October 2025: Astrology Insights for Entrepreneurs
Astrology Business Outlook
The astrology business outlook is a monthly astrological snapshot of the sky, written for entrepreneurs, creatives, and service-based business owners who care about timing, energy, and how those rhythms shape their work. The information in this blog is designed to inform decision-making, enhance productivity, and make strategic choices in your work.
October’s astrology emphasizes balance between self and others, with turning points that invite both healing and preparation for long-term growth. With retrogrades, a New Moon in Libra, and Pluto stationing direct, this month highlights the value of closure, depth work, and recalibration before new cycles begin.
Quick Navigation: Sections at a Glance
Here’s a quick overview of what’s included, so you can jump straight to the sections that interest you most.
The Moon Phases in October
The Moon’s phases create natural checkpoints for small business owners to align with the flow of time. Each stage in the lunar cycle (first quarter, full moon, last quarter, new moon) offers a chance to initiate, pause, assess progress, and reset priorities. These rhythms can be especially helpful for project timing, collaborations, and personal well-being, serving as reminders to initiate, assess, refine, and reset.
The Moon will travel out of bounds three times this month: October 1, October 10–14, and October 23–29. Out of bounds means the Moon moves beyond the Sun’s usual path in the sky, literally traveling outside the Sun’s usual orbit. Visually, it looks like the Moon is traveling at a higher arc overhead than normal.
Symbolically, this can evoke feelings or events that seem outside the usual patterns, and emotions may run stronger, instincts may be less predictable, or there may be an increased emotional intensity. On these days, emotional responses tend to be less constrained, more nonconforming, and sometimes ‘over the top.’ Feelings and reactions can spike or zig where they usually zag.
For business owners, out-of-bounds Moon days may feel like emotional weather that doesn’t follow the usual forecast. Team dynamics, client interactions, or even your own motivation can run higher or lower than expected. These days are well-suited for experimenting with ideas that stretch boundaries or exploring new ways of working outside the usual rhythm.
🌓 First Quarter Moon
October 29, 6 degrees Aquarius
The first quarter Moon in Aquarius squares the Sun in Scorpio, both fixed signs. This phase emphasizes follow-through and sticking power. Take actions that you want to last, especially in areas where structure and consistency are important.
🌕 Full Moon in Aries
October 7, 14 degrees Aries
The Full Moon in Aries signals that the new season is in motion. This lunation shines across the Aries–Libra axis, highlighting the balance between self-focus and other-focus. The Sun in Libra emphasizes fairness and connection, while the Moon in Aries pulls attention back toward personal drive and independence.
Jupiter in Cancer provides a softening influence, offering perspective on how to integrate both sides. In business, this is a time to assess whether your current path honors both your own goals and the needs of those you collaborate with. Look at where adjustments are needed so that personal aims and partnership needs can move forward together.
🌗 Last Quarter Moon
October 13, 20 degrees Cancer
The Moon in Cancer travels close to Jupiter and squares the Sun in Libra. This is a catalyst to get moving on something important. Look back to the September 21 Solar Eclipse New Moon and what you began or built upon since then.
🌑 New Moon in Libra
October 21, 28 degrees Libra
The Libra New Moon brings a reset in the late degrees of this Venus-ruled sign. With Venus also in Libra, harmony and balance color this cycle. Chiron and Jupiter connect with this lunation, signaling opportunities for personal growth, healing, and expanded perspective.
Consider where spiritual growth has been drawing your attention or whether new teachers or guides have recently entered your life. In business, this is a supportive time to invest in healing modalities, upgrade your skills with inspirational mentors and teachers, and align with collaborators who bring mutual benefits. Spending time with people who uplift you can help anchor this fresh lunar cycle.
Retrograde Cycles in October
Retrogrades mark times when planets appear to move backward in the sky, symbolizing review, reflection, and realignment. For business owners, these cycles can bring opportunities to reassess systems, revisit unfinished work, and integrate lessons before moving forward.
Mercury Pre-Shadow
Mercury does not retrograde in October, but its pre-shadow begins on October 21 at 20 degrees Scorpio. This shadow period signals the start of themes that will unfold during Mercury’s upcoming retrograde in November. Pay attention to the conversations, contracts, and decisions that emerge in late October, as they may resurface or require revision later.
Saturn Retrograde in Pisces
Saturn remains retrograde all month in Pisces. This is part of the retrograde cycle that began July 12 and continues until November 27. October’s focus is on completing Saturn’s lessons in Pisces before it returns to Aries in February. In business, this retrograde reflects a process of reworking and strengthening business foundations, letting go of outdated strategies, and preparing to build more pioneering approaches in the year ahead.
