October is a complex month astrologically, with several major shifts. Mars is in close combustion with the Sun the entire month, and there is a deep sense of change as Saturn and Jupiter both shift from retrograde to direct.
In the beginning of July, a strong Saturn in Capricorn aspects a debilitated Mars in Cancer to the exact degree. On July 6th Mercury goes into his own sign, Gemini, which makes Mercury powerful.
A retrograde Mercury is closely involved with the solar eclipse in Taurus on June 10th, which can manifest problems with communication. Mars is debilitated all month and Jupiter goes retrograde on June 20th.
Taurus has a big influence this May, while four planets transit through the sign. Taurus and Scorpio are also the signs where all eclipses take place during 2021.
There is a lot of astrological activity in Capricorn this month. From February 9th to the 11th there are seven planets in Capricorn, including the outer planet Pluto.
