October transits

October transits shift us towards action

Happy Fall season to all! October’s astrological transits bring a noticeably different energy compared to September. While September was more about introspection, retrogrades, and wrapping things up, October transits shift us towards action, growth, and some necessary reality checks.

Mars Trine Saturn

We will slip into the new month with the ongoing Mars Trine Saturn aspect. Mars trine Saturn is one of those aspects that perfectly blends the energies of drive and discipline. Mars, the planet of action, motivation, and assertiveness, forms a harmonious trine with Saturn, the planet of structure, responsibility, and long-term goals. This aspect is like having the green light to make serious progress on your goals with a steady, determined pace.

• This aspect is all about combining strategy with action. Make a plan, set your goals, and then take consistent steps to achieve them!
• While Mars gives you the drive, Saturn ensures you don’t burn out. Pace yourself and focus on quality over quantity!
• Saturn rewards maturity and responsibility. Take ownership of your actions, and don’t shy away from hard work—it will pay off in the long run!

Saturn is all about the long game, and when it teams up with Mars, it’s a reminder that success is built one step at a time. This aspect favors strategic planning and disciplined action, making it ideal for laying down the foundation for future achievements. Think about your long-term goals and start taking practical steps toward them. This aspect is perfect for overcoming difficulties. If there’s something you’ve been struggling with, now’s the time to approach it with renewed focus and a practical plan. Saturn’s influence will help you stay the course and see it through to the end.

Mercury Trine Jupiter

October 7th–8th
Although this is a short-term aspect, it’s still worthy of our attention. This is a transit that boosts our minds, lifts our spirits, and opens the door to opportunities. Mercury trine Jupiter brings a surge of optimism and expansive thinking. Your mind is more open to new ideas, and you’re likely to see the bigger picture more clearly. This is a time when you might feel particularly inspired or eager to learn something new. It’s an excellent moment for brainstorming, planning future endeavors, or simply indulging in some positive thinking. Use this energy to explore new perspectives, set big goals, or dive into studies that broaden your understanding of the world. Whether it’s through travel, education, or simply engaging in meaningful conversations, this is a time to expand your horizons.

• Engage in activities that broaden your knowledge or perspective. Read, take a course, or explore new cultures and philosophies.
• This is a great time for negotiations, important conversations, or sharing your ideas with others.
• The energy of Mercury trine Jupiter supports intellectual expansion and the successful communication of your ideas. Whether it’s in writing or speaking, this is a great time to share your ideas.
• Set ambitious but realistic goals for your future. Plan for long-term success with optimism!

It’s a time to think big, speak your truth, and embrace the opportunities that come your way!

Sun Trine Jupiter & Sun Square Mars

This mid-October period brings a mix of expansive opportunities and fiery challenges, thanks to the dual influences of the Sun trine Jupiter and the Sun square Mars. These October transits create a dynamic blend of energy, where you’ll feel optimistic and driven, but also might face some friction. Let’s break down what to expect.

• Stay Grounded: While you’re riding high on Jupiter’s positivity, don’t let Mars’ influence push you into rash decisions. Take time to think things through before acting.
• Focus on Constructive Action: Use Mars’ drive to fuel productive efforts, but avoid letting it turn into aggression or impatience. Channel your energy into projects or physical activities that require focus and determination.
• Embrace Opportunities with Confidence: Jupiter’s influence is supporting you, so trust in your abilities and take advantage of the opportunities that come your way—but keep Mars’ fiery energy in check.

Socially, this is a fantastic time for networking or simply enjoying time with friends and family. Your natural charisma is amplified, making you more attractive and persuasive.

You might feel more capable of achieving your goals, and you’ll likely encounter situations that open doors for personal or professional growth. Your confidence is high, and others will notice, making it a great time to step into the spotlight or take a leap of faith. You’ll likely feel a surge of energy and motivation, pushing you to take bold actions. However, this can also lead to impatience or frustration, especially if things don’t go as planned. Be mindful of becoming too pushy or getting into unnecessary
confrontations. The square aspect can create tension in relationships or situations where your will clashes with others. There’s a risk of power struggles or arguments, especially if you’re feeling particularly headstrong or competitive.

This period is a powerful reminder that growth and challenges often go hand in hand!

Mercury trines Saturn

Around October 21-23.

This transit brings a practical, grounded energy that helps us communicate clearly, make solid plans, and think things through with a level-headed approach—perfect for navigating the complexities of adulting.

How to Harness this Energy:

• Use this energy to review your goals and make a solid plan. Saturn loves structure, so break down your bigger goals into smaller, manageable steps.
• Whether it’s a career move, financial planning, or personal development, now’s the time to map out your path to success.
• If there’s a tough conversation you need to have or an important pitch to make this is your window. With Mercury’s clarity and Saturn’s authority, you’ll be able to articulate your thoughts clearly and effectively. Prepare in advance, stay calm, and speak with purpose.
• Got some tasks that have been hanging over your head? Now’s the time to finally knock them out. Saturn’s disciplined vibe makes it easier to handle the nitty-gritty details, so dive into that project!
• Saturn is all about wisdom and experience. Reach out to someone you respect for advice or guidance during this time!

Your affirmation for this period: “I take responsibility for my success and create a solid foundation for my future.”

Venus square Saturn

We will say goodbye to October with a Venus – Saturn square. This will bring a more serious and introspective energy to our relationships, finances, and self-worth. This transit can feel a bit challenging, but it’s also an opportunity for growth and reality checks!

• Face Relationship Issues Head-On: If you’re feeling tension in a relationship, don’t sweep it under the rug. Saturn demands that you deal with things seriously, so have those tough conversations. It might be uncomfortable, but it’s a chance to set boundaries, clarify expectations, and work through issues.
• Work on Self-Love and Acceptance: If you’re feeling down on yourself, try to remember that Saturn’s tough love is about growth. Use this time to practice self-compassion and remind yourself that your worth isn’t tied to external validation.
• Focus on building your self-esteem through small, positive actions.

If things aren’t going your way, or you’re feeling stuck, remind yourself that this too shall pass. Keep working towards your goals, even if progress feels slow!

Your affirmation for this period: “I am strong and resilient, capable of overcoming any challenge.”