Uranus Retrograde in Gemini
Uranus continues its retrograde in Gemini, which began September 5. It will move back into Taurus in early November, revisiting unfinished business there. For now, Uranus' retrograde highlights a review of recent shifts in communication, networking, and technology. Expect breakthroughs to come after this period of recalibration.
Neptune Retrograde, Back into Pisces
Neptune has been retrograde since July 4, when it stationed at 2 degrees Aries. On October 22, Neptune retrogrades back into Pisces at 29 degrees and continues retrograde there until December 9, 2025, returning to Aries in late January 2026.
With Saturn retrograde in Pisces at the same time, October emphasizes closure and consolidation around vision, imagination, and structure.
Pluto Stations Direct
Pluto’s retrograde, which began May 4 at 3 degrees Aquarius, ends on October 13 at 1 degree Aquarius. As Pluto stations direct, its symbolic energy of big change, power dynamics, and long-term change shifts from review into forward movement. For business owners, this can mark a turning point where slow-moving undercurrents begin to solidify into a clearer direction.
Chiron Retrograde in Aries
Chiron remains retrograde throughout the month in Aries, part of a cycle that began on July 30 and will continue until January 2, 2026. Chiron's retrograde motion invites a review of personal and professional wounds related to identity, leadership, and independence. This is an ongoing process of finding strength through vulnerability and learning how your own growth informs your approach to guiding others.
The Seven Personal Planets: October 2025

By watching how these planets move and connect each month, you can align decisions and actions with the astrological planets in your business and personal growth.

☀️ The Sun in Libra and Scorpio
The Sun begins October at 8 degrees Libra, carrying forward the themes of socializing, fairness, and harmony in relationships that began last month. Libra season highlights the importance of collaboration, harmony, and diplomacy in both business and personal life.
On October 17, the Sun at 24 degrees Libra forms a square to Jupiter at 24 degrees Cancer. Both are powerhouse planets, and this aspect highlights questions of fairness, diplomacy, and traditional values. These days may bring debates around what is best for relationships, both personally and collectively.
On October 18, the Sun at 24 degrees Libra opposes Chiron at 24 degrees Aries. This aspect brings awareness to wounds that need recognition before healing can happen. It may surface memories or feelings that encourage you to invest in self-healing or seek out supportive modalities that help you and those you serve move forward.
On October 23, the Sun enters Scorpio at 0 degrees, marking the beginning of Scorpio season. This sign change deepens the solar focus, pointing attention toward trust, loyalty, and the unseen layers of your work.
On October 24, the Sun at 1 degree Scorpio squares Pluto at 1 degree Aquarius. This can activate past hurts or power dynamics, but it also provides an opening for regeneration, healing, and change. Allow the vitality of the Sun’s rays to illuminate what feels heavy. Reclaim your spark and inner strength.
The Sun closes October at 8 degrees Scorpio. After beginning the month expressing through the sign of Libra with its focus on balance and fairness, its move into Scorpio highlights resilience, trust, and depth work. Together, these passages reflect the month’s arc: finding harmony in relationships and then digging deeper to address the truths that sustain lasting growth.
☿ Mercury in Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius
Mercury represents how information is gathered, processed, and exchanged. In business, Mercury reflects the way we think, plan, write, speak, learn, and stay connected. It governs client conversations, marketing messages, contracts, scheduling, technology, and decision-making. Mercury also relates to commerce and the daily exchange of ideas that keeps business moving forward.
Mercury moves quickly this month, traveling through three signs. It begins October in Libra, shifts into Scorpio on October 6, and enters Sagittarius on October 29. Mercury also enters its pre-retrograde shadow on October 21 at 20 degrees Scorpio, setting up themes for the November retrograde cycle. Mercury goes out of bounds from October 31 through November 11, a period that can bring unconventional thinking and unusual or over-the-top ideas.
The month begins with Mercury in Libra, emphasizing diplomacy and relationship-driven communication. On October 1, Mercury at 22 degrees Libra squares Jupiter at 22 degrees Cancer. This can spark big ideas, but the challenge lies in striking a balance between fairness and tradition. On October 3, Mercury opposes Chiron at 25 degrees of Aries, highlighting lessons related to communication and healing. These are useful days for talk therapy, journaling, or other voice-based practices.
On October 6, Mercury enters Scorpio, bringing more intensity and focus to thought and dialogue. The shift is immediate: on October 7, Mercury squares Pluto at 1 degree Aquarius. This can take thinking to extremes, from insightful and soulful to dark or ruminating. Guard against harsh self-talk and use this time to draw strength from inner guidance.
