In Between Days: October 2024 Astrology Forecast

Mystical Messages podcast host and veteran astrologer Hilary Harley breaks down the cosmic energies for October 2024.  A New Moon solar eclipse occurs on Wednesday, October 2^nd, just as we enter the month.  In Libra, this eclipse has us focusing on balance, beauty and relationships.  Make sure to factor yourself into every decision you make.  Otherwise, you may find that you get so caught up in other people’s needs and agendas that your own desires are left behind.  Avoid this! 

Generous Jupiter comes to a standstill and turns retrograde on Tuesday, October 8^th.  We do not feel the forward and reverse motions of the outer planets as we do the interior planets Mercury, Venus and Mars that are closer to the Earth.  Nonetheless, if you have important affairs to launch or get a move on, the energy may feel sluggish from October 7-9.  In communicative Gemini, Jupiter sends a message now:  are we listening as much as we are talking?  Are you allowing quiet, down time (again with the down time!) to gather information and integrate all data points?  This reminder is the gift of Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, to pay attention, to hear, in equal measure to sharing and talking.

On Thursday, October 10^th, Powerful Pluto turns direct motion in Capricorn.  Tied to the moon, Pluto says clearly:  get down to business.  Say what you mean and mean what you say. Actions speak a whole lot louder than words now. Opposite Motivating Mars in Cancer, the Pluto-Moon duo in Capricorn emphasize the gravity of the current moment, especially as pertains to our family, home, diet or food, country/nation and ancestral heritage.

Messenger Mercury turns into transformational Scorpio on Sunday, October 13^th.  With its X ray vision and unparalleled bull shit detector, Scorpio Mercury roots out any dirt swept under the proverbial rug.  What it uncovers, it readily reveals.  Feel the burn. Anyone trying to pull a fast one or pull the wool over another’s eyes, will feel the burn, the infamous Scorpio sting.  Simply:  they won’t get away with anything.  Talk about power moves.  Now is the time to let your power swing.

Helping us put our explorer hat on, Valuable Venus turns into Sagittarius the very next day, Friday, October 18^th.  Here, Venus is up for anything, game to try what she hasn’t done before. Unabashed and definitely unafraid, Sagittarius Venus cannot wait to hit the trail and see where adventure takes her. Messenger Mercury in Scorpio and Venus in Sagittarius create one powerful planetary combination.  Together we see everything and everyone clearly, speak our minds regardless of who might be offended, telling ribald truths, and peeling away antiquated distortions and expectations of how life is supposed to be.

A question for anyone still thinking along these lines:  how IS life actually supposed to be? And according to whom?  Chances are, the answers will not hold water. Truth telling is not for the faint of heart.  So do not expect to win popularity contests or curry favor for speaking your truth.

On Tuesday, October 22^nd the Sun turns into Scorpio. Joining Mercury, the Sun lays bare any attempts to shade the truth.  We intuitively see, feel, andknow with uncanny accuracy the essence of our personal and work lives.  Heavy lifting now follows.  What once is seen cannot be unseen.  You ARE up for the task ahead.  You’ve uncovered the dirt hidden by that old rug.  Just look there in the pile underneath:  a treasure awaits, to bring out of the shadows and into the light. What will you do with your treasure?
