Happy October, Pisces. Last month brought the start of Mercury retrograde, but it came with a silver lining. You likely put off any big “talks,” whether it was defining a romantic relationship or signing a new work contract. You’re a creative, intuitive water sign with plenty of emotions. However, like your symbol, the fish, you often want to swim away from confrontations. Putting things off solves nothing, so when Mercury goes direct on Sunday, October 2, prepare to make decisions and talk them out. Yes, talking about new jobs or monogamy can be very stressful, but you can’t swim in uncertainty forever, Pisces. Approach touchy topics with love and empathy (you have plenty), and you’ll be fine. 

Mercury isn’t the only planet that ends its backward dance this month. Pluto, the ruler of the underworld, goes direct in devilish Capricorn on Saturday, October 8. The transformative planet began its retrograde at the end of April and, following the themes above, helped you identify your needs in order to communicate them directly to others. Now that both Mercury and Pluto are direct, you are emboldened to ask for what you want, whether that’s an open relationship, marriage, or more money. If you never ask, Pisces, you’ll never get what you want. While no astrologer can promise cash in this economy, speaking of getting what you want, stay on alert for welcome professional news around the full moon in Aries on Sunday, October 9. At times, full moons are drama queens, but they also represent manifestation and culmination, and this lunation points towards abundance, Pisces.

And, speaking of abundance, back in June, Saturn, the taskmaker of the zodiac, also went retrograde, asking everyone to reexamine their boundaries. For you, Pisces revisited how you view possessions. When Saturn goes direct in Aquarius on Saturday, October 22, you may have a new perspective on abundance, which doesn’t need to mean money. Our emotions are our possessions and remember, abundance is a mindset. Now that Saturn is stationed direct work on your gratitude practice to remind yourself of the joy in life even in tough economic times. And, if a gratitude practice feels like toxic positivity, first try rage journaling. It’s exactly what it sounds like, writing about everything that pisses you off, and damn does it feel good.  

The infamous Scorpio season begins on Sunday, October 23, encouraging you to continue such shadow work, which just means working with darker emotions. Creating a gratitude journal is much easier after you let out your rage. But speaking of negative emotions, layer on self-love during the new moon and solar eclipse in Scorpio on Tuesday, October 25. Eclipses can bring sudden change and endings and leave you feeling paranoid. If you can, allow for an extra hour of sleep, spend some quality time with a vibrator, or enjoy a low-key game night with friends.

The stars point to a fun Halloween, despite the eclipse, because the lucky planet Jupiter enters your sign, Pisces, on Thursday, October 27, sprinkling cosmic fairy dust all over your plans. However, don’t be surprised if you feel drawn toward a low-key Halloween this year. Mars, the planet which rules assertion and aggression, goes retrograde in Gemini on Sunday, October 30. As a result, the aforementioned game nights or small dinner parties may feel preferable over late-night ragers. Check in with yourself, honor your needs, don’t be scared to wear an epic Halloween costume, and we’ll see you next month.
