Your Monthly Astrological Romance Outlook
Aries (March 21–April 19)
It’s commitment time, Aries. When the new moon is in Libra on Oct. 10, that’ll be your chance to make a decision about what—and who—you want. Be firm and don’t second-guess yourself. You will, though, need to spend some time evaluating how to show up in that relationship in the best way.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
Taurus, Venus is retrograding through your relationships house this month. You may get a text from someone you used to date or have old feelings resurface. Remember, you separated for a reason. If you reply to that text, be absolutely sure you should.
Gemini (May 21–June 20)
October is all about fresh starts for you, Gemini. Maybe you’re kindling a new relationship, starting a fun flirtation or building your family. Approach the situation with a clear and open mind, if you can. Venus retrograde is really clouding your decision-making skills! Remember to be patient enough that you can truly listen to yourself.
Cancer (June 21–July 22)
Your feelings are strong this month, Cancer. If you’re single, spend some time away from your crush to ensure you’re not just getting carried away. If you’re partnered up, watch out for that pesky Mercury retrograde. It’s going to bring up an old argument that’s already been done and dusted.
Leo (July 23–August 22)
Cohost the Halloween party with your love this year, Leo. You’re overflowing with oomph and energy, and that’ll make it one of the best parties of the season for you and your guests. Throughout the month, you may be asked to help with little tasks here and there. Do them; it will only help foster a fuller relationship moving into November.
Virgo (August 23–September 22)
Venus retrograde is affecting all of us this month, Virgo. For you, focus on overcommunication. You don’t want your partner or love interest to misconstrue what you’ve said, which is a very real possibility. Just the same, don’t forget to set boundaries. You’re going to feel misunderstood in deep conversations, and a break to gather yourself might be essential.
Libra (September 23–October 22)
Be careful this month, Libra—unfortunately, the stars are not aligned for relationship harmony for you. Expect arguments over petty, silly things; misunderstandings; and hurt feelings. If you’re single, expect some short-lived flings. Everything will even out when the calendar page turns to November, though, so try to stick it out with the person you want to be with.
Scorpio (October 23–November 21)
Scorpio, you are extra magnetic this month. Everyone wants your attention! But you need to spend some time focusing on yourself. An ex may slide into your DMs seeking closure; indulge them and then prioritize self-care. Nurture any romantic relationship you’re in. There may be a couple fights, but your makeups are pretty steamy right now!
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
Sag, prioritize balance this month. Go to the parties, sure—especially any new moon parties, a lucky day for you—but then tuck inward toward yourself to recharge. Venus heading into Libra at the end of the month makes the last week of October ideal for unique dates with your lover or deepening a connection with your crush.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
For you, Capricorn, Venus retrograde is actually a good thing. For some reason you’ve been nurturing relationships and partnerships that are shaky or bad for you, but this retrograde is going to clear those out. It’ll be messy for a couple weeks, but by the end of October, you’ll have a clean and fresh slate for new love.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
Try to sit tight and not make big decisions about relationships this month, Aquarius. Venus and Mercury retrograde aren’t that fun, and you’ve had enough drama lately! Keep things light: short dates, low-risk conversations, and plenty of time to be with just yourself before things lighten up at the end of the month.
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
Pisces, if you are taking your partner on a trip this month, watch the finances. Costs will add up quickly and without notice. (Basically, buy that diamond ring next month when you can be more cognizant of your bank account.) Instead, focus on emotional investment. This is the time for you to deepen your current relationship. Singles, intense conversations will pop up with dates for you. Indulge them.
