If you’re in love with the spooky, gothic October aesthetic, it just means you’re in tune with the cosmos. The month begins with the Sun in beautiful, elegant, and irresistible Libra, bringing romance to the world.
Autumn is well underway, bringing a shade of darkness into the mix, making October a time to get in touch with your villainous side. If you’re not sure what that means, your October 2021 monthly horoscope will give you an astrological breakdown.
This month of October is particularly a haunting one and all thanks to the fact that the communication planet Mercury will be in retrograde until October 18. As Mercury retrogrades through relationship-oriented Libra, you may fall into more drama than usual.
If it’s hard to avoid deep-seated social conflicts, blame Mercury retrograde. Libra is all about keeping the peace and avoiding the elephant in the room, which makes this Mercury retrograde one that will rely on your ability to be direct rather than passive-aggressive.
However, once the Full Moon occurs in wild, primitive, and motivated Aries on October 20, it could set your deepest truth on fire. This Full Moon will be particularly volatile and intense, encouraging emotions to go haywire and your innate desires to manifest.
Let it fuel the fire that inspires your dedication to a meaningful cause. By the time the Scorpio season begins on October 23, you might find yourself feeling less inclined to maintain a perfect facade and more interested in putting your energy into whatever it is that matters to you.
Scorpio is the zodiac sign for commitment, boundaries, and intimacy, which will help you define what is truly important to you. Scorpio is all about coming to terms with the fact that everything ends up coming to an end, but that only paves the way for a fresh start.
Let this transformative new era help you tap into your inner witch and show you what you’re really made of. Here is what each zodiac sign will go through this October:
Table of Contents
Aries:
Your relationships take center stage this month. Recurring conflicts and patterns can present themselves, forcing you to finally consider the decisions you make with others and the roles you take on.
In the second half of the month, you may be drawing boundaries and defining your understanding of intimacy. Be honest with yourself about what you need from others, especially emotionally. Don’t sell your needs short.
Taurus:
You might become more aware of what your body needs this month.
Balancing your need for rest, productivity, and nourishment is a slippery slope, so take the time to work on developing a routine that helps you take care of yourself in a meaningful way.
It can be tempting to sacrifice your own needs for someone else’s sake, but by the end of the month, you’ll learn that there are always times when it’s important to put yourself first.
Gemini:
This month, your creativity will be overflowing.
The urge to express yourself and play with color, romance, and poetry will beat within you, encouraging you to overcome your artistic blockages and remember what it means to be alive.
Learning to have fun is necessary when it comes to learning how to put in a solid effort.
One cannot exist without the other, so consider treating yourself after a long day at work.
Cancer:
You may feel the desire to connect more deeply to your roots this month. Your heart may pull you to a place that feels familiar to you; a place where you feel at home.
However, this feeling of “home” takes time, commitment, and effort.
Remember to nurture your vision of security. Safety is at the heart of your ability to take risks. Don’t underestimate your need for a place that makes you feel like you are where you are meant to be.

Leo:
You can feel a spark of electricity this month. This electricity encourages you to learn new things, stimulate your mind, and connect with people who develop your ideas. Explore your neighborhood a bit.
Introduce yourself to the person you see every day, but still don’t know. Getting to know the environment around you will show you where home lies.
It will help you to strengthen your position in the reality that you have created for yourself.
Virgo:
This month is all about feeling the earth beneath you. Remember what supports you.
Remember the safety nets that protect you when you slip, and the luxury you create for yourself when all else fails.
Don’t underestimate your ability to make your world more beautiful. Being more grounded in the present moment will show you so many new things. Instead of ruminating on the past or imagining the future, live in the present.
Libra:
You might be thinking a lot about who you are this month.
With the Sun in your first house of self, the various hats you wear and the personas you take on will reveal themselves to you, showing you the energy you are exuding.
Experiment with different sides of yourself, but don’t feel like you have to settle for less and make a permanent decision about your brand. As Walt Whitman once said, “I am large, I contain multitudes.”
Scorpio:
This month is all about digging deep into your psyche and exploring the confines of your spirituality. Your dreams can come alive, as can your need for soul-searching.
Instead of running away from your feelings and deleting your memories, let them show you other meanings.
It’s time to get to know yourself inside out, for there is a treasure trove of truth in the subconscious that you might forget to use.

Sagittarius:
You may feel compelled to experiment with your ability to reach out to others.
Your impact and effects on the world you live in can be called into question, encouraging you to rethink your position in the communities in which you are involved.
However, socializing and navigating a network of relationships may leave little room for a break. Be sure to prioritize your need for alone time and inner peace along the way.
Capricorn:
Your outward goals will be on your mind this month. You may feel a stronger desire to achieve the level of notoriety that you desire, which prompts you to put your name out there and market yourself accordingly.
Modesty has its place, but there is a fine line between that and restraint. Find the courage to let the world know exactly what you are capable of.
Aquarius:
This month will reveal to you how big the world is. Much of this remains unexplored, and if you feel like monotony and limitations have guided your reality, it’s time to shake things up and take risks with new things.
Allow your belief systems to develop, especially your beliefs about yourself and the world around you. In order to understand what you really want to accomplish, you need to be aware of how much you still have to accomplish.
Pisces:
You might be facing your deepest fears this month. These fears can play a role in your relationships, as well as in your understanding of your true power.
The cosmos encourages you to take back the reins, set firm limits, and tap into your willpower.
Sometimes you have to let go of the dead weight in your life before a feeling of freedom can come. Don’t be afraid to let go of something you’ve outgrown.