Mid-month, Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio on October 20 at 19 degrees, a strong day for research, writing, and strategy. This alignment supports deep dives and the creation of content or plans with staying power. The following day, October 21, Mercury reaches 20 degrees Scorpio and enters its pre-retrograde shadow. From this point forward, conversations, contracts, or decisions may return for revision during Mercury’s retrograde cycle in November.
Mercury trines Jupiter in Cancer on October 24, favoring creative projects and goal setting. It trines Saturn retrograde in Pisces on October 25, grounding ideas into structure, and trines Neptune retrograde in Pisces on October 29, indicating enchanting communication but also introducing mixed signals and possibly deception. Be discerning about which ideas to move forward with.
Also on October 29, Mercury enters Sagittarius and immediately opposes Uranus retrograde at 0 degrees Gemini. Expect surprises, breakthroughs, or unconventional ideas that disrupt the status quo. The next day, October 30, Mercury sextiles Pluto at 1 degree Aquarius, highlighting the power of transformative ideas and deep research.
Since Mercury moves out of bounds the following day, conversations or insights related to this aspect may already feel unusual or outside the norm, amplifying the sense of a breakthrough or breaking new ground as it pertains to communication, learning, and messaging.
Mercury ends October at 2 degrees Sagittarius, with a wider, future-focused lens. The arc of the month begins with diplomacy and fairness in Libra, intensifies with depth and strategy in Scorpio, and closes with the expansive vision of Sagittarius.
♀ Venus in Virgo and Libra
In business, Venus acts like the Director of Human Resources and Public Relations. It reflects how we interact with others, how we manage interpersonal exchanges, and how shared values influence collaboration and loyalty. Venus highlights relationship dynamics, likability, social ease, and the tone of client or team interactions.
Each month, Venus points to where connection and cooperation come more naturally. Whether you are building partnerships, strengthening relationships behind the scenes, or navigating client communication, Venus reflects the quality of human dynamics that support your work.
Venus begins October in Virgo, where the focus is on quality, mutually beneficial partnerships, and efficiency with collaborative and client work. This is an ideal time for decluttering your workspace, streamlining systems, or offering client services that showcase high standards. On October 8, Venus at 23 degrees Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer, opening a few days of opportunity and luck in collaborations. This is a great moment to reach out to colleagues, strengthen alliances, or say yes to invitations that could expand your network.
On October 11, Venus at 26 degrees Virgo opposes Saturn retrograde in Pisces. Relationship dynamics may test boundaries around this time. It’s an opportunity to clarify expectations, establish healthy limits, and recognize where structure supports connection rather than restricts it.
Venus enters Libra, one of her home signs, on October 13. This shift brings warmth, charm, and balance into interactions. Libra emphasizes harmony, making this a favorable period to foster collaboration, beautify your workspace, or strengthen client rapport. Venus’s entrance into Libra is striking because it coincides with a cluster of powerful aspects to the outer planets, aligning individual relationships with the collective shifts already underway.
On October 14, Venus opposes Neptune retrograde at 0 degrees Aries and trines Uranus retrograde at 0 degrees Gemini. This mix can feel like wearing rose-colored glasses while being swept up in surprise encounters or new opportunities. Inspiration and attraction may come suddenly, but give time for perspective to emerge before making big commitments.
On October 15, Venus at 1 degree Libra trines Pluto stationing direct at 1 degree Aquarius. This alignment connects personal relationships to larger collective changes. You may notice themes of shifting alliances, evolving values, or deeper truths about who you trust and why. It’s a powerful reminder that changes in the world around us ripple into the way we relate to one another.
By the end of October, Venus travels to 22 degrees Libra, amplifying diplomacy, fairness, and harmony in personal and professional exchanges. This month’s Venus story begins with refinement in Virgo and moves into Libra’s focus on balance, beauty, and connection, showing how attention to detail early in the month creates space for smoother collaboration later.
♂ Mars in Scorpio
In business, Mars acts like the Director of Getting Stuff Done. It reflects how we initiate action, pursue goals, manage obstacles, and handle conflict or competition.
Mars spends the entire month in Scorpio, one of its home signs. Here, Mars works with intensity, focus, and determination. Rather than spreading energy thin, Scorpio channels it into concentrated efforts and projects that require persistence. This is a favorable month for tackling large tasks, diving into research, or making progress on initiatives that benefit from sustained attention.
