Astrology and Tarot for October 2025

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for December. They start with a recap of November's Uranus shakeup, and how a TBD attitude is an asset when it comes to facing the unexpected, when you need to be open to surprises and not plan too far in advance. Next, they discuss the big Neptune energy this month, emphasizing watery themes as the planet of interconnectedness goes direct for its final foray in Pisces. They note that this is the last month that both Neptune and Saturn are in Pisces, encouraging listeners to reflect upon what they’ve learned since 2023 when this dynamic duo began their shared residency in this sign. Continuing with Neptune, they talk about its squares to Mars, the Sun, and Venus, discussing how this may bring forth a clarion call to soften and allow, and yet we also need to watch a heightened tendency to merge or be too open with our boundaries. Stephanie picks a Tarot card at random, the King of Pentacles, and Megan describes how this earth-ruled King could provide a grounding influence during this watery month while also inspiring us to honor mentorship and share our wisdom with others.
