Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all in retrograde motion this month. Saturn and Neptune will be returning to Pisces for one last visit before the end of October. Uranus will return to Taurus in November. This will feel unsettling. While the planets retrace their steps, so to speak, humanity is being called re-evaluate our current trajectory and make important course corrections. Doing this successfully will involve some reflection and evaluation on all of our parts. As we reflect and re-evaluate individually, the collective will begin to shift. So do not underestimate the power of personal growth and change this month. Humanity is being asked by Spirit to come together and envision a better future for all.
In the later part of October, we are being given a celestial gift in the form of a Grand Trine. In this case, Mars, Jupiter, and the Saturn/ Neptune conjunction are all in 120-degree aspects that form a large triangle in the sky. Traditionally a Grand Time is considered a blessing from God. October 22 to the 31st is a particularly positive interval that will spill over into early November.
If you live in a Northern state, I hope you have a chance to enjoy a grand display from the Aurora Borealis. There is also moderate activity of solar flares. 2025 has been intense and these seem to be reflections of the energy we are being asked to balance in October.
