Why is October 22 the worst astrological day of the month?

Astrology has surged in popularity in recent years, especially among Millennials and Gen Z, with many people turning to the stars to make sense of their daily struggles. If you’re feeling off on October 22, astrologers point to a chaotic mix of planetary energy as the culprit.

Astrologer Lisa Stardust explained that Mercury in Scorpio clashing with Saturn retrograde in Pisces could make it harder for people to express themselves. Feelings of being stuck, frustrated, and anxious may surface, leading to emotional outbursts or meltdowns. She added that the Sun in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn, adding tension. The Sun in Libra seeks validation from others, while Pluto in Capricorn is about breaking down old structures. This clash may force buried issues and jealousies to rise to the surface.
