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.
