October, 2021 Vedic Astrology Planet Transits

October – a month of Transformation. Blockages will be lifting, step by step, and much progress can be experienced after the 18th. It’s a real bada bing badda bam bada boom month of improvement as Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury each get out of Retrograde on 10/10, 10/17 and 10/18, respectively. Saturn and Jupiter have been Retrograde for quite some time, so there should be a collective sigh of relief soon.

10/01 – Mercury retrogrades back into Virgo, its own sign. So that part is good, the problem is just the tendency for this Retrograde motion to cause mix ups, misunderstandings and meltdowns when it comes to communications and various equipment related to same. All we can do is keep trying “Not to take it personally.” At least this sign represents good houses for both signs ruled by Mercury, Gemini and Virgo.

10/01 VENUS enters Scorpio. This is a beneficial placement for those with Scorpio Rising and Moon signs, for it brings partnership, foreign travel possibilities and positive spiritual experiences. For Libras, ruled by Venus, this transit is helpful for finances and closeness to family members. For Taureans, also ruled by Venus, This placement enlivens their relationship connects and may bring travel, and is good for business.

10/03 – Mercury begins traveling too close to the Sun for comfort. This state is called being Combust the Sun, so some of Mercury’s qualities can be harmed…this includes communication, tactfulness and diplomacy, so let’s all think before we speak! This combustion period lasts until 10/15.

10/10 – SATURN GOES DIRECT! It will still remain in Capricorn, its own sign, where it is strong, until 4/28/22 – well, it IS our slowest moving planet! This placement continues to be of value to those with Capricorn Ascendants or Moon signs, in a number of ways, including financially. Things will be much better, now that its begins to move forward. The other sign ruled by Saturn, is Aquarius. They will still be dealing with losses, expenses and some feelings of isolation, as this placement is their 12th house.

10/17 – The SUN enters Libra, sign of peace, harmony and balance. This is beneficial for those with Libra Rising or Moon signs, as it brings income and gain to them, ruling their 11th house. For Leos, ruled by the Sun, this is their 3rd house of energy, vitality and projects. They will have many areas of interest and become more focused on accomplishments they can achieve on their own.

10/17 – JUPITER GOES DIRECT! It will remain in Capricorn where it had recently retrograded back into, until 11/20 when it again moves forward into Aquarius. Those with either Sagittarius or Pisces Rising Signs or Moon signs will enjoy a newfound sense of progress, unimpeded now with many of the recent obstacles. Both should experience a greater flow in their finances.

10/18 – MERCURY GOES DIRECT! All those with Gemini or Virgo Rising or Moon signs will feel much better now, as the ruler of their charts feels more progress and a removal of obstacles and delays. Communication across the board for everyone, should improve now.

10/21 – MARS enters Libra. Mars rules both Aries and Scorpio. Those with Aries Rising or Moon signs will have better relationship progress, including with business partners. Travel is possible for them now, as well. Scorpios may have to contend with some losses and expenses now, and a tendency to withdraw and crave more solitude, or the converse, feel more isolated than they want to be.

10/30 – VENUS enters Sagittarius, bringing affection, creativity, gain and income, but also some stress as it rules their 6th as well as their 11th house. Librans now are now more drawn to the arts, music or creative projects; those with Taurus Rising or Moon signs will go through some changes and perhaps feel vulnerable (but still sexy!) as this placement represents their 8th house of Transformation and Vulnerability. They may have heightened intuitive awareness now.
