Welcome to October with our Saturnine guidance. We begin with a glimpse into the sky’s current rhythm, then move into your October 2025 horoscope, paired with the artwork that captures your sign’s mood this month.
October opens in the season of measured, elegant, and Venusian Libra. It is Autumn, that time when everything feels simply more true, vulnerable, and beautiful precisely for being so.
On October 22, the Sun will shift into transformative Scorpio, and the energies grow more intense: the scales are no longer evenly balanced, the weight moves depending on perspective, calling for reflection, discernment, and transformation.
On October 6, the Full Moon will shine in the fiery skies of Aries, and the energies will all be directed toward action, assertive, courageous, and at times reckless.
Venus returns to her natural home on October 13, as she moves from Virgo into Libra. Here, everything calls for harmony, the pursuit of beauty that is essential, formal, and all-encompassing. On the same day, Pluto turns direct in Aquarius, and its energies, precisely in the season that praises balance, flow back into harmony, its revolutionary music once again in tune.
On October 21, the Moon and the Sun will meet, and the New Moon in Libra will push us all toward an inner reflection that is measured, cautious, yet also judging. Our inner judge leads us back to the places where we feel vulnerable, where we feel incomplete.
Neptune, retrograde, returns to Pisces on the 22nd, and this is our moment to revisit those unresolved matters, especially the ones tied to our sense of connection with creative, inspirational, and mental power.
October is gonna be a time that invites us to imitate the flow of nature, to do as the earth does in autumn, when it seems to take stock, to find calm in order to rest, and to begin a new cycle with a different awareness, one closer to our inner values.

Aries (21 March – 20 April)
Autumn, with its warm colors and the sense that everything is suspended for eternity, marks the halfway point of your solar cycle, the moment when balances are taken. The Sun and Venus in opposition remind you that there is always another perspective, that the other side of the coin is not shadow but possibility, and that where there is darkness you can rediscover the light. The Full Moon shines in your sign, shifting you from the world of doing to the world of feeling. And what if what you are seeking simply isn’t meant to be found just yet? What if this is not the time for answers, but the right time to keep searching for them?
“The Sea of Ice” by C. D. Friedrich is your painting of the month, inspiring you to seek meaning in your path as you stand before the infinite.
Taurus (22 April – 30 May)
Mars still stands in opposition, unleashing storms and tempests within your inner garden, which now feels like a battlefield where nothing seems under control. But is that truly a problem? Perhaps control itself is only an illusion you created out of fear of losing yourself within. How deep is the realm of your unconscious? If you allow yourself to be carried to the bottom, you will resurface with a renewed sense of self. Jupiter, still in sextile, helps you transform these complex emotions into art, not the kind that hangs on a wall, but the kind that creates a passage between your inner world and the universe.
“The Scream” by Edvard Munch is your painting of the month, inspiring you to give voice to your feelings, even when words fall short.
Gemini (21 May – 21 June)
The leaves change color, the winds transform, and the earth now begins to carry a different scent. This is the moment when everything is in great motion while appearing, pleasantly, still. You too may seem unmoving, in your ideas, in your decisions, in the projects you’ve carried forward for so long, or in relationships that perhaps no longer flow. Yet with Uranus still in your sign, nothing within you is truly static; everything shifts and slowly takes on new form. The trine of the Sun and Venus draws you toward life’s pleasures, while Saturn’s square reminds you that even the darker passages of life guide you along the right path.
“Coquelicots” by Monet is your painting of the month, reminding you of the poetry hidden in contemplating a moment that becomes eternal.
Cancer (22 June – 23 July)
Jupiter still in your sign, with Neptune, Saturn, Mercury, and Mars all in trine, everything seems to point toward a single solution to your problems and a single answer to your questions: change. But what exactly must change? Autumn, with its fascinating foliage, stirs in you the desire for a renewed balance, where you bravely cut ties with the past that no longer works and leap toward new horizons. The squares of the Sun and Venus urge you to be more measured and cautious, yet now is the right moment to rebel against stillness.
“Four Seasons” by Mucha is your painting of the month, reminding you that nothing remains fixed and everything flows in a continuous metamorphosis.
Leo (23 July – 23 August)
October is that time when everything seems to be making its way home, toward the familiar, the comforting, the warm embrace. And so you too may feel the need to return home. But where is home? Is it where your roots lie, or where you feel understood, seen, and accepted? Venus in sextile suggests that you seek home in those who truly look within you, while Mars in square reminds you that if you also embrace the darkness inside yourself, home is anywhere you can be fully present with who you are.
“Ulysse reconnu par sa nourrice à son retour de Troie” by William-Adolphe Bouguereau is your painting of the month, reminding you that home is where you feel seen, and where the journey finds its completion.
