Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
October 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
There is a strong focus on you and your personal plans this month, dear Libra, with many bodies in your sign. It's an important month for pursuing your goals, expressing yourself independently, and taking care of yourself.
Mercury is retrograde in your sign until the 18th, and it's also vital that you look back before moving forward! With both Mercury and Jupiter changing directions on the 18th, watch for fuzzy thinking, and add a buffer zone of a few days in both directions to the equation. While the New Moon on the 6th motivates you to want to start fresh, you'll feel clearer three weeks into October.
Mars in your sign most of the month can pump you up nevertheless. Planets in your sign harmonize with lucky Jupiter, bringing some events that feel like lucky breaks. It's an excellent time for building bridges or boosting current relationships. Hobbies and recreational pastimes can be in stronger focus. You're especially inclined to dream big dreams as you focus on renewal and creative refreshment. You may feel freer to express yourself or happy to explore hobbies and other forms of expressive recreation.
It's a powerful time for learning and leisure. You may be motivated to pursue your heart's desire. It can be a time of tapping into your enterprising side. While Mercury remains retrograde until the 18th, and conversations can be learning experiences, you most readily rise above problems. You have the confidence that you can make things happen, particularly for fun, romance, children, and creative projects.
Disconnects with others can be part of the picture, particularly related to home or family life. Still, these interruptions have a way of pointing out new ways to do things you may not have seen otherwise.
You have a real need for change, action, and dynamism in October. You no longer tolerate certain restrictive circumstances. Your temper can be quick, and some restlessness is possible if you don’t find healthy outlets for excess energy. Be active but avoid haste for best results. Mars spurs you on and motivates you to pursue your desires. You are making things happen, and while you can be a little headstrong and impatient at times, this is generally a good time for knowing what you want and getting things done. This is more the case after the 18th.
Always when Mars transits your sign (which happens for about six weeks every 2-3 years), there is some danger of pushing yourself too far, whether on physical, mental, or emotional levels. However, Mars can help improve your confidence as long as you practice self-control at the same time. Discovering a new passion, interest, hobby, or love may be in focus now.
The New Moon on the 6th feels intense and stirring. It’s about personal reinvention, new personal beginnings, health and body issues, attitudes, and personal manner, and you can get quite revved up about making changes. The Sun and Mars head toward alignment in your sign producing combustible energy that increases your courage but perhaps also your tendency to impulsive or impatient behavior. It would help if you were as self-aware as possible to benefit from this transit.
Observe what's happening around you and what you feel so that if you need to make quick decisions, you'll be in the right headspace. Taking charge, taking the lead, and being straightforward are themes. However, it wouldn't hurt to tone things down if you're feeling hot and bothered. Confidence is attractive; impatience leads to poor choices. Your independence is in the spotlight this month!
On the other hand, mental energy is abundant but perhaps stifled or misdirected at times in October, particularly around the 7-9. You may want to watch for offhand or unintentionally insensitive remarks as well as impulsive actions. Some backtracking or frustration can serve as a push to clear the decks for new beginnings.
Mercury turning direct on the 18th is helpful, and so are Saturn on the 10th and Jupiter on the 18th. Blocks are lifting! Jupiter turns direct in your romance and creativity sector, giving the green light for romance, arts, and entertainment. It ushers in hope and feelings of optimism, particularly about a creative project or a romantic relationship. Your spirit to enjoy life is building. You certainly possess extra charm this month. It’s an excellent time to update your personal presentation and envision what you’d like to make of the year ahead.
Others seem to be in your corner, and an important meeting of minds can occur. Your powers of attraction skyrocket, and outstanding creative opportunities arise. You could be the go-to person for information and know-how.
Around the Full Moon on the 20th, your attention turns to relationships and unrealized feelings. There can be frustrations or heightened awareness about your relationship needs that require changes. Your true feelings emerge now, and they’re a little raw.
From the 23rd, motivation to pursue your financial goals is strong and building. You'll be heading into November with a mission. In the last days of October, you could solve a problem or two, not only for yourself but for others as well, or news comes in that clarifies things. You can use the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests.

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:
October 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From October 23rd forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 7th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From October 7th forward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from September 27th to October 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar first house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to your body language. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. You may appear uncommunicative and hard to reach, or what you say comes out wrong. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. Don't worry too much if others aren't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. You might spend more time than usual when it comes to making decisions now, and this is natural. Rushed decisions may be regretted when you change your mind later on.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 30th:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
From October 30th forward:
Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.
You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
October 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:
October 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 12th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From October 13th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until October 26th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From October 27th forward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
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 involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar twelfth and first houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to body language and intuition. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners and family members; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until October 15th:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
From October 15th forward:
You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit of Mars through your solar first house. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper.
Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.

