This month comes at us with a rather powerful full moon on October 1, with hope for a slightly careful, but fresh start. It is the perfect time to use this pure and powerful cosmic energy to renew your interests, both personal and professional. On the flip side, the last Mercury retrograde of the year makes its way into our lives from October 13 through November 3, bringing with it occasional stressful intervals.
Read on to find out more about what your October 2020 horoscope has in store for you:
