Full Moon in Aries, 15 October: your 9th house
On Friday 15 October the Moon comes full at 21°58′ Aries, at 13:47 UTC, facing the Sun in Libra; for Leo it fills the 9th house, the house of faith, travel and higher learning, from across the 3rd.
Astrologers treat the Full Moon as the month’s high tide; in October the tide rises in your 9th house, the place the tradition calls the God, and it shows a teacher’s influence, or your own as a teacher, coming into view. For Leo this October, Aries makes the mood direct and impatient, more willing to begin than to wait. Read as an axis, from your 9th house to your 3rd, this October Full Moon runs along the axis of the near and the far: daily words and larger beliefs, errands and pilgrimages.
A practice for the October Full Moon: find a teacher, a class or a book that is a little beyond you.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Leo forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.
See the year on your own RoadNew Moon in Scorpio, 29 October: your 4th house
On Friday 29 October the Moon and the Sun meet at 5°54′ Scorpio, at 13:37 UTC; for Leo that degree lies in the 4th house, the house of home, family and roots.
Astrology reads the New Moon as the time to start small and mean it, and in October the small start belongs to your 4th house, the Subterranean: a fresh start with a parent or with the memory of one. Set in your 4th house, the October lunation takes its tone from its sign: Scorpio lends it loyalty, depth and a long memory.
A practice for the October New Moon: mend one thing in the house that you have stepped around for months.
Planets changing sign or direction in October
Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio, your 4th house, appearing to stand still and then move backward through the zodiac for 21 days, until 28 October. The turn comes on 7 October, at 4°55′ Scorpio, and Mercury retrograde in your 4th house is read as a time for unfinished business at home and for old family conversations returning.
On 8 October Venus moves into Scorpio, which is your 4th house. Until 1 November, with Venus at the root of your chart, the tradition reads a warm spell for domestic pleasure, hospitality and peace at home.
Mars crosses into Sagittarius on 15 October and so into your 5th house. Until 25 November, Mars in your 5th house fires up desire and play: bold romance, competitive games and creative work done in a rush.
Mercury, moving retrograde, slips back into Libra on 16 October, returning to your 3rd house until 10 November, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in conversations, and writing and messages is read as coming back for a second look before Mercury moves on.
Pluto turns direct in Aquarius, your 7th house, a slow turn spread over several days. The turn comes around 18 October, at 4°44′ Aquarius, and since a slow planet’s turn is felt over weeks rather than on a day, the tradition would look for it in Leo’s contracts and agreements, and business partners through October.
The Sun enters Scorpio, your 4th house, on 23 October at 15:33 UTC. Until 22 November, with the Sun in your house of roots, the season turns inward, toward the household, the past and the people who are family.
Mercury turns direct in Libra, in your 3rd house: the backward loop that began on 7 October ends, and plans that stalled can move again, a little slowly at first. The turn comes on 28 October, at 19°18′ Libra. For Leo what was under review in conversations, and writing and messages can begin to move after 28 October, though the tradition counsels a few more days before signing or launching anything large.
Love, work and money for Leo in October
Venus begins October in Libra, your 3rd house, and enters Scorpio, your 4th, on 8 October, turning affection toward living together, family plans and the private life a couple shares.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Scorpio, your 4th, into Sagittarius (your 5th) on 15 October, so the drive of the month shifts toward creative work and any project you care about for its own sake.
For money, no lunation or fast planet changes in your 2nd house (Virgo) or your 8th (Pisces) in October, so the tradition would put the month’s weight elsewhere and leave Leo’s budgets to ordinary prudence.
Questions to carry through October
- Is my faith growing, or only being kept?
- What family pattern am I repeating without meaning to?
- What delights me that I have stopped making room for?
