October 13 - 21 Astrology Landscape

 

We’re in the last week of the second Virgo lunar month.   When this week ends and we move into Libra new moon we’ll have completed eight weeks of working on details.  Virgo knows that nothing can happen if we don’t focus on it.   No doubt details found us during the last two months.   Now we are in the final seven days of the Virgo cycle.   

 

Your To-Do list is still vital during the last quarter phase.   Then when we hit Balsamic on the 17^th, release the list.   We also release our need to be critical.    When we let go, we are preparing the soil for the new which rolls in October 21 on the Libra new moon.   

 

Last Quarter Moon Phase

October 13, 2025

11:12 am PDT  

   

 

Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living “The serenity prayer” 

 

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

 

 

 

Focus on:

What final actions can you take based on the seeds that you planted on New Moon.   How do you need to adapt those plans?   How do those goals and plans impact your family?   What actions need to be taken on behalf of your emotions?   What are your feelings telling you?  

 

Planetary Notes: 

 

10/13: Venus enters Libra.   Five weeks of trying to find nice.  

10/13: Venus oppose Neptune (00 Aries 12) Love feels weird and disconnected from reality.  Money is wonky.  Values can’t find gravity.  

10/13:  Pluto station Direct (1 Aquarius 22)  (See separate)

10/14: Venus trine Uranus 00 Aries 52.  Joy and values get out of the blue jolt of creative opportunity.   Celebrate the weird and open the creativity.  

10/14: Venus Trine Pluto (1 Aquarius 22) Transformation in relationships.  Where there was stuck, now there is flow.   Art and creativity flourish and bring renewal. 

10/16: Sun square Jupiter (24 Cancer 06).  Social obligations feel in conflict with family.   Creature comforts must be put aside to deal with matters of society.    Put on your bra and show up.  

10/17: Sun oppose Chiron (24Aries 51).   How can you tap your authentic self and still be in relationship with _____ ?  (Fill in the blank)

Balsamic Moon Phase

 

October 17, 2025 

4:55 am PDT

 

Balsamic:   We let go.  By releasing we can prepare for the new.  

 

 

Focus on:  How are you releasing your anxiety?  How are you releasing any weird energy around your calendar?   How are you releasing your ‘to-do’ list?   

 

Planetary Notes:

 

10/18: Mars trine North Node.  Actions that stoke humanitarianism.  Actions and intuition are in synch even if they seem unworldly.      

10/19: Mercury trine North Node (17 Pisces 58) Deep and penetrating thoughts that seem channeled from an outside source permeate the day.  

10/19: Mercury conjunct Mars (19 Scorpio).  Thinking and actions are in synch.   How does it feel to walk your talk? 

10/21: Mercury enters shadow (20 Scorpio 42) –note this date.  In a few weeks Mercury will retrograde and go all the way back to where it is today on October 21.
