You’re a straight shooter, Capricorn, so let me be perfectly frank: October is going to be a hell of month. On October 1, the Sun and Moon meet in direct opposition, forming a powerful Full Moon in Aries. This lunation will activate the area of your chart associated with family, foundation, and roots, inspiring you to reflect on some important childhood memories. As much as you may want to romanticize your youth, the truth is that there were some tough experiences that shaped your personality. Under this sky, remember that your goals and aspirations didn’t materialize from thin air—they’re a direct response to your past. So, in order to truly achieve success, it’s essential that you remember why you’re hustling so hard. Is that a…tear? Yes, you may get emotional, but it’s okay to cry. These sensitives are therapeutic!
Uh oh! Who’s that pesky planet waiting in the wings? It’s Mercury and, on October 13, this celestial prankster begins its infamous retrograde cycle. Say “hello” to three weeks of miscommunications, meltdowns, and super frustrating mishaps. There’s no denying that Mercury Retrograde is super irritating, but at the end of the day, try to keep things in perspective. Yes, stubbing your toe, bickering with your bestie, or losing your WiFi signal sucks… but they’re not going to ruin your life! Everything—including Mercury Retrograde—is cyclical, so remember to go with the flow. In fact, Mercury Retrograde is an excellent time to practice the fine art of patience. I know it doesn’t come naturally, Capricorn, but that’s why practice is important!
And, now, some good news: On October 16, the Sun and Moon align in Libra, forming a New Moon that activates your career zone, which mean that success is written in the stars! Under this sky, don’t be afraid to make bold choices that have the ability to impact your future. I know you’re already burning the midnight oil, but what would happen if you turned up the heat just a bit more, enabling yourself to hustle at your maximum capacity? You may want to start getting your acceptance speech ready—by mid-month, you’ll be receiving so many awards and nominations, it will be hard to keep track of all your accolades!
The Sun drifts into Scorpio on October 22, and for you, this astrological shift will inspire you to think in even broader strokes. After enjoying some well-deserved praise, you now have the opportunity to help others climb the mountain, too. This is a great time to expand your leadership skills by becoming a mentor. Of course, this is strategic too. When you help others through kindness, you send a powerful message to the universe indicating that you deserve to be successful—you want to make the world a better place! And, at the end of the day, the cosmos will always reward reciprocity, so don’t be afraid to double-down on your humanitarian spirit.
And, finally, on October 31—yes, literally Halloween—the second Full Moon of the month will illuminate the night sky. While this might sound extra spooky, it’s actually a wonderful time for you, Capricorn. This lunation occurs in Taurus’ domain, which electrifies the area of your chart associated with passion, creativity, and love. Who knew this haunted holiday could be so romantic? Will you surprise yourself by developing strong feelings for someone you previously overlooked? It’s possible, Capricorn, but make sure you’re smitten by the person and not just the disguise. After all, Halloween moonlight can be a bit disorienting—it’s okay to go slow!
