Astrology
October 2022 is notable for a fairly large number of astroevents, so it promises to be a busy month, although not everything is worth planning for.
As many as 4 planets will be static during this period. Mercury will be released from the retro movement at the beginning of the month, and Mars will be retrograde on October 30, 2022. Saturn and Pluto are coming out of retrograde, so the whole month will be very slow.
Such a large accumulation of statics often indicates that this will be a period of stopping and thinking about some important things. The movement is suspended, so the development of events may slow down during this period.

Mercury will be out of static on October 5, 2022, after which you will be more likely to do new things related to the fast planet. In the first third of the month, Mercury will still continue to follow the Virgo sign, which is a time for clear and specific information, dry facts and calculations. During this period, it will be easier to obtain various reports, calculations, accounting transactions, statistical data processing, etc.
When Mercury becomes Libra (October 11-29, 2022), these will be weeks of sincere communication and contact, when new acquaintances will be made much faster and people will reach out more to easy and interesting communication.
The Mercury period in Libra is often marked by the opening of various cultural events (exhibitions, galleries, theaters) that will be eagerly visited and where many will make useful contacts and connections. Add to this Venus and the Sun, which will also be in Libra.

New Moon in Libra September 26, 2022 at 00:54
The new moon in Libra, which will take place on September 26, 2022 at 00:55am, will open the “weight month” October. Now you will have the opportunity to reflect on your relationships with others, including partners.
Mercury will still be retrograde this new moon and will hint to you that it would be a good idea to review your previous connections and relationships, or to raise important questions that you worried in the past.
On the day of the new moon, it will be nice to dream and imagine in detail the desired relationships and desired partners. If you're single, you might think about how you'd like to see a future relationship. If you are already in a relationship — how to improve it. This can be not only about relationships with partners, but also relationships with any other people in your life.
The new moon this time will be almost in exact opposition to Jupiter. This means that your expectations may be too high right now. This new moon can teach you how to get rid of those expectations and not to label them.
Now it is important not to idealize partners and not to fall into dependencies. Addiction often shows up in such a way that you only see your well-being when you're in a relationship. That is, if your partner is near you, you are happy, and without him you suffer.
Relationship addiction doesn't bring happiness, even if it doesn't seem to you. Sooner or later, disappointment occurs when expectations are no longer met.
This new moon hints you to learn how to get rid of any relationship addictions, listen to your partner, talk to them, but not think for them about things that don't really exist or aren't require a presence in your life every minute.
It's also not a good time to make promises or believe them.
Near this new moon and throughout the lunar month, new people and new relationships may appear in your life. This is a good time for socializing, attending cultural events, and practicing various types of art.
Full moon in Aries October 9, 2022 at 11:55pm
The full moon in Aries, which will take place on October 9, 2022,
opens us 2 weeks of the Waning Moon, when you will have the opportunity to find a balance between personal needs and desires and needs your partners.
The moon in Aries often gives us impulsiveness, sharpness, and excessive activity, but the aspects to the full moon point are extremely positive, and the big Trin, into which the Sun falls, hints that the energy of this full moon won't be intense.
On a full moon, it's good to see the culmination of your actions and decisions you've made in the previous two weeks of the rising moon. Now it's good to take stock of what you've achieved, and when the moon begins to wane, you will be completing a certain stage.
On this full moon, it's good to think about how fast you were moving towards your goals, whether you should slow down, or vice versa: increase your speed. It's important not to act on momentum right now, but if you've had an important idea in mind for a long time, you may now have more determination to take action.
The sun in Libra
tells you that you need to work on your partnerships, now you can solve some issues that have been worrying you for a long time. It may be necessary to make an important and responsible decision in the near future.
Static planets in October 2022
In October 2022, as I mentioned above, as many as 4 planets will be static at different times of the month. Although the static periods of slow planets are not particularly felt in everyday life, the static nature of fast planets, in this case Mercury and Mars, can greatly influence the development of various issues everyday life.
Static Mercury: September 30 — October 4, 2022
During this period, Mercury is turning from retrograde to straight line movement and will be frozen for several days. These days, all processes can especially stop. People may be more slow and make more mistakes, it will be more difficult to receive and transmit information, etc. Static days are especially bad for important undertakings, especially if they are related to Mercury themes (negotiations, transport, trade, important texts).
