Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
October 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
There can often be reasons to keep you focused on your daily routines this month, dear Leo, with a strong emphasis on your solar third house. It's also a time for communicating, connecting, running many errands, or juggling many activities.
You quickly become enthused with your plans, projects, and ideas in October. Romantic expression moves from slightly timid to wonderfully terrific around the 7th, when Venus moves into your romance sector for the remainder of the month and beyond. This cycle brings more lightness, warmth, and graciousness into your life, and it ups your powers of attraction. The desire to interact, spread your charm, and enjoy yourself increases. Benefits come to creativity, romance, children, entertainment, and other channels through which you express your need for play and reinforcement.
Learning, communicating, and connecting are all prominent themes. You are super motivated in these areas, although you should watch for haste. While you can quickly make a lot of headway, there can be some errors or things you overlook. Choose your words wisely and watch for impatience with communications and movements.
The desire or need for new beginnings after the New Moon on the 6th relates to communications, studies, learning, connecting, and transportation. New channels for expressing yourself, making contact, or getting out and about can open up. Your enthusiasm to get things done, succeed, and excel is through the roof in the days following. Do watch for impatience, and try not to voice your unsatisfied desires if they've come on very suddenly -- give them time. Aim to pour excess energy into pet projects or following through on a missed connection.
It's also a time when problems resurface, or you're in limbo, waiting for answers, with Mercury retrograde until the 18th. Aim to keep some emotional distance if engaging in debates and try not to take things, especially done or spoken in impatience, too seriously. There can be many distractions, but it can be an exciting time for reviving an old mental interest or idea.
Saturn's direct turn on the 10th helps ground you, bringing more clarity to a relationship or your stand on a situation. Realistic expectations of projects and people lead to happier moods all around!
Jupiter ends its retrograde on the same day that Mercury does: the 18th. You may be connecting with people and information that help you get closer to your goals after this date. Slowly but surely, more clarity comes to your projects and communications, editing work finishes, or word comes that moves things forward. Building faith in a relationship can be in focus and rewarding.
There could be helpful, happy, or pleasing people coming (or coming back) into your life. Even with increased family focus as the month advances, your social life is set to grow. Moods lift. You can find much joy in feeling part of a partnership or close friendship.
It's also an excellent time to advance towards a cherished goal, benefit through help from others, and learn something handy. People seek you out and enjoy your input. Getting active with a partner, even in small ways such as sharing time running errands, can give your relationship a nice boost.
The Full Moon on the 20th is a call to expand your interests and experiences, particularly if you've been too focused on your personal life. The power of your words is strong all month, and you can be prolific when it comes to writing or speaking. This lunation can awaken you to your need for more spirited activities and interests. It's a nudge toward rounding your life out with pursuits that feed your spirit for adventure.
The last week of the month emphasizes more focus on family or home life. The Sun begins its transit of your home and family sector on the 23rd, and then Mars heads into this same area of your solar chart on the 30th. You're in a more self-protective and protective phase, and improving your home or personal life can be appealing. Building up inner strength and nurturing the self and loved ones are in the spotlight in the coming weeks.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
October 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From October 23rd forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 7th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From October 7th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All month:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
Mercury is retrograde from September 27th to October 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled.
Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 30th:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From October 30th forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
October 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Leo (Born August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
October 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 12th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
From October 13th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until October 26th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.

Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
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 personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled.
Occurring in your solar second and third houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives, composing letters, emails, and phone calls, as well as communicating with neighbors and siblings. Back up your computer and allow sufficient time for delays or transportation mishaps when going for appointments. As well, it would be wise to choose your words carefully. What you say or write can too easily be misinterpreted during this period. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on decision-making regarding money. 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 important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances, 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 second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From October 15th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.
Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.
More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.
A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

New channels for expressing yourself, making contact, or getting out and about can open up. Your enthusiasm to get things done, succeed, and excel is through the roof in the days following. Do watch for impatience, and try not to voice your unsatisfied desires if they've come on very suddenly -- give them time. Aim to pour excess energy into pet projects or following through on a missed connection.
It's also a time when problems resurface, or you're in limbo, waiting for answers, with Mercury retrograde until the 18th. Aim to keep some emotional distance if engaging in debates and try not to take things, especially done or spoken in impatience, too seriously. There can be many distractions, but it can be an exciting time for reviving an old mental interest or idea.
Saturn's direct turn on the 10th helps ground you, bringing more clarity to a relationship or your stand on a situation. Realistic expectations of projects and people lead to happier moods all around!
Jupiter ends its retrograde on the same day that Mercury does: the 18th. You may be connecting with people and information that help you get closer to your goals after this date. Slowly but surely, more clarity comes to your projects and communications, editing work finishes, or word comes that moves things forward. Building faith in a relationship can be in focus and rewarding.
There could be helpful, happy, or pleasing people coming (or coming back) into your life. Even with increased family focus as the month advances, your social life is set to grow. Moods lift. You can find much joy in feeling part of a partnership or close friendship.
It's also an excellent time to advance towards a cherished goal, benefit through help from others, and learn something handy. People seek you out and enjoy your input. Getting active with a partner, even in small ways such as sharing time running errands, can give your relationship a nice boost.
The Full Moon on the 20th is a call to expand your interests and experiences, particularly if you've been too focused on your personal life. The power of your words is strong all month, and you can be prolific when it comes to writing or speaking. This lunation can awaken you to your need for more spirited activities and interests. It's a nudge toward rounding your life out with pursuits that feed your spirit for adventure.
The last week of the month emphasizes more focus on family or home life. The Sun begins its transit of your home and family sector on the 23rd, and then Mars heads into this same area of your solar chart on the 30th. You're in a more self-protective and protective phase, and improving your home or personal life can be appealing. Building up inner strength and nurturing the self and loved ones are in the spotlight in the coming weeks.

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 second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’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.
For easier reading, the horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. However, for those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
