Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
October 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
You enjoy some real enthusiasm and desire for new ideas this month, dear Aquarius, although, at times, there can be a sense of being held back as your attention is often demanded elsewhere. You might aim to feed your desire for different experiences by adding new or varied activities to your daily routines. Career and reputation matters can get a little tricky in the second half of the month, but also a satisfying area of focus. These matters gain more importance to your sense of well-being.
The month begins and ends with a Full Moon. The Full Moon on the 1st can lead to an epiphany about your daily affairs, mobility, studies, or general mental outlook and communications. These areas of your life are complicated again this month with Mars retrograde. However, as you become more aware of your needs, you'll discover ways to make improvements.
Venus spends much of the month in your solar eighth house (from the 2-27), and you seek more depth from your projects, activities, and relationships. You're especially skilled at resolving differences during this cycle. Backing or support may be easier to come by, or you might arrive at an attractive arrangement.
Mars turned retrograde in September and will continue until November 13th. There can be some frustrating slowdowns, which can be especially prominent this month around the 8-9 and 13th. Conflicts or frustrations can help you recognize anger if it's been hanging around, disrupting your life in indirect ways. You may feel tense about deadlines or impatient with matters that aren't accelerating at the pace you'd like. Consider that guardedness of your privacy and unwillingness to explore the deeper issues may be at the root of some tensions. Minor issues can be the trigger, but major issues may be at the root. Consciously try to slow down and tame your desires, which can seem very immediate and urgent now, but may lose relevance and importance later on. Watch what you communicate at this time. Disorder in your daily affairs, as well as with communications and transportation, can be disruptive.
While Mercury's retrograde from the 13th forward can add to the retrograde confusion this month, some areas of your life feel clearer. You might revive or renew projects that you've been working on behind the scenes or that you shelved in the past.
Extending help or support to others may be in focus, and it's rewarding. A pleasant surprise or coincidence can bring a little extra fun and joy to your world around the 10th. You might choose to put your faith or trust in someone, and this feels good! Indeed, letting go of the negative energy of mistrust can be therapeutic. It can be a time of increased personal meaning and purpose on an emotional level, as well as through your relationship with your practical world, resources, money, business, and belongings. You can find imaginative and inspired ways to boost your self-image, finances, or income. You might learn something useful that helps you in your career or enjoy thinking and talking about plans for the future and long-term goals. People may be speaking highly of you.
From the 13th, it may be wise to stick to projects that are already in the works rather than take on brand new endeavors. Some delays or mix-ups are possible but do look for opportunities in the second half of October to make valuable refinements and changes. It can be worth your while to look to the past for answers on how to manage current responsibilities, observe trends, and reconsider past plans and projects.
The New Moon on the 16th can inspire you to seek a sense of mission or purpose regarding learning new things, broadening your horizons, reaching a little higher for your goals, publishing, or promotion. Your perspective or belief system is changing. You recognize the need to live your life more fully, although restlessness can predominate until you find your way.
People are intrigued by you and drawn to you. Someone might entrust you with a secret. You can be quite motivated by research, a relationship, or passion projects this month. Peaceful agreements regarding money, power, and sharing with a partner, ex-partner, creditor, or debtor can figure strongly.
Life-path goals can be set around the 25th, but be prepared to do your research before going ahead with them. The past holds valuable lessons to carry forward with you. While decisions should probably wait because thinking is brand new, you can use this period for gaining a better understanding of your projects, goals, and needs. Aim to be vigilant about communicating prematurely about matters for which you don't have all the facts in the last week of the month.
The Full Moon on the 31st can stir up excitement or tension to the home, family, and personal life or your emotional world, leading to a new perspective. You're connecting with your true feelings and inner needs, and it can lead to creative ideas.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
October 2020 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From October 23rd forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 2nd:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From October 3-27:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
From October 28th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either.
Occurring in your solar ninth and tenth houses this time, extra care should be used when communicating with superiors and co-workers, and regarding travel or education plans. Delays are very possible. You may be re-thinking things regarding your life path, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, professors, lawyers, and family members, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of communication, siblings, neighbors, acquaintances, and transportation. Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
Note that Mars sticks around this area of your solar chart for much longer than usual–until January 6th, 2021, but is only retrograde here until November 13th.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
October 2020 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 10th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul.

