The week begins with primal Mars having a brush with death—aka Pluto—on October 8. In astrology, Mars is conflict and Pluto is transformation, so remember that all antagonistic frustrations have something to teach you. In fact, they may even inspire a full-blown change in direction. Relationships will be tested as romantic Venus opposes cold and distant Saturn by October 10, showing you what can and cannot work. Some boundaries are not meant to be crossed, nor compromised. As Pluto retrograde in Capricorn comes to an end on the same day, you may find that power struggles are reaching boiling points and certain manipulators are being called out for their bad behavior. Karma tastes sweet, doesn’t it?
A moment of stability arrives on October 13 as powerful Mars forms a trine with Saturn—planet of stability and long-lasting commitments—allowing you to rebuild from the rubble and find your center. This will provide you support as a solar eclipse in Libra sparks change in every sense of the word, reaching its peak on October 14 at 1:54 p.m. ET. Solar eclipses bring fated changes, and as this eclipse joins forces with the South Node of Past Lives, you may be forced to let something go and break a karmic pattern once and for all. You don’t want to repeat the same mistakes, so have faith in what the Universe has in store for you next.
