WEEKLY ASTROLOGY FORECAST | OCTOBER 4 - A DOSE OF INTENSITY

Astrology Forecast for House of Intuition: October 4^th to October 10^th  

By Narayana Montúfar

Transforming Our Relationships: September closed with the opportunity to focus on our desire within relationships, and this theme spills into the first week of October. However, last week’s yin influence morphs into an active, yang energy.

This week, we welcome the New Moon in Libra, which happens on Wednesday, October 6^th at 4:05 a.m. Pacific Time. As the Sign of the Scales, Libra is a zodiac sign who focuses its energy on striving for balance within relationships. On this day, both luminaries will merge to turn our attention to the bonds that need recalibrating through a dose of harmony, fairness, and tact. Marking a new beginning, this New Moon represents a big reset in the ways we relate to one another, which is the prevailing theme of Libra season.

As both, the Sun and the Moon, merge in this harmony-seeking sign, we will all wonder if the give and take dance of compromise has been balanced within our most important relationships. So, during this lunation, expect your attention to be laser focused on this area of life. This New Moon is conjunct Mercury Retrograde as well as Mars, so don’t be surprised if past or repressed anger comes to the surface during this time. And this time, what’s most important is how you respond to it. If your nature is fiery, you might want to keep an eye on your tone and words. But if you feel the need to express (or even defend yourself), Mars is here to lend you the motivation for saying it exactly as it feels.

On the same day of this lunation, Pluto, the Planet of Transformation, will wake up after its five-month-long retrograde. Since late April, Pluto’s Retrograde has been slowly but surely digging into the hidden corners of our minds to explore subconscious material. As it turns direct exactly on this Libra New Moon, Pluto is set to expose the underlying relationship patterns and power dynamics that are past their due date.

If this lunation sounds intense to you—you’re spot-on! But as bad as confrontation can be, it does hold the promise of having some deep and necessary healing within our most important connections. Don’t hide from going deep and going there. Facing these issues head-on will not only help you move forward, it will transform pain and anger into raw power.
