October 2025 - The World Stage Is Wobbling
It will be awhile before the dust settles. Meanwhile…
Mercury in Libra is square Jupiter in Cancer October 1. This is an optimistic event wherein we see details and truth very clearly. At the same time, though, rules will continue to be broken and drama is everywhere.
There could be a lot of water events that must be maneuvered. More storms, tsunamis, and floods are possible as the month begins. Remember that Jupiter, which is expansion is moving through water sign Cancer until the end of next June.
October 11-14 and October 24 - 29 are time when many of us will respond to life and its events with extreme responses and behavior. Some of us will want to make our own rules while others will trample the rules of society. Others of us will bring change and innovation.
The Full Moon Oct 6 2025 at 14 Aries at 10:48 pm CDT
The day before this full Moon, Mercury moves into Scorpio, exposing secrets. Hidden motives will be revealed and many of us will have to explore our deepest emotions while Mercury moves through Scorpio until October 29.
The full Moon in Aries coupled with Mars squaring Pluto and inconjunct Uranus in Gemini brings fearless decisions in the face of corruption and those who wish to control us. There will be those who wish to manipulate communications and those who wish to make them more truthful. Many of us will have to face down the people who want to hold us back. Individually and collectively, we will make decisions and take actions that improve our lives. Aries is a sign of action and war. There could be a lot of volatility around the full Moon. Use caution and have alternate plans for delays and mishaps.
At the same time, Venus in Virgo is sextile Jupiter in Cancer which creates deepening connections through wise words and actions. This is one of those times when benevolent leaders and behaviors create bonds that help us to achieve our goals. In our daily lives we can find companions to bond with amidst the chaos and collapse.
Pluto
The names of the planets in astrology correspond to the ancient gods of mythology. Pluto, also known as Hades, is the god of the underworld, death, and wealth.
Please remember that Pluto will finally finish the current transit through Aquarius in January 2044. When Pluto moves into a sign it destroys that which that sign represents and then rebuilds those systems to be better.
Aquarius is the masses. Pluto has begun to waken the citizens of the world to the injustices and inequalities of health and wealth that have run over the people since last leaving Aquarius in 1798.
Also, remember that Pluto went out of bounds south August 28 and that the most active days of this period began September 11 and last until November 9.
Since August 29, we the people have been busy taking back power.
- In Nepal, Gen Z youths clashed with that government burning the parliament building over a government ban on social media, corruption, and other government failures. The Prime Minister resigned.
- Iranians protested over economic hardships and political repression demanding a regime change.
- Russia is facing internal instability due to the ongoing Ukraine War.
- The Republic of Congo, Syria, Afghanistan, Chad, Somalia, and South Sudan are experiencing armed conflicts, insurgencies and humanitarian crises.
- Bangladesh has had civil unrest in the face of repressive government actions.
Pluto has been retrograde since May 4, Pluto retrograde has brought us intense energy and citizens rising to reclaim their power across the world. Pluto out of bounds south tends to skew societies towards seeking humanitarian solutions and confronting authoritarian officials and their edicts. Life and world events stir we the people to question established power structures and push for societal change and reclamation of our power individually and collectively.
Once Pluto goes direct October 13, the cork will pop off the bottle and pent-up frustrations will bring demand for reforms, initiate revolutions, and restructure societies with the intent to create progress and equality for all peoples across the planet. This is not limited to any one country nor just in 2025. In fact, Pluto will be out of bounds every year for a few months until 2035. This is the beginning. We have just begun to reshape the world for all of us and that will last for thousands of years.
October 11- 17
On October 11, Venus begins to affect the minor grand trine by opposing Saturn in Pisces. This can drum up fear and pessimism in us. We will have to deal with limitations and shortages and economic uncertainty. The answer is that we make important connections that are supportive of us. This could be one of those influences that pulls us into our local economy and connects us with our neighbors to depend on one another. This is a solution that is going to take hold a little bit every day over the years ahead.
At the same time as Pluto goes direct, Venus moves into her home sign, Libra, forming angles to the minor grand trine between Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto.
The combination brings unexpected actions and changes among the collective drive of humanity to insist on societal change. As we change and awaken individually during this time, cultures around the world will demand that those in charge adapt to what the masses dictate. Herein lies the struggle between those who call themselves elite and the rest of society around the planet.
These few days are very important, but we must proceed with caution and balance clear communication with realistic ideals and goals. People are waking up to realize we are all one and all deserve income equality as well as personal freedom, education, a roof over our head, and food on our table. Expect the unexpected during these few days as innovative ideas begin to take precedence over the gerontocracy and aristocracy that attempts to prevail.
