October is going to be Pluto Intense: Hold On!
October has so much Pluto energy it may even feel intense for those who already working with a lot of Scorpio/Pluto/8th House energy in their birth charts.
When we have this amount of Plutonian, Scorpio energy, we are urged to use this potency for transformation.
We have barely had any reprieve from the intense cosmic weather in 2026. And I know it’s been tough. I feel it too. I feel like I need a holiday from 2026 but it’s just not happening.
And to be honest, these are the times we are in. If you are here on the planet at this time and on a spiritual journey, then you had better be committed. Pluto is wanting us to commit.
So what’s October got in store for us astrologically?
- On the 3rd Venus in Scorpio moves into her retrograde motion where she will remain until mid November.

- On the 6th, Mercury and Venus are conjunct in Scorpio — a day for deep intimate communication or for saying things we might regret. Watch how you work with this intense communication.
- From the 7th until the 10th is ideal to start to move with the waning lunar energy and slow down as we reach the Libra New Moon. The days leading up to the new moon as always good to pause and slow down. Naturally we feel inclined to do this and perhaps even more so after the intensity of the first week of October. Our new moon pauses are important every month because of the intense times we are in.
- On the 16th, Pluto finally starts his engines and comes out of retrograde to motion direct. All that excavation into the soul that has taken place over the months of his retrograde can start to be integrated. Coming up from the Underworld!
- Venus then has her Cazimi on the 23rd as we start official Scorpio season, but the whole month of October is probably going to feel like Scorpio season with Libra helping the relationship healing. The Sun is helping Venus shine a torch on what Venus has been showing you in her retrograde in Scorpio. — — What hard truths are you now ready to see in your relationships, both with yourself and others???
- On the 24th, we have Mercury’s last retrograde for the year in you guessed it — Scorpio!!! If we haven’t dug deep into the abyss by now, the penetrating of Scorpio is turned even further within.
- It may just feel like a relief to throw off what needs to leave on the Taurus full moon. Perhaps something that feels comfortable but is halting your growth? — Time to be honest about it….
