Scorpio October Horoscope
The October 5 new moon lights up your sector of self improvement. Scorpio is known for being perfectionistic, but you may be getting in your own way. A 10-minute walk every day is much more effective than waiting for the time when you have an hour to run, which might be never. Just do something—you’ll be happy you did. On October 10, Jupiter enters Scorpio. This is a great configuration and brings good luck and fortune for the next year. But you can’t wait for things to come to you. Be proactive and make a one year plan, now. When you put your mind to it, you can absolutely manifest those goals. On October 19, and through the end of the month, the new moon says it’s time to snuggle and stay close to home. Single? If you’ve been seeing someone casually, it may be time to suss out whether you should get more serious or not. Again, taking the lead is key.

Sagittarius October Horoscope
Creative Archers have spent the past month focused on nuts and bolts of certain plans, ignoring their creative side. The new moon asks you now to honor that side of yourself. Take a class, walk around a museum, or otherwise spend time engaged with your right brain. When Jupiter leaves Scorpio and enters Libra on October 10, you’re grappling with big questions: Where am I, and where do I want to be in five years?

Plan a mini trip for a weekend or even just get out of town for a few days. And if you can, go solo. You need that time in your head!

Pisces October Horoscope
Money matters are illuminated by the full moon of October 5. You may have ignored a money matter, but now’s the time to actually get things moving. You may need to invest some time and patience, but it’ll pay off to get the cash owed you, or to finally start a passive revenue stream. On October 10, when Jupiter leaves Libra and enters emotional Scorpio, you may feel weepy, nostalgic, and sad about missed opportunities. Let yourself feel. On October 19, the new moon asks you what you can give to another person, even a stranger. The more you give, even if it’s just five minutes to listen to someone’s story, the better you’ll feel.
