Your October 2024 Horoscope: Travel Will Reveal Big Truths About Your Friendships

Beyond these bigger existential demands, October is a month where you might be able to mix business with pleasure. There is some pressure on you to perform right now, but who said you needed to deliver the same old same old? Innovating on your existing material will be easier (and more pleasurable) if you follow the thread of your natural curiosity. Get creative with a new technique you’re learning, or maybe incorporate something you learned about on your recent travels.

Better yet, make it a party. Especially in the second half of the month, after Venus enters your eleventh house of friends and groups on October 17, your social circles will be buzzing with life and invitations to mingle. If you sense an opportunity to network while you’re at it, the universe will have to respect your hustle. However, there might be a bit of social awkwardness to overcome initially, at least until Venus completes her square to Saturn on October 28. People might be reluctant to share, and you might find that not everyone’s in the mood to talk business. While early November promises smoother social sailing, you can still use this time to read the room and adjust.

Pisces Rising

You might be in the midst of your personal peak season for travel this month, but if you’re not already reading this from a different time zone, you can still get a lot of satisfaction out of learning pursuits in October—especially when it comes to engaging with the culinary, artistic, and academic traditions of other cultures.

If there’s a particular research rabbit hole you’re tempted to go down, Mercury’s transit through Scorpio begins on October 13 and will facilitate your foray into the unknown. Venus’ presence in the same part of the sky during the first half of the month can also sweeten your journeys and help you connect with others more easily while you’re on the move, but you’ll probably still have your guard up to some extent. Around October 14 and 15, you might surprise yourself with how willing you are to take a chance on someone who’s not your usual type, or on a palette-expanding cultural immersion. Taking the unexpected detour can lead you to a dreamy and memorable view you wouldn’t have gotten to otherwise.

Your ruling planet, Jupiter, stations retrograde on October 9, bringing you into the next chapter of your quest to love where you live and deepen your understanding of where you came from. You may have had some tangible upgrades to your living situation since May, and maybe you’ve even taken up an ancestral trade or craft. All that forward momentum must eventually pendulum back, however, and that can look like doubt at first before you integrate it fully. It’s normal for the honeymoon phase to wear off when you’re living in a new place, and who knows—maybe your October travels will make you wish you moved there instead of here. Some feelings can’t be managed away, only sat with until they transform. If you feel yourself being pulled in a different direction, approach it with curiosity and don’t try too hard to make it mean more than it does—you can have it all figured out later.

The solar eclipse on October 2 also closes out a grief process you’ve been in over the last year. Most likely, it will involve some sort of tangible shift in your financial circumstances too. If you’ve been on a journey around debt, taxes, inheritance, or finding new income streams as former sources of support ran dry, this eclipse will advance that plot and potentially bring it to a conclusion. Even if you’ve experienced financial instability, you’re probably relieved to no longer be beholden to the conditions some of that support came with. The clarity and freedom that comes with carving out your independence will make the struggle worth it in the end.
