Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
October 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
October supports learning, extracurricular activities, career, reputation, and intimate relationships, dear Aquarius. You’re well-positioned to enjoy special interests and push ahead with work or life path goals. You can connect with others who inspire you or introduce you to new ideas and perspectives this month. Breaking up your routine even a little can be refreshing. You're looking for mental refreshment and likely to find it.
You’re especially effective and active this month, and more often than not, you gain the approval and support of others. There is wonderful energy for discovery and self-expression. Certainly, you're looking at the world around you, yourself, and situations with building confidence and positivity. You may feel inspired by a particular topic, piece of news, or promising opportunity. Often, you're inclined to be a little philosophical, and sharing ideas and experiences with others can be fulfilling. Your ability to take things as they come is attractive, and your positive attitude tends to attract attention.
The Solar Eclipse on the 14th sends you in new directions. While you can feel in the dark around the time of the eclipse, in the weeks following it, new studies, interests, and activities are likely. You are more inclined to follow your heart and your passions, although you're likely to have to deal with the mound already on your plate and come to some form of compromise to get the time to do so. Something that connects you with a new, different, or broader audience or with other ideas and cultures can be in focus now, and it’s gratifying.
You’re in excellent shape with shared resources, such as money and property, loans, and support from the 8th forward. It’s a favorable time to ask for help if you need it. Going deep with a special project, research, or mystery can be pleasurable, and you could learn new things about an intimate partner.
As the month advances, a busy and robust period for career and reputation matters develops. Mars climbs to the top of your solar chart on the 12th, and Mercury and the Sun follow suit on the 22nd and 23rd. It’s a spectacular show in your career and reputation sector, and you’re making a splash!
With these planetary shifts, you'll find yourself more invested in your professional life, responsibilities, and image as October progresses. You are ready to make things happen, and you bring more muscle, pride, and intelligence to your work. Others notice you for your efforts, skills, and voice. You’re ready to fight for what you want, although this is more likely to take the form of working hard to surpass competitors or your own personal best rather than out-and-out conflict. Make it a goal to benefit from the motivation and courage to go after what you want and deserve, but watch for impatience.
Any problems brewing in your domestic or personal life can reach a head around the Lunar Eclipse on the 28th. There can be a cosmic push for you to make changes to bring your life back into balance, particularly if you've been putting too much of yourself into your work and responsibilities. You'll be reorganizing your priorities now. A decision about a move or career change could be in the cards. There can be a nice release from an obligation or final word that helps clarify your next step.
Your words and actions are more noticeable and seem to come with more consequences in the last week of the month, but you also have quite a competitive edge. You might enjoy pouring yourself into a project that gets you somewhere as you tear down obstacles and solve problems.
The desire to break free from situations that restrict or limit you is with you, and this can be positive if it gives you the courage to make overdue changes. However, it's better to feel things out before finalizing anything in the week of an eclipse.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
October 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 23rd:
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.
Eclipses
A Solar Eclipse occurs on October 14th: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to the way you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be formed in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar fourth house. Surprises surrounding your home, family, and domestic life are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of house and home, property, family, parents, and foundations is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a project on the home, an event involving a family member or parent that grabs your complete attention, a flurry of activity in your home that demands attention, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 8th:
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 9th 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
Until October 4th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From October 5-21:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
From October 22nd forward:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 11th:
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 the 12th 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 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2023
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.

October 2023 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 13th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level.

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.

This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

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
Until October 16th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From October 16th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
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.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
October supports learning, extracurricular activities, career, reputation, and intimate relationships, dear Aquarius. You’re well-positioned to enjoy special interests and push ahead with work or life path goals. You can connect with others who inspire you or introduce you to new ideas and perspectives this month. Breaking up your routine even a little can be refreshing. You're looking for mental refreshment and likely to find it.
You’re especially effective and active this month, and more often than not, you gain the approval and support of others. There is wonderful energy for discovery and self-expression. Certainly, you're looking at the world around you, yourself, and situations with building confidence and positivity. You may feel inspired by a particular topic, piece of news, or promising opportunity. Often, you're inclined to be a little philosophical, and sharing ideas and experiences with others can be fulfilling. Your ability to take things as they come is attractive, and your positive attitude tends to attract attention.
The Solar Eclipse on the 14th sends you in new directions. While you can feel in the dark around the time of the eclipse, in the weeks following it, new studies, interests, and activities are likely. You are more inclined to follow your heart and your passions, although you're likely to have to deal with the mound already on your plate and come to some form of compromise to get the time to do so. Something that connects you with a new, different, or broader audience or with other ideas and cultures can be in focus now, and it’s gratifying.
You’re in excellent shape with shared resources, such as money and property, loans, and support from the 8th forward. It’s a favorable time to ask for help if you need it. Going deep with a special project, research, or mystery can be pleasurable, and you could learn new things about an intimate partner.
As the month advances, a busy and robust period for career and reputation matters develops. Mars climbs to the top of your solar chart on the 12th, and Mercury and the Sun follow suit on the 22nd and 23rd. It’s a spectacular show in your career and reputation sector, and you’re making a splash!
With these planetary shifts, you'll find yourself more invested in your professional life, responsibilities, and image as October progresses. You are ready to make things happen, and you bring more muscle, pride, and intelligence to your work. Others notice you for your efforts, skills, and voice. You’re ready to fight for what you want, although this is more likely to take the form of working hard to surpass competitors or your own personal best rather than out-and-out conflict. Make it a goal to benefit from the motivation and courage to go after what you want and deserve, but watch for impatience.
Any problems brewing in your domestic or personal life can reach a head around the Lunar Eclipse on the 28th. There can be a cosmic push for you to make changes to bring your life back into balance, particularly if you've been putting too much of yourself into your work and responsibilities. You'll be reorganizing your priorities now. A decision about a move or career change could be in the cards. There can be a nice release from an obligation or final word that helps clarify your next step.
Your words and actions are more noticeable and seem to come with more consequences in the last week of the month, but you also have quite a competitive edge. You might enjoy pouring yourself into a project that gets you somewhere as you tear down obstacles and solve problems.
The desire to break free from situations that restrict or limit you is with you, and this can be positive if it gives you the courage to make overdue changes. However, it's better to feel things out before finalizing anything in the week of an eclipse.

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.
