Overview for this Month: Sagittarius (All)
October 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
Your dreaming heart is beating strong in October, dear Sagittarius, with a powerful emphasis on your sector of hopes, wishes, and friends. Transits stir a focus on groups, associations, collaboration, networking, and attention to long-term projects.
Demands on your time can be big this month, and mostly pleasantly so, although you may need to pay special attention to managing your time effectively. You might be in the position of leader in a club or group or focusing quite happily on pursuing happiness goals. Pluto, Saturn, Mercury, and Jupiter turn direct after retrograde motion this month, generating a sense that things are moving forward.
There can be a strong sense of beginning anew, mainly related to friends and collaborations and the beginning steps involved with fulfilling a long-term dream.
Even with a tremendous focus on community and your place in the world, Venus is in your sign from the 7th, bringing you special and personal attention and encouraging you to be kinder to yourself. As October advances, your need to cocoon, heal, and catch your breath builds. It begins a period of wrapping up your solar year and making the most of reflection and private time.
Mars is assertive and energetic and moves through your social sector until the 30th. Mercury spends the month in the same sector but is retrograde until the 18th, and Mercury retrograde woes can be prominent when it meets Mars on the 7-9. Considering your limits is vital at this time. Practical considerations or obligations may seem to slow you down, but fixing problems now can lead to massive improvements or the discovery of a better way of doing things for future reference.
October can be a time of rallying for an important cause or excitement about new prospects, friendships, or ventures. It’s easy for you to get quite fired up about issues close to your heart this month. Your feelings about friends can also be more intense in October. All month, you are rather anxious to turn over a new leaf, excited about new ideas, and ready to put plans into motion. You’re willing to put more energy into personal enjoyment and your social life. There can be obstacles along the way, and the need to wait for more information is real until the 18th. Aim to keep the passion but ditch the impatience for best results.
New ideas are abundant, although not always easy to put in motion. Fortunately, those that survive after facing resistance or obstacles are likely solid and successful.
The month's New Moon on the 6th is a time of motivation, new hope, and beginnings related to friendship, business income, happiness goals, networks, and community or group involvement. It's best to allow time to receive and process new information along these lines. With its alignment to Mars and retrograde Mercury, this New Moon can come on strong and seem to demand a fast answer, yet all the information we want or need isn't yet available. Enthusiasm is strong and so can be competitiveness or aggression, so be mindful of your choices. If a change is necessary in friendship, this can be a time when the issue is forced. It can also be a time for getting the courage to reach out to someone.
Transits now can bring back an old problem to your attention. It's best to watch for a tendency to misconstrue situations or put a lot of energy into something you'll likely change your mind about later. You need time to scope things out, and you should take it.
Conversations begin to open up as October progresses, and you stand to either make a new connection that lasts in the long term or enhance the bond of an existing one. Projects gain some momentum. Your social life is lively and seems to go your way for the most part. There may be a reality check or a strong reminder of your need to pick up your socks with your daily affairs in the first half of the month, but you’ll quickly enjoy more structure to your communications, studies, and everyday happenings. Procrastination is taxing, and as you meet your goals and responsibilities more promptly, you feel more energetic and confident. You’re also in a high position to evaluate which of your interests, studies, and projects are genuinely worth your efforts.
Others might reinforce or supplement your ideas in pleasant ways. Connecting, mingling, chatting, and networking can encourage you or bring opportunities into your life. Contributions from others tend to be helpful or motivating. Learning with study groups can be beneficial, or you might acquire new knowledge or gain inspiration from groups with which you connect.
The motivation to pursue personal interests increases and you may return to old or abandoned dreams, studies, and plans with new excitement.
The Full Moon on the 20th can pull your attention to personal or independent creative projects and romance. There can be a romantic revelation, or your personal life and projects deserve some attention. Feelings are full and rich, and hard to ignore! Epiphanies occurring now are about where to find your joy. It’s a good time to celebrate your feelings, although tension can be strong.
While the Sun and Mars move into your privacy sector on the 23rd and 30th, respectively, you close the month with some excitement about learning new skills, or you might enjoy a conversation or a new interest. Compliments, positive reinforcement, acknowledgments, and other kind gestures are in favor. Finding a healthy balance between doing and resting is within reach.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:
October 2021 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
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 7th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From October 7th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All month:
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.
Mercury is retrograde from September 27th to October 18th:
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
Until the 30th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
From October 30th forward:
With Mars moving through your solar twelfth house, this is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing!
It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself.
Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:
October 2021 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Sagittarius (Born December 13 to 21) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Sagittarius:
October 2021 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2021
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.
From October 13th forward:
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.

