If October has felt unusually intense, you are not imagining it. One of my favorite astrologers, Alex Myles, names six powerful astrology dates this month when wishes speed up and hidden feelings get spoken. Tomorrow is the second of those days. So why don’t we work consciously with the positive energy this month offers?.
Astrology doesn’t guarantee that something will happen. But these dates can give us moments to pause, give us clarity about what we want and take action when the timing feels supportive.
One of the month’s bigger themes is Venus retrograde, from October 3 to November 13. In astrology, Venus represents love, relationships, money and what we value. During retrograde, the invitation is often to review these areas: What matters to me now? What do I really want?
Here are six astrology dates to watch (adjusted to Manila time):
October 6: Speak from the heart.
Mercury meets Venus in Scorpio, bringing communication and feelings together. Did someone tell you something they had been holding back? Or was there something you needed to say?

October 10: Set your intention.
The New Moon in Libra is exact at 11:50 PM PHT. Libra is associated with relationships, balance and partnership. It’s also 10/10 in a year that adds up to 1, a number associated in numerology with beginnings. What would you like to begin?
October 15: Move forward.
Jupiter, traditionally associated with growth and opportunity, is strongly activated, while Pluto turns direct after months of retrograde motion. Something that has been changing quietly within you may be ready to become action.
October 23: Get clear about what you really want.
The Sun enters Scorpio and meets retrograde Venus. This is less about wishing for more and more about asking: Is what I’ve been wanting still what I truly want?
October 26: Look at what you value.
The Full Moon in Taurus peaks at 12:11 PM PHT. Taurus is associated with security, money, the body and what we value. This is a good moment to look at whether the life you’re building reflects what truly matters to you.
October 28 : Stay open to surprise.
The Moon meets Uranus, associated with change and the unexpected. Plans may shift. Something you hadn’t considered may appear. Not every surprise is a setback.
How to make the most of these dates
On each of these dates, take a few quiet minutes to check in with yourself. Ask: What do I truly want at this point in my life? Is there something I need to change, release or begin? Write down what comes to mind. Be specific about your intention and identify one practical step you can take toward it. You can also use these dates to revisit your intentions, notice what’s changing in your life and reflect on whether your choices are aligned with what matters to you.
Remember, the planets don’t do the work for us. But these dates can remind us to become more aware, make conscious choices and take meaningful action.
In loving service,
