Astrology for October 6-12

The week begins with a punchy full moon.    The full moon is free from vexing and opportunistic aspects.    It just is a full moon that is elegant in letting the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries ponder the meaning and power of relating while deepening authenticity.    If there has been any ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ components to our way of relating and relationships well, this is the moon to freshen up our style or inform our partner(s) that it’s time for a new way to jam.   

 

While the full moon is busy ‘being’ the next day on the 7^th, Mercury in Scorpio gets into its first tussle with Pluto in Aquarius.   Hurricane force winds will blow through our conversations.   Sharp, tense and perhaps a wee bit emotional comments could be pronounced.   Snappy answers to every question could get tiring.  Globally there may be some incident of a power play that gets all of us talking. 

 

On the 8^th, nerves are calmed (a bit) by Venus and Jupiter and we seek practicality and nurturing.    On the 11^th we move into Disseminating Phase where a Taurus theme of grounding, moving slower and taking a beat as we share our knowledge or perhaps seek counsel.   Also on the 11^th, Venus and Saturn are in opposition and our love, our beauty our creativity could all feel ‘not enough’.  Sure.  Got it.   Figure out some stuff you can fix and whatever can’t just take that beat and maybe turn to spirit for a heavy assist.   Prayers may be helpful.

Planetary Notes:  

 

10/7: Mercury square Pluto (1 Aquarius 22) Intense thinking.  Penetrating insights that can be overwhelming.   No one is showing their hand.  Power is on everyone’s mind.  

10/8: Venus sextile Jupiter (23 Cancer 18).   Joy gets expanded.  Sweet and tender are valuable.   A quiet moment with the right person lifts the mood and the heart.

Disseminating: Reflect on what has transpired this lunar month.  What have you learned?   How can you share some of your knowledge?  What past experiences are you sharing?  Are you in the need to teach?  Or is it find a teacher?   Maybe we find a rabbi or a minister or therapist who gives us more insight.   

 

 

Focus on:   How are you sharing the power of sitting with something?   How are you sharing inner calm?   How are you sharing patience?   How are you sharing the power of practicality?  How are you sharing values?   

 

 

 

Planetary Notes:

 

10/11: Venus oppose Saturn (26 Pisces 59).   Values feel slapped around.  Love feels cold.  Money feels off.   No beauty can be found.   If you can hide in your house go for it.  If you can’t, try to not take anything personal and instead get lost in great music.  

 

 

 

Aries Full Moon - Harvest Moon - Supermoon - October 6, 2025

 

Full Moon

Harvest Moon

14 Aries 08

 

Let’s get technical.    This year the Aries Full Moon and Harvest moon is also the first of three supermoons.   A supermoon occurs when the orbit of the moon is closest to the Earth and it is a full moon.    On the 7th the moon will be closest to earth and it will look super large.  Get your camera ready for a cool shot because Aries full moon is getting our attention.     

 

There is a lot about this full moon that feels liberated from the Aries full moons over the last couple of years.  First, it is not an eclipse.  And to that I say, ‘hallelujah’.     Aries is free from the shadow.  Yay.  

 

Second the moon and the sun at the exact time of the new moon are not in any major aspects with any outer or inner planets.    This gives the full moon some juice to do what it is supposed to do.  The moon talks to the sun, and the sun talks to the moon.    The discussion is about relating.   The need for personal within relationship is pronounced.   “Hey, I need this.”   Or a conversation with someone, “When you do/say/act/respond to ____ it makes me react like _____”  Fill in the blanks.    And at the same time any partnership we are in could have that person saying the same thing back to us.   How we find independence and authenticity within relationships is the meta. 

 

Note—when I use the word partnership, yes, for sure that can be our significant other, but it is NOT limited to that person.  It is about the act of relationship-ing.   You are in relationship with a lot of people.   Maybe you are not married or have no significant other, but you work with someone, you volunteer with someone, you meet with others, and you have this moment in your life where you are relating.   That moment and those people and those interactions are like atoms bumping into each other.    We get something from that relating energy.  

 

At the Aries full moon we show up, and we act with authenticity, then others respond, and we are impacted and so on and so on.  Which then encourages new growth.  This is Aries.   Libra, the air sign, feeds Aries fire.   Fire cannot exist without air.    

