Transits in the sky for October

Astrology Transits for October 2025

It's time to look at the sky for the coming month of October.

The eclipses have now passed and there is an energy of new beginnings in the sky as we enter October. We began the month with the victory day of the divine goddess over the enemies (the lower tendencies) and now we can feel comfort in the field being cleared.

The abundant, growing energy of Uttara Phalguni continues until the next New Moon where we see Chitra constellation activated. Chitra is about the truth. It especially resonates with the saying, “Art is a lie that tells the truth”. Or you could say it another way, you can only speak the truth of what’s really going on if you’re a comedian making a joke about it. So expect some home truths to land quite strongly later in October and into November. More on that below…

Traditionally in Vedic culture we are entering the Autumn festival season. This period particularly celebrates the goddess and the natural giving and serving energy of the divine feminine.

Friday, October 3rd 

Main Event: Fasting on the 11th day of the increasing Moon

Tuesday, October 7th 

Main Event: Full moon in Revati

Revati is a constellation of resources and facilitation. The Full Moon is about completion and finishing things. So this Full Moon brings a completing energy to assets, resources and management in general. If you’ve been seeking to complete something around material organisation in your life, this Full Moon brings a great help to that.

Thursday, October 9th 

Main Event: Venus enters Virgo

Venus is generally unhappy in Virgo, an intellectual and calculating sign. This can bring you to a place where you over-analyse your relationships with others. Venus is also opposite Saturn in this period adding to the tension. So it’s good to have patience and kindness and not over-think the relationships of life.

Friday, October 17th 

Main Event: Sun enters Libra, Fast decreasing moon

The cosmic attention turns to LIbra with the Sun entering. Sun in Libra is a death to the ego, and a giving up of your personal way you want things to be in order to meet others, collaborate and work together in partnerships. You need to give a bit in order to work with others and it’s time to consider that during the next 4 weeks.

Sunday, October 19th  

Main Event: Diwali

Diwali is a festival celebrated over New Moon celebrating the inner illumination of the spirit, even in the face of many layers of confusion and uncertainty which can come in the external world. It’s a great time to come back to centre and fan the flame of your inner spirit. It is a great time to meditate and welcome in the New Moon energies described below…

Tuesday, October 21st  

Main Event: New Moon in Chitra

This month the New Moon lands in Chitra constellation. Chitra is ultimately about Truth. What is the truth? What is your truth? Expect lies to shake out over the coming month. Chitra is also about beauty and ingenuity, creation and incremental development.

Chitra wants to improve everything and everyone. It is connected to Mars and invokes Mars ability to stick with the journey all the way to the end. Chitra is also related to Visvakarma, the engineer of the gods. Chitra months are great for building, designing and creating projects.

Friday, October 24th  

Main Event: Mercury enters Scorpio

Mercury gives a mixed influence in Scorpio. This transit also brings themes of over-thinking, or over-trying to do things. It’s a good time to breathe, slow down and not get stuck in the head.

Monday, October 27th  

Main Event: Mars enters Scorpio

Mars is moving alongside Mercury which is an uncomfortable companionship. These two planets are quite competitive and don’t get on easily. Mercury the thinker and Mars the doer. Procrastination will feel more uncomfortable and over-doing without first working things out will too.

It’s a big pendulum swing and during this time it can be hard to know where on that spectrum it’s best to sit. Mars will likely push Mercury to do more and think less, calculate less. Mars rules Scorpio so his influence over Mercury is stronger than the other way around. This can lead to some rash decisions, and jumping into unclear situations too (they’re in the natural 8th sign of hidden situations).
