The astrology for this week of October 6th through the 12th, 2025, ratchets up the intensity and calls for mindfulness, awareness, and caution.
The week opens with a fiery Aries Full Moon and Mercury entering Scorpio — a combination that amplifies both action and emotion.
People may be reactive, secretive, and edgy, demanding that we tread carefully.
The week begins with a push-pull between idealism and responsibility, gradually giving way to more balanced energies mid-week.
By the weekend, relationship challenges could arise, yet Sunday offers calm restoration and a chance to regroup.
Monday, October 6th – What Could Be, What Is – Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, Aries Full Moon, Sun, Mercury Scorpio.
Monday starts the week full of promise. The Moon enters Aries in the early morning hour and triggers the three transcendental planets with the Moon conjunct Neptune, the Moon sextile Uranus in Gemini, and the Moon sextile Pluto, all before dawn EDT. The day ends with the Aries Full Moon as the Moon opposes the Sun [11:48 PM EDT]. Mercury exits Libra to enter Scorpio [12:41 PM EDT].
Tone: Intense, purposeful, emotionally charged.
Background: The week begins dynamically as the Moon enters Aries and immediately activates the three transcendental planets. This surge of energy fuels initiative and visionary focus. Yet, with Mercury entering Scorpio, communication sharpens, growing incisive and sometimes cutting. The Aries Full Moon illuminates the tension between independence and collaboration.
Best Practices:
• Channel intensity into focused, meaningful tasks.
• Use technological or innovative tools to streamline work.
• Be mindful in communication — precision without provocation.
Pitfalls:
- Impatience, verbal sharpness, impulsivity, or self-absorption.
How to Use It: Balance assertiveness with restraint. Avoid forcing outcomes and allow insights to unfold through observation rather than reaction.
Tuesday, October 7th – My Way or Else – Jupiter, Moon Void-of-Course, Mercury, Pluto.
Tuesday has the Aries Moon square Jupiter. The Moon then goes Void-of-Course for almost eleven hours [2:24 PM – 1:12 AM EDT Wednesday] with the Moon making no further connection to the planets as the Moon completes its transit of Aries and before the Moon enters Taurus early o Wednesday. Mercury squares Pluto.
Tone: Combustible, defensive, confrontational.
Background: This day intensifies mental focus yet risks verbal aggression. Mercury’s square to Pluto sharpens the intellect but can breed power struggles. While clarity is available, tone and timing matter. The Moon’s long void period suggests we pause before pushing forward.
Best Practices:
- • Use analytical skills for problem-solving rather than criticism.
- • Avoid debates; people are quick to take offense.
- • Apply energy toward solitary projects that require concentration.
Pitfalls:
- • Verbal clashes, manipulation, taking things personally.
How to Use It: Step back and reflect. Channel mental precision into research or quiet focus instead of heated exchanges.
Wednesday, October 8th – Circling the Wagons – Lunar T-Square, Pluto, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter.
Wednesday has the Moon entering Taurus where today the Taurus Moon triggers a Fixed Sign T-Square with the Taurus Moon square Pluto and the Moon opposed both Mercury and Mars. Venus sextiles Jupiter.
Tone: Defensive, stubborn, emotionally intense.
Background: The Taurus Moon engages a tense Fixed T-Square, intensifying control dynamics and stubborn behavior. Venus’ sextile to Jupiter offers a softening influence — small pleasures or kind gestures can ease tension. Avoid confrontations; persistence now borders on futility.
Best Practices:
- • Keep conversations light and avoid controversial topics.
- • Focus on practical organization or physical work to discharge stress.
- • Ground yourself through nature or tactile activities.
Pitfalls:
- • Digging in heels, possessiveness, stubborn standoffs.
How to Use It: Stay centered. These are days for patience, calm, and self-containment rather than persuasion or confrontation.
Thursday, October 9th – After the Storm – Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Moon Void-of-Course.
Thursday continues with the Taurus Moon with the Moon today sextile Jupiter in Cancer, the Moon trine Venus, and the Moon sextile Saturn in Pisces. The Moon then goes Void-of-Course for four and three-quarters hours [8:31 PM – 1:12 AM EDT Friday].
Tone: Smooth, productive, stabilizing.
Background: After two tense days, Thursday restores equilibrium. The Moon’s harmonious aspects to Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn provide both inspiration and structure. This is an excellent day for organization, planning, and solidifying progress. Energy flows steadily and supportively.
Best Practices:
- • Advance projects that were delayed earlier in the week.
- • Present ideas diplomatically and aesthetically — style matters.
- • Strengthen systems and reinforce stability in key areas.
Pitfalls:
- • Complacency or assuming momentum will last without focus.
How to Use It: Operate strategically. When energy flows easily, take advantage by building lasting results and consolidating gains.
Friday, October 10th – Serendipity Assists Us – Neptune, Uranus, Pluto.
In the early morning of this Friday, the Moon exits Taurus and enters Gemini. The Gemini Moon today engages the three transcendental planets with the Gemini Moon sextile Neptune, the Moon conjunct Uranus, and the Moon trine Pluto, all in the early morning hours.
Tone: Inspired, intuitive, spontaneous.
Background: Friday’s early morning Moon in Gemini activates the three transcendental planets, opening pathways for inspiration and synchronicity. Dreams and intuitive flashes can provide guidance. The day encourages spontaneity and creative exploration, provided we release rigid plans.
Best Practices:
- • Stay open to unexpected opportunities and insights.
- • Note dreams or intuitive impressions — they carry significance.
- • Allow flexibility in schedule and mindset.
Pitfalls:
- • Overanalyzing, scattering energy, or trying to control outcomes.
How to Use It: Follow the current of inspiration. Let the universe reveal its rhythm rather than imposing your own agenda.
Saturday, October 11th – Carried Away – Sun, Lunar T-Square, Saturn, Venus, Moon Void-of-Course.
Saturday has the Gemini Moon trine the Sun, and the Gemini Moon triggering a Mutable Sign T-Square with the Moon square Saturn in Pisces and the Moon square Venus in Virgo. Late in the day, the Moon goes Void-of-Course for three and half hours [10:56 PM – 2:37 AM EDT Sunday]. Venus opposes Saturn.
Tone: Reactive, overextended, reality-checking.
Background: After a visionary Friday, Saturday’s Mutable T-Square demands balance between idealism and practicality. Venus opposing Saturn can reveal limits in relationships or finances. Enthusiasm meets resistance, but measured response restores perspective.
Best Practices:
- • Pace yourself; avoid overcommitting or promising more than you can deliver.
- • Acknowledge emotional boundaries — yours and others’.
- • Use setbacks as opportunities for recalibration.
Pitfalls:
- • Emotional fatigue, disappointment in others, overextension.

- • Connect with loved ones or spend time in nurturing environments.
- • Reflect on lessons from the past week and prepare for renewal.
