Horoscope: Astrologer names two star signs implicated by ‘ring of fire’ lunar events (Image: Getty)
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Inbaal revealed that two major lunar events, the solar eclipse and another supermoon, will have a profound impact on the 12 zodiac signs this month.
Inbaal said: “The Solar eclipse on October 2 is an annular eclipse, nicknamed a ring-of-fire eclipse. It’s an eclipse that covers the Sun, leaving a perfect sunny circle around the shadow.
“It will be visible primarily in South America, but its influence will be felt worldwide. Solar eclipses used to be seen as bad omens in ancient civilisations, but now we view them astrologically, as referring to beginnings and endings and predicting large transformations in our lives.
“October 2 will bring new beginnings to the lives and charts of many, especially those born in the sign of Libra since the Sun is in Libra at the time of the eclipse. We will also enjoy yet another Supermoon this October, Thursday 17, which will impact passionate Aries more than others. This Full Moon in fiery Aries brings with it an air of determination since Aries is a focused and fearless sign.”

Libra – September 23 to October 22
Happy Libra season! During Libra season, the New Moon will always be in your sign, Libra. But this time, it brings a bit of extra flair in the shape of an annular solar eclipse. Since the Sun and the Moon are both in Libra on October 2, you will enjoy a boost in your home life and also at work. But the eclipse could delay some of those fortunate changes. As the Sun goes into hiding for a few minutes in the sign of Libra, it withholds some information so you’ll need to hold faith in your heart and believe that things will go in your favour. If you experience delays, breathe through them and don’t panic.
Scorpio – October 23 to November 21
As we’re creeping towards Scorpio season, some of the main planets in the solar system are starting to get closer to your sign, influencing you as they go. This month starts with Venus, the planet of love in Scorpio, where it remains until October 17. This will bring days of romance and joy for you, times spent indoors with your favourite person – or scrolling calmly as you look for this special someone. There’s a little crossover as Mercury, the planet of communication enters your sign from Monday 14, meaning your in-box will be bursting until the end of the month. During the few days which see you under both Venus’s and Mercury’s influence, you’ll be enjoying long talks into the night with the object of your affection.
Sagittarius – November 22 to December 21
Your adventurous spirit calls on you to break boundaries and smash glass ceilings, Sagittarius, but it can often be a lonely pursuit. Not many people can keep up with the pace and sheer determination that your lifestyle as a free spirit demands of you. You’re sociable, well-liked, with a full tank of gas at all times, and for those reasons, romance can be a challenge for you. Not this month! Venus, the planet of love moves into your sign on October 18 and stays there all month, so luck will be on your side when it comes to love.
Capricorn – December 22 to January 19
Pluto, the planet of transformation, has been in your sign for the past 20 years almost, Capricorn. That means that abrupt changes and hairpin turns are second nature to you by now. For the past two years or so, this planet has been dipping in and out of your sign, so you’ve been sharing those exhilarating moments with the humanitarian sign of Aquarius. But this period is coming to an end, too, with one final chaotic period of six weeks ahead. This whole month, and a half of the next, transformational Pluto is in your sign, so if unpredictable and unwelcome changes appear, likely, they won’t last. Breathe through those surprises, and exercise patience.

Aquarius – January 20 to February 18
Next month, after much dipping in and out, we’ll watch as Pluto, the planet of transformation enters your sign and not leave for 20 years, so a lot will happen during that time. Jobs, homes and love will be turning upside down and back again. But not quite yet, as this October is the calm before the storm. For the whole of this month, we’ve got your ruling planet Uranus in the calm sign of Taurus. This means that you’ll favour time at home, curled up with a good book and some marshmallows, absolutely unfussed about the chaos that is about to unfold.
Pisces – February 19 to March 20
You’ve experienced a lot of stability over the past few months, Pisces, which you love, but a bit of excitement is always welcome. And it arrives, but in a very subtle way. Saturn, the planet of karma is in your sign all month – where it has been for a year and a half, so karma is still on your side. Neptune, your modern ruling planet, is in Pisces all month, where it has been for 13 years, and it will keep providing you with a strong capacity for dreams and imagination. Your manifesting abilities are excellent thanks to this placement. But when it comes to having fun – your traditional ruling planet, which is generous Jupiter, is in chatty Gemini and this means that you find yourself at more parties and events than you’re used to.”
Aries – March 21 to April 19
The Full Moon in Aries is a once-a-year occurrence, and this year it is a Supermoon, no less. This means that the lunar blessings of wish fulfilment and manifesting are stronger with you. Focus on what you’d like to achieve, and watch the moon carry you on her luminous wings, all the way to success and completion. Your ruling planet, passionate Mars, spends the whole month in sensitive Cancer, which makes you more considerate and mindful of the needs of others. You’ll catch yourself volunteering and donating more than ever.
Taurus – April 20 to May 20
Your love of peace might not be realised this October, Taurus, but you’re going to be having a lot of fun. This is thanks to your ruling planet, Venus, visiting two very exciting signs this month. Until October 17 Venus is in enigmatic Scorpio. This sign is red-hot and interesting and will promise you some unusual encounters with surprising personalities. Then, from the 18th, Venus moves to fiery Sagittarius, a party-loving sign that will make you feel lucky and free. This will impact your love life, but you’ll also notice some new energy around your career, with overseas influence injecting joy into the work culture.
Gemini – May 21 to June 21
As a lover of adventures and good times, you welcome any changes, Gemini. You aren’t afraid to experiment, and to do things differently, just to see how they’ll work out. Jupiter, the planet of growth and luck, is in your sign all month long, which means good fortune, and financial blessings to boot. However, Jupiter turns retrograde on the 9th, so all those blessings that are rushing towards you, encounter delays and complications after that date. The Jupiter retrograde is set to last four months – but when the retrograde ends, Jupiter in Gemini persists for another four months after that, so remain patient, as good Jupiterian things come to those who wait.
Cancer – June 21 to July 22
You’re a heart-centred sign and as a person, you’ll favour emotion and intuition over status and wealth, Cancer. But what about passion? This month specifically, you find yourself motivated by your rarely-seen fiery side. Mars, the planet of passion and action, is in your sign all month long. This means that you will be attracting those who are quite open about their passionate nature, and you’ll find yourself in places and situations which emphasise the human body. Arguments are likely, too, so all in all, it’s a fiery month for you, which will be super exciting, but quite outside of your comfort zone.
Leo – July 23 to August 22
As your sign is ruled by the Sun, it is more predictable and balanced than most of your friends. The planets of the solar system which rule all the signs are a little mixed up and unpredictable, but the Sun is always in the same place, travelling through the signs at a steady, comforting pace, which makes you a dependable friend and partner. This October, The Sun is in elegant Libra until October 22, and this puts you in the mood to redecorate and beautify your surroundings. Then, from October 23, the Sun moves to passionate Scorpio, so you’ll be looking for exciting destinations to host a naughty weekend with your special someone.
Virgo – August 23 to September 22
As Virgo season recently ended, you’ve tidied away the sparkly cards, cake and balloons, and you’re now ready for the winds of change. Your ruling planet, communicative Mercury, starts the month gently for you, in the elegant sign of Libra. This means that you’ll enjoy peaceful conversations where others agree with you, easygoing trips to the theatre, and online transactions which flow smoothly. On Monday 14, however, things change, and this planet slides into intense Scorpio. The planetary move causes a big shift in the energy around you, and now there’s more disagreement, heated conversations and less harmony.
