The most relevant astrological fact of the month of October is the beginning of Mars’ long pause between the final degrees of Cancer and the first degrees of Leo — more precisely from the 17th degree of Cancer to the 6th degree of Leo — a portion of the zodiac in which the planet will remain until late winter 2025. While on the individual level this passage marks a watershed moment within the single signs, favoring some decades over others — be sure to check the horoscopes of coming months to elaborate — on the social level it will have an interesting impact, as it will trace a long opposition of Mars to Pluto, which has now almost arrived at its final entry into Aquarius. Pluto and Mars in opposition — the two planets of the instinctual, phallic, energetic and dominant masculine — may trigger tensions and unrest even on a global level, as well as amplify the political-economic instability already shaken by Pluto’s change of sign, which had highlighted particularly sensitive geographical areas, including the Middle East, England and France.
Traditionally, France is associated with the sign of Leo, because of the grandeur reflected in its mighty architecture, the royalty from the châteaux of the Loire to the Louvre and the Opéra Garnier, and the noble character one encounters at every turn. Dostoevsky once wrote about the capital: “Go into a shop to buy something, and its least important salesman will crush you, simply crush you, with his astounding nobility.” But we should also go further and involve the sign of Cancer, which is close to the poetic and natural character of Provence, not to mention the always-important date of July 14. Based on these hypotheses — reliable but always to be verified with timely and never forced observations — Mars would run for months and months along the French borders, seas and mountains, triggering an opposition to Pluto capable of marking a point in historical time, with no return and toward a new equilibrium.
Élan vital. Mars crosses to the side, specifically for the second and third decades. Mercury is no different in the first half of October. From the outside someone tries to slow your momentum, allow your enthusiasms to fall into silence, place a veil over the flash in your eyes and decorate it with procrastination, revenge, envy. But to extinguish your vitality is a failed endeavor by definition; they can’t even do that from inside your capricious hip. And it would be even wiser not to indulge those outbursts on those who are eager to provoke you.
Laissez-faire. For as long as you can, it will be worth adopting a policy of non-intervention. Your ground and heart are safe; you are in the center of a circle that turns into a magic circle when needed, and you feel stronger. You can let yourself go into restful states of inertia, first for your head, when the world keeps complicating your life through the vagaries of the artificial and the bureaucratic. You can take charge later, with the relentless, protective determination that in a few words and strokes instills confidence in those on your side.
Mon chéri. There is a mine, a yours and an ours within your never belonging to anyone. Independence doesn’t clash with the will to build, stronger today than before. It’s in part due to the need to mend the rips that Saturn and Neptune have illuminated recently, on the smooth tunics of the arteries that carry feeling, which have become more sensitive and fatigued. Your rapid blood demands ever new oxygen, and the habit of seeking it elsewhere is giving way to a desire to breathe it there where it has always been, where it’s most dear, where it’s most yours.
Le jeu de société. The long conjunction of Mars activates you beyond measure, unsettles the metrics of the heart and shortens the distance between you and the world. In an always overly spectacular society, you realize you have a role and can’t always play the silent part. Saturn guarantees the safety of your image and the quality of your performance, supporting the suddenly courageous action, the kiss that emerges from an initiative all your own, forgetting the shyness and romance of all the kisses never given and only dreamed of. It’s a social game and they’ve put you in the front row.
Coup de théâtre. When no one expects it, it’s even more exhilarating. You don’t expect it either, carrying the insecurity that foreshadows every possible drama within the inside pocket of your jacket of courage. It’s all an epic duel between taking the field and wondering why, and it’s always been an applause. Mercury and Venus move quickly into quadrature from Scorpio, and alertness heightens perfectionism. Jupiter steadily protects from the left, while on the right someone trustworthy is ready to support you in a new venture about to see the light of day.
En plein air. According to Hegel, within your sign, we recognize “the freedom of the spirit manifesting itself concretely in the senses” in nature, and therefore the environment plays a fundamental role in cognitive process and thinking. When you’re outdoors you feel like you understand something more. When you give yourself over to the emotion that you don’t understand anything more, you feel like you’ve understood almost everything. While Jupiter and Saturn lock you into a reasonably tight, closed, petulant routine, Mars pushes you outside to breathe life and enjoy all its benevolent and unreasonable flavors.
Savoir faire. You like roller coasters because those of the soul have never overwhelmed you. You have to know how to ride it anyway, whether it’s a spike of unexpected happiness or a nosedive of disappointments already announced and uselessly exorcised. The quadrature of Mars gives you thrills you could do without — interruptions, suspensions in the void, restrained breaths, accelerated beats that almost stop. Everything awaits your liberating scream that melts the jaw tensions of grinding teeth and raises your cheekbones in unrestrained laughter, good for the perfect picture — even at 150 mph.
Faux pas. Inappropriate behavior is your specialty. But inappropriate for whom? When you want, you know how to play all the forms that society imposes, impeccable with the mask of partner, child, manager, politician, journalist etc… But the real fun lies beyond that; the authenticity of your passion runs on other tracks and what for ordinary people are derailments, for you are directions of life, exits of insecurity from the suffocating boredom of the imposed and all the same patterns that now, with Mars and Saturn in excellent trigon, you’re overcoming for good.
Déjà vu. While those born in the very first days of the sign — November 23 and 24 — experience new balances, surfing the transparent and important wave of exciting loves and opportunities, to others born in the sign it feels like they’re watching a movie they’ve already seen. Some would like to fast-forward at double speed, but zapping isn’t allowed and for some the frames run in slow motion. Watching again is useful in order not to relive and to have regard for a Venus that from the second half of the month marks your recovery, as leading actors that are definitely aware.
Rendez vous. Mars in opposition demands that you check your calendar and make sure that some the names on the list guarantee an enjoyable evening. The stranglehold of deadlines set as early as 2025 turns you into a darting contortionist, with a declared and as yet unfulfilled commitment to peel away from the iron rule of a demanding super-Ego and show up on time for your appointment with the Id: 6 p.m. each day, release a new emotion, simmer passion and freeze reason in a non-transparent film, late into the night.
Je ne sais quoi. That you’re ahead of the times of the world and outside the clichés of society is both your worry and your boast. You have no need to conform. Imitation and repetition aren’t for you, even when it would come in handy for more opportunities or to feel that you belong to someone and something. But that wouldn’t last long. Jupiter supports the success of your never-too-definable nature, giving confidence to your special touch that makes a difference, surrounded by endless copies and tired photocopies, with pride in being the only authentic possible portrait of you.
L’appel du vide. When you’re on the brink, at the upper or lower limit, the call of the void is strong. It draws you in with the power of Earth’s magnetism, sucking you in without gravity, with the promise of finding meaning or the peace of never having to look for one again. You’re in the midst of a Mars trigon, which for the third decade will last a long time, and at last you can face that desire to look into the abyss, without it overwhelming you. Also worthwhile is the thrill of earthly things, which, contemplated in their immediate simplicity, may suddenly appear exciting and worthy of life.
