Your October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Predictions Are Here

The next day, Sunday, October 23, marks the start of Scorpio season. Scorpio is a profoundly sensual and emotional sign. The next few weeks may bring passionate sex, increased intimacy, and an extra dose of jealousy. Channel any negative emotions through hobbies and creative projects. Scorpio season is also an excellent time of year for shadow work, or confronting the darker sides of yourself. This could mean working through trauma with the help of your support system or simply dressing up like your favorite villain for Halloween. 

While Halloween tends to bring many social invites, you may want to stay in and take it easy during the new moon and solar eclipse in intense Scorpio on Tuesday, October 25. Remember, these powerful cosmic events can lead to drama and unexpected endings, even if you did have fun watching them wearing funny goggles when you were younger. Use this day for rest and self-care, and save your energy for Halloween weekend.

However, Friday and Saturday are the best nights for celebrating, as Sunday, October 30, brings the start of Mars retrograde. Mars is the warrior planet associated with divine masculine energy, which we all contain regardless of gender. Mars is all about confidence and assertion, and so when it goes retrograde, you tend to feel lethargic. Don’t fight it; instead, use the start of Mars retrograde as an excuse for long baths, small dinner parties with friends, and plenty of cat naps.

October, the start of spooky Scorpio season and Halloween, encourages you to indulge in glamour rituals by wearing daring costumes or bold makeup looks. However, you’re also undergoing a spiritual transformation, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

October is a transformative month for your love life, Taurus. When strict Saturn ends its retrograde, you feel confident in your sexual desires and ready to explore them, especially around the full moon in Aries. Life is good, Taurus, but when Scorpio season begins, you may feel stressed out, so layer on that self-care, and remember that happiness is often a decision and not something anyone else can do for you.  Read your full October horoscope here, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, ends its retrograde, offering smooth sailing just in time for sexy Scorpio season and Halloween. Your style is iconic, and you can’t turn down a great party, Gemini, so go big this Halloween by getting your flirt on, dancing, and showing off your costume. Use the full moon and solar eclipse to rest this month because both are emotional times that can stir up drama, and you tend to do enough of that on your own, you heartbreaker.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

When the transformative planet Pluto goes direct this month, your love life advances for the best, whether that’s welcoming increased intimacy in a current relationship or enjoying the freedom of single life.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Your ruling planet is the sun, majestic Leo, which means that you radiate star power but are extra susceptible to the drama that accompanies solar eclipses, such as the one in Scorpio going down this month. However, October also brings Halloween, which means makeup, selfies, parties, and costumes, so get ready to revel in joy, even if you opt to spend the holiday doing something low-key with friends rather than rage all weekend.
