Growth is said to be the theme for October as a few planets will end their retrograde cycles and give many the chance to start anew, while the lunations can push some to evolve. Mercury ends its retrograde journey on October 2 and Pluto turns direct on October 8 in Capricorn. A day later, the full moon in Aries begins just before Mercury re-enters Libra. With so much happening, Express.co.uk spoke to Inbaal Honigman, Celebrity Psychic and Astrologer who gave a reading for each star sign. 

Inbaal commented: “October this year encourages you to take some rest. It’s Libra season until October 22nd, which means the Sun is in Libra. As a society, this will affect us in creating an atmosphere of calm and quiet contemplation, as well as nesting ahead of winter, spending time at home with our loved ones.

“The Libra influence goes above and beyond just the Sun, however, both Mercury, planet of communication and Venus, planet of love go through Libra at some or another stage of the month, and so the urge to rest, relax and be beautiful touches our love lives and our online presence.

“The Mercury Retrograde ends on the 2nd, which means dating apps and legal contracts are back in style. 

“However, five other planets are Retrograde for nearly the whole month, so nothing is handed to you, everything takes an effort.” 

Aries 

“The full moon in Aries on October 9th is your chance to get things moving,” she said. “Specifically, impossible things. 

“You’re a sign of action, and the moon usually governs illusion and fantasy. If there’s something you’ve been wanting but you’ve felt it’s out of your reach, such as a job you’re not qualified for, or a date with someone exciting, this full moon is your chance to get things going for you.” 

Taurus

“This month is so rewarding, emotionally and also in terms of family, because your ruling planet Venus is pulling you along in the best possible way,” the astrologer revealed. “Venus is the planet of love and domestic affairs. 

“Until the 22nd, Venus is actually in the elegant sign of Libra – which is also ruled by Venus!

“To top it all off, the Sun is also in Libra on those dates, so with the Sun’s encouragement, and with Venus’s hand-holding, things are changing for you. Self-acceptance, self-esteem, self-reliance, and also romance are all going your way.” 

Gemini 

“Red planet Mars, planet of action and passion, is in your sign all month long,” Inbaal added. “And what’s even more exciting, Mars is going direct for nearly the entire month, only turning retrograde for the final day or two. 

“This means that you are set to achieve goals that require a lot of energy. Fitness goals or competitions at work will be slanted in your favour. 

“Except for those final day or two, when you’ll find contests impossible to win.”

Cancer

“No one feels the full moon quite like you, and October’s full moon on the 9th of October, happens to be in Aries,” she said. “You are ruled by the moon, and are therefore peaceful and dreamy. 

“Aries is neither peaceful nor dreamy, and you’ll feel like your full moon has been hijacked by hippies. 

“I feel that your distaste for shouting will be tested, as you will witness many arguments and disagreements within the family.”

Leo 

“Even though you have a reputation for being proud, based mostly on truths, you also have a very selfless side to your personality,” Inbaal explained. “This month, it’s your charitable nature that gets to shine. 

“With your ruler, the Sun in peace-loving Libra until the 22nd, you’ll be feeling calm and happy to rest. 

“Then, the Sun moves to quiet Scorpio, and you find yourself just as powerful as always, but not letting anyone hear too much about it.”

Virgo

“Happy as you were for Virgo season last month, you’re also happy it is over,” the expert continued. “You enjoy all the festivities, but really, a month is long enough for you and you’re happy to pass the crown to someone else. 

“For the first 10 days of the month, your ruling planet, Mercury is in your sign, which means that things are going your way, and people are seeing your side of the story. 

“Only the 1st of the month is a little off, as Mercury is still in retrograde, so haters make themselves known, too.”

Libra

“Happy Libra season!” Inbaal remarked. “Your selfless nature means you would love to share your season with everyone, but this one is just for you – the Sun is in your sign until the 22nd, dowsing you with luck and glitter. 

“Your job applications miraculously appear at the top of the pile, your profile swipes right only, and your hair wakes up all ready for the day. 

“Romantic planet Venus is in your sign for the same weeks, blessing you with love and positive attention.”

Scorpio 

“The New Moon in your sign on October 25th gives you a much-needed boost,” she said. “As you’ve been struggling to make decisions for a few months, and find it hard to stay consistent, you could use a bit of wind in your sails. 

“On the 25th, both the Sun and the Moon are in Scorpio, and you feel aligned with those around you. People are listening, and you can tell that they care. 

“This is your opportunity to ask for work changes, allowing you to combine your personal life with your career seamlessly.”

Sagittarius

“At long last, after a long period of retrograde, your ruling planet, generous Jupiter is going direct once more,” the astrologer revealed. “This planet is involved with your wealth, career progress and even social mobility. 

“Those were suffering since July, with the planet going ‘backwards’, but it is now repaired. 

“You’ll find that a lot of positive actions, which you have taken before but to no avail, suddenly now receive recognition. You’ll be praised for the hard work you’ve already done.”

Capricorn 

“Everybody’s shaking their tail feather this month! You have an interesting link to two planets which have been going retrograde for a long while, and both retrogrades finish within this October,” she added. 

“First, your ruling planet, steady and stable Saturn, has been on a retrograde trajectory since June, and will go direct from the 23rd. And also Pluto, planet of power struggles, goes direct from the 9th, after a five-month long retrograde. 

“The resulting boost of excitement and success is enough to knock your socks off.”

Aquarius 

“The long and challenging course of the planet Saturn as it was going Retrograde, is finally letting up,” Inbaal noted. “Saturn is the planet of Karma and big changes, and it also happens to be your ruling sign, which means the Retrograde has felt kind of personal, with karmic lessons popping up all over the shop. 

“After a four month wait, Saturn is going Direct again from the 23rd, so luck will start returning to your side again.”

Pisces

“Your financial state is exactly as it was for the first two weeks in May,” she explained. “The reason is Jupiter, planet of wealth and growth. Jupiter has had a rough time of late, going retrograde since July. 

“For this whole time, it’s been in Aries, stunting its growth and interfering with its potential. And now, it’s come for you. 

“As Jupiter is your traditional ruling sign, you should get through it quite nimbly. Just don’t lend anybody any money.”