Virgo (24 August – 22 September)
While autumn represents an ending for the trees, for your inner tree, rooted, strong, and full of leaves, this is a new beginning. The warm embrace of Jupiter in sextile continues to support your growth; the branches of your tree stretch outward, reaching places you never thought you could even glimpse from afar. Mars, also in sextile, seems to strengthen your roots so that the pains of the past are now only memories of your resilience. Even the Sun, in sextile at the end of the month, illuminates your desire to reveal a side of yourself no one has seen before.
“Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe” by Manet is your painting of the month, inspiring you to shed the judgments of the past.
Libra (23 September – 23 October)
The Sun now shining in your sky feels warmer than usual, so warm that at times you may feel as if you’re burning. You burn with desire, with urgency, with passion. This is your season: as the earth prepares for a long slumber, you awaken. It is the right moment to embrace the lesson of Jupiter’s square, even when it feels difficult to step into certain external dynamics, if they serve to expand your world, do it, even if it frightens you. The circle around you will begin to widen, carrying you so far that you’ll be catapulted into the infinite, where everything is possible and nothing, at last, is meaningless.
“Untitled” by Basquiat is your painting of the month, urging you to break the rules even when you’re afraid of making too much noise.
Scorpio (23 October – 23 November)
Mars still in your sign carries you toward the close of your solar year. Leaves fall from the trees, just as some of your certainties will also fall away. Do not be afraid, you know how to regenerate the ashes of what was once fire but has now become a past that no longer reflects you. At the end of the month, the Sun enters your sign and a new cycle begins, this time with fewer certainties but many inspirations. Even if you don’t yet know the right path to reach them, this is the moment to aim for unrealized dreams, impossible loves, and a new version of yourself. The trines of Saturn and Neptune blow wind onto the fire of imagination and the ability to weave the ideal into the ordinary.
“Apollon et les neuf Muses” by Gustave Moreau is your painting of the month, reminding you that within inspiration lie the coordinates of happiness.
Sagittarius (23 November – 21 December)
Autumn is slow; its time is that of suspension, that place where nothing lasts forever, yet nothing is ever truly finished. Even if your fire prefers the intense blaze that unsettles balance, Saturn in square keeps it tempered. You feel cautious, calm, not devouring life, but trying to savor it. Venus in sextile brings love, not the direct and overwhelming kind, but the one hidden between the lines, that at times camouflages itself within life. It will be up to you to recognize it, first within yourself, then out in the world.
“Woman Seated in an Armchair” by Matisse is your painting of the month, inspiring you to rediscover calm in the space of emptiness.
Capricorn (22 December – 20 January)
The sextile of Mars brings you back into the world of action, where ideas, plans, and desires turn into movement. Alongside it, the Sun in sextile at the end of the month illuminates your path which, even when filled with obstacles and detours, now feels less burdensome. Saturn, your ruling planet, has a plan for you: it wants you to tend to those unresolved feelings you once so carefully buried when you didn’t know how to handle them. Perhaps you still don’t, but it no longer matters. You don’t need to be a master to teach. If you accept your emotions, you’ll see them transform into something tangible, something that takes shape and fills the space in your life that once felt too empty.
“Red Eiffel Tower” by Robert Delaunay is your painting of the month, inspiring you to find your way again through the creative act of construction.
Aquarius (21 January – 19 February)
The grace of autumn, its authenticity in stripping everything bare and celebrating vulnerability as a genuine gift, inspires you to rediscover your own personal harmony. Mars in square seems intent on reminding you that nothing lasts forever, and even if you struggle to imagine the opposite of infinity, you now feel more fragile. Like the branches of trees, you feel exposed, but also lighter, with fewer burdens to carry, only the essential. Pluto, in its slow and epochal stay in your sign, stirs your inner ground and strengthens your emotional resilience. Are you truly certain of what you want?
“The Young Beggar” by Murillo is your painting of the month, reminding you of the value hidden in vulnerability, where everything that is true is also, quite simply, profound.
Pisces (20 February – 20 March)
Your sky is incredibly clear; the autumn mists do not disturb you, you feel strong, resilient, assured. And yet, time itself seems to obey different rules. Neptune and Saturn retrograde in your sign turn minutes into ages and long journeys into flashes of light. It is easy to lose your way without a working clock, but if, as the old saying goes, even a broken clock is right once a day, then you too, in the confusion of this autumn, will still manage to find your path. Mercury in sextile grants you the charm you need to convince others that everything is under control. But is control truly what matters?
“La persistencia de la memoria” by Salvador Dalí is your painting of the month, reminding you that the only time you must follow now is the inner one, fluid, dreamlike, expanding within memory and reverie.
