October 2021 Monthly Horoscope: 12 Sign Overview

As we welcome in the coolest and spookiest month of the year so far, we make way for a transformative month of new beginnings as all members of the Zodiac begin to settle into a calmer period in their lives. This month, we’ll be kicking off October in the sign of the balance-seeking Libra. As a master of hustling and creating stability in all that they do, this air sign will encourage the Zodiac members to get to work on personal endeavors with a fiery new ambition as they strive for balance in all areas of their lives. From work to relationships, get ready to channel some major personal power this month as you cut past ties and move forward with a new and inspired vision like no other.

To follow this, at the end of September, we hit our last Mercury retrograde of 2021, which will linger in our space until October 17th. When Mercury is in retrograde, it is notorious for stirring up miscommunications and disagreements, so be careful with discussing touchy subjects with your coworkers and or partner. However, while this retrograde energy is known for stirring up trouble, it can also be very beneficial for working through traumas of the past and cutting toxic cords from past relationships. Therefore, get ready for a period of growth and rebirth, as many of the signs are likely to revisit things from their past this month to better make way for new opportunities in the future.

As you can see, October is predicted to be quite a powerful month with a variety of new energies entering our space. But above all else, it’s likely to be much calmer and more laid back than any other month we’ve seen this year. To give you a better idea of what you can expect, today, we’re going to touch on a brief overview of what changes each Zodiac sign can expect to feel throughout October and how each sign can make the most of it. 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You’ll be happy, and so will your superiors, and it will all around make for a very pleasant work environment. Keep up the great work! 

In love, those in a relationship are likely to be tested with frustrations this month, as Mercury retrograde stirs up miscommunication between you and your partner. Patience and understanding will be key to working through this, so just make sure you think before you speak to avoid any unnecessary issues. If you are single, you are likely to have multiple opportunities for new love this month, but you may be unsure of which one to pursue.

In your career, while luck and abundance are surrounding your career this month, there could also be some setbacks and delays as you try to fight the backward flow that Mercury retrograde brings.

Taking part in fun activities outside of the workplace should also help keep your cool, so make sure you make plenty of time to just relax and have some fun this month to keep your balance. 

In love, compromise will be a big theme with your partner this month, as you two are likely to struggle to see eye-to-eye. Therefore, instead of trying to hash it out through arguing, take some time to just sit down and talk things out with your partner calmly and honestly if you want to clear the air as quickly as possible. If you are single, you may hesitate to pursue new love this month but are likely to be shoved into some new situations where you just can’t help yourself. Above all else, allow your intuition to guide you, dear Taurus. When you do that, you will never be led astray.

In your career, October is expected to be a steady and productive month of accomplishing tasks. While you aren’t likely to advance to any new positions or reap any major rewards this month, this will be a great time for catching up on past work and getting a jump on new opportunities for the future.

In your career this month, you will be feeling inspired, which will have you dreaming big.
