October 2022: LOVE Horoscopes

Are you ready to fall more deeply in love than ever before? Your love horoscope for October 2022 beckons intense, radical change that alters the timelines of love. Singles and couples may find that their romantic standards will undergo profound introspection. Focus on developing a heartfelt relationship instead of obsessing over romantic and sensual desires. After all, Libra is known for being the biggest flirt and a huge tease for a reason!

October 2022: Monthly Horoscope: Capricorn

Nobody needs to tell you to set your sights on a goal, Capricorn, but this year, a little encouragement might be in order. The Sun is in Libra and your ambitious tenth house until October 23, your annual time to really go for those milestones before the holidays kick in. But you could be feeling frustrated after September, which featured SIX frustrating planets in slowed-down retrograde. You’re not afraid of a challenge, but you don’t appreciate an obstacle course, especially when your hard work and determined efforts get stymied.

This month, three of those planets—Mercury, Pluto and Saturn—resume direct (forward) motion. You’ll start to feel a lot more ease, especially when Pluto corrects course in YOUR sign on October 8.

Ready for a new crew or a creative collaboration? On October 23, the Sun enters Scorpio and your eleventh house of group activity and networking. But the headline news arrives October 25, when the Scorpio new moon rides into the sky as a potent solar eclipse. An out-of-the-blue opportunity to join forces could arrive before the month ends.

On October 28, lucky Jupiter backs out of Aries and makes a final trip through Pisces and your third house of communication and community, staying until December 20. Get ready for an extra social holiday season, with a wide-open door to share your ideas, market your offerings and meet kindred spirits. But make sure you can deliver what you promise: intense Mars turns retrograde in Gemini and your healthy, organized sixth house from October 30 to January 12. Ramp up prevention to avoid seasonal sickness, since your lowered energy levels (and increased stress levels) could make you susceptible.

High-end Halloween, anyone? With the moon in Aquarius and your luxury-loving second house, you’ll prefer Godiva chocolates and an invitation-only party to a bowl full of miniature Milky Ways. Unleash your inner competitor and enter a costume contest or RSVP yes to a ticketed event and make it an excuse to network! With the Sun, social Mercury and magnetic Venus in your group activity zone, you could meet some devilishly good connections tonight.

October 2022: Monthly Horoscope: Virgo

Can we have a do-over please? Virgo season (and for many, your birthday month) was, um, challenged this year. With six retrograde planets in September—including your ruler Mercury in YOUR sign—this was an unfortunate “gift” that kept on giving. Taking might be more accurate!

But here you are, still standing, and maybe a bit wiser from whatever lessons you were served. October is a new scene, as three of those retrograde planets correct course. It starts with Mercury on October 2, powering forward in Virgo. If you’ve been holding back on sharing your ideas or they’ve gotten a mixed reception, people should start warming up to you again. Pluto and Saturn also end their retrogrades this month, which will improve matters in your personal life.

Scorpio season brings a much more social energy on October 23, as the Sun moves into your third house of communication and ideas. A Scorpio solar eclipse on October 25 could bring a new kindred spirit into your sphere, or a sudden opportunity for writing, speaking or sharing about your brilliant concepts.

Relationship and career changes are afoot right before Halloween. On October 28, expansive Jupiter backs into Pisces and your committed partnership zone, and Mars turns retrograde on October 30 in your professional sector. Between now and the end of the year, you may be weighing some new options or approaches. Keep an open mind—and if you need to press pause on something moving too quickly, don’t feel bad about saying so.

Halloween will feature an Aquarius moon in your sixth house of wellness. Enjoy a few tricks, but keep the treats on the healthy side—not that we need to tell a Virgo that. If any sign could sneak a dark leafy green into a decadent baked good, it would be yours!

October 2022: Monthly Horoscope: Taurus

Well, that was interesting. As you emerge from a September that had SIX retrograde planets, you’ll be amazed and amused that you got anything done at all! Luckily, the Sun is in Libra and your efficient sixth house until October 23, the ideal time for you to get organized, healthy and back in control of your goals.

Three of those six retrograde planets correct course this month—Mercury (October 2), Pluto (October 8) and Saturn (October 23)—and their direct (forward) turns should have a positive impact on your career especially. Initiatives that got back-burnered over the spring and summer pick up speed. Reach out to mentors and contacts to start up talks again.

Your ruling planet Venus gets involved in the month’s new and full moons. On October 9, the Aries full moon in your twelfth house of closure and release will stand opposite Venus, an antagonistic angle. Things could get tense despite your best intentions to let a conflict go. Do your best, but take a time-out if need be.

Once the Sun moves into Scorpio and your partnership house on October 23, you’ll have a full month that’s primed for getting back in sync with your most important people. And on October 25, eclipse season begins—a huge two-week period that will impact you more than most other signs. The October 25 Scorpio partial solar (new moon) eclipse brings potent, unexpected developments to your relationship sector. Things could turn official fast, or you could hear an offer too good to pass up, even if it demands a pivot. This time, the moon is conjunct (united with) Venus, sweetening the vibes even more.

But it’s all a big runway to November 8, a 2022 “uber-date” for you when a total lunar (full moon) eclipse lands smack in YOUR sign! Get ready for a big Taurus cosmic coming-out party or a decisive download about your life direction. Use this month to prepare however you can…if even to do a little soul-searching while getting your life into efficient, streamlined shape. You want to be undistracted when this lunar liftoff arrives!

But it doesn’t stop there, Taurus. On October 28, expansive Jupiter leaves Aries, where it’s been slogging through your hazy twelfth house, and dives back into Pisces until December 20, spotlighting your eleventh house of group activity. If your social life’s been MIA, get ready to hear from old friends and field a flurry of invites. Holiday season is looking really fun. Get a head start on Halloween. With the moon in Aquarius and your platinum-status tenth house, dress up a high-end soiree, preferably with your favorite plus-one.

On October 30, stressful Mars will make a retrograde U-turn in Gemini, adding friction to your finances until January 12. Go easy on the holiday gifting and stick to a budget. Be conservative with your cash for the rest of the year. While you’re at it, let any clients, coworkers and employers know if you’re planning to take time off or travel. You could end up with a time-sucking project that cuts into your Q4 fun if you don’t set firm expectations now.
