Astrological Influences, October 2020: Evolving from Within

By Crystal Pomeroy

Samhain Full Moon, 2020

In October, the year’s evolutionary themes move into the arena of relationships. October, starting and ending with two Full Moons, and permeated with the passionate vibration of Mercury in Scorpio, is bound to be an emotional month.

Then in April, not content with leaking a mysterious, creepy virus (a Pluto rulership) into the world, the dark dwarf of the solar system turned retrograde, with Saturn and Jupiter soon following suit to rub in the Plutonian agenda of deep transformation.
