When I tell you the planets are busy, they are BUSY! October has been cutting up with all the moon cycles, retrograde planets, and conjunctions happening within 31 days. There are so many good and not so great things that will happen with all of this going on and I will break them down for you as well as give some tips on what to do and affirmations to focus on during each period. Fasten your seatbelts; the universe is taking us for a ride – but I got you!
Warning: This is going to be a long read so brace yourself (or just scroll through to the sections that resonate with you).
New Moon in Libra – October 16, 2020
Let’s start here since this is today: The New Moon in Libra will bring out some SERIOUS creative energy. Have you noticed yourself being a little more energized today? Creative juices flowing? Just being a little more free and go with the flow? You can thank this upcoming moon in Libra for that. This Libra energy is great for some deep manifestations – which new moons are known for. Libra is all about balance and love and the sun and moon both are in Libra right now so the feeling of peace and harmony is very strong. For this new moon, let’s manifest some self love, balance, and abundance. Trust me, we will need it and I will explain why when we get to these other planets going haywire and what they mean.
New Moon in Libra Affirmations
- I am powerful and divinely protected. The love I have for myself supercedes my love for others.
- What is meant for me always finds me. I only accept energies that are for my greater good.
- I receive infinite abundance daily.
Write these down and use them whenever you feel led to – but especially this weekend. The last one is my favorite and has truly brought me abundance daily when scripted (55×5 method).

Neptune, Chiron, Uranus, Mars, and Mecury are all in Retrograde RIGHT NOW
Man, man, man…where do I start? Let’s start with what has changed recently because most of these planets have been in retrograde before October so none of the energy is new; but it could be affecting other energies that are just entering the spectrum. Let’s get into it. This is the last retrograde of the year (to start) and it will visit 2 signs while in retrograde (Scorpio and Libra). Mercury is the planet that rules communication and the planet Gemini so the following signs can expect to be affected the most – Gemini, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio. From October 13-26, it will be in the sign of Scorpio and will challenge us to heal from deep within. Try to do some shadow work and clean up any old messes from the past so you can return fresh and new (look for the black rooster). From October 27-November 3, it will be in Libra which is great for open communication, repairing relationships of all kinds, and balancing your work and home life. Again, Mercury rules communication so in Scorpio, speak within, and in Libra, speak out. Mars rules the sign Aries and is in Aries the ENTIRE time it is in retrograde so you know what that means…Mercury Retrograde: October 13 – November 3, 2020
Mars Retrograde: September 9 – November 13, 2020
This was so good and informative as always. I’ll def keep my guard up.
