Just a few days into a new month, and it’s clear that October is nothing like September.
In the first week of October, Mercury turned Retrograde in Virgo while the asteroid Vesta turned Direct in Aquarius.
Pluto in Capricorn will join them later this week, changing the entire energy landscape.
Today, while the Moon is in dreamy and sensitive Pisces, Mercury in Virgo will become a beneficial alliance with Pluto in Capricorn, clearing the way for important conversations.
Mercury rules the mind, which includes thoughts, how you communicate, and even what you say.
In Virgo, Mercury deals with the details of what will be and bringing healing to what was.
Often in life and especially in love, the details about relationships and situations are the most uncomfortable.
The parts of life that are honest and real may not feel as beautiful or romantic, but they are necessary to create the next chapter of your life.
So as Mercury first entered fussy Virgo on August 4 before shifting into Libra during its retrograde, we can expect the themes of our conversations that began in early August to resurface for greater clarity and resolution.
With Vesta directly helping you become your inner essence and Pluto soon also bringing nothing but the whole truth, today is an opportunity to start having those important conversations about what has been going on in your life.
Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus are still at the height of their journey together, bringing up issues of restriction versus freedom and helping you unravel the threads that have kept you tied to people and places you have already outgrown.
October is a continuous change that will continue to unfold as the month progresses.
However, today and tomorrow is your opportunity to express the truth that you now see in your life and in your relationship.
Just before a planet turns retrograde or direct, it is at its most powerful, which means these next few days before Pluto turns direct it is an excellent time to start mentioning those things that you have been reflecting on internally or keeping to yourself, without fear.
Nothing really gets accomplished or changes without those awkward conversations to start things moving in the right direction.
After such an intense retrograde month in September, it is normal for you to question yourself or your truth. However, you must realize that everything you are feeling is real and that this is the moment that everything has been leading you to.
Truth-based conversations create the scaffolding of what will be by destroying what never was, and it’s time to seize this opportunity and recognize that if you don’t speak up, nothing will ever change.
The three zodiac signs with the best horoscopes for Thursday, October 6, 2022:
1. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Mercury in your zodiac sign has taken you on a deep dive within yourself. It is easy to feel that you have lost yourself in different moments of life. Failing to see your authenticity within the wants and needs of those around you. But knowing yourself and being able to make decisions and choices based on that is what it means to be truly and completely yourself.
After all the reflection you’ve been going through, it’s time to start speaking up and standing up for yourself again. Today is an opportunity to instill boundaries and have conversations that stand up for your truth. It doesn’t matter if someone else likes it. It only matters how you really feel.
2. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Mercury in Virgo sparks conversations related to love and commitment. For you, something important happened at the beginning of August. As monumental as it felt in her life and his relationships, and probably even caused her to mourn with a broken heart, it wasn’t the final chapter in the love story he’s been writing.
You and your partner probably needed the gifts of reflection that retrograde brought, and now that Mercury is direct and uniting with Pluto in Capricorn, it’s time for the two of you to talk about all the things that matter most. There will be a lot of practical aspects to this conversation, but take heart because there will also be a lot of romantic moments.
3. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Pluto in your zodiac sign has been helping you discover the truth so that you can live more authentically. As such a pragmatic earth sign, achieving success is your number one priority; however, you can often continue on a path out of stubbornness long after you have outgrown want and need.
Today gives you the opportunity to realize that something you have been working for is no longer what you want or think you will finally be able to achieve. As this truth sets in, allow yourself to change your plans and ideas about how you have envisioned your life.
Conversations, uncomfortable as they may seem, offer the healing serum you need. Redirecting yourself, and your path to what you have realized is the most important thing.
