Pluto’s powerful influence has been sparking massive change within you since 2008, when it started cruising through your sign. On October 3, when Pluto concludes its retrograde, these shifts become increasingly apparent. Note which areas of life are experiencing upheaval and remember that everything (literally, everything) is connected. Changes in one domain will directly impact another, so don’t be surprised if the next several months ignite unprecedented growth.

On October 13, a Full Moon in Aries occurs as the Sun and Moon meet in direct opposition. Under this vivid sky, you’re inspired to find your anchor. Blood runs thicker than water, but your chosen family can truly support your soul. In order to achieve the success you crave (and, quite frankly, demand), it’s essential that you create tight alignments with people who truly celebrate your spirit. So lean into those friendships, Capricorn. It’s okay to let your guard down just a teensy bit.

Scorpio season kicks off on October 23 as the Sun drifts into this mysterious water sign. For you, Scorpio energy prompts you to think globally. I know it can feel hard to give back when you haven’t even reached your own goals, but over the next few weeks, remember that acts of kindness can generate rewards. Sure, it’s good karma—but it’s also simple math. The more you do for others, the more others will be willing to do for you, and there’s nothing wrong with practicing reciprocity!

An excellent time to put this plan into practice is on October 27, during the New Moon in Scorpio. Under this dark sky, consider different ways you can put your skills to good use and connect with those who share your values. Committing to something larger than yourself will feel invigorating, breathing new life into your daily grind. This fresh perspective will truly lift your spirits, so don’t be afraid to expand your horizons.

But you may want to look before you leap, Capricorn babe. On Halloween, Mercury plays the ultimate trick: The planet of communication is going retrograde yet again! Welcome to three weeks of miscommunications, traffic delays, and technology meltdowns. Use this time to reflect rather than act. If anything, Mercury retrograde is a great practice in patience…and practice makes perfect!
