The Libra Solar Eclipse at the start of the month gives us all a glorious opportunity to reset our relationships, however, with Mercury in the mix, sharpening up our listening skills is going to be a major part of the equation. And yet, stern Saturn sits in a Quincunx to this powerful lunation, and old issues, deep seated emotional patterns and previous unhappy relationships, may need to be fully released to embrace this opportunity.

Monthly Horoscopes for October 2024
Aries 21 March - 20 April
Some serious developments around your relationships are possible this month, Aries. This could see you have a connection with someone who really captures your imagination, and you might become smitten. Then again, the link can be as a friend or a colleague. If however, any involvement has not been working so smoothly, October will be the time when you need to grapple with this. Choose your words with care, as Jupiter rewinds from the 9th, and be aware the last week may see a stubborn stand off.
Taurus 21 April - 21 May
Being an earth sign, you understand more than most, that things need to stack up in a practical way. And if there's any part of your world which is not quite as tickety-boo as it could be, October is a fine month to grapple with this. Your ruler gives you support, insofar as if you need to work closely with others, you can build the goodwill to get their help too. However, your love of luxuries may need some care. The last part of the month is the time to build up co-operation, but someone may seem unhelpful late on.
Gemini 22 May - 21 June
The fun side of you is activated early in October Gemini, and this can see you keen to mix and mingle, and enjoy socialising. Your ruler Mercury is adding sparkle to proceedings, and that part of you that can be mischievous but also great company, is to the fore. Yet work or worldly responsibilities will probably call out to you too, and practicalities become the focus in the last ten days. You may though encounter someone in the last week who proves very hard to resist!
Cancer 22 June - 23 July
Your home, family and emotional worlds, always important, are set to take on even greater appeal this October. As Jupiter rewinds, you may find yourself nostalgic and drawn to reminisce. But as the Sun moves to Scorpio, a more outgoing mood mode can take hold. But if you feel someone is taking liberties as the month winds down, you might surprise yourself by just how assertive you are in response. This will be particularly so if you believe they're taking your goodwill for granted.
Leo 24 July - 23 August
Whatever ideas or plans you have, your enthusiasm can be infectious this month. All this extra verve may feed into the pace of life, which could prove frenetic. Ironically, some friendships might hold less appeal, as you find yourself gripped with the core plans you have. You'll get a chance to grab a breather later on Leo, when home plans that have drifted could grab your imagination. An old, sensitive issue can come up in the last week. It's going to be important not to be defensive.
Virgo 24 August - 23 September
You can use your natural analytical skills to great effect this month Virgo, with your guide planet Mercury playing a leading role. In fact, all through October, your mind may be whizzing with possibilities. It might be that someone sees a financial or business matter differently however, and if so, it will be important to stay with the big picture. Although your grasp of details is legendary, keep a little bit of a distance, so you can see all the angles they may have too.
Libra 24 September - 23 October
You're often so astute at leaning into other people's needs and situations, but the Solar Eclipse in your sign, is a very special celestial opportunity to take centre stage and seize the moment. If you do, the next six months can be a time of personal realisation. Your energy, confidence and public standing could all increase, and you may achieve greater acclaim. Should fortune or finances head your way, this might see you looking to make some significant home changes as the month ends.
Scorpio 24 October - 22 November
You're the zodiac's, so say some, deepest sign. But you can also be very direct when you make observations about others. However, your archetype of quiet reflection may certainly show up early this month. Maybe there are some strands and situations that you need to think about, but once you have, you'll be primed ready to get moving. Mark the 22nd of October in your diary, because you'll move into the moment and get more on the front foot. You could find yourself particularly assertive during the last week.
Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December
Your friendships are often fluid. You need space, but are happy to give that to others too. But there is one person in your circle who can become a key player in the next six months, provided they really understand the sides of you that have been developing in recent years, which have more of an emotional dimension. But as October unfolds, the converse may be true. People that you've got on well with, but who you're not feeling a deeper connection with, could make way. A big ticket item may draw you late on.
Capricorn 22 December - 20 January
Yours is a sign associated with patient application, which eventually brings you success. And this month and the following half year, can be a time when you could achieve a major goal. Yet this will likely require you to be bold, interact more with the movers and shakers, and be as self-assured as possible. If there's a quieter, perhaps more reserved side of your nature, try to go beyond this to seize the prize. In love, a very powerful attraction is possible in the last week of October.
Aquarius 21 January - 19 February
That side of you that enjoys challenges, expansion and travel, is much to the fore this month, Aquarius. Yet if you're one of those Water Bearers happier in more settled routines, you're urged to push out beyond these. Variety really can be the spice of life, and whether it's around your personal interests or work, being open to change could prime the way to bring greater stimulation and excitement into your world. Signing up for a course, changing jobs or visiting somewhere new, may all inspire.
Pisces 20 February - 20 March
Your ruler Jupiter begins its annual four month retrograde from the 9th October, and this can see you thinking deeply about your family history, roots or where you live. If you've ever been drawn towards genealogy, this may really grip you as the month goes on. So might an online course. A big transformation is possible in the next half year, and surface interactions will hold much less appeal. You want to understand life's deeper meanings and their significance to you.
