Hello, Aries babe! You love to move fast, which is good news, because October wastes no time bringing the heat. This year’s only Full Moon in your own sign electrifies the sky on October 1, which means that the Sun (symbolizing your external expression) and the Moon (representing your emotional inner world) are in conflict. Under this sky, you may feel like everything you do or say is turning into a fight—conflict is part of life, but try not to take it too far. You’re known for making quick decisions, but this sky isn’t about impulsivity: It’s about exposure. With the vivid Moon lighting your way, carve out time to make sure you’re seeing everything clearly.
Halloween season hits differently in 2020 (but, let’s be honest, what doesn’t?). Even though you may not be going door-to-door collecting candy, the cosmos are definitely screaming “trick or treat” on October 13, when Mercury—the planet of communication—starts barreling backwards. Yes, Aries, Mercury Retrograde is back, so get ready for miscommunications, meltdowns, and lots of mixed messages. For the next few weeks, you may start finding things extra confusing. But don’t forget, Mercury’s backwards motion is only an optical illusion—it’s just a scary costume! Mercury Retrograde may be annoying, but by early November, you’ll realize that even the most haunting cosmic reversal can be reduced to smoke and mirrors.
Just a few days later, on October 16, the Sun and Moon will join forces, forming a dark and velvety New Moon in Libra—your opposite sign. I know you love your independence, but under this lunation, you’ll be eager to couple up. This is an excellent opportunity to ensure that your relationships (not just the romantic ones!) are functioning at their fullest potential. Do you feel like your bonds are equal—in other words, are you giving and receiving? This is an excellent time to put energy into your partnerships, so don’t be afraid to go the extra mile to show just how much you care!
Scorpio season (or, as I like to call it “spooky season”) officially begins on October 22. While everyone else is decorating their homes with synthetic spiderwebs, the eerie energy may be a bit more literal for you. Scorpio activates the area of your chart associated with secrets, intimacy, and hidden things. Simply put, it’s time to yank those skeletons out of your closet—yes, it’s Halloween decor, but it’s also your truth. The next few weeks are an excellent time for "shadow work" (aka exploring your dark/hidden feels), so don’t be afraid to look under the hood!
And, as if October wasn’t chilling enough, a second Full Moon—known as a Blue Moon—will occur on (you guessed it) Halloween. Go ahead and howl, Aries! For you, this Full Moon in Taurus shines a light in the area of your chart associated with personal finance, so by the end of the month, you’ll be thinking all about worth. Full Moons correspond with endings, so if you feel like you want to bring in more, don’t be afraid to let something go. I know it may seem counterproductive, but the truth is that until you rearrange your psyche, you may not have the room to generate more abundance (read: cash). After all, the only thing scarier than a horror movie marathon is accidentally limiting your own success—yikes!