Static Mars: October 28 — November 2, 2022.
Mars will become retrograde on October 30, 2022 and will be static near this date. Since this planet is responsible for movement and activity, things can be especially hampered during its static period. These are bad days for decisive and quick action, as they may not produce the desired result. Be patient while Mars starts moving, and then do something about it.
We will continue to talk in detail about the retrograde nature of Mars in autumn and winter 2022-2023.
Static Saturn: October 19-27, 2022.
Saturn is associated with social processes, hierarchy, discipline, so when it is static, you should not start anything serious that may affect your reputation or in some way influence your further development as a professional.
A static Saturn is not suitable for moving to a new serious job (if you want to advance and grow your career) and take on a higher position. These are also bad days for starting new serious projects that should be long-term, including construction work. It is not recommended to start what should have great prospects now, as serious obstacles may arise in the work.
Static Pluto: October 4-13, 2022.
Pluto is associated with finance and global and mass processes, so during its static period, we do not recommend making serious decisions related to money, especially when it comes to large ones loans, insurance, child support, inheritance.
This time is not suitable for risky financial enterprises, serious investments, opening financial funds, etc. That is, all very serious and responsible matters in which a lot of people are involved people, it is better to postpone Pluto during the static period. But when it comes to debts, this is a good time to pay them off!
Private solar eclipse on October 25, 2022 at 1:48pm
On October 25, another eclipse corridor
begins, which will end with a lunar eclipse on November 8, 2022. This is the second of two seasons of this year's eclipses on the Taurus-Scorpio financial axis.
An eclipse at the South Node usually raises issues that aren't just about you personally, involves other people, or you can work together to solve your problems. Some hitherto hidden things can be revealed, especially when it comes to financial issues, because the eclipse will take place in the sign of Scorpio.
This eclipse can bring various financial events with a plus or minus sign. This is a time to rethink and change matters related to general finances, inheritance issues, or the topic of loans and debts.
We'll talk more about this eclipse in the second half of October 2022, right next to this event.
Business and resource topics: slowdowns and trade-offs
So, October 2022
is a time of slowdown and review, so this month is not very good for serious business undertakings and new projects, especially the second half of it. Now we should not risk big finances, but rather close debts and pay off loans, if possible.
By the end of the month, business activity may slow down sharply: it is better to postpone some questions at least until Mars comes out of a static state (after November 2, 2022).
Since Mars will be retrograde for quite a long time — from October 30, 2022 to January 12, 2023, you will most likely not be able to stop
all processes for 3 months. Therefore, we recommend that you just be patient and plan your activities and actions taking into account the retrograde nature of Mars.
If you have serious ideas, especially those related to large and long-term projects, construction, large investments, etc., then they should not be planned for October 2022.
This month Mars will be doing several aspects that need attention:
1.
Mars square Neptune: October 12, 2022. In fact, this transit will be affected from October 8 to 15, 2022, due to the planet's very slow speed. This transit can bring all kinds of troubles and misunderstandings, the activation of fraudsters, and may reveal lack of professionalism and deceptions.
Be more careful with things these days, check others' work, and don't trust unfamiliar and untested partners. These days are not very energetic. It is clear that it is dangerous to start some important business projects during this period. It will be difficult to conduct business negotiations and come to compromises. Your expectations may be deceived, so don't expect miracles.
2.
Mars trine Sun: October 18, 2022. This is a favorable transit that will be formed almost immediately after the busy transit, which gives hope that the difficulties will be successfully resolved. There may be more enthusiasm and energy, and a resource will be collected.
3.
Mars trine Mercury: October 27, 2022. Just before the turn, Mars will be making a harmonious aspect with Mercury. Despite the static nature of the planet, intellectual activity will increase at this time and a lot of information will come from everywhere. You may have good plans for how to build your business in the next 3 months of Mars retrograde, what to look out for, what to go back to, and what to redo.
As for financial topics, as mentioned earlier, the static nature of Pluto can slow down and delay solving very serious financial issues. This is not a good time for large investments or loans.