Until October 26th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being.

Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
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 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 tenth and eleventh houses this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with friends, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and other professional matters, can be tricky. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking things regarding your life path, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures, children, and intimate partners during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
After the 18th, information blocks lift.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until October 15th:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
From October 15th forward:
Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.
As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

October 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
Your dreaming heart is beating strong in October, dear Sagittarius, with a powerful emphasis on your sector of hopes, wishes, and friends. Transits stir a focus on groups, associations, collaboration, networking, and attention to long-term projects.
Demands on your time can be big this month, and mostly pleasantly so, although you may need to pay special attention to managing your time effectively. You might be in the position of leader in a club or group or focusing quite happily on pursuing happiness goals. Pluto, Saturn, Mercury, and Jupiter turn direct after retrograde motion this month, generating a sense that things are moving forward.
There can be a strong sense of beginning anew, mainly related to friends and collaborations and the beginning steps involved with fulfilling a long-term dream.
Even with a tremendous focus on community and your place in the world, Venus is in your sign from the 7th, bringing you special and personal attention and encouraging you to be kinder to yourself. As October advances, your need to cocoon, heal, and catch your breath builds. It begins a period of wrapping up your solar year and making the most of reflection and private time.
Mars is assertive and energetic and moves through your social sector until the 30th. Mercury spends the month in the same sector but is retrograde until the 18th, and Mercury retrograde woes can be prominent when it meets Mars on the 7-9. Considering your limits is vital at this time. Practical considerations or obligations may seem to slow you down, but fixing problems now can lead to massive improvements or the discovery of a better way of doing things for future reference.
October can be a time of rallying for an important cause or excitement about new prospects, friendships, or ventures. It’s easy for you to get quite fired up about issues close to your heart this month. Your feelings about friends can also be more intense in October. All month, you are rather anxious to turn over a new leaf, excited about new ideas, and ready to put plans into motion. You’re willing to put more energy into personal enjoyment and your social life. There can be obstacles along the way, and the need to wait for more information is real until the 18th. Aim to keep the passion but ditch the impatience for best results.
New ideas are abundant, although not always easy to put in motion. Fortunately, those that survive after facing resistance or obstacles are likely solid and successful.
The month's New Moon on the 6th is a time of motivation, new hope, and beginnings related to friendship, business income, happiness goals, networks, and community or group involvement. It's best to allow time to receive and process new information along these lines. With its alignment to Mars and retrograde Mercury, this New Moon can come on strong and seem to demand a fast answer, yet all the information we want or need isn't yet available. Enthusiasm is strong and so can be competitiveness or aggression, so be mindful of your choices. If a change is necessary in friendship, this can be a time when the issue is forced. It can also be a time for getting the courage to reach out to someone.
Transits now can bring back an old problem to your attention. It's best to watch for a tendency to misconstrue situations or put a lot of energy into something you'll likely change your mind about later. You need time to scope things out, and you should take it.
Conversations begin to open up as October progresses, and you stand to either make a new connection that lasts in the long term or enhance the bond of an existing one. Projects gain some momentum. Your social life is lively and seems to go your way for the most part. There may be a reality check or a strong reminder of your need to pick up your socks with your daily affairs in the first half of the month, but you’ll quickly enjoy more structure to your communications, studies, and everyday happenings. Procrastination is taxing, and as you meet your goals and responsibilities more promptly, you feel more energetic and confident. You’re also in a high position to evaluate which of your interests, studies, and projects are genuinely worth your efforts.
Others might reinforce or supplement your ideas in pleasant ways. Connecting, mingling, chatting, and networking can encourage you or bring opportunities into your life. Contributions from others tend to be helpful or motivating. Learning with study groups can be beneficial, or you might acquire new knowledge or gain inspiration from groups with which you connect.
The motivation to pursue personal interests increases and you may return to old or abandoned dreams, studies, and plans with new excitement.
The Full Moon on the 20th can pull your attention to personal or independent creative projects and romance. There can be a romantic revelation, or your personal life and projects deserve some attention. Feelings are full and rich, and hard to ignore! Epiphanies occurring now are about where to find your joy. It’s a good time to celebrate your feelings, although tension can be strong.
While the Sun and Mars move into your privacy sector on the 23rd and 30th, respectively, you close the month with some excitement about learning new skills, or you might enjoy a conversation or a new interest. Compliments, positive reinforcement, acknowledgments, and other kind gestures are in favor. Finding a healthy balance between doing and resting is within reach.

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.
