The fourth week of October seems very eventful. Mercury is going to make three aspects, there is one ingress, and the new moon. Let’s check the schedule of this week, aspect by aspect.
20 X 2025
Mercury – Mars conjunction
The week begins with Mercury – Mars conjunction in the 20th degree of Scorpio. For those with key horoscopic elements in Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, and Taurus, this may be a day with a mood of communication with tensions and an undercurrent of suspicion and a tendency toward conflict. For those who have emphasised Cancer and Pisces in their natal charts, the conjunction may foster thorough analysis, assertive communication, and reading between the lines. Owners of natal charts with prominent signs of Virgo or Capricorn can also take advantage of this aspect. Except that it will not be the best day for rituals related to mercurial principles as well as Virgo and Gemini, at least in the morning.

New Moon in Libra
The New Moon in Libra will be a time of new beginnings, so one may hope for military conflict finally coming to an end. People with prominent Sagittarius, Aquarius, Leo, and Gemini in natal charts, especially the last degrees of these signs, may hope for new connections, especially romantic ones. Capricorn, Cancer and Aries may experience instability in relationships as well as in feelings and declarations, and overall indecisiveness. Since the new moon is when the moon begins her wanning phase, the next two weeks won’t be favourable for rituals in general as long as there are no other positive factors balancing it.

Neptune returns to Pisces
On Wednesday, Neptune comes back to Pisces, where he is going to stay until January 2026. This will be the last return of this planet to Pisces before it stay in Aries for the next 13 years. The last transit of Neptune in Pisces will give us a chance to say farewell to old, unfulfilled dreams to make space for new ones that Neptune in Aries will help us realise.

Sun enters Scorpio
With the Sun’s ingress into Scorpio, days are getting shorter and nights longer, announcing the coming winter. Sun in Scorpio is ruled by Mars who, together with Mercury, is also in Scorpio, which sets the scorpionic mood for a while.
24 X 2025
Sun – Pluto square
The next day after entering Scorpio, the Sun makes a square to Pluto – ruler of Scorpio in contemporary astrology – causing undercurrent tensions and toxic rivalry. Taurus and Leos may feel especially affected. It won’t be a good day for rituals related to Sun and Leo principles.
Mercury – Jupiter trine
Luckily, soon after the Sun – Pluto square, Mercury trine Jupiter giving a chance for a good day, fostering creative thinking and making new plans but also deeper thoughts. Perfect time for rituals related to Mercury, Virgo, and Gemini principles.
25 X 2025
Mercury – Saturn trine
Saturday will be marked by Mercury – Saturn trine. It will favour clear, logical thinking, constructive criticism. All enthusiastic ideas and plans made the day before, can be verified that day and put into practice if achievable.
And that would be it. Have a splendid week ahead.
