Welcome to your October horoscope! It’s officially spooky season and this one is extra spooky. I’m personally looking forward to the 8th. Here’s why.

October kicks off with a big eclipse in Libra on October 2. Eclipse season is always full of necessary chaos, but chaos nonetheless. Thankfully, this solar eclipse at 10° Libra at the start of the month creates an opportunity to understand the whirlwind with a more level head.

Romantic escapades and fun flirts are abundant this month, thanks to the synergistic magic of October's astrology.

Novels by Karl Ove Knausgaard and Jean Hanff Korelitz; nonfiction by Ina Garten, Alexei Navalny and Ta-Nehisi Coates; Sapphic horror and more.

There's a lot on Netflix's October release schedule, but it's easy to pinpoint the one that will have the biggest impact on my social media feeds: Super queer teen romance series Heartstopper, based on the graphic novel series, returns for its third season on Oct. 3.

Heartstopper season 3, The Diplomat season 2, Love is Blind, and The Platform 2 are just some of the TV shows and movies coming to Netflix in October 2024.
