Horoscope on October 6, 2018
Aquarius
A Mercury-Pluto square on October 2 challenges your thinking and could bring up some uncomfortable things you haven’t wanted to think about in a while, Aquarius. The deeper into your psyche you go, the darker it could get, but shining a light on what’s in there will benefit you in the long run. Your mind goes a mile a minute during the Mercury-Uranus opposition on the tenth, and you could hop from one idea to the next without thinking through the details. Use your nervous energy to get projects and plans off the ground, but count on other people to help see them through if you’re having a hard time staying focused. The Mercury-Mars square on October 19 could cause friction in a close relationship, especially since you’re much more intent on talking than listening. Communication is a two-way street, and you’ll benefit from keeping that in mind. You might feel like something exciting is on the horizon during the sun-Uranus opposition of the twenty-third, and not knowing what it could be is half the fun. Try to channel any strange energy you feel into something constructive.
Aries
A new moon in Libra on October 8 gives you the new start you’ve been looking for. This transit offers you a much-needed sense of balance to help you find your footing, Aries. Take any help that’s offered as you start your new journey. A Venus-Mars square on the tenth could cause issues between you and a friend or co-worker, especially when a little friendly competition is involved. You always play to win, but be careful not to let your competitive spirit overtake your good sportsmanship. A Mercury-Venus conjunction on October 15 means you can talk almost anyone into almost anything, so it’s a great time to go shopping! It wouldn’t be surprising if you walked away with the deal of a lifetime. The sun enters intense Scorpio on the twenty-third, at which point you feel the full power and confidence of the sign that shares your aggressive ruler Mars. What do you want the most? Now is the time to go out there and get it. Mercury enters adventurous Sagittarius on October 31, urging you to express your grand ideas. Do you have a solid plan that will get you from point A to point B? Probably not, but right now spontaneity is the best part of the trip.
Cancer
Venus turns retrograde on October 5, putting various projects on hold and sending your love life into a bit of a tailspin. You know that situation you thought you had figured out? Guess again, Cancer. A sun-Pluto square on the twelfth highlights your need to be in control, but that won’t always be possible. Watch out for ego conflicts, especially with people in positions of authority like parents or employers. A Mercury-Venus conjunction on October 15 helps you express some of the romantic thoughts you’ve been keeping to yourself. Once they’re out there, you’ll probably wonder why you never said them out loud before. Remember this feeling if you ever feel shy or hesitant again. The sun enters fellow water sign Scorpio on the twenty-third, so you’ll feel the emotional intensity right away. Your intention is getting to the bottom of things, and superficial or trivial matters really don’t concern you.
Capricorn
A new Libra moon on October 8 gets your month off to a balanced beginning. This is a great neutral jumping-off point for work projects, personal growth, and new relationships, Capricorn. Venus turns retrograde on the fifth and squares off with Mars on the tenth, which creates some difficult energy within a close relationship. Sexual tension could intensify in a romantic entanglement, or a friendship may suffer from control issues. Either way, it’s necessary for the two of you to get something out of the way before you can move forward with your relationship. If you don’t address it now, you might never get past it. You have good judgment during the Mercury-Saturn sextile on October 12, and you tend to make honest and practical decisions under its steady influence. Discussions are serious and to the point, but you always find a way to get in a clever pun or witty reply. A sun-Saturn sextile on the twenty-seventh emphasizes your strong work ethic and gives you the energy and determination to get the job done. You’re serious, so you aren’t interested in working with people who don’t take their job seriously. You’d much rather do something on your own than be surrounded by a team that cares less about the project you’re working on than you do.
Gemini
The Mercury-Pluto square on October 2 forces you to do some deep thinking and could lead to some extreme thoughts and ideas. Remember, Gemini, radical changes should be gradual. Mercury enters investigative Scorpio on the ninth, encouraging you to use whatever resources necessary to find out valuable information about someone or something you’re interested in. Your curious mind isn’t easily satisfied, so you’ll have to dig deep to find what you’re looking for. A Mercury-Mars square on October 19 could give you a short temper, especially if you feel rushed into a decision. No one knows what you want better than you do, so don’t let anyone pressure you into doing things their way. There’s more time than you think. The sun-Saturn sextile on the twenty-seventh gives you the patience you need to see things through, making it the perfect time to finish a project that’s been on hold. Visualization techniques can help you if you feel stagnant or unsure of how to proceed.