The Sun in Libra is square Jupiter October 16/17. This brings over-the-top personalities making big claims. Someone will try to stir enthusiasm or dissension, but may not have the power to make their claims happen on the world stage and in our personal lives. Overreaches of power will occur but will most likely fail in the long run. We are seeing that daily across the planet.
October 19 - 25
Mercury crosses Mars in Scorpio October 19/20. Vile words and talk of war are most likely. There may even be strikes and battles that are more intense than those that are now happening.
Since this aspect occurs during the dark of the Moon, surprise attacks are likely. In our personal lives we must watch our backs.
The New Moon October 21 in Libra at 28 degrees at 7:26 am CDT
This new Moon forms an odd angle to the planets in the minor grand trine that you have been reading about here for several months. It also is very close to an opposition to Chiron and Eris both Aries. Chiron, is the wounded healer. In Aries it has brought the archetypal wounded male in society. Eris is the goddess of strife and discord. Many the men in our lives and on the world stage are trying to hang onto hypocrisies and influence others. This new Moon introduces reality checks to those who have have attempted to shape our lives with their ideas of entitlement and and insecurity.
Libra is about finding balance. This new Moon will show us how our realities are out of balance and that perhaps the reality in which we live is no longer one that supports us individually and collectively.
This new Moon is a very auspicious new beginning. Libra is a cardinal sign, which further enhances improvement, cooperation and new starts for us all. Use this energy to blend your dreams with the reality of your life. Focus on your spiritual awakening and balance in life. Allow for new and different people to come into your reality.
Two days later, the Sun is square Pluto bringing power struggles. Remember the story of SLEEPING BEAUTY? Her parents are so happy and there is a gathering at the palace and who shows up but Maleficent. She ruins the gathering. Someone in our lives or on the world stage is going to be Maleficent..
When Maleficent shows up, use Mercury in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Cancer to remain calm and remember your purpose. Know your goals and don’t let cruel intentions, words, or plans distract you from knowing that your long-term plans can be achieved. Do not bow to cruel intentions. Find your balance in the days around this new Moon. This is part of waking up to information that has always been there, but you did not see until now.
October 27 - 30
Once we get past Maleficent’s visit, Mars follows Mercury forming the same trine to Saturn and Jupiter. Take action in the face of threats and know that your bravery will put off those threats. Do not bend to bullies. Be the prince in Sleeping Beauty, armed with your sword of courage and knowledge.
With Mercury now in knowledgeable Sagittarius opposite Uranus in Gemini and sextile Pluto, pull in your scattered thoughts and channel your words and deeds that support constructive self-expression. Arm yourself with knowledge in the face of those who wish to scare you into submission. They are more scared than you because they are weaker than you.
In Conclusion
We are living through a traumatic time here on earth. With Pluto out of bounds south, and especially going direct, the zodiac is blessing us with the knowledge and courage to make the changes we the people know we deserve. Change will happen for all of us. That includes those who want to keep the old ways wherein a small group tells the rest of the world how to be and live. Noble causes that support the masses of humanity succeed while Pluto is out of bounds south. Those who want to give power to the few will be gone. This is true in our personal lives and on the world stage. The world stage began to wobble and collapse last month and the actors on the stage know this. That is why their acts are so extreme.
Do not be afraid. Do not engage in violence. Connect with your tribe and your community. We are slowly moving from top-down world to a bottom-up world where all of us have a say in our destiny. Arm yourself with knowledge, courage, love, and compassion and you will succeed. We have years to go through this process, so create a life you love in sprit of those who oppose your existence. Love always wins.

Read the summary with your calendar that shows the whole month on one page. Read through the intro and make note of the days that I point out. Mark the new Moon and the full Moon. The days between the new Moon and the full Moon are when you generally want to start something that you want to grow. Do look at that Moon void chart and take a rest on those days. I have discovered that no matter what I plan, it turns out another way on a Moon void day. Anything you try to accomplish will turn out with unexpected results.
Make note of the three days before the new Moon. People usually get anxious during these days because the phone does not ring or they feel confused or simply nothing is happen. That is because it is wind down time before the new Moon. You will usually notice that the action of life picks up once the new Moon occurs. Also note the days that planets change directions, especially Mercury retrograde.
Hopefully these suggestions will give you a bit of a start to maneuvering through life with astrology.