 

This full moon should feel like a lot of air and movement and adjusting and relating.  There is a freshness.  In fact, if there was ever three days that feel like the renewal of spring while in the season of  fall, it would be this full moon.   For those people who live south of the equator this full moon will be double spring-ish for you.  

 

So, the full moon itself seems liberated.   However, there is a side piece of business that has the potential of being loud and that involves Mercury.   Earlier in the day of the 6^th, Mercury leaves Libra and enters Scorpio.    Thinking and communication intensifies when Mercury is in Scorpio.     Then on the 7^th early in the morning Mercury squares Pluto.   

 

As I mentioned in my Virgo New Moon Eclipse report because Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto are at early degrees of fresh signs (Zero to Two degrees) whenever the inner planets; Mercury, Venus and Mars make aspects with the outer planets they are activating a whole new energy.    For example, on September 22 Mars entered Scorpio and then on the 24^th it squared Pluto.   Based on the eclipse that was near this aspect I mentioned (and I am not the only astrologer to suggest it) that there was a possible tie back to the Hammas/Israel/Gaza conflict.   No surprise when on the 22^nd, France acknowledged the state of Palestine (along with other countries) at the time of Mars square Pluto.  The tie in was there.     

 

Now it is Mercury’s turn to make a move into Scorpio and then have a brand new, never experienced before (in modern era) Mercury Scorpio square with Pluto in Aquarius.   This is not necessarily about Gaza Israel, it will probably be some other newsmaker event.    

 

As we know, Mercury in Scorpio is focused on power.   It also knows where the weakest link is in any chain.   Pluto in Aquarius has its focus on the masses.   Pluto in Aquarius bristles at kings, queens and royalty in general.    No accident that the French Revolution took place during Pluto in Aquarius.   However, in the 21^st century the world looks different than the 18^th century.    More countries have democracies than are royalty ruled.   Instead, now titans of industry are our newer forms of royalty.   Will they be in the mix?   Mercury in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius especially juiced up by the full moon in Aries which at the time of this aspect will be in square to Jupiter bringing additional gravity.   If we find ourselves having a hard time feeling grounded look no further than this astro landscape.   Also, a note to those titans in industry: Jupiter in Cancer is looking at our homes, and we are a bit extra thin skinned if anyone is messing with our family.    If any information is uncovered that speaks to crime, sex, corruption, co-mingled funds, taxes, adultery (Scorpio) it could undermine a trust for a whole lot of people (Aquarius) and the response may be anger (Aries).   

 

If there are any bruises by Mercury Pluto on the 7^th, we will welcome the Venus sextile Jupiter on the 8^th that reminds us to find our cozy corner and people and help soothe our psyches and moods.     By the time we get to Disseminating phase on October 10^th we will be ready to share some of our experiences with others.   

 

Breathe.  Be authentic.  Be.   

Chris Brennan's Auspicious Day --- October 4, 5pm

Screen grab of Chris Brennan's Auspicious Date 

I enjoy Chris Brennan's Astrology Podcast.   Always great guests and in depth analysis of the astrology that they present.    I try to watch their monthly reports every month.    Chris offers an auspcious date ever month.  These dates are also called electional dates.   They have nothing to do with polictics.  The use of the word 'electional' means as in electing to do something.    The astrology on the date that Chris highlights also includes a time.    This is the optimal date to activate or support the astrology of the chart.   

In the month of October we will have a tense, mouthy period due to Mercury and Pluto getting into and it goes longer than normal because Mercury will retrograde in November and return back to Scorpio.    There are some other aspects that we have already discussed in my report  which also limit some of our good days.   Having said that, Chris found a good date.  

October 4, 2025 @ 5pm your local time.    You can watch Chris' interpration about that date at that time and how it will be beneficial.  

The chart for that date supports, children, creative, play, having fun, finding joy, starting something that is long, long on creativity.    Maybe make a plan to bring more joy in your life and you ask your most fun friend and say, "Hey can we have coffee?  Or a drink?"  Or you and your beloved go on some kind of adventure.  Is it a fun movie?  Is it a tour of museum you always wanted to visit?  How about a cool art exhibit?  Or do you have a project you are working on, how about doing something that supports your project at that time.   

Anyway, go listen to Chris and see how you can make the most of it.
