Full Moon in Aries, 15 October: your 6th house
Friday 15 October brings the Full Moon at 21°58′ Aries, exact at 13:47 UTC, opposite the Sun in Libra, and for Scorpio it lands in the 6th house, the house of daily work, habits and health routines.
At a Full Moon the Moon faces the Sun across the sky, and this October it faces it from your 6th house, Bad Fortune, lighting a workload that has grown without anyone deciding it should. In your 6th house this October, Aries makes the mood direct and impatient, more willing to begin than to wait. With the Sun across the chart in your 12th house, the October Full Moon speaks along the axis of work and rest: the duties of the day and the retreat that restores you.
One way for Scorpio to meet it in October: thank someone whose help makes your days easier.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Scorpio 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 1st house
The New Moon is exact at 13:37 UTC on Friday 29 October, at 5°54′ Scorpio, in Scorpio itself: counted by whole signs, your own sign is the 1st house, the house of the self and the body.
At a New Moon the Sun and the Moon stand together, and the old almanacs marked the turn of the month for planting; this October the planting is in your 1st house, the Hour-marker, where the tradition looks for a fresh start in how you carry yourself: a new habit of the body, a changed look, a different first word. For Scorpio this October, Scorpio, fixed water ruled by Mars in the old books, gives it an intense and private manner.
If you want something to do with this October lunation, choose one physical habit to begin, and make it small enough that you will still be doing it next month.
Planets changing sign or direction in October
Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio, your 1st house: from the Earth it seems to halt and reverse, the start of one of its 3 backward loops this year, which ends on 28 October. The turn comes on 7 October, at 4°55′ Scorpio, and Mercury retrograde in your 1st house is read as a time to revisit how you present yourself, and to review personal plans before relaunching them.
Venus enters Scorpio on 8 October, your 1st house. Until 1 November, Venus in your 1st house lends grace to how you carry yourself: a spell when charm comes easily and others warm to you more readily.
Mars crosses into Sagittarius on 15 October and so into your 2nd house. Until 25 November, with Mars in your house of possessions, the tradition reads a spell for earning by effort and for guarding against rash purchases.
Mercury, moving retrograde, slips back into Libra on 16 October, returning to your 12th house until 10 November, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in rest and retreat, and solitude is read as coming back for a second look before Mercury moves on.
Pluto turns direct in Aquarius, your 4th 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 Scorpio’s parents and private life through October.
On 23 October at 15:33 UTC the Sun crosses into Scorpio, which for Scorpio is the 1st house. Until 22 November, the Sun in your 1st house is your own season: the old books give it to vitality, and modern astrologers to the birthday month, when attention comes back to you.
Mercury stations direct in Libra, your 12th house, and begins to move forward again, closing the loop it began on 7 October. The turn comes on 28 October, at 19°18′ Libra. From 28 October the matters of your 12th house, solitude and hidden patterns among them, are read as ready to move forward again, gently at first.
Love, work and money for Scorpio in October
Venus begins October in Libra, your 12th house, and enters Scorpio, your 1st, on 8 October, turning affection toward how you present yourself to someone new, and how much of yourself you let a partner see.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Scorpio, your 1st, into Sagittarius (your 2nd) on 15 October, so the drive of the month shifts toward your earnings and the price you put on your work. The Full Moon on 15 October lands in your 6th, a house the tradition gives to work and health.
For money, Mars arrives in your 2nd on 15 October: the house of what you earn and own. The tradition would make October a time to review income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses in Sagittarius’s house, and leave the outcome to your own choices.

- Which small duty have I been resenting, and why?
