Announcement with this episode 🦋 I'll now be creating monthly forecasts in place of weekly forecasts. As my experience of astrology shifts, I want to honor what feels right for me and also shift how I show up here with you. Right now, this means monthly forecasts to allow for a wider perspective on the astrology of the moment. You can hear a bit more about my thought process on this in my previous episode, "Transits are Rites of Initiation". I hope you enjoy this episode and I welcome your feedback 🙏🏻🌀🌟In episode 608, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath, LMFT (she/her) shares with you the astrology of the month from a depth psychological perspective.The astrology this month includes:- Sun in Libra from Sept 22 - Oct 22- Sun in Scorpio from Oct 22 - Nov 21- T-Square of Sun-Chiron-Jupiter from Oct 2 - Nov 1- T-Square of Venus-Chiron-Jupiter from Oct 21 - Nov 14- Sun square Pluto from Oct 14 - Nov 3- Mercury in Scorpio from Oct 6 - Oct 29- Mercury in Sagittarius from Oct 29 - Nov 18- Mercury retrograde shadow phase starts on Oct 20 when Mercury gets to 20 degrees Scorpio- Mercury conjunct Mars from Sept 29, 2025 - Feb 3, 2026first peak from Oct 16 - Nov 15, 2025second peak from Jan 11 - Jan 23, 2026- Mercury-Mars in a Grand Trine with Jupiter and Saturn-Neptune from Oct 16 - Dec 18- Neptune will be back in Pisces (to 29 degrees) from Oct 22 - Jan 26, 2026- Venus in Virgo from Sept 19 - Oct 13- Venus in Libra from Oct 13 - Nov 6- Venus opposite Saturn-Neptune from Sept 29 - Oct 24- Grand Trine with Venus-Uranus-Pluto from Oct 6 - Oct 23- Mercury-Mars opposite Uranus from Oct 21 - Dec 18- Full Moon in Aries on Oct 6 at 8:47pm PT at 14 degrees Aries- Last Qtr Moon in Cancer on Oct 13 at 11:13am PT at 20 degrees Cancer- New Moon in Libra on Oct 21 at 5:25am PT at 28 degrees Libra- First Quarter Moon in Aquarius on Oct 29 at 9:21am PT at 6 degrees Aquarius🦋Find my complete catalog of videos on YouTubeSign-up for my newsletter to receive updates on my latest podcasts, articles, and other offeringsFind out more about me and my work here
