Overview for this Month: Sagittarius (All)
October 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
October is an excellent month in which to pursue your interests without too much in the way of interference, dear Sagittarius. It's particularly strong for learning, sharing, publishing, and different or varied activities. Restlessness can sometimes distract you, but overall you're in a good position to balance your attention to routine and responsibility with your attention to discovery and exploration.
Mars continues its retrograde all month, and a retrograde Mercury cycle from the 13th forward suggests the need to get plans right before going forward. Some introspection is in order, and a more mature look at others and your own relationship needs can empower you. Listen to your intuition on the 24-26, when ideas for the future can be golden. You may not know all the details just yet, but that's just fine--it's about the vision now.
October opens and ends with a Full Moon! The Full Moon on the 1st can usher in an important realization about a romance or special project as it occurs in your solar fifth house. Listen to your intuition about a matter, even if it comes on suddenly and surprises you. Mars is retrograde in the same sector of your solar chart, and a review of recent choices or endeavors seems important before you regain your motivation.
Venus moves to the top of your solar chart on the 2nd, and until the 27th, you have the chance to improve your reputation or find more enjoyment in your work, goals, and responsibilities. Cooperation has its share of rewards. This influence is super for your public image and professional endeavors.
Forward movement and take-charge energy are with you for money or resources, even if at times you worry too much about these things. You can feel empowered to improve issues surrounding self-worth, money, handling matters of the past, and income. You may be cutting the cord regarding a project or even an attitude that has been pulling you down. A business or financial matter might move forward or unblock--a shining light in a month when many other issues aren't as free-flowing. A cautious or conservative streak with money and possessions does continue, but you're aiming to rise above fears or insecurities.
A change of pace with your practical affairs, career, or health can be just what you need this month. It's a time for moving forward with less baggage, and your approach or attitude demands something different.
There's been a stronger emphasis on the practical side of your life this year, and a social influence is on the horizon. This month, a Jupiter-Neptune transit reminds you of the importance of your ideals, dreams, and imagination. Through your home life, business, and family, you're finding more meaning and purpose. There can also be tangible benefits related to your home, family, or real estate. Improving home life can tie in with a better relationship with your money and talents.
Even though you are uncertain whether or not you should be sharing certain observations this month, it's a mostly good time to harmonize with others. Mercury’s retrograde in your privacy sector from the 13th suggests that you'll benefit from more attention to your inner world as October advances. Some of the decisions made and projects started in the last couple of weeks can require reconsideration. Delays are possible. It’s a time for redoing and refining work that is already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers that were not obvious then, but entirely relevant now.
A frustrating matter from your past can emerge around mid-month but can be very revealing, and you might begin to figure out the root of recent aggravations. A social or romantic issue reaches a boiling point. The New Moon on the 16th indicates a new beginning in your social life, with happiness goals, or regarding your involvement with others. There can be tensions stirred in your personal life, and you'll have to do some juggling, but the central focus should be on getting your social life in order. You can be called upon to become more involved or to contribute to the group/community. You're looking for inspiration.
Venus aspects this month can help set up valuable opportunities to improve your life. You project your value and worth to associates and those in authority, which can positively impact your income, if not now, down the road. You are selling yourself in your career this month, and you have a particular influence on others. You gravitate toward experiences that help reinforce your feelings of faith in a person, your talents, or a cause. Others tend to put their confidence in you, and you are motivated to reinforce their favorable opinion of you. Pouring your heart and passion into a work or money-making project can be especially rewarding and successful.
The Sun's move into your privacy sector on the 22nd marks the beginning of a month-long period ideally used for healing, processing, and reflecting. You might see old problems or projects in a new light.
Retrograde Mercury retreats into your social sector on the 27th, where it will remain for the final week of its retrograde cycle (until November 3rd) and beyond. Communications with associates, groups, and friends can be subject to misunderstandings. New approaches are necessary for old problems, and while a resolution is not likely to come just yet, you can lay some groundwork now.
There can be some excitement or tension stirred up around the Full Moon on the 31st related to work, health, routine, and habits, prompting a new perspective. Unpredictability can rustle up some problems now, but this is also a highly creative, stimulating time for connecting with your true feelings on self-care or your chores, services, or job.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:
October 2020 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From October 23rd forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 2nd:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From October 3-27:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
From October 28th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from October 13th to November 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.
Occurring in your solar eleventh and twelfth houses this time, your instinctual judgment may be compromised, and extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily get sticky. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle. 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 friends and co-workers during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking 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 creativity, children, recreation, entertainment, hobbies, and romance because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways, such as problems with a lover or child's enthusiasm, for example, or a creative project encountering some setbacks, or possibly an event or circumstance that prevents you from enjoying hobbies or leisurely activities for the time being. This may be a period of review of a love affair.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
Note that Mars sticks around this area of your solar chart for much longer than usual–until January 6th, 2021, but is only retrograde here until November 13th.

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:
October 2020 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From October 1-8 and October 19th forward:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.

