Your Key Dates

  • October 13: Don’t be afraid to get witchy
  • October 23: Skills can be learned—creativity is innate
  • October 27: Halloween isn’t meant to be stressful

Symbolized by the fish, Pisces are the deep-sea divers of the zodiac. Likewise, you’re all about a new adventure—especially if it’s one that involves transcendental experiences. Whether you’re dancing at a music festival, dipping your toes into a new spiritual practice, or getting lost in a fabulous book, you’re all about exploration. But since April, Pluto retrograde has been making you question your pursuits. Don’t worry, Pisces love! On October 3, Pluto stations direct, helping you get back on track with your quest. You may not have it all figured out just yet, but the journey is the destination.

On October 13, a Full Moon in Aries activates the financial sector of your chart. If you’ve been brainstorming innovative ways to boost your bank account balance, this is an excellent lunation to practice money manifestation. Turn off your technology (no, not airplane mode—turn it off), light up a few (preferably green!) candles, and focus visualize your prosperity. Then, perform an easy ritual by writing yourself an abundance check (pay to the order of your name, the amount of money you desire, and signed by The Law of Abundance). Put the check in a special place and enjoy the incredible power of your magickal capabilities—you’ll thank me later (I do accept Venmo, FYI).

The sun enters shadowy Scorpio on October 23, but for you, this celestial movement doesn’t feel dark and brooding. In fact, Scorpio energy activates your creativity zone. Over the next few weeks, you’ll be feeling bright, sunny, and inspired! This is an extremely artistic moment for you, Pisces love, so be sure you’re prepared with pencils, easels, or whatever tools help you express your imagination.

You may end up creating your tour de force on October 27 during the New Moon in Scorpio. This lunation is all about beginnings, so as you’re evoking your inner-Michelangelo (a fellow Pisces), consider what your artistic practice means to you. How can you live a creative life by infusing your unique perspective into your daily practices? Whether you’re working with spray paint or spreadsheets, don’t shy away from your talents. When we’re younger, we can feel embarrassed by our differences—but now, you’re beginning to realize that your eccentricities are exactly what make you shine. By the end of the month, all eyes will be on you, so don’t be surprised if you end up attracting some serious romantic attention along the way.

But beware! This year, Mercury Retrograde begins on Halloween, which will be especially confusing since everyone is already in costume. Is your newfound romance written in the stars…or is it just a late night booty call? Proceed with caution, Pisces babe. Until Mercury resumes its normal function on November 20, it’s okay to stay a little skeptical. After all, you don’t want your Romeo to suddenly transform into a ghost.