You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From October 1-8 and October 19th forward:
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:
October 2020 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 12th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From October 13th forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life.

If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From the 20th forward:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
This month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either.
Occurring in your solar ninth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans. Delays or complications are very possible in these areas. Go over applications carefully before submitting them and make sure you understand instructions clearly. Expressing your opinions now might come across in entirely the wrong way. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of communication, siblings, neighbors, acquaintances, and transportation. Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
From the 17th forward: Occurring in your second house during this date range, money-making endeavors are in focus. Perhaps a money-making idea you have been working on and were enthused about encounters some snags and you feel the urge to abandon it altogether. Caution and perhaps anxiety may be the overriding emotions just for now. Money and security matters are extremely important to you during this cycle, but they are not as straightforward as they have been. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your money and your plans. This period involves coming to a greater understanding of how the way you manage your resources impacts your confidence and your life in a general sense.
Mars will continue to transit these areas of your solar chart for longer than usual–until February 2021 but is only retrograde until November 13th.

Mars turned retrograde in September and will continue until November 13th. There can be some frustrating slowdowns, which can be especially prominent this month around the 8-9 and 13th. Conflicts or frustrations can help you recognize anger if it's been hanging around, disrupting your life in indirect ways. You may feel tense about deadlines or impatient with matters that aren't accelerating at the pace you'd like. Consider that guardedness of your privacy and unwillingness to explore the deeper issues may be at the root of some tensions. Minor issues can be the trigger, but major issues may be at the root. Consciously try to slow down and tame your desires, which can seem very immediate and urgent now, but may lose relevance and importance later on. Watch what you communicate at this time. Disorder in your daily affairs, as well as with communications and transportation, can be disruptive.
While Mercury's retrograde from the 13th forward can add to the retrograde confusion this month, some areas of your life feel clearer. You might revive or renew projects that you've been working on behind the scenes or that you shelved in the past.
Extending help or support to others may be in focus, and it's rewarding. A pleasant surprise or coincidence can bring a little extra fun and joy to your world around the 10th. You might choose to put your faith or trust in someone, and this feels good! Indeed, letting go of the negative energy of mistrust can be therapeutic. It can be a time of increased personal meaning and purpose on an emotional level, as well as through your relationship with your practical world, resources, money, business, and belongings. You can find imaginative and inspired ways to boost your self-image, finances, or income. You might learn something useful that helps you in your career or enjoy thinking and talking about plans for the future and long-term goals. People may be speaking highly of you.
From the 13th, it may be wise to stick to projects that are already in the works rather than take on brand new endeavors. Some delays or mix-ups are possible but do look for opportunities in the second half of October to make valuable refinements and changes. It can be worth your while to look to the past for answers on how to manage current responsibilities, observe trends, and reconsider past plans and projects.
The New Moon on the 16th can inspire you to seek a sense of mission or purpose regarding learning new things, broadening your horizons, reaching a little higher for your goals, publishing, or promotion. Your perspective or belief system is changing. You recognize the need to live your life more fully, although restlessness can predominate until you find your way.
People are intrigued by you and drawn to you. Someone might entrust you with a secret. You can be quite motivated by research, a relationship, or passion projects this month. Peaceful agreements regarding money, power, and sharing with a partner, ex-partner, creditor, or debtor can figure strongly.
Life-path goals can be set around the 25th, but be prepared to do your research before going ahead with them. The past holds valuable lessons to carry forward with you. While decisions should probably wait because thinking is brand new, you can use this period for gaining a better understanding of your projects, goals, and needs. Aim to be vigilant about communicating prematurely about matters for which you don't have all the facts in the last week of the month.
The Full Moon on the 31st can stir up excitement or tension to the home, family, and personal life or your emotional world, leading to a new perspective. You're connecting with your true feelings and inner needs, and it can lead to creative ideas.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
