October 2020 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October 2020

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until October 12th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.

It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From October 13th forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until October 19th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

From the 20th forward: 

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. 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--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

This month:

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.

Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can't be left for a better time. 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 during this period, and in fact it's an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of personal finances, income, possessions, comfort, and values. These areas might be ambiguous now, or cause for concern and anxiety for the time being. Reassessing these matters becomes necessary. This is a good time for taking a hard look at your budget. It's also a time for understanding how the management of your personal resources impacts your confidence in general.

From the 17th forward: Occurring in your solar first house now, this Mars retrograde cycle is very up close and personal! The ways that your survival instincts have served you to date may not seem to be as effective, or you might be feeling cautious and withdrawn in a general way now. You might find that you are second-guessing yourself, and this is a natural process as you reassess how you've been going about meeting life and reacting/acting, which may need some polishing! It's a good time for refining these things. Your personal initiatives and confidence are affected. Perhaps you are less confident about your effectiveness and more cautious about sharing yourself with others. Personal initiatives might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. You may be a little tired and more accident-prone during this cycle, so be sure to rest up. You are also examining the way anger has helped or impaired your life and coming up with new ways to manage it. In the process, you can experience some real frustrations. The end result, ideally, is a much-improved "you." It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. How you assert yourself and how you go about going after what you want out of life are up for review now. Watch for unacknowledged or buried desires driving your behavior.

Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.

Mars will continue to transit these areas of your solar chart for longer than usual–until February 2021 but is only retrograde until November 13th.

Overview Horoscope:

October 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:

You're in fine shape to build health, improve daily routines, and take care of business in October, dear Pisces. Close relationships tend to fare especially well. There can be problems with speaking or acting too soon with Mars retrograde all month and Mercury retrograde from the 13th forward. It may be better to wait on making big decisions, both financially and emotionally, until you see things more clearly.

Full Moons bookend the month. The Full Moon on the 1st awakens your need to attend to money, resources, and ownership matters. It comes at a time when Mars is retrograde in your resources sector, and a review of these affairs becomes necessary. Epiphanies occurring now help you see where change is needed.

Venus spends much of the month in your partnership sector (from the 2-27). You're in great shape for enhancing close relationships. You're inclined to put more loving attention into your interactions, and the rewards for doing so are great. An optimistic, hopeful, and generous approach with others is in favor. Others are putting their faith in you, and this, in turn, motivates you to step up your game even further! Love is gracious, and others see you in a very positive light. A sense of stability and faithfulness in love and friendship can motivate you now.

While there can be some slowdowns with current retrograde activity, some uncertainties in your social life are clearing up this month. Small changes with friends made now can impact the future in significant ways. New ideas and approaches to your social life can emerge and empower you.

While there are excellent aspects for relationships this month, Mars is retrograde all month, and slowing down, in general, is vital. This is a time for patience – working on building lasting connections and projects is highly favored. Brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground.

Retrograde Mars can stir up buried problems related to money, respect, and values, which can be particularly prominent around the 8-9 and 13th. If you've kept too much to yourself, the stress can get to you. Issues aggravated now tend to be about boundaries, possessiveness, or respect on an emotional level, and money on the material plane. You want to hold your own with Mars currently transiting your solar second house, and if you are in the position to depend on others, it can frustrate you. There can be a tug of war going on with someone (or within yourself) over money, possessions, and matters of control.

Communication channels can open up this month. An unusual idea or method may very well lead to exciting discoveries, and perhaps some beautiful feelings. You could feel a stronger sense of purpose as a result of your interactions or new projects and plans. You're sure to meet with opportunities to transform your connections. Good communication skills can reverberate positivity in many areas of life.

Mind you, Mercury is retrograde from the 13th onwards, reinforcing the need to slow down before pushing forward. You may need to review educational plans, or there can be some mix-ups that introduce delays into your life. You'll benefit from taking a look at things from a new or different perspective, however, so even if blocks are irritating, you might get the chance to reconsider certain plans to your advantage.

The New Moon on the 16th can prompt you to get a handle on your intimate or financial life. Retrograde Mercury returns to your intimacy sector on the 27th, and if problems are re-emerging, then it's time to look at them a little differently, perhaps by seeing more details or looking at the larger perspective.

The Full Moon on the 31st can bring some excitement or tension to your communications, daily affairs, transportation, neighborhood, personal interests, or contacts. A new perspective on any of these matters can emerge.
