Do you want the good news or the bad news? Well, the bad news is just that this month is astrologically intense, and we’re all off on a chaotic cosmic ride. The good news is that the upcoming October 2020 New Moon on October 16 brings a moment of calm in the storm, albeit fraught with retrogrades and planetary drama.
And if you’re one of the lucky zodiac signs that the October 2020 New Moon affects the least, you’ll be able to make the most of this cosmic opportunity more easily than the rest of us. New Moons in the cardinal air sign of Libra almost always provide us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to clean our slates and start over when it comes to partnerships, justice, and even legal matters.
As this New Moon inspires us to seek balance as we revitalize these areas of our lives, some frustrating planetary aspects occur between the Sun and the Moon, retrograde Mars, and the cluster of planets that are forming the current Capricorn stellium.
This cosmic shock could take us away from the peaceful vibe of Libra and activate conflict, resentment, and fear. But we’re not doomed, this New Moon still serves as a high point in an otherwise astrologically stressful month.
Channel the energy of the Libra season by balancing your aggressive inner fighter with a healthy dose of fairness and diplomacy. And if you’re one of the zodiac signs least affected by the October 2020 New Moon, do your best to make the most of it.

You may have heavy responsibilities hidden beneath the surface or unspoken drama in the social group that is causing you frustration, Gemini.
