Astrology and Tarot for October 2021

In this episode, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for October, beginning with a reminder that Mercury Retrograde continues until October 18. They then discuss the Libra New Moon and why this could be an explosive time as it joins assertive action-oriented Mars, potentially triggering issues around relationships, truth, and social justice. They then talk about how four planets (Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury) end their retrograde cycles this month, which should have us connecting to a sense of forward motion. They note how the Aries Full Moon occurs around the same time as the Mars/Pluto Square, which could bring up issues related to power and control that may play themselves in our partnerships. Megan draws a tarot card for the month at random--the Eight of Swords--representing intellectual chaos and overthinking, and talks about how to best work with mental stress in a conscious and transformative way.
