oneself and one's own opinion to the love of diplomacy). The difficulty that a Libra often experiences in its life is to take a clear stance and make clear decisions, to distinguish itself from others, because the Libra perceives itself through the relationship to the "you".

You can't develop a really strong "I" if you constantly avoid conflicts and tend to be too conformist. A Libra loves balanced thinking and is usually therefore very friendly, charming and popular. Libra, like its astrological symbol, is known to strive for balance, harmony and possesses an extremely fine sense of aesthetics as demonstrated by Libra designers: Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan or Sergio Rossi.

It is important for Libra-born people to pay attention to their own needs as well, to look at them and lovingly accept them as part of their ego! The core theme of Libra and just our of the quality of time we experience with the Sun in Libra is: love and relationship. Which is certainly good for the private life, after we were in the Virgo time in September but mostly very focused on work and everyday life.

But there is also more relief in sight. Not only by Mercury going direct from October 2, but also by Pluto, planet of transformation from October 8, and Saturn, planet of austerity, going direct again from October 23. So hopefully by the end of the month one blockage after another that seemed insurmountable can finally be resolved.

Breathe easy at last: on October 18 Mercury Retrograde will be over!

Right at the beginning of the month on October 2, Mercury in Virgo goes direct again and for sure we will experience relief and blockage solutions in the areas that were illuminated during this retrograde period. But we also can't ignore too much the insights we've gained about the way we communicate and patterns that were shown to us during the retrograde.

And now that the momentum and drive for negotiation, cooperation, travel, and everything ruled by the communication planet Mercury is picking up again, we should and may successfully implement all the projects and ideas we have worked out during this period. But note the full moon on October 9 and wait a few more days.

But this harmony especially concerning the communication between the you and I was not only put to the test in September because of Mercury retrograde. Then from October 11 to 29 Mercury in Libra improves communication, relationships and commerce even extra on top. In October we may and must always remember the fine diplomacy, the Libra energy through the quality in the Sun, when things seem to get a bit dicey and conflictual.

On October 9, we can expect an astrological volcanic rite: an intense Full Moon in the fiery sign of Aries.

The Aries Full Moon fuels the inner fire of passion for love, success and career. But not only this the building explosive Full Moon energy in Aries can equally cause some conflicts and heated discussions. After all, the (war) planet Mars is the ruler of the sign Aries. Therefore, about 3 days before and 3 days after this Full Moon is not a particularly good time to break new ground. Because before we headless want to start again after the Mercury Retrograde, we may reconsider our behavior, especially if old volcanoes may still smoke at various construction sites of our own life.

But as also a profound new moon in Scorpio on October 25, which favors a karmic new beginning, however, only if, when we become aware of our shadows, even more triggered by a partial solar eclipse.

Get to the root of problems: Pluto in Capricorn goes direct on October 8.

Transformation planet Pluto and ruler of the zodiac sign Scorpio is retrograde in Capricorn from April 29 to October 8. This change in energy can cause upheaval and a change or two in our world. We will be forced to look at the roots of our problems, question them, and change accordingly! Pluto, the planet of the underworld, loves to show us our own shadow issues and if we face them courageously, we can transform them. A good recommendation is to pay more attention to your own recurring patterns or situations from now on. All the changes we have been working towards in the last few months will gain strength. In addition, now can also be a good time to take a breath and take stock of all the changes in recent months.

The Sun enters the mysterious zodiac sign of Scorpio on October 23. A time that can make visible the mysterious, magical and invisible in our lives. This can equally mean that from now on what was hidden or in the dark can come to light. Because it is also a characteristic of Scorpio to deal with human depth and the abysses, many people have a shyness towards these mysterious zodiac signs. But I would like to promote here more understanding for these fascinating people, Scorpio fashion designers include Matthew Williamson, Zac Posen, Roberto Cavalli or Calvin Klein. For it is not easy to immediately see through the darkest depths of life, the universe and so much.

In October, especially the air and fire signs continue to be supported and motivated by Jupiter in Aries (still until 10/28/22), which is still favorably conjunct Mars in Gemini.
Due to its retrograde, Jupiter returns for a brief stay in Pisces beginning Oct. 29.

For the water and earth signs, it probably doesn't feel easier until the end of October, partly because of year ruler Jupiter. Also since then Venus and the Sun change to Scorpio on October 23. To bridge the time until then, you may be inspired and motivated, perhaps by a Libra, an Aries or a Gemini in your life?!