October 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
There is a strong focus on you and your personal plans this month, dear Libra, with many bodies in your sign. It's an important month for pursuing your goals, expressing yourself independently, and taking care of yourself.
Mercury is retrograde in your sign until the 18th, and it's also vital that you look back before moving forward! With both Mercury and Jupiter changing directions on the 18th, watch for fuzzy thinking, and add a buffer zone of a few days in both directions to the equation. While the New Moon on the 6th motivates you to want to start fresh, you'll feel clearer three weeks into October.
Mars in your sign most of the month can pump you up nevertheless. Planets in your sign harmonize with lucky Jupiter, bringing some events that feel like lucky breaks. It's an excellent time for building bridges or boosting current relationships. Hobbies and recreational pastimes can be in stronger focus. You're especially inclined to dream big dreams as you focus on renewal and creative refreshment. You may feel freer to express yourself or happy to explore hobbies and other forms of expressive recreation.
It's a powerful time for learning and leisure. You may be motivated to pursue your heart's desire. It can be a time of tapping into your enterprising side. While Mercury remains retrograde until the 18th, and conversations can be learning experiences, you most readily rise above problems. You have the confidence that you can make things happen, particularly for fun, romance, children, and creative projects.
Disconnects with others can be part of the picture, particularly related to home or family life. Still, these interruptions have a way of pointing out new ways to do things you may not have seen otherwise.
You have a real need for change, action, and dynamism in October. You no longer tolerate certain restrictive circumstances. Your temper can be quick, and some restlessness is possible if you don’t find healthy outlets for excess energy. Be active but avoid haste for best results. Mars spurs you on and motivates you to pursue your desires. You are making things happen, and while you can be a little headstrong and impatient at times, this is generally a good time for knowing what you want and getting things done. This is more the case after the 18th.
Always when Mars transits your sign (which happens for about six weeks every 2-3 years), there is some danger of pushing yourself too far, whether on physical, mental, or emotional levels. However, Mars can help improve your confidence as long as you practice self-control at the same time. Discovering a new passion, interest, hobby, or love may be in focus now.
The New Moon on the 6th feels intense and stirring. It’s about personal reinvention, new personal beginnings, health and body issues, attitudes, and personal manner, and you can get quite revved up about making changes. The Sun and Mars head toward alignment in your sign producing combustible energy that increases your courage but perhaps also your tendency to impulsive or impatient behavior. It would help if you were as self-aware as possible to benefit from this transit.
Observe what's happening around you and what you feel so that if you need to make quick decisions, you'll be in the right headspace. Taking charge, taking the lead, and being straightforward are themes. However, it wouldn't hurt to tone things down if you're feeling hot and bothered. Confidence is attractive; impatience leads to poor choices. Your independence is in the spotlight this month!
On the other hand, mental energy is abundant but perhaps stifled or misdirected at times in October, particularly around the 7-9. You may want to watch for offhand or unintentionally insensitive remarks as well as impulsive actions. Some backtracking or frustration can serve as a push to clear the decks for new beginnings.
Mercury turning direct on the 18th is helpful, and so are Saturn on the 10th and Jupiter on the 18th. Blocks are lifting! Jupiter turns direct in your romance and creativity sector, giving the green light for romance, arts, and entertainment. It ushers in hope and feelings of optimism, particularly about a creative project or a romantic relationship. Your spirit to enjoy life is building. You certainly possess extra charm this month. It’s an excellent time to update your personal presentation and envision what you’d like to make of the year ahead.
Others seem to be in your corner, and an important meeting of minds can occur. Your powers of attraction skyrocket, and outstanding creative opportunities arise. You could be the go-to person for information and know-how.
Around the Full Moon on the 20th, your attention turns to relationships and unrealized feelings. There can be frustrations or heightened awareness about your relationship needs that require changes. Your true feelings emerge now, and they’re a little raw.
From the 23rd, motivation to pursue your financial goals is strong and building. You'll be heading into November with a mission. In the last days of October, you could solve a problem or two, not only for yourself but for others as well, or news comes in that clarifies things. You can use the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests.

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.
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.