Sagittarius (Born December 13 to 21) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Sagittarius:
October 2020 Sagittarius 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 tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.
Occurring in your solar eleventh house this time, extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky during this cycle. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle, or you could be thinking about contacting an old friend. This may be a good time to do so. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and associates during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking 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 creativity, children, recreation, entertainment, hobbies, and romance because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways, such as problems with a lover or child's enthusiasm, for example, or a creative project encountering some setbacks, or possibly an event or circumstance that prevents you from enjoying hobbies or leisurely activities for the time being. This may be a period of review of a love affair.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
From the 17th forward: Occurring in your solar fourth house during this period, household projects may slow down or stall. Repairs may need to be done, or circumstances are such that living conditions seem unstable or in need of review. Perhaps the enthusiasm that you have been building for work around the house is lessening. You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, or you feel that this position is no longer in your hands, 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 get worked up about old problems or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. It's time to review how you have been handling your assertiveness on the home front and with family.
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 Sagittarius:
October is an excellent month in which to pursue your interests without too much in the way of interference, dear Sagittarius. It's particularly strong for learning, sharing, publishing, and different or varied activities. Restlessness can sometimes distract you, but overall you're in a good position to balance your attention to routine and responsibility with your attention to discovery and exploration.
Mars continues its retrograde all month, and a retrograde Mercury cycle from the 13th forward suggests the need to get plans right before going forward. Some introspection is in order, and a more mature look at others and your own relationship needs can empower you. Listen to your intuition on the 24-26, when ideas for the future can be golden. You may not know all the details just yet, but that's just fine--it's about the vision now.
October opens and ends with a Full Moon! The Full Moon on the 1st can usher in an important realization about a romance or special project as it occurs in your solar fifth house. Listen to your intuition about a matter, even if it comes on suddenly and surprises you. Mars is retrograde in the same sector of your solar chart, and a review of recent choices or endeavors seems important before you regain your motivation.
Venus moves to the top of your solar chart on the 2nd, and until the 27th, you have the chance to improve your reputation or find more enjoyment in your work, goals, and responsibilities. Cooperation has its share of rewards. This influence is super for your public image and professional endeavors.
Forward movement and take-charge energy are with you for money or resources, even if at times you worry too much about these things. You can feel empowered to improve issues surrounding self-worth, money, handling matters of the past, and income. You may be cutting the cord regarding a project or even an attitude that has been pulling you down. A business or financial matter might move forward or unblock--a shining light in a month when many other issues aren't as free-flowing. A cautious or conservative streak with money and possessions does continue, but you're aiming to rise above fears or insecurities.
A change of pace with your practical affairs, career, or health can be just what you need this month. It's a time for moving forward with less baggage, and your approach or attitude demands something different.
There's been a stronger emphasis on the practical side of your life this year, and a social influence is on the horizon. This month, a Jupiter-Neptune transit reminds you of the importance of your ideals, dreams, and imagination. Through your home life, business, and family, you're finding more meaning and purpose. There can also be tangible benefits related to your home, family, or real estate. Improving home life can tie in with a better relationship with your money and talents.
Even though you are uncertain whether or not you should be sharing certain observations this month, it's a mostly good time to harmonize with others. Mercury’s retrograde in your privacy sector from the 13th suggests that you'll benefit from more attention to your inner world as October advances. Some of the decisions made and projects started in the last couple of weeks can require reconsideration. Delays are possible. It’s a time for redoing and refining work that is already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers that were not obvious then, but entirely relevant now.
A frustrating matter from your past can emerge around mid-month but can be very revealing, and you might begin to figure out the root of recent aggravations. A social or romantic issue reaches a boiling point. The New Moon on the 16th indicates a new beginning in your social life, with happiness goals, or regarding your involvement with others. There can be tensions stirred in your personal life, and you'll have to do some juggling, but the central focus should be on getting your social life in order. You can be called upon to become more involved or to contribute to the group/community. You're looking for inspiration.
Venus aspects this month can help set up valuable opportunities to improve your life. You project your value and worth to associates and those in authority, which can positively impact your income, if not now, down the road. You are selling yourself in your career this month, and you have a particular influence on others. You gravitate toward experiences that help reinforce your feelings of faith in a person, your talents, or a cause. Others tend to put their confidence in you, and you are motivated to reinforce their favorable opinion of you. Pouring your heart and passion into a work or money-making project can be especially rewarding and successful.
The Sun's move into your privacy sector on the 22nd marks the beginning of a month-long period ideally used for healing, processing, and reflecting. You might see old problems or projects in a new light.
Retrograde Mercury retreats into your social sector on the 27th, where it will remain for the final week of its retrograde cycle (until November 3rd) and beyond. Communications with associates, groups, and friends can be subject to misunderstandings. New approaches are necessary for old problems, and while a resolution is not likely to come just yet, you can lay some groundwork now.
There can be some excitement or tension stirred up around the Full Moon on the 31st related to work, health, routine, and habits, prompting a new perspective. Unpredictability can rustle up some problems now, but this is also a highly creative, stimulating time for connecting with your true feelings on self-care or your chores, services, or job.

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.
