Overview for this Month: Sagittarius (All)
October 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
The month is expected to be busy and rewarding, dear Sagittarius, with a quieter, more reflective theme building as October advances. As you begin October, you can be quite focused on matters outside of yourself — your social life, work, and business.
Two big themes for you this month seem to clash, but surprisingly don't conflict often: you're increasingly seeking out some personal time but also in an excellent position to shine on professional and public levels. Somehow, your professional and personal ambitions cooperate, and you can both secure a strong position in your work and get quality time as you work on your projects independently.
Venus boosts your reputation and enjoyment of your duties from the 8th forward, as it moves to the top of your chart. It's a fine time to explore your passions, especially in the material world, and to gain the support or approval of others, particularly higher-ups. You can be brimming with ideas about a new work project. Others noticing your efforts, hard work, or contributions can encourage you to do your best. Your efforts to improve your routines reflect well in your output.
October is a strong month for your social life. You may be redefining certain friendships or seeing friends in a radically different light. You can be particularly committed to learning new skills, studies, and personal interests this month — putting in more effort than usual and reaping the rewards. It's a time to connect, chat, mingle, or network, and these things can bring you opportunities. Good news, contacts, and conversations can lift your spirits. Feeling unusually hopeful about a goal or idea can boost your mood. You are in a fantastic position to brainstorm, team up, collaborate, and share ideas and plans, perhaps making them better or simply enjoying the process.
Mercury in Libra from the 4th to the 22nd is valuable for networking. Mercury performs well in this area of your chart, strengthening your connections to others. You're picking up good ideas like a sponge at this time.
Money matters previously stuck or stalling can clear up from the 10th forward. Fears about insufficient resources may have been subtly driving your behavior in recent months while Pluto retrograded in your solar second house. Ideally, you've also taken the time to explore your deeper needs related to finances, self-esteem, and self-sufficiency. Now, as Pluto turns direct, you feel more empowered to make significant changes.
Listen to your intuition mid-month. A friendship may begin or end, or the need for a fresh start becomes obvious.
Increasingly, you value time to yourself, what with Mars moving into your privacy sector on the 12th and then both the Sun and Mercury following suit on the 22nd to 23rd. Mars in this area of your solar chart indicates a more subdued "you," which is great if you need time to digest, process, and reorient yourself.
A lot is happening behind the scenes, and perhaps a strong urge or need to talk about the past. Low energy levels may emerge now, and slowing down makes sense. It's an excellent time to actively and confidently seek out time for yourself or for healing and renewal. Endeavors in private or behind the scenes tend to figure strongly and thrive. Buried or neglected issues can demand your attention, and working on these can pave the road to future success and happiness.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 28th is powerful for a culmination related to work or health that has been in the pipeline for a couple of years. There can be a nice release or final word on a matter. This happens during a cycle of increased attention to your emotional world, which nudges you toward finding just the right work-rest balance. The focus should be on physical and mental health, which becomes especially obvious if you've prioritized either over the other. Health or work matters can reach an important turning point. If your work or daily regimens have become too monotonous and have taken a toll on your spirits, circumstances occurring now push you to make needed changes.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:
October 2023 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 23rd:
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.
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 eleventh house, suggesting that a new approach to friendships or new friendships altogether, a new path towards happiness and fulfillment, new associations or affiliations, or plenty of social activity are in store for you. You may see the light in a friendship, realizing its importance in general, as well as the importance of acceptance and camaraderie. Circumstances may be such that you bring a new spirit of friendship into a romance or other connection in the next months. This can be invigorating.

Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues 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. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 8th:
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 9th forward:
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.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until October 4th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
From October 5-21:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
From October 22nd forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 11th:
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 the 12th 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.

October 2023 Sagittarius 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 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.

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 30th forward:
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.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until October 16th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
From October 16th forward:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
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.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
The month is expected to be busy and rewarding, dear Sagittarius, with a quieter, more reflective theme building as October advances. As you begin October, you can be quite focused on matters outside of yourself — your social life, work, and business.
Two big themes for you this month seem to clash, but surprisingly don't conflict often: you're increasingly seeking out some personal time but also in an excellent position to shine on professional and public levels. Somehow, your professional and personal ambitions cooperate, and you can both secure a strong position in your work and get quality time as you work on your projects independently.
Venus boosts your reputation and enjoyment of your duties from the 8th forward, as it moves to the top of your chart. It's a fine time to explore your passions, especially in the material world, and to gain the support or approval of others, particularly higher-ups. You can be brimming with ideas about a new work project. Others noticing your efforts, hard work, or contributions can encourage you to do your best. Your efforts to improve your routines reflect well in your output.
October is a strong month for your social life. You may be redefining certain friendships or seeing friends in a radically different light. You can be particularly committed to learning new skills, studies, and personal interests this month — putting in more effort than usual and reaping the rewards. It's a time to connect, chat, mingle, or network, and these things can bring you opportunities. Good news, contacts, and conversations can lift your spirits. Feeling unusually hopeful about a goal or idea can boost your mood. You are in a fantastic position to brainstorm, team up, collaborate, and share ideas and plans, perhaps making them better or simply enjoying the process.
Mercury in Libra from the 4th to the 22nd is valuable for networking. Mercury performs well in this area of your chart, strengthening your connections to others. You're picking up good ideas like a sponge at this time.
Money matters previously stuck or stalling can clear up from the 10th forward. Fears about insufficient resources may have been subtly driving your behavior in recent months while Pluto retrograded in your solar second house. Ideally, you've also taken the time to explore your deeper needs related to finances, self-esteem, and self-sufficiency. Now, as Pluto turns direct, you feel more empowered to make significant changes.
Listen to your intuition mid-month. A friendship may begin or end, or the need for a fresh start becomes obvious.
Increasingly, you value time to yourself, what with Mars moving into your privacy sector on the 12th and then both the Sun and Mercury following suit on the 22nd to 23rd. Mars in this area of your solar chart indicates a more subdued "you," which is great if you need time to digest, process, and reorient yourself.
A lot is happening behind the scenes, and perhaps a strong urge or need to talk about the past. Low energy levels may emerge now, and slowing down makes sense. It's an excellent time to actively and confidently seek out time for yourself or for healing and renewal. Endeavors in private or behind the scenes tend to figure strongly and thrive. Buried or neglected issues can demand your attention, and working on these can pave the road to future success and happiness.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 28th is powerful for a culmination related to work or health that has been in the pipeline for a couple of years. There can be a nice release or final word on a matter. This happens during a cycle of increased attention to your emotional world, which nudges you toward finding just the right work-rest balance. The focus should be on physical and mental health, which becomes especially obvious if you've prioritized either over the other. Health or work matters can reach an important turning point. If your work or daily regimens have become too monotonous and have taken a toll on your spirits, circumstances occurring now push you to make needed changes.

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.
