By Mayia Alleaume,
After a September marked by liberation and awakening, October 2025 stands out as a month of depth and radical transformation. If September offered us the opportunity to purify, observe, and understand our blockages, October pushes us further: it asks us to delve into the heart of our shadows to reveal the raw strength dormant within us.
Why was September liberating?
September was a pivotal month. Lunar energies and planetary retrogrades brought to light our old wounds, repetitive patterns, and illusions. Many of us felt tension, inner confrontations, and sometimes even a sense of being at our wit's end. Yet, these turbulences were necessary. They allowed us to tear away the veil of illusion and reveal a purer truth: what was no longer aligned had to disappear.
September marked a time of introspection and clarification. It was like a stripping bare, an unburdening to remind us that growth often comes from confrontation and the courage to face our shadows. This process paved the way for a new, more conscious energy that we will fully embody in October.
Why is October so profound?
October 2025 is a turning point month. Energies become more intense, more radical, as if the universe is inviting us to an initiatory passage. Pluto, master of transformations, plays a central role: first retrograde until October 14, it dug into the most hidden parts of our unconscious. Then, resuming its direct motion, it releases a new power, offering us the opportunity to act with clarity and determination.
This month is therefore marked by two major axes:
-
Strength and determination: learning to structure our desires, build on solid foundations, and channel our energy to create concrete results.
-
Revelation and rebirth: accepting deep transformation, freeing ourselves from the last resistances, and allowing a new version of ourselves to emerge.
Guidance from the stars
Lunar phases
- October 7 – Full Moon in Aries: an explosion of energy that pushes to action. Ideal time to courageously release what still holds us back. This Full Moon shakes us up. It acts like a burst of energy, awakening our inner fire and forcing us to release what is cluttering us. It is an invitation to become aware of our potential for action and to dare courageous choices.
- October 13 – Last Quarter in Cancer: time for emotional purification, an invitation to recenter and prepare for transformation. A moment of emotional purification. This phase reminds us that true strength comes from a peaceful heart. It is time to sort through our emotions, consolidate what nourishes us, and let go of what weakens us.
- October 21 – New Moon in Libra: planting new intentions based on balance, justice, and inner harmony. A tipping point. Here, it is time to plant clear intentions around balance, justice, and inner peace. This New Moon asks us to review our relationships, set fair boundaries, and build a daily life aligned with our values.
-
October 29 – First Quarter in Capricorn: take concrete actions, build on solid foundations, prepare for future success.
Construction takes shape. The energy becomes concrete, pragmatic. This phase pushes us to act methodically, to structure our projects, and to root ourselves in a sustainable vision. It is time to assert our discipline and determination.
Personal guidance: This month's lunar phases are a precise map for moving from liberation (Aries) to alignment (Libra), then to materialization (Capricorn). Listen to them as steps in a transformation ritual.
Planetary movements: the keys to metamorphosis
-
Pluto retrograde (October 1st→ 14): deep and radical introspection, revelation of our hidden fears as well as our self-sabotaging patterns.
-
October 6 – Mercury enters Scorpio: intense and lucid communication, search for truth beyond appearances. We no longer tolerate masks or pretense.
-
October 13 – Venus enters Libra: need for harmony and beauty in our relationships, search for balance and sincerity.
-
October 14 – Pluto direct: liberation of inner blockages, taking action and reclaiming our personal power. What we have deeply understood must now be embodied.
- October 23 – Sun in Scorpio: intensity rises further, the Scorpio season plunges us into a journey of transformation, an invitation to dive into the depth of the soul where symbolic death precedes rebirth.
Personal guidance: use these transits as mirrors. Pluto asks you to face your shadows, Mercury invites you to speak truthfully, Venus to love fairly, and the Sun in Scorpio to be reborn in your full power.
