Controlled Chaos 

October’s astrology asks us to “go with the flow,” redirecting energies of resistance to those of acceptance and cooperation. Pluto stations direct in earthy Capricorn on October 3, the same day that Mercury shifts into Scorpio, the sign of emotional depth. Mars enters fair and balanced Libra on October 4, and until mid-November, we’ll be challenged to keep the peace by rejecting unnecessary drama and employing diplomacy. Letting someone have their way — though childish — is the key to remaining in control this month. 

Venus moves into sexy Scorpio on October 8, igniting flames of passion and intimacy in love. Secrets could float to the surface of reality on October 12 when Venus draws a sharp opposition to unpredictable Uranus. A full moon in Aries on October 13 is charged with immense manifestation power, but not without a hefty emotional price. Is what you want really worth it? Only you can decide. 

Money and sex sustain sudden changes during a transformative new moon in intense Scorpio on October 27. Though these new developments will be self-initiated, they’ll likely need several rounds of revisions before you can enjoy the fruits of your labor. Mercury begins its three-week retrograde phase on October 31, lending you plenty of time to work out crucial details.
