Your Horoscope For October 2019

Destabilizing energy may find you questioning everything.
Your Horoscope For October 2019

Illustration, Kiki Ljung.

October kicks off with some destabilizing energy that may find you questioning everything. Be honest with yourself so that you can let go of what you’ve outgrown with the full moon on the 13th, but don’t have any illusions that it will be easy. This month is likely to bring the need for change to the fore—and all in time for Mercury retrograde, which starts on Halloween but will be felt gearing up about a week in advance.

Libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

The full moon in your relationship house on the 13th is likely to kick up the need for confrontation–not a Libran favorite. Be willing to prioritize authenticity over accommodation, and to do the work that true intimacy and collaboration requires. You don’t need things to be easy in order for them to be healthy, and balance isn’t only about peaceful feels. Step into the chaos, own your part, and seek healing in how you relate to the people you choose to keep in your life, my sweet friend.

Virgo

It’s time to tend to yourself, Virgo. Instead of looking for answers to your problems, strive to more deeply understand your problems themselves. If you improperly label your worries you’ll only succeed in further confusing yourself. Be brave enough to let things unfold without understanding every little thing and how it’s going to play out. Whenever you can, align yourself with the big picture and act in support of that this month.

Scorpio

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Things are changing all around you and it’s requiring you to make some serious changes, too. The key here is to allow things to be in a state of flux without assuming that they’ll stay this way. Think of October as that period when you’ve emptied all the contents of your closet out, and you now need to reprioritize and reorganize your suddenly messy room. This is a chance to change your life in a meaningful way, but it will require you to tolerate some things in disarray for a while.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Rules are enforced in spite of your feelings, while boundaries are because of them. Strive to show up for yourself in ways that honour your hearts desire, but also your needs and limitations, Sagittarius. October comes with some chaotic energy that will knock you off your centre if you're not careful. Seek independence and authenticity in ways that feed your life, even if that takes you on the path that looks riskier this month.

Capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

When you take on too much, it leaves you with no drive to complete your commitments. Take a break from your phone, take a walk in the woods, or just hide in bed for a weekend if you can, Capricorn. It’s not only okay to take breaks: it’s totally essential to stay healthy. One meaningful part of work is getting things done, but another, equally important part, is organizing your energy so that you can complete your tasks and have vitality to spare.

Aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Do you need the people in your life to understand you and where you’re coming from? This month you have choices to make around whether you need to slow down and share your process or if you are okay with people being confused by your actions. This is a bad time to abandon thoughts of collaboration, so whatever you do, make sure that you're not alienating others or leading them to feel like they don’t matter, my love.

Pisces

Feb. 19-March 20

It’s time to take some calculated risks, Pisces. Prioritize getting grounded and clear about the next steps in front of you because you can achieve what you set out this month—even if it seems like a long shot. You may need to honour your instincts over the counsel of others, and while that may create some upsets, you really can’t please everyone all the time. Honour your goals and do what needs to get done, my love.

Aries

March 21-April 19

It’s a delicate balance between taking on the stresses of the people around you and honouring the complexity of how you need to participate in your relationships. This month you may have to adjust your attitude or actions in response to your environment, but it’s an investment worth following through on. Find ways of supporting others without doing it at your own expense (or visa versa). Be the change you want to see in your relationships, Aries.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

How you respond to disappointments is so much more important than whatever is upsetting you at this moment. Don’t get so caught up in the story of your problems that you lose sight of your agency within them. October is the time for decisiveness, so here’s a pro tip to help you out: when you focus on scarcity, you don’t see all of the possibilities around you. Look for the evidence of abundance and potential, and orient yourself from there, Taurus.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

You need to change, Twin Star, and while that may be scary, or confusing even, it’s not a bad thing. The past several months have shown you new ways of being and offered you new ways of looking at life. Now it’s on you to actually integrate that wisdom into your thinking, and eventually your worldview, so that your actions better reflect the person you want to be. Step into the unknown with intention this month, my love.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Self-reliance isn’t equal to loneliness. The friendship that you have with yourself is foundational to all of your other relationships, Moonchild. If you can’t be attentive to your own needs and instincts, how can you really show up with others, and give them an honest chance at showing up for you? Don’t expect your loved ones to do more for you than you are doing for yourself this month; your best life starts within.

Leo

July 23-Aug. 22

AIf you allow yourself to act out in frustration you’ll only succeed in making matters less satisfying, Leo. This month is a powerful (if not kind of annoying) time to slow down and get grounded. If you can prioritize identifying the truth for you at this time you will shift your focus from looking for “the right answer” to the right answer for you. Practice having healthy boundaries with yourself so that you act in ways that reflect your hopes, and not your fears.
