Subject: Pluto Moves Forward ✨ Venus in the Solar Return

Dear Stargazers,

Despite a few lengthy void moons, this week's planetary activity offers more than a few opportunities to move forward, and after 5 months of retrograde motion, Pluto moves forward as well.

But before we get into the week ahead, if your birthday occurs anywhere from October 3 - November 13, Venus will be retrograde in your Solar Return chart.

And if your birthday occurs anywhere from October 24 - November 13, Mercury will be retrograde there as well.

So what does that mean for the year ahead? That's the subject of this week's episode of Astrology Unpacked, where I discuss Venus retrograde in the Solar Return.

As for Mercury (and comes January, Mars) retrograde in the Solar Return, I'll be talking about those in future episodes.

Most of the time, we experience Venus retrograde for about 40 days, but when it occurs during our Solar Return, we continue to feel its influence throughout the coming year.

Join me as I share why this can be a year of comparison shopping, and why the price we pay isn't always measured in dollars.

ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST
October 12-18 (EDT)

Void of Course Moon

These periods are not the best times to start something new or engage in activities that need a definite result.

October 13 — 04:47 AM - 9:00 PM

October 15 — 05:57 PM - 11:59 PM

October 16 — 12:00 AM - 08:58 AM

October 18 — 12:14 PM - 09:41 PM

Monday, October 12

If you need to research a topic, size up a person or figure out your next move, you can count on the transiting Scorpio Moon to support your efforts. Likewise, if you need to discuss something you feel strongly about, the Moon's mid-afternoon conjunction to Mercury may make it easier to get your points across.

Tuesday, October 13 • Void Moon Most of the Day

Although today's void Scorpio Moon doesn't support new endeavors, important decisions or actions that require definite outcomes, it's an excellent influence for organizing financial records, sorting through confidential paperwork and tying up loose ends.

Once the Moon enters Sagittarius (9:00 PM), the overall energy begins to relax.

Wednesday, October 14

Although an unexpected development in the early morning could find you rearranging your schedule, by the time lunch rolls around, you should be back on track.

And, thanks to a strong flow of supportive energy from the Moon to Mars and Saturn, the afternoon is an excellent time to move forward with your plans, especially those that require initiative and patience.

Thursday, October 15 • Sun sextile Jupiter • Pluto stations Direct

If you feel as though luck is on your side now, you may be right, because today's Sun-Jupiter sextile could bring an opportunity worth pursuing.

At 5:57 PM, the Moon goes void for the rest of the evening, signaling a time to take a breather from the demands of the day.

Later, at 10:40 PM, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius. More on this planetary event below.

Friday, October 16 • Mars trine Saturn

At 8:58 AM, the transiting Moon enters Capricorn, and the focus shifts to responsibilities, goals and what you want to accomplish today.

If you need to tackle a project that requires effort and persistence, this could be a day when you make significant progress. With Mars (initiative) trining Saturn (staying power), this planetary combination can help you finish the week strong.

Saturday, October 17

Given the practical, hardworking influence of the Capricorn Moon, you may find it difficult to relax if you have household projects, errands or other tasks that need to be taken care of. If that's the case, it's best to attend to them early in the day so you can check them off your list and enjoy some downtime.

Sunday, October 18 • Lengthy Void Moon

If you have anything important to do on Sunday, it's best to get it done before the Capricorn Moon goes void at 12:14 PM.

Once the Moon goes void, it's best for routine activities, catching up with friends, reading a good book, relaxing with your favorite music, or engaging in self-care.

PLUTO STATIONS DIRECT

On October 15, Pluto ends its 5-month retrograde cycle and stations direct at 3°04' Aquarius. From this point on, it will continue to move forward until it stations retrograde on May 8, 2027.

During this period, power struggles within all types of groups and organizations are likely to intensify.

On a mundane level, we can expect to see an increase in corporate and political battles over the development and use of artificial intelligence, especially in connection with who should be in charge of making those decisions.

That's a wrap!

I'll be back next Sunday with more astrological insights and guidance!

Until next time,

Debra