Leo
The sun is in fair-minded, relationship-focused Libra as the month opens, which means compromise, negotiation and meeting other people halfway will be your number one priority. Decision-making can be challenging, but your ability to weigh the positives against the negatives helps you make the right choice eventually. The Libra sun squares intense Pluto on October 12, at which point you might look to uncover some deep, dark mysteries. Here’s the thing though, Leo, don’t look for something if you’re unsure of what you might find. Some things are just better undiscovered. The mood gets a lot more intense when the sun enters Scorpio’s emotional turf on the twenty-third, so people might get the “death stare” if they approach you the wrong way. To say you’re sensitive is an understatement. The sun-Uranus opposition that same day could bring unexpected and/or unwanted changes, and your first instinct might be to reject them without even finding out what they’re all about. Looking at things from a different perspective will help if you can find a way to step outside of how they personally affect you.
Libra
When Venus turns retrograde on October 5, it’s time to reassess and reevaluate. Since Venus is associated with love and money, these are great places to start. Are your love life and financial situation as healthy as they could be? Explore your options. The new moon in your sign on the eighth urges you to start something new, especially a friendship. Exchange contact info with people who share your interests. The full moon in Taurus on October 24 is a time of completion, helping you bring things to their natural conclusion. It’s hard to let go of a close relationship or investment, but it’s also important to acknowledge that not everything is meant to last forever. Most things have an expiration date. A Venus-Saturn sextile that same day is a good reminder that patience and perseverance pay off, but so does a good work ethic. Don’t sit back and wait for things to happen, Libra. Hard work ensures a valuable payoff. Venus enters your sign on the thirty-first, so you’re very willing to accommodate other people’s wishes and compromise to keep the peace. What about your needs, though? Don’t forget about those.
Pisces
When loving Venus reverses into a retrograde cycle on October 5, you could take it especially hard, Pisces. The last thing you usually want to do is face the cold, hard reality of any given situation, but try to look at this downturn as a chance for growth. A sun-Pluto square on the twelfth could bring crisis and drama, causing you to do something extremely out of character. If acting calmly isn’t an option, reach out to someone close to you. They’ll know how to help. A Mercury-Neptune trine on October 19 stimulates your sense of creativity and opens some interesting doors. Sometimes you feel you’re happiest when the lines between reality and fantasy are blurred. The sun moves into kindred water sign Scorpio on the twenty-third, intensifying your emotional experiences. You aren’t interested in spending time with anyone who isn’t willing to be 100 percent real with you. Honesty is everything. A Venus-Uranus opposition on October 31 signals a change in your love life, and not necessarily for the better. Freedom is the theme of this transit, but the rules are up to you. Just make sure everyone who’s playing along knows what they are.
Sagittarius
Getting through the Venus retrograde cycle that begins on October 5 is only a matter of patience, Sagittarius. You’re a fire sign who wants to go, go, go, but a retrograde period is a time to slow down and reflect. Use your downtime to go over money matters that need your attention. A Mercury-Uranus opposition on the tenth quickens the pace, however, and your busy schedule has you running around town without any time to spare. You love this upbeat tempo, but if you overlook some of the details it could come back to bite you later. The fast pace continues during the Mercury-Mars square on October 19, but this time hurrying communication issues could end in disaster. Are you sure your text went through or that you didn’t send an e-mail peppered with typos to your boss? Again, Sagittarius, the details matter. A Mercury-Jupiter conjunction on the twenty-ninth helps you combine work and play, and the harder you work, the more fun you have. Is this the magical combination you’ve been looking for? Following your bliss has never been more lucrative!
Scorpio
Communicative Mercury forms a square to your co-ruler, Pluto, on October 2 before moving into your sign a week later. You could experience some extremely intense social interactions during the square that blow away even you. When someone impresses you with their words or actions, you’re definitely surprised. Mercury in your sign on the ninth allows conversations to reach a very deep and intimate level. The more you find out, the more you want to know. The sun-Pluto square on October 12 could uncover some deep psychological issues that you aren’t quite ready to deal with. It’s okay to wait until you’re more comfortable to reveal anything deeply personal. Just remember that the people you’ve chosen to surround yourself with are on your side. The sun enters your amazingly confident sign on the twenty-third, so accomplishing the impossible might be an option for you. Your talents and abilities can get you far, so don’t be afraid to take the first step toward greatness. A full moon in Taurus on October 24 intensifies your strong-willed personality, making it an excellent time to push a project through to completion. You know those barricades that have been in your way? You’re about to plow right through them!
