October is a 1 month. (1+0= 1) In numerology 1 is all about new beginnings. The energy of September was heavy as it is a 9 month which is all about endings. I know many of you myself included were experiencing this heavy energy. However, October brings about a new lighter energy but to get there, we may have to set some hard boundaries and perhaps even push past some fears, but we have some strong support to get there.
September bought two Eclipses, the most potent being the Pisces Blood Moon Eclipse, which rattled many of our lives and perhaps even instigated some deep, transformative journeys. While we are moving away from this Eclipse energy in October, we also get some relief with Pluto, the planet of transformation, stationing direct. Pluto has been in retrograde since May, and now that its energy is moving forward again, we will find it easier to make progress and let the old things go. Mars, the planet of action and energy, will also align with Mercury this month, fueling more ambition and motivation. We may feel more drive to get things done and to cross things off our to-do list.
The spiritual energy of October 2025 is characterized by a focus on clarity, balance, and transformative growth, influenced by major planetary shifts like Jupiter’s transit into Cancer and a Full Moon in Aries which bring opportunities for healing and taking courageous action. This month encourages clarifying intentions, setting boundaries, and embracing opportunities for personal and emotional breakthroughs amidst the backdrop of sacred festivals and heightened intuition.
October 7: Super Full Moon in Aries
The Super Full Moon in Aries has some heat around it, and we may feel tensions rising. This Full Moon will be supporting us to take a leap of faith and push past any boundaries or restrictions that have kept us feeling stuck or playing small. If there is something we need to get done, or some extra stamina required to move ahead, this Full Moon will deliver it! With all this fiery and intense energy, we may also be feeling a little more emotionally sensitive than usual. We may find ourselves feeling short-tempered or struggling to control our emotions. Address any anger or irritability that may arise, but try to do so with kindness and compassion. Whatever intentions we set at this time may come to fruition.
October 21: New Moon in Libra
This New Moon in Libra has a sensitive soul, and will soften any harshness the Eclipses brought our way. It will support us to slow down, take a deep breath, and focus on returning to balance. Libra energy guides us to bring a sense of calmness and peace into our lives. We don’t have to strive, we don’t have to keep reaching; instead, we can just give ourselves permission to be where we are. Eris, is once again active at this New Moon, which is perhaps a sign from our Universe that even though we should focus on peace, we may have to be a little rebellious to get there. Maybe we do need to say no, set our boundaries, and disappoint a few people. Or, maybe we can finally let go of dogma or thought patterns that have kept us in a limited space. Eris is a force, and she will be showing us what is needed to return to balance.

Overall, October will feel much more relaxed than September, but it does seem that we will be dealing with the aftermath of whatever the Eclipses brought our way. For some of us, we will be forging new paths, feeling a boost of energy, and inspired to create new beginnings. For others, we may be cleaning up from any storms we have weathered and will need more time to recover. Either way, we can return to the idea of peace, for that is what October truly offers us.
