Your Weekly Horoscope Says October Is Off to a Stressful & Spooky Start

Your horoscope for the week of October 1 to 7 if full of confusion, enchantment, and awkwardness. Luckily, the first week of the spookiest month of the year is also a breeding ground for inspiration.

As the week begins with energetic Mars forming a quincunx with erratic Uranus, you may feel restless and possibly even stagnant. In astrology, a quincunx indicates that two planets have absolutely nothing in common with each other at the moment, creating an uncomfortable mix. And as logical Mercury opposes disorienting Neptune by October 2, communication may come with malfunctions. Luckily, this transit could also lead to unexpected visions, intuitive downloads, and spiritual connections that last, especially as Mercury forms a trine with eye-opening and transformative Pluto on October 3. This energy will show you deeper truths, but give you the ambition to make the impossible possible. However, keep in mind that flirtatious Venus will also quincunx dreamy Neptune, keeping the romantic sparks to a minimum.

As Mercury enters clever and coquettish Libra on October 2, it will bring a more relationship-oriented vibe to your methods of planning and executing. However, let’s not forget the South Node of Karma is also moving through Libra, which means that conversations related to the past are soon to unfold. Be prepared to eventually say what needs to be said. However, awkwardness ensues as Mercury immediately forms a quincunx with inhibiting Saturn, which may encouraging you to stay tight-lipped due to fear of saying the wrong thing. Keep in mind that not responding can create even more problems and a simple “I don’t know right now,” can be better than no answer at all.
