Good morning, Sagittarius! October is action-packed and the drama starts on October 1, when a Full Moon in Aries electrifies the sky. Aries is a like-minded fire sign, so you love this extra toasty lunation—in fact, the Full Moon feels inspiring! Under this sky, be sure to set intentions and create manifestations for the month ahead. What do you want to achieve? What are your goals? And, perhaps more importantly, how can you tap into your skills to help others in meaningful, thoughtful ways? There are no right answer, Sagittarius, so enjoy the process of rumination. After all, you are the most philosophical sign of the zodiac—this type of big-picture musing is right up your alley!

If you do want to launch any new initiative, however, you may want to get them up-and-running before October 13. Yes, my love, I’m sorry to say that Mercury Retrograde is at it again. For the next three weeks, the mischievous planet of communication goes retrograde, wreaking havoc on all things relating to expression, technology, and transportation. You’ll want to be gentle with yourself, Sagittarius. There’s no reason to push too hard. If you’re not feeling the vibes, it’s okay to step away from the situation. After all, you don’t want to end up saying the wrong thing and turning a small misunderstanding into a full-blown meltdown. We don’t need more drama in 2020!

A few days later, on October 16, the New Moon in Libra will kick off a new lunar cycle. This is perfectly timed because the lunation illuminates the area of your chart associated with extended communities, helping you remember that you’re part of something much greater. Under this sky, all that petty drama seems relatively irrelevant. Now you’re trying to figure out how you can align with supportive, creative, and dynamic people who are also interested in community outreach. Sure, a few shameless selfies never hurt anyone, but under this sky, you want to use social media to inspire others. Even if you’re confined to your house, remember that the world is at your fingertips, Sagittarius darling. You can spearhead some catalytic change!

The Sun glides into Scorpio, your neighboring sign, on October 22…and for you, this means one thing only: It’s almost your birthday! But wait, before you start planning the most epic Zoom party of all time, don’t you think you should…I don’t know, check in with yourself? For the next few weeks, take emotional inventory and evaluate your current conditions. What’s working? What isn’t? Right now, as you prepare to begin a new solar cycle (yes, your birthday), don’t be surprised if you find yourself stepping away from things that are no longer serving your soul. Will this be effortless? Absolutely not. Even if you’re letting go of toxic situations, goodbyes are never easy. But trust that any antiquated thinking, unhealthy relationships, or dead-end jobs will soon be in the rearview mirror. It’s time to start anew!

October goes out with a bang—this months’ second Full Moon (known as a “Blue Moon”) occurs on…you guessed it! Halloween! In Taurus’ domain, this Full Moon is guaranteed to be extra spooky, so don’t be surprised if you’re overwhelmed by ghosts and zombies by the end of the month. No, these aren’t trick-or-treaters…this is much scarier! These are your exes! Under this sky, people from your past will come knocking—but don’t you dare open that door. You’re moving forward, so don’t let the darkness pull you down. Be brave, you got this!
