Monthly Horoscope: Virgo, October 2021

Venus in Scorpio connects with Pluto on October 2, finding you having steamy conversations about desire. This is a powerful time to connect with your partners and discuss your deepest wants. Your ruling planet Mercury connects with Jupiter in Aquarius on October 3, finding you reconsidering and revising big ideas that were discussed around September 20. A new source of income, a gift, or a new perspective about your belongings or sense of security arrives with the new moon in Libra on October 6. Also on this day, Pluto ends its retrograde, creating an intense and transformative atmosphere. Whatever you feel passionate about (a relationship, a creative pursuit) will have an interesting development at this time. 

Venus enters Sagittarius on October 7, bringing a warm energy to the home and family sector of your chart. You might be feeling especially nostalgic, and you’re eager to revisit things from the past that brought you joy. This is a lovely moment to connect with family, and you’re in the mood to entertain at home, safety precautions considered. This is also a good opportunity to redecorate and beautify your space. In your romantic relationships, you’re especially appreciative of people who make an effort to create safe, cozy spaces with you. You’re craving comfort food and simply want to feel snug! 

The sun, Mercury retrograde, and Mars align in Libra on October 8 and October 9, marking the beginning of a new approach to money and your belongings. An important new piece of information or perspective concerning these themes surfaces. Saturn ends its retrograde in Aquarius on October 10, finding you especially focused on your to-do list. You’re thinking about how to restructure your schedule so you can be more productive, while still setting important boundaries that protect your time to rest and relax. Venus and Saturn make a supportive connection on October 13, finding you reflecting on your commitments and responsibilities: You especially value the people in your life who make an effort to help you manage your busy schedule! Remember to ask for support if you need it. As a Virgo, you’re often the first to offer help to others, but don’t forget that you can let people know when you need assistance, too!

The sun connects with Jupiter on October 15, creating an optimistic and generous atmosphere, and people are feeling fun and chatty as Mercury retrograde connects with Venus at October 16. Things feel more tense as the sun squares off with Pluto on October 17: Power struggles arise, and you might find yourself reflecting on whether you’re feeling valued. You don’t need to stay where you’re not appreciated; it may be time to make a change, even if it’s hard to leave a situation where you have already invested time and energy. The most productive way to work with Pluto is to embrace change. 

A big shift comes with the full moon in Aries on October 20: This is a powerful time to get closure and move on from something. An important debt may be settled, or a financial situation can reach a culmination or turning point. Aries is a sign that doesn’t cling to the past. As Pluto is activated this month, reflect on how you can let go of what was, and use the energy of the full moon in fearless Aries to propel yourself into the future! You’re ready for new experience and don’t need to be bogged down by old baggage. Endings take place as Mars and Pluto square off on October 22, so watch out for short tempers, big egos, and control issues on this day. 

The sun enters Scorpio on October 23, activating the communication sector of your chart and bringing news your way. This is a busy time in your social life, and you may be connecting with your neighbors or community, as well as with your siblings, if you have them. Romance is in the air as Venus squares off with Neptune in your opposite sign Pisces on October 26 and connects with lucky Jupiter on October 28. This is a dreamy moment in your partnerships, and a hugely powerful time for emotional connection! But with this intensity may also come insecurity. Try to stay grounded, Virgo. You might feel like a grand gesture needs to be made, but you can take your time and explore things slowly and intentionally. 

October 30 finds you in an especially focused mood as the sun clashes with Saturn: You’re mulling over serious commitments, and could feel irritated if you’re distracted. Serious conversations take place, but they may unfold slowly. You’re eager to surround yourself with people as responsible and reliable as you are. The mood may be somewhat grumpy, but that shifts quickly as your ruling planet Mercury connects with Jupiter on October 31, finding you thinking back to the big ideas that were shared on September 20 and revised on October 3. You may finally be ready to move forward with your plans! The mood is especially open-minded and experimental.

Good luck this month, Virgo, and see you in November!
