Capricorn Horoscope for October 2025

There is a potent Pluto–Uranus trine featured in the New Moon eclipse from September that governs the first twenty days of October.

You are changing at the core, affecting your presence in the world, feeling of life purpose, and habitual patterns of daily rituals. Perhaps less grounded you may be, and yet also though less rigid or stuck. The Aries Full Moon takes place on the 6th illuminating issues of public versus private, the importance of your home life, and the potential for inner wounding to come up and be dealt with in a healing manner. Your values are profoundly shifting, continuing to the Last Quarter Moon on the 13th, when Pluto stations. This is also a time when unconscious process and inner work play a big role, and when inner wounding might come to the fore, affecting your relationships in some way. These issues are also serving as a possibility for greater internal connection on your part, as you and your awareness evolve. In spite of difficulties, your month ends on something of a joyful note, as a wonderful grand trine takes place involving Mars, Jupiter, and your ruler, Saturn. Inwardly tuned researches, friendships, groups, and partnerships are all interconnected.

The recent solar eclipse in late Virgo which took place on September 21st, and which consequently governs the first three weeks of the October month, may have the effect on you during this current timing of accentuating what you know and how good you’ve become at what you know. It doesn’t really matter if you're passionate about the stock market or iguanas, the important take away has to do with acknowledging how far you’ve come and how you know what you know, and how you might be able to take this mastery into your vocational arrangements as background or focused subject matter. As you come into October, you can also likely acknowledge the way that your sense of your personal resources has also grown, along with understanding of the mystical side of life that backs up what is rational and obvious.

The shift from knowledge to mastery can be subtle. One day, it dawns on you that what you’ve been practicing for years has become second nature and that you are able to weave together what you’ve learned with experience and intuition in the most harmonious ways. There is satisfaction that comes from knowing something that in the past felt completely foreign. As opposed to boredom, which can be associated with laziness, mastery is the ability to use the passing of time in your favor to become always better at what you do. Mastery relates in part to doing something well, and doing it often but most importantly, mastery relates to your internal passion.

October also begins with Mercury in Libra, or your vocational sector, forming a square with Jupiter in Cancer. There could be important conversations that foster inner gains especially If you are able to remain relatively polite during the first week of October, your diplomatic efforts could yield positive results., The temperature could be rising rather quickly and by October 6th, Mercury enters Scorpio and forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius increasing tensions.

On October 6th, the Aries Full Moon culminates in your domestic sector and either you or someone else could be feeling uncompromising. This is a dynamic Full Moon, but it doesn’t have to be difficult especially if you are able to channel your frustrations towards your goals. Mars is currently transiting in Scorpio and has rulership over the Full Moon which means it could be easier to blow off some steam by going out with friends and being social.

From October 7th to the 8th, Venus in Virgo forms a beneficial aspect with Jupiter in Cancer. You could hear from a distant admirer or just bask in the glow of an appreciative partner. Your personal relationships could also be helpful in your work.

A few days later, on October 10th and 11th, Venus opposes Saturn, your ruler, before entering her home sign of Libra on the 13th in the timing as well of an interesting Last Quarter Moon featuring developmental progress with Venus opposing Neptune in Aries. Your career is one major focus now and affects everything. Partners continue to be potentially beneficial to this vocational focus and there could also be ideas at cross purposes. Something sweet like an offer of love or a nice proposition could be knocking at your door, and it could be hard to resist.

Venus in Libra also forms a beneficial aspect to both outer planets Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius just as Pluto is stationing direct. This positive configuration connects the three areas of your chart that most closely relate to your work, your resources and your career. There could be some opportunity to level up but you may have to get out of your comfort zone to do so.

From October 19th to the 21st, Mercury in Scorpio forms a conjunction with Mars and a day later, it enters its shadow phase which simply means it will be retrograding back to this point in late November. Something to keep in mind especially if you are considering important changes as this period between now and the end of November could be good for strategizing.

The Libra New Moon on October 21st looks really good for work issues to combine with social ones, to their mutual benefit, while you are also potentially dealing with issues at the very core of your being. These can hold you back or propel you forward, depending on how you handle them. Saturn, your ruler, trines Jupiter in this New Moon, which brings good fortune to your developmental issues which continue to dominate; Pluto in square to the Sun and Moon in this lunation implies further transformational development as the hits just keep on coming during this time of massive change.

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd which carries its light to the community sector of your chart making the later part of the month likely busier for social engagements of all kinds and for looking ahead to your future.