Venus, a finance-related planet, will follow Libra most of the time this month (September 29 to October 23, 2022). This sign is a sign of Venus's strength, in which it gains energy. During this transit period, people are more willing to conclude contracts and make compromises. Money is spent easily and without regrets, especially on things that are aesthetically pleasing.
If you organize exhibitions, offer handicrafts or art items, sell flowers and beautiful things, offer beauty services, during this period you may have more customers and customers than usual.
On October 23, 2022, Venus will pass as a sign of its exile — Scorpio, so you should be careful about any financial risks at this time. With Venus, there may be extremes in Scorpio, especially when it comes to spending, but it's also a good time to reconsider your relationship with money and get rid of restrictive beliefs.
Love and relationships: new hobbies and interesting acquaintances
This month's love life promises to be enjoyable and enjoyable. Venus has entered the sign of Libra, which means that we will all strive more for aesthetics, beauty, and romantic acquaintances. Virgo's time is over, and relaxation, lightness, and the ability to enjoy communicating with the opposite sex come to her place.
Venus in Libra
is good for establishing contacts, dating, communicating with partners, sorting things out and finding compromises. You can make peace after a fight, or you can make the right decision about your relationship together.
Venus will be doing intense aspects with Jupiter (October 1) and Pluto
(October 20, 2022). It is better not to address serious partnership issues near these aspects. In general, the rest of the time, luck will be on your side if you take relationship issues seriously and are ready for dialogue.
Take advantage of the moment Venus is in Libra, spend time in a pleasant company, chat, meet and make contacts. This time is usually only about a month a year and will bring you many pleasant moments.
After October 23, 2022,
Venus falls under the rule of Scorpio, a sign of extremes and passion, so lightness and ease can be replaced by strong feelings, passions and anxiety.
Travel and travel: when is the best time to go?
Mercury and Mars will be static this month, so the beginning and end of October 2022 is not the best time to travel, as the road can face various difficulties, obstacles, delays and other troubles.
Overall, this month is not a very good month for traveling, although there will be more or less successful days when risks are reduced. See the table for better days to start traveling. If you have a choice, avoid starting trips on unfavorable departure days.

Complex periods of the month
This month, there will be several busy transits that you should pay attention to:
1.
Mars square Neptune (October 12, 2022).
This transit could be affected for almost a week because Mars is slowing down to turn into retro motion by the end of the month. Various misunderstandings and mistakes may emerge near this aspect, and everything secret may well become clear. If you should be afraid of fraud and deception, Neptune can sometimes seriously muddy the water. These days it will be difficult to focus and achieve goals, and expectations may not be justified.
Neptune is associated with water, liquids, oil, chemistry, and Mars is associated with fire and explosions, so near this transit, various problems, disasters and cataclysms that combine the symbolism of both planets. A similar transit took place in January 2022.
2.
Sun-Pluto Square (October 19, 2022).
The aspect is related to tension and overload, and near it, on October 17, the Moon will complete a tense configuration, so these days are emotionally difficult. Any experiments and risky actions near this transit are not a good idea.
3.
Mercury-Jupiter opposition (October 12, 2022).
This transit was already formed during the Mercury Loop in September, and will now be its final stage. This transit can give illusions and excessive optimism, absent-mindedness, forgetfulness, vain promises and unnecessary fuss. The important thing now is not to believe promises or to build expectations. There may be many goals that will not be realised. People may not understand each other at all and speak different languages.
What is good and bad to do in October 2022?
It is recommended (avoiding stressful periods):
Go back to things related to Mercurian themes
Prepare reports, calculations, calculate budgets and process data
Meet, communicate, start new relationships, accumulate useful connections
Attend cultural events
To engage in research work
Pay off debts, close loans
It is not recommended (mostly on unfavorable days):
Act impulsively without thinking through details and spare moves
Start important long-term projects and construction (especially after October 19, 2022)
Enter into long-term financial obligations, especially serious ones
Risk your finances on a big scale
Open large companies
Personal predictions provide more valuable information that you can use to achieve what you want, relieve anxiety about the future, and choose the right time for an important thing. After the consultation, you have an idea of how to overcome crises and benefit from them.