Taurus
Venus is your power planet, so what does it mean for you when she turns retrograde, starting on October 5? It isn’t a good time to start anything new, Taurus, especially if it’s related to money. Try to postpone making new investments or starting business ventures. Venus squares powerful Mars on the tenth, so you’ll have to pay close attention to friction and stress within your existing relationship. Is there something you need to get out into the open? Revealing past transgressions isn’t easy, but it can do wonders for a current relationship (platonic or romantic). The sun enters intense Scorpio on October 23, which feels a little like diving into the deep end without a life preserver anywhere in sight. Just let the tears or laughter flow instead of trying to control your emotions (because you might not be able to anyway). The moon is full in your sign the very next day, creating a great balance to the Scorpio sun. This is a good time to indulge the senses – taste, touch, feel, smell, and listen to everything.
Virgo
Your home planet of Mercury is busy this month, Virgo, starting with a frustrating square to moody Pluto on October 2. When you want to know something badly enough, you’ll use any means necessary, which could lead to unwanted consequences. Avoid using underhanded or manipulative tactics. Luckily, the Mercury-Venus conjunction on the fifteenth is a lot more optimistic, and it promotes open and honest communication (especially between you and the people you love). You may not be able to say everything that’s on your mind, but at least you feel free and comfortable enough to express most of what’s in your heart. A Mercury-Pluto sextile on October 22 mixes your knack for communicating with your sense of intuition and turns it into a winning combination. You can be very persuasive now, so it’s a good time to get exactly what you want. A Mercury-Jupiter conjunction on the twenty-ninth puts you in a happy frame of mind, and for the first time in a while, you feel like everything is going to be okay. The future looks bright!

You love this upbeat tempo, but if you overlook some of the details it could come back to bite you later. The fast pace continues during the Mercury-Mars square on October 19, but this time hurrying communication issues could end in disaster. Are you sure your text went through or that you didn’t send an e-mail peppered with typos to your boss? Again, Sagittarius, the details matter. A Mercury-Jupiter conjunction on the twenty-ninth helps you combine work and play, and the harder you work, the more fun you have. Is this the magical combination you’ve been looking for? Following your bliss has never been more lucrative!
Scorpio
Communicative Mercury forms a square to your co-ruler, Pluto, on October 2 before moving into your sign a week later. You could experience some extremely intense social interactions during the square that blow away even you. When someone impresses you with their words or actions, you’re definitely surprised. Mercury in your sign on the ninth allows conversations to reach a very deep and intimate level. The more you find out, the more you want to know. The sun-Pluto square on October 12 could uncover some deep psychological issues that you aren’t quite ready to deal with. It’s okay to wait until you’re more comfortable to reveal anything deeply personal. Just remember that the people you’ve chosen to surround yourself with are on your side. The sun enters your amazingly confident sign on the twenty-third, so accomplishing the impossible might be an option for you. Your talents and abilities can get you far, so don’t be afraid to take the first step toward greatness. A full moon in Taurus on October 24 intensifies your strong-willed personality, making it an excellent time to push a project through to completion. You know those barricades that have been in your way? You’re about to plow right through them!
Taurus
Venus is your power planet, so what does it mean for you when she turns retrograde, starting on October 5? It isn’t a good time to start anything new, Taurus, especially if it’s related to money. Try to postpone making new investments or starting business ventures. Venus squares powerful Mars on the tenth, so you’ll have to pay close attention to friction and stress within your existing relationship. Is there something you need to get out into the open? Revealing past transgressions isn’t easy, but it can do wonders for a current relationship (platonic or romantic). The sun enters intense Scorpio on October 23, which feels a little like diving into the deep end without a life preserver anywhere in sight. Just let the tears or laughter flow instead of trying to control your emotions (because you might not be able to anyway). The moon is full in your sign the very next day, creating a great balance to the Scorpio sun. This is a good time to indulge the senses – taste, touch, feel, smell, and listen to everything.
