Sagittarius Horoscope for October 2019

This is an interesting and fundamentally optimistic month for you, Sagittarius, and also one in which you are called to higher purpose. Your daily activities, including workplace environment and health regimens, must support this higher intention. The current lunation cycle, based on the Libra New Moon from just before the month began, brought to you concepts of service to the larger collective, evolutionary development in your resources as you experience them, as well as your basic bottom-line principles, together with visions of new pathways forward that take altered values into account. The Aries Full Moon of October 13th represents a climactic juncture in this story of your ongoing transformation of values, and a time when your developmental journey that has been going all this year reaches for new territory to explore and a new high-water-mark of internal commitment. You are recognizing that your way forward must derive from only what you most sincerely espouse, and are willing to act upon with the fullest intention of your most authentic self.

The month begins just after a New Moon in Libra (from September 28th), which fell into your eleventh house of friends, groups, and allies or benefactors. Because the New Moon closely aspected Uranus the Awakener, located in Taurus, in your eighth house of intimacy, partnership resources, and transformational change, you will all this month, in fits and starts, feel the instability represented by this disruptive archetype in areas such as close partnership connection, issues of self and other, and potentially your finances. Jupiter in your sign is also emphasized, indicating that a fundamentally optimistic attitude will be your standard-bearer this month as well, giving you great benefit.

This month’s astrology also features a host of transits from planets in Libra to planets in Capricorn in your second house of income, expenditures, and resources. The action begins when Mars enters Libra and moves into your eleventh house of friendship and future plans on October 3rd, followed by the Sun in Libra squaring Saturn in Capricorn from October 5th to the 7th, followed by the Sun in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn between October 13th and 14th. With each of these transits an opportunity for social and community growth is possible, possibly even introducing you to new business or professional opportunities along the way. You may also find that you are benefiting from close friends, allies, or groups this month, financially, or that you are being asked to contribute something of your time, energy, or resources to a collaborative effort. You may also have to make some weightier decisions related to the prioritization of time and energy. It’s a good time to ask yourself which friends, colleagues, and groups are contributing or adding to your life and which are draining you, and to make changes wherever necessary.

On October 5th to the 7th, at the same timing as the square of Sun and Saturn described above, Mercury in Scorpio in your twelfth house opposes Uranus in Taurus followed by Venus opposing Uranus between October 11th and 13th, planetary aspects from Scorpio that highlight Uranus in Taurus in your sixth house of work, sickness, and service. You might see an extra level of strange coincidences and synchronicities or, in general, the unexpected, in relation to these areas; these could also possibly be connected as well to the dreams, inner work, and dissolution represented by twelfth-house issues.


With each transit, you may be working through a series of unexpected disruptions and challenges in your everyday work life or even through your body and your health. The benefit of the unexpected challenges that pop up during these times is an increased sense of freedom, the clarity needed to make decisive changes for the better, and the realization of certain inner truths that you have either been repressing or doubting. Overall, each of these transits should also push you to speak the truth more openly to both yourself and those you are close with. You win when you allow for a small revolution to take place this month (or maybe even a big one!), which is going to be better than avoiding or denying the transformation that is at hand.

The Full Moon of October 13th will fall in Aries in your fifth house, placing a brief but powerful emphasis on the house of love, romance, children, joy, and creativity. There is also intensity as well in this configuration, because the Sun in Libra and the Moon opposite in Aries both square Pluto in Capricorn, in your second house of resources and finances, implying an evolving approach to these matters including witnessing changing values within yourself. You may also discover that you are finding inspiration, enthusiasm, and courage during this period for whatever most needs to be done, especially those things you had been procrastinating on or afraid of.

Finally, on October 27th, the New Moon will fall in Scorpio in your twelfth house, opposing Uranus in Taurus, in your sixth house, and therefore further emphasizing your need for a very deep level of inner healing and transformation especially with regard to your mission of service to others. You will receive new beginnings in inner understanding. This is an exceptionally good time for going inward, processing deeper and more profound spiritual or emotional experiences, and looking very closely at any of your own self-destructive patterns or habits in the month ahead. The possibility for a moment of awakening and revolution is imminent!
