Full Moon in Aries, 15 October: your 7th house
Friday 15 October brings the Full Moon at 21°58′ Aries, exact at 13:47 UTC, opposite the Sun in Libra, and for Libra it lands in the 7th house, the house of partners and agreements.
Astrology reads a Full Moon as an axis rather than a point, and the October axis runs through your 7th house, the Setting, showing where a relationship stands, which is often clearer under a Full Moon than anyone would like. Set in your 7th house, the October lunation takes its tone from its sign: Aries lends it courage and haste in equal measure. Read as an axis, from your 7th house to your 1st, this October Full Moon runs along the axis of self and partner: how much of the year is yours to steer, and how much is shared.
A practice for the October Full Moon: make peace with a rival, or at least stop feeding the quarrel.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Libra 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 2nd house
On Friday 29 October the Moon and the Sun meet at 5°54′ Scorpio, at 13:37 UTC; for Libra that degree lies in the 2nd house, the house of money, possessions and values.
Astrologers treat the New Moon as the month’s quiet beginning; in October that beginning is made in your 2nd house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the Gate of Hades, and it is read as an intention about what you are worth and what you will no longer give away cheaply. In your 2nd house this October, Scorpio, fixed water ruled by Mars in the old books, gives it an intense and private manner.
One way for Libra to meet it in October: give away, sell or repair one possession you have been keeping out of guilt.
Planets changing sign or direction in October
Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio, your 2nd 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 2nd house is read as a time to recheck budgets, invoices and purchases, and to think twice before spending large sums.
Venus enters Scorpio on 8 October, your 2nd house. Until 1 November, with Venus in your house of possessions, the tradition reads a pleasant spell for earning, buying beautiful things and valuing yourself.
Mars crosses into Sagittarius on 15 October and so into your 3rd house. Until 25 November, Mars in your 3rd house sharpens the tongue: brisk messages, heated debates and a crowded schedule of short journeys.
Mercury, moving retrograde, slips back into Libra on 16 October, returning to your 1st house until 10 November, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in the body and your appearance is read as coming back for a second look before Mercury moves on.
Pluto turns direct in Aquarius, your 5th 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 Libra’s children, and pleasure and play through October.
The Sun enters Scorpio, your 2nd house, on 23 October at 15:33 UTC. Until 22 November, with the Sun in your house of money, the season favors practical attention to earnings, spending and what you will not trade away.
Mercury turns direct in Libra, in your 1st 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 Libra what was under review in the body and your appearance 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 Libra in October
Venus begins October in Libra, your 1st house, and enters Scorpio, your 2nd, on 8 October, turning affection toward what you give and receive in love, and whether affection is being bought or freely offered. The Full Moon on 15 October falls in your 7th, the house of partners and agreements.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Scorpio, your 2nd, into Sagittarius (your 3rd) on 15 October, so the drive of the month shifts toward emails, contracts, writing and the everyday traffic of a working week.
For money, Mercury turns retrograde in your 2nd on 7 October, Venus arrives in your 2nd on 8 October and the Sun arrives in your 2nd on 23 October: the house of what you earn and own. Read October as a time for looking at income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses, without expecting the sky to settle the sums for you.