On October 20, Mars at 19 degrees Scorpio conjoins Mercury at 19 degrees Scorpio. This alignment combines action and thought, making it an excellent day for writing, research, or producing content with depth. Capture ideas and strategies, as insights uncovered now can carry staying power.
On October 28, Mars at 24 degrees Scorpio trines Jupiter at 24 degrees Cancer. This is a supportive, expansive aspect that infuses momentum into big goals and visions. It’s an ideal time to push forward with growth-oriented projects, business development, or initiatives that need both effort and optimism.
On October 29, Mars at 25 degrees Scorpio trines Saturn retrograde at 25 degrees Pisces. This adds grounding and practicality to Mars’s drive, helping to produce ideas that are realistic and actionable. The energy around this date favors turning ambitious goals into structured plans.
Mars closes the month at 27 degrees Scorpio, reinforcing the theme of depth work and long-term focus. October’s Mars cycle supports steady progress on important projects, rewarding persistence and discipline over quick wins.
♃ Jupiter
In business, Jupiter acts like the Director of Vision and Growth. It reflects how you pursue opportunities, expand your reach, and develop a broader perspective on success. Jupiter shows where growth is fertile, stepping into a new version of what’s possible.
Jupiter continues its year-long journey through Cancer, where growth is nurtured through emotional intelligence, strong values, and the creation of a supportive base for your work. In business, this means expansion tied to trust, loyalty, and relationships that feel anchored and sustainable.
The month opens with Mercury in Libra squaring Jupiter at 22 degrees Cancer on October 1. This alignment highlights differences between fairness and tradition. It can spark big-picture thinking, but may also surface tensions about how much weight to give to diplomacy versus traditional pathways. Use these days to examine your messaging and how you strike a balance between innovation and what feels secure.
On October 8, Venus at 23 degrees Virgo sextiles Jupiter. This supportive connection brings opportunity and a sense of ease in collaborations. It’s a favorable time to reach out, network, or strengthen partnerships.
On October 17, the Sun squares Jupiter at 24 degrees Cancer. Both are strong forces, and together they bring questions of fairness, diplomacy, and shared values to the forefront. This may show up in business negotiations or discussions about what is best for teams and partnerships.
On October 24, Jupiter squares Chiron at 24 degrees Aries and, on the same day, receives a trine from Mercury at 24 degrees Scorpio. The square to Chiron acts as a catalyst for growth through healing, whether in personal development or professional aspirations. The trine from Mercury adds inspiration for creating, writing, or sharing your ideas.
On October 28, Mars in Scorpio trines Jupiter at 24 degrees Cancer. This adds momentum and energy to growth-oriented projects. It’s an excellent time to move forward with development plans, business expansion, or scaling up toward your long-term vision.
By the end of October, Jupiter stands at 24 degrees Cancer, reminding us that growth this year is about building security through trust. The alignments this month encourage both healing and expansion, showing how revisiting personal or professional lessons can fuel the next stage of development.
♄ Saturn in Pisces (Retrograde)
In business astrology, Saturn functions like the Director of Structure and Long-Term Planning. It reflects where systems need to be fortified, responsibilities defined, and consistent effort applied. Saturn themes are about consolidation, boundaries, limitations, and the finite matters of time.
Saturn is retrograde all month in Pisces, continuing the cycle that began on July 12. This is the final stretch of Saturn’s two-and-a-half-year transit in Pisces before it stations direct on November 27 and reenters Aries in February 2026. October emphasizes closure: revisiting unfinished work, releasing what no longer holds, and distilling the lessons of this cycle before building anew in Aries.
Neptune retrogrades back into Pisces on October 22, joining Saturn in the same sign. Together, they highlight the tension between vision and reality, asking business owners to test ideals against practical structures. This pairing encourages clarity about what can be made tangible and what belongs to imagination.
Three key alignments mark the month. On October 11, Venus at 26 degrees Virgo opposes Saturn, spotlighting boundaries in relationships and partnerships. This is a useful time to check whether expectations are balanced and fair.
On October 25, Mercury at 26 degrees Scorpio trines Saturn, helping translate big ideas into realistic goals and structured plans. On October 29, Mars at 25 degrees Scorpio trines Saturn, reinforcing this grounding theme and ensuring that motivation is paired with follow-through. These aspects help counterbalance Neptune’s influence of blurring boundaries and idealizing possibilities, steering ambitious ideas toward workable strategies.
Saturn closes the month at 25 degrees Pisces, reminding us that systems and structures built now should focus on coherence and completion. October’s retrograde phase underscores the importance of wrapping up unfinished business, solidifying foundations, and preparing for a new cycle of pioneering growth once Saturn returns to Aries in 2026.
