Overview for this Month: Pisces (All)
October 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
October begins with a strong emphasis on relationships, intimacy, and money matters, dear Pisces. But as the month progresses, learning, sharing, publishing, and possibly some adventure can be part of the picture. You seek inspiration and mental refreshment, and you're ready to change things up in the process.
Mars moving into your solar ninth house on the 12th is supportive energetically speaking. There are fewer obstacles in your way, or it feels easier and more natural to assert your desires.
Even so, there is a significant focus on your solar eighth house and its themes: debts owed or due, emotional and material support, intimate relationships, and power dynamics. A Solar Eclipse occurs here on the 14th, which can bring on a need to take charge of your financial or intimate affairs. A new beginning with financial or emotional support is possible in the weeks following.
While you appear ready for action from the outside looking in, much is going on inside. Feelings are more intense than usual, but not uncomfortably so. You are more willing than usual to explore your deeper feelings this month. Fortunately, you're motivated to resolve emotional predicaments or, if not fix them, find peace with your problems. You might decide to share a burden or secret with a trusted person or find some other form of satisfying release for issues that have weighed you down. Indeed, letting go of the negative energy of mistrust can be therapeutic.
From the 8th, you’re attracting people into your life who want to make your life easier. It's a great time for warm, helpful, and charming interactions.
The month is, in fact, robust for self-development, feeling more powerful and in charge, and making positive lifestyle changes. There is the right balance between introspection and external focus. You’re more interested in developing skills than producing right now, although the desire for results is building.
From the 10th, you’ll feel some progress with educational pursuits and relationships or group endeavors. Friendships can be intense, but instead of dwelling on problem areas, you are motivated to make necessary changes that bring you closer to resolving long-standing problems. New ideas and approaches to your social life can emerge and empower you.
Communications, studies, publishing, and connecting grow in strength in your life as October progresses. You gravitate to experiences that broaden your horizons. You can have a strong desire to speak, know, and share your personal truths. Transits now encourage a passion for a new idea, subject, course of study, or adventure, bringing you into strong touch with personal desires. An impulse to explore, discover, and share can come on strongly now. For the best results, look for opportunities to expand your knowledge or skills without adding too much to your plate.
A Lunar Eclipse on the 28th can stir some drama--minor issues loom large. However, what emerges now can bring you to a critical turning point, especially with transportation and communication matters. It can be a hectic time when it can be challenging to focus on the things that inspire and drive you. Your words are more powerful now, so use this energy well. It's the last of a series of eclipses falling along your communications axis, and you will likely want to bring a project to fruition or make a final decision. In the weeks following this eclipse, your ideas or work can receive special attention.
This process shouldn't be rushed! Pay attention to your feelings and revelations now, but take your time acting on them. Watch for impatience and sharp words if others aren't moving as quickly as you are. Still, pushing your usual boundaries with learning and communications can be good for you, as long as it’s not excessive. Debate can be thrilling but disruptive if you take it too personally. Still, you want to move out of your comfort zone regarding learning, thinking, and doing.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
October 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 23rd:
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 23rd 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. 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.
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 eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar third house. Surprises surrounding your siblings, neighbors, or classmates 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 communications is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a writing project, an event involving a sibling that grabs your complete attention, a sudden opportunity for an adventure or trip, a flurry of activity in your immediate environment or neighborhood that demands attention, a letter or other communication that holds a big surprise, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 8th:
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 October 9th 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
Until October 4th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From October 5-21:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
From October 22nd 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
Until the 11th:
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 the 12th 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.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
October 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
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.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
October 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 13th:
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 could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 29th:
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 October 30th 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
Until October 16th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From October 16th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
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.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
October begins with a strong emphasis on relationships, intimacy, and money matters, dear Pisces. But as the month progresses, learning, sharing, publishing, and possibly some adventure can be part of the picture. You seek inspiration and mental refreshment, and you're ready to change things up in the process.
Mars moving into your solar ninth house on the 12th is supportive energetically speaking. There are fewer obstacles in your way, or it feels easier and more natural to assert your desires.
Even so, there is a significant focus on your solar eighth house and its themes: debts owed or due, emotional and material support, intimate relationships, and power dynamics. A Solar Eclipse occurs here on the 14th, which can bring on a need to take charge of your financial or intimate affairs. A new beginning with financial or emotional support is possible in the weeks following.
While you appear ready for action from the outside looking in, much is going on inside. Feelings are more intense than usual, but not uncomfortably so. You are more willing than usual to explore your deeper feelings this month. Fortunately, you're motivated to resolve emotional predicaments or, if not fix them, find peace with your problems. You might decide to share a burden or secret with a trusted person or find some other form of satisfying release for issues that have weighed you down. Indeed, letting go of the negative energy of mistrust can be therapeutic.
From the 8th, you’re attracting people into your life who want to make your life easier. It's a great time for warm, helpful, and charming interactions.
The month is, in fact, robust for self-development, feeling more powerful and in charge, and making positive lifestyle changes. There is the right balance between introspection and external focus. You’re more interested in developing skills than producing right now, although the desire for results is building.
From the 10th, you’ll feel some progress with educational pursuits and relationships or group endeavors. Friendships can be intense, but instead of dwelling on problem areas, you are motivated to make necessary changes that bring you closer to resolving long-standing problems. New ideas and approaches to your social life can emerge and empower you.
Communications, studies, publishing, and connecting grow in strength in your life as October progresses. You gravitate to experiences that broaden your horizons. You can have a strong desire to speak, know, and share your personal truths. Transits now encourage a passion for a new idea, subject, course of study, or adventure, bringing you into strong touch with personal desires. An impulse to explore, discover, and share can come on strongly now. For the best results, look for opportunities to expand your knowledge or skills without adding too much to your plate.
A Lunar Eclipse on the 28th can stir some drama--minor issues loom large. However, what emerges now can bring you to a critical turning point, especially with transportation and communication matters. It can be a hectic time when it can be challenging to focus on the things that inspire and drive you. Your words are more powerful now, so use this energy well. It's the last of a series of eclipses falling along your communications axis, and you will likely want to bring a project to fruition or make a final decision. In the weeks following this eclipse, your ideas or work can receive special attention.
This process shouldn't be rushed! Pay attention to your feelings and revelations now, but take your time acting on them. Watch for impatience and sharp words if others aren't moving as quickly as you are. Still, pushing your usual boundaries with learning and communications can be good for you, as long as it’s not excessive. Debate can be thrilling but disruptive if you take it too personally. Still, you want to move out of your comfort zone regarding learning, thinking, and doing.

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 a 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 reveal 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.
