Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
October 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
You're looking at the "big picture" for much of October, dear Aquarius, with a strong emphasis on your spirit sector. You could crave experiences that transcend the ordinary, and a case of wanderlust can take hold! Opportunities to satisfy this itch, whether physical or mental, are good, especially from the 18th forward.
The New Moon on the 6th can fill you with take-charge energy. If you have a project that you want to share with the world, a new course of study you'd like to begin, or anything that feeds your need to expand your horizons, it may be best to wait until after Mercury turns direct on the 18th.
New beginnings are in store regarding personal interests, education, beliefs, mental outlook, publishing, promotion, sharing ideas, personal philosophy, travel, and other ways of broadening your views and life experiences. In fact, your ambitions fire up, and you can be excited to learn, perhaps to gain a competitive edge. It's a great time to pour energy into a project that gets you somewhere, and you're in a great position to tear down obstacles in your path and solve problems.
Again, consider that Mercury's retrograde until the 18th points to a need to look back before pushing forward. Waiting for news or information can be annoying but ultimately helpful if you use your waiting period to edit, revise, and rethink. You may need to correct technical problems or deal with delays or confusion about your next step. By the 18th, these things begin to turn around. Delays may be blessings in disguise if they point you in the direction of alternative methods that end up working out better for you. An example may be a minor breakdown of a device that leads you to discover a repair shop that becomes your favorite.
From the 6-9, you can feel a strong desire to stand up for your ideas or state your case. You may be craving more action, life experience, or a change of pace. Ideally, you get the courage to pursue a long-coveted goal. Competitive activities can thrive, whether physical or mental. Consider that seeking instant gratification can distract you from genuine desires and needs. Transits during this window tend to resurrect problems from the past. Watch for a tendency to make sudden moves or to speak too soon about a matter. Keep in mind that you can be communicating without thinking (or feeling).
Mars moving in harmony with your sign most of the month (to the 30th) is a significant boost. Whether obstacles fall out of your way or you move them out of the way with ease, it's a time of more smoothness and confidence.
Saturn turning direct in your sign on the 10th can nudge you forward, and it can also help with self-discipline. It might fuel your confidence to face reality and make better decisions as a result. This can be a time when specific health pursuits resume or begin.
Jupiter is also transiting your sign, and it turns direct on the 18th when Mercury also ends its retrograde! People see your best qualities in a favorable (or new and improved) light. You can be feeling some excitement and enthusiasm about your interests, a piece of news, or promising prospects. There could be some recognition for work you did in the past or excitement about the revival of a favorite dream/plan. You are looking at the world around you, yourself, and situations with building confidence and positivity.
You can experience a strong desire to break out of the mold or routine through what you learn, what you do, or where you go. You're particularly courageous and motivated to try new things. There can be notable developments related to education, transportation, or publishing from the 18th. You have an expanded vision of what you want to experience or achieve in the future, making it an excellent time to set goals.
The Full Moon on the 20th can bring deadlines, errands, and paperwork to your attention. If you've been avoiding your daily affairs, it's a time for bringing back more balance to your life. Communications, making connections, and transportation are in the spotlight, and changes are afoot. It's a time of heightened awareness of your need for a smooth flow in your daily affairs so that you can feel freer to take advantage of opportunities to learn more, grow, expand your audience, and widen your experiences.
The last week of October brings a stronger focus on work and career. This influence that continues and builds in November is a strong one for stimulating ambition and emphasizing goal-setting. The Sun climbs to the top of your solar chart on the 23rd, and Mars follows suit on the 30th.
Even so, opportunities open up to you as you share your thoughts and make an effort to reach out to others. Conversations can be very fruitful and even inspiring. Plans may come together. It's easier than usual to find satisfying channels for enjoyment and self-expression.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
October 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
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 7th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From October 7th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All 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 September 27th to October 18th:
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
Until the 30th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
From October 30th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
October 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
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 16th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:
October 2021 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until October 26th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From October 27th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from September 27th to October 18th:
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 eighth and ninth houses this time, extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans, and with any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to transportation, receiving support, loans, and taxes. There may be delays regarding financial support, loans, or taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors, lawyers, acquaintances, and intimate partners, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
After the 18th, information blocks lift.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until October 15th:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
From October 15th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

Saturn turning direct in your sign on the 10th can nudge you forward, and it can also help with self-discipline. It might fuel your confidence to face reality and make better decisions as a result. This can be a time when specific health pursuits resume or begin.
Jupiter is also transiting your sign, and it turns direct on the 18th when Mercury also ends its retrograde! People see your best qualities in a favorable (or new and improved) light. You can be feeling some excitement and enthusiasm about your interests, a piece of news, or promising prospects. There could be some recognition for work you did in the past or excitement about the revival of a favorite dream/plan. You are looking at the world around you, yourself, and situations with building confidence and positivity.
You can experience a strong desire to break out of the mold or routine through what you learn, what you do, or where you go. You're particularly courageous and motivated to try new things. There can be notable developments related to education, transportation, or publishing from the 18th. You have an expanded vision of what you want to experience or achieve in the future, making it an excellent time to set goals.
The Full Moon on the 20th can bring deadlines, errands, and paperwork to your attention. If you've been avoiding your daily affairs, it's a time for bringing back more balance to your life. Communications, making connections, and transportation are in the spotlight, and changes are afoot. It's a time of heightened awareness of your need for a smooth flow in your daily affairs so that you can feel freer to take advantage of opportunities to learn more, grow, expand your audience, and widen your experiences.
The last week of October brings a stronger focus on work and career. This influence that continues and builds in November is a strong one for stimulating ambition and emphasizing goal-setting. The Sun climbs to the top of your solar chart on the 23rd, and Mars follows suit on the 30th.
Even so, opportunities open up to you as you share your thoughts and make an effort to reach out to others. Conversations can be very fruitful and even inspiring. Plans may come together. It's easier than usual to find satisfying channels for enjoyment and self-expression.

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.