Virgo
Your home planet of Mercury is busy this month, Virgo, starting with a frustrating square to moody Pluto on October 2. When you want to know something badly enough, you’ll use any means necessary, which could lead to unwanted consequences. Avoid using underhanded or manipulative tactics. Luckily, the Mercury-Venus conjunction on the fifteenth is a lot more optimistic, and it promotes open and honest communication (especially between you and the people you love). You may not be able to say everything that’s on your mind, but at least you feel free and comfortable enough to express most of what’s in your heart. A Mercury-Pluto sextile on October 22 mixes your knack for communicating with your sense of intuition and turns it into a winning combination. You can be very persuasive now, so it’s a good time to get exactly what you want. A Mercury-Jupiter conjunction on the twenty-ninth puts you in a happy frame of mind, and for the first time in a while, you feel like everything is going to be okay. The future looks bright!
Horoscope on July 1, 2018
Aquarius
A Mercury-Pluto square on October 2 challenges your thinking and could bring up some uncomfortable things you haven’t wanted to think about in a while, Aquarius. The deeper into your psyche you go, the darker it could get, but shining a light on what’s in there will benefit you in the long run. Your mind goes a mile a minute during the Mercury-Uranus opposition on the tenth, and you could hop from one idea to the next without thinking through the details. Use your nervous energy to get projects and plans off the ground, but count on other people to help see them through if you’re having a hard time staying focused. The Mercury-Mars square on October 19 could cause friction in a close relationship, especially since you’re much more intent on talking than listening. Communication is a two-way street, and you’ll benefit from keeping that in mind. You might feel like something exciting is on the horizon during the sun-Uranus opposition of the twenty-third, and not knowing what it could be is half the fun. Try to channel any strange energy you feel into something constructive.
Aries
A new moon in Libra on October 8 gives you the new start you’ve been looking for. This transit offers you a much-needed sense of balance to help you find your footing, Aries. Take any help that’s offered as you start your new journey. A Venus-Mars square on the tenth could cause issues between you and a friend or co-worker, especially when a little friendly competition is involved. You always play to win, but be careful not to let your competitive spirit overtake your good sportsmanship. A Mercury-Venus conjunction on October 15 means you can talk almost anyone into almost anything, so it’s a great time to go shopping! It wouldn’t be surprising if you walked away with the deal of a lifetime. The sun enters intense Scorpio on the twenty-third, at which point you feel the full power and confidence of the sign that shares your aggressive ruler Mars. What do you want the most? Now is the time to go out there and get it. Mercury enters adventurous Sagittarius on October 31, urging you to express your grand ideas. Do you have a solid plan that will get you from point A to point B? Probably not, but right now spontaneity is the best part of the trip.
Cancer
Venus turns retrograde on October 5, putting various projects on hold and sending your love life into a bit of a tailspin. You know that situation you thought you had figured out? Guess again, Cancer. A sun-Pluto square on the twelfth highlights your need to be in control, but that won’t always be possible. Watch out for ego conflicts, especially with people in positions of authority like parents or employers. A Mercury-Venus conjunction on October 15 helps you express some of the romantic thoughts you’ve been keeping to yourself. Once they’re out there, you’ll probably wonder why you never said them out loud before. Remember this feeling if you ever feel shy or hesitant again. The sun enters fellow water sign Scorpio on the twenty-third, so you’ll feel the emotional intensity right away. Your intention is getting to the bottom of things, and superficial or trivial matters really don’t concern you.
Capricorn
A new Libra moon on October 8 gets your month off to a balanced beginning. This is a great neutral jumping-off point for work projects, personal growth, and new relationships, Capricorn. Venus turns retrograde on the fifth and squares off with Mars on the tenth, which creates some difficult energy within a close relationship. Sexual tension could intensify in a romantic entanglement, or a friendship may suffer from control issues. Either way, it’s necessary for the two of you to get something out of the way before you can move forward with your relationship. If you don’t address it now, you might never get past it. You have good judgment during the Mercury-Saturn sextile on October 12, and you tend to make honest and practical decisions under its steady influence. Discussions are serious and to the point, but you always find a way to get in a clever pun or witty reply. A sun-Saturn sextile on the twenty-seventh emphasizes your strong work ethic and gives you the energy and determination to get the job done. You’re serious, so you aren’t interested in working with people who don’t take their job seriously. You’d much rather do something on your own than be surrounded by a team that cares less about the project you’re working on than you do.
