You all know that I love everything spooky, so nothing delights me more than exploring October’s horoscope. Before we get into what each individual sign's predictions entail in this delightfully mysterious month, let's first talk about what the stars indicate across the board for October. And good luck out there, darlings — don’t be afraid to embrace the strange and unusual, especially when it comes to costumes this Halloween.

October Overall

This month is all about the macabre, so don’t be surprised if ghosts start making contact on Friday, October 5 when Venus, the planet of love and beauty, goes retrograde.

Our romantic perspective may be warped by way of Venus’s backward spin, so past lovers will be resurfacing, some with a vengeance. Remember, cosmic warriors, not all reboots are worth watching. Sometimes, the past should simply stay historical. Needless to say, relationships will be a central theme this month. A new moon in Libra on Monday, October 8 aligns the emotional moon with the vivacious sun, transforming our internal monologue into an external dialogue. Under this velvet sky, expect major revelations in all interpersonal dynamics. Any bonds that deteriorate will be quickly replaced with exciting, fresh energy, so don’t be afraid to let go. After all, not all partnerships are meant to last forever.

As we prepare for colder months ahead, consider what you need to release in order to regenerate.

Halloween season officially kicks off on Tuesday, October 23 when the radiant sun moves into elusive Scorpio. Scorpionic energy is associated with sex, death, and transformation, so expect radical growth during this time. In nature, there is no distinction between verdant sprouts and decaying leaves: The entire life cycle exists on one axis. Now, as we prepare for colder months ahead, consider what you need to release in order to regenerate.

This theme continues the following day, as a full moon in Taurus on Wednesday, October 24 electrifies the night sky. Full moons occur when the sun and moon are in direct opposition: This month, their celestial placements symbolize beginnings and endings. By the end of the month, you will see exactly what you need to release. There will be a spotlight illuminating the shadows — along with skeletons in the closet or anything swept under the rug. Don’t be afraid to deep dive into the nooks and crannies of your psyche: There are always more to discover when you look under the hood.
