Fire and Lux Horoscopes October 2020 By: Erin The Urban Mermaid
October 6, 2020It is time for spooky season witches! October is going to be a wild month with not one, but TWO full moons! On October 1st we have the Full Moon in Aries and on Halloween we have the Taurus Full Moon, very rarely do we see two Full Moon’s in a month. We also have the New Moon in Libra on October 16th. And lest we forget, the last Mercury Retrograde of 2020 is baaack on 10/14 – but watch out for it’s shadow phase! All this moon magick and more retrogrades promises for an eventful October. Read on to see what’s in store for your Sun sign this month. . .
Aries (Mar. 20th – Apr. 21st) – The first full moon is all you baby! Aries, now is the time to be creating clear intentions and focusing on seeing them through until the end. We know you can be a little impulsive at the beginning of things but it is important you stay steadfast to reach your goals. You got this Aries!
Taurus (4/22- 5/20) – With part of this month being Libra season and the Libra new moon, you need to be working with that Venusian energy you share with Libra, Taurus. You love beautiful things, it’s time for you to stop and enjoy the change of seasons. Slow down, fall into Fall and embrace comfy season. This won’t be too difficult for you Taurus, these are all of your fave things!
Gemini (5/21- 6/20) – You were one busy bee this summer Gemini. This month you need to find a little balance in your on the go lifestyle. The best way you can do this is self care. Take some much needed time for yourself and slow down. Try incorporating yoga and short meditations into your routine. Watch what you make space for to come in when you slow down and become more intentional.
Cancer (6/21-7/22) – So much moon energy this month, Moon Child. And so many retrogrades. You are particularly sensitive to the phases of the moon so be extra gentle with yourself this month. You may find yourself a little bit moodier than usual. Just remember, your moods ebb and flow and nothing is permanent.
Leo (7/23-8/22) – Leo, this month you need to add some more grounding into your life especially with Mercury Retrograde. Spend some extra time alone in nature, nourish your body with warm root veggies, meditate and just breathe. Grounding will be so restorative to your fiery soul and prepare you for the winter months.
Virgo (8/23-922) – Like your fellow Mercurian sign Gem, you need to find some balance this month Virgo. You have been all werk werk werk and zero play for a long time. Get out and enjoy yourself already! You are way too hard on yourself and are always putting others before yourself. This needs to be the month of YOU Virgo.
Libra (9/23-11/21) – Libra, this is the month for you to be nourishing your romantic relationship. You and your partner need some alone time to rekindle your fire. Try a romantic weekend with all the Fall vibes, cuddle up under a warm blanket, sip some hot cider and enjoy each other’s company.
Scorpio (10/22-11/21) – Spooky season is your jam Scorpio! Now is the time for you to be going deep with your rituals and spiritual practices. With 3 powerful moons and the very thin veil on All Hallow’s Eve your manifestations will hold even more power. Spend this month working with this energy, set your intentions and trust during this powerful time everything you desire will be coming your way.
Sagittarius (11/22-12/21) – You may feel like you are in a weird limbo phase right now Sag. What do you need to let go of to get you out of the feeling of being so stuck? Remember, when we let go, we are trusting the Universe to deliver us something even greater. Release whatever is not for your highest good and expect something amazing in return.
Capricorn (12/22-1/20) – Time to fall into slow season Capricorn. Mercury Retrograde can really throw you for a loop so it’s time to take things in your life down a notch. Finish up any outstanding projects, set some boundaries and say “NO” to anything that you really do not want to partake in. It’s not mean, it is honoring yourself.
Aquarius (1/21-2/17) – Aquarius, you need to have some fun in your life. This month is perfect for that. Enjoy some Halloween festivities, we know your costume won’t be the traditional one out of the bag, but something that will WOW everyone. We can’t wait to see what you’ve cooked up Aquarius.
Pisces (2/18-3/19) – Pisces, you yourself are the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. So this month with all the moon magick and the thin veil into the spiritual world on All Hallow’s Eve, your intuition will be on point. TRUST IT. You are about to be magickal AF Pisces.
* These horoscopes are based on your Sun sign. If it does not resonate with you, check your natal chart for your Moon and Rising sign, one of those or a combination of all three might be a better fit. Dates for the signs vary from year to year, if you are born close to a cusp check your chart to see which sign you fall into, although most likely, traits of both will apply.