Gemini
The Mercury-Pluto square on October 2 forces you to do some deep thinking and could lead to some extreme thoughts and ideas. Remember, Gemini, radical changes should be gradual. Mercury enters investigative Scorpio on the ninth, encouraging you to use whatever resources necessary to find out valuable information about someone or something you’re interested in. Your curious mind isn’t easily satisfied, so you’ll have to dig deep to find what you’re looking for. A Mercury-Mars square on October 19 could give you a short temper, especially if you feel rushed into a decision. No one knows what you want better than you do, so don’t let anyone pressure you into doing things their way. There’s more time than you think. The sun-Saturn sextile on the twenty-seventh gives you the patience you need to see things through, making it the perfect time to finish a project that’s been on hold. Visualization techniques can help you if you feel stagnant or unsure of how to proceed.
Leo
The sun is in fair-minded, relationship-focused Libra as the month opens, which means compromise, negotiation and meeting other people halfway will be your number one priority. Decision-making can be challenging, but your ability to weigh the positives against the negatives helps you make the right choice eventually. The Libra sun squares intense Pluto on October 12, at which point you might look to uncover some deep, dark mysteries. Here’s the thing though, Leo, don’t look for something if you’re unsure of what you might find. Some things are just better undiscovered. The mood gets a lot more intense when the sun enters Scorpio’s emotional turf on the twenty-third, so people might get the “death stare” if they approach you the wrong way. To say you’re sensitive is an understatement. The sun-Uranus opposition that same day could bring unexpected and/or unwanted changes, and your first instinct might be to reject them without even finding out what they’re all about. Looking at things from a different perspective will help if you can find a way to step outside of how they personally affect you.
Libra
When Venus turns retrograde on October 5, it’s time to reassess and reevaluate. Since Venus is associated with love and money, these are great places to start. Are your love life and financial situation as healthy as they could be? Explore your options. The new moon in your sign on the eighth urges you to start something new, especially a friendship. Exchange contact info with people who share your interests. The full moon in Taurus on October 24 is a time of completion, helping you bring things to their natural conclusion. It’s hard to let go of a close relationship or investment, but it’s also important to acknowledge that not everything is meant to last forever. Most things have an expiration date. A Venus-Saturn sextile that same day is a good reminder that patience and perseverance pay off, but so does a good work ethic. Don’t sit back and wait for things to happen, Libra. Hard work ensures a valuable payoff. Venus enters your sign on the thirty-first, so you’re very willing to accommodate other people’s wishes and compromise to keep the peace. What about your needs, though? Don’t forget about those.
Pisces
When loving Venus reverses into a retrograde cycle on October 5, you could take it especially hard, Pisces. The last thing you usually want to do is face the cold, hard reality of any given situation, but try to look at this downturn as a chance for growth. A sun-Pluto square on the twelfth could bring crisis and drama, causing you to do something extremely out of character. If acting calmly isn’t an option, reach out to someone close to you. They’ll know how to help. A Mercury-Neptune trine on October 19 stimulates your sense of creativity and opens some interesting doors. Sometimes you feel you’re happiest when the lines between reality and fantasy are blurred. The sun moves into kindred water sign Scorpio on the twenty-third, intensifying your emotional experiences. You aren’t interested in spending time with anyone who isn’t willing to be 100 percent real with you. Honesty is everything. A Venus-Uranus opposition on October 31 signals a change in your love life, and not necessarily for the better. Freedom is the theme of this transit, but the rules are up to you. Just make sure everyone who’s playing along knows what they are.
Sagittarius
Getting through the Venus retrograde cycle that begins on October 5 is only a matter of patience, Sagittarius. You’re a fire sign who wants to go, go, go, but a retrograde period is a time to slow down and reflect. Use your downtime to go over money matters that need your attention. A Mercury-Uranus opposition on the tenth quickens the pace, however, and your busy schedule has you running around town without any time to spare. You love this upbeat tempo, but if you overlook some of the details it could come back to bite you later. The fast pace continues during the Mercury-Mars square on October 19, but this time hurrying communication issues could end in disaster. Are you sure your text went through or that you didn’t send an e-mail peppered with typos to your boss? Again, Sagittarius, the details matter. A Mercury-Jupiter conjunction on the twenty-ninth helps you combine work and play, and the harder you work, the more fun you have. Is this the magical combination you’ve been looking for?
