You’re the star of the show, Capricorn! Libra season puts a spotlight on your long-term goals, talents, and career. You’ve worked hard, and it’s about to pay off. Maybe you’re up for a promotion, receive an exciting invitation, or make progress on one of your dreams. You’re also reflecting on your life path and direction. Do your current goals still feel fulfilling and in alignment with your values? Perhaps you’d like to pursue another calling.

The New Moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 2 brings fated beginnings and endings to your professional life. You can experience major shifts regarding your job, your living situation, and your relationships. Let fate take over and trust that as some things come to a close, new opportunities are blossoming all around you.

There’s cooperation and creativity in your friendships when Venus in Scorpio teams up with Mars in Cancer on October 8. Maybe a friend approaches you with a collaborative idea or puts you in touch with a contact who can help move along some of your goals. You may also meet someone charming through a friend or while out with friends.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, goes retrograde in Gemini on October 9. You’re invited to reflect on your boundaries, daily commitments, and behaviours. If there is a project or obligation you’ve been working toward daily, ask yourself if it still feels worth pursuing. You’re ready to streamline your habits and responsibilities so you can reach your goals in the most efficient way possible.

Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, enters Scorpio on October 13, bringing lucky news your way. You could make new friends or find a community where you feel a strong sense of belonging. You want to spend time with people who make you feel seen and appreciated. This is a busy time to come up with ideas about some of your aspirations and goals. If you have an elevator pitch, well, find the right person and get pitching! Others are curious about your ideas and want to help you bring them to life.

The Sun in Libra clashes with Mars in Cancer on October 14, which brings disruptions to your one-on-one relationships. If you’re collaborating on a project, you can wind up disagreeing or in a conflict. You may need to set boundaries in your personal and professional lives too. Try to look at this as an opportunity to stand up for yourself and get back on the same page as the important people in your life.

On the same day, Venus in Scorpio locks eyes with Uranus in Taurus and you could have some unexpected hot sex! Or maybe you’re getting wild in a strange place—like while on a secluded hike or in a parked car in a discreet location. This can bring old friends or acquaintances back into your life or leave you with a sudden burst of creative inspiration. You may have awkward and unexpected interactions with friends today, too.

The Full Moon in Aries on October 17 puts a spotlight on your private life. You’re focused on your chosen family—maybe you learn something important about a loved one or experience a shift in your relationship. This is powerful energy for acknowledging and releasing the past. You may also reach a turning point regarding a decision to move or in your professional life, too.

On the same day, Venus, the planet of connection, enters Sagittarius, and you’re craving more solitude. You’re starting to notice that when you spend time alone and quiet your mind, interesting ideas emerge. This helps you feel back on track with your daily routine. You may also want to spend time committing to a spiritual practice from your ancestry, engaging in evening meditations, or working with a dream journal. Your intuition is loud over the next few weeks.

You’re facing your fears of showing up fully and authentically when the Sun in Libra slams into Pluto in Capricorn on October 22. If you’ve felt a need to hide part of yourself today, you’re pushing past that resistance. You may choose to share something personal and private with an important person in your life, which can feel cathartic, transformative, and triggering at the same time. You’re diving deep and willing to confront what’s been left unsaid.

Later in the day, the Sun enters Scorpio, and you’re making progress on some of your dreams. This Scorpio season, other people are interested in collaborating with you. They can’t get enough of your ideas! Over the next few weeks, spending time with friends will also feel recharging, and you may find new community by engaging in hobbies that light you up.

You could learn news that feels disappointing when Venus in Sagittarius rams into Saturn in Pisces on October 28. This isn’t the best day to profess your feelings or rely on others for support. People are feeling grumpy and consumed with their own dramas. You may simply feel worn down and need to catch up on rest. If you set some boundaries, make sure you stick with them!

Mercury in Scorpio stares down Uranus in Taurus on October 30, and you could hear from someone surprising or learn news that feels lucky, inspiring, or perplexing! The month wraps up with Mercury in Scorpio connecting gently with Neptune in Pisces on October 31. This brings good luck your way; maybe a mentor or influential person notices you and offers to lend their. Think treats, not tricks!

Zodiac compatibility... explained

Your zodiac sign compatibility in romantic relationships, explained

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (2)

VENUS IN ARIES (MARCH 21–APRIL 19)

If your Venus is in the sign of Aries, you need to feel loved and inspired to be happy. And, when it comes to romance, you’re torn between wanting to stay safe and nurtured and wanting something a little more adventurous. You’re most compatible with someone who has their Venus in Leo and in Sagittarius. 'Because they're fire signs—like Aries—they're going to be fun to be with, and they'll feed your flame,' Page explains. That means you'll (almost) never have a dull moment together...even after decades of marriage.

But, of course, opposites attract, too. If you're looking for a hot fling, not an LTR, go for someone with their Venus in Libra.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (3)

VENUS IN LEO (JULY 23–AUGUST 22)

You want recognition for being special, Leo, and there’s nothing wrong with that. You believe life should be exciting, and that includes your love life (duh). So, your best bet at astrological romance is with another fire sign, Venus in Sagittarius and in Aries.

Believe it or not, your opposite isn't a water sign. It's an air sign: Venus in Aquarius. While you might think a lot of sparks will fly between fire signs, there's 'a whole lot of spark' between these two, says Page. Since air signs are all about intellectual connection, an Aquarius can bring a lack of competition to the relationship and help you explore new ideas.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (4)

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22–DECEMBER 21)

You’re inspired by knowledge and new ideas, Venus in Sagittarius. You always want to try something exciting and different—with someone equally on board by your side. You'll find just that in fellow fire signs, Venus in Aries and in Leo, according to Page.

When it comes to opposites attracting, keep an eye on Venus in Gemini. They're an air sign, so you might run into conflict when they're not down to try every crazy, exciting thing you throw their way before thinking it through. Still, if you can nail an intellectual connection, your sexual one will be Off. The. Charts.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (5)

FIRE SIGN & FIRE SIGN

Those with their Venus sign in Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius all bring the heat as fire signs. Together, they're passionate, forward, and direct in their approach to love, Clervoix says. If you're both fire signs, you'll be great at taking initiative with each other, while also keeping up the facade of the 'chase' that can make relationships sexy and exciting.

In short, you both have a tolerance for a bit of game play when paired together. 'It's all about the pursuit,' Clervoix says. 'They want the energy from the other person to stir something up in them,' she says. Basically, fire signs aren't shy about what they want, and they want someone who is action-oriented and will put in the effort they find attractive.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (6)

VENUS IN GEMINI (MAY 21–JUNE 20)

You’re not always sure what you need, Venus in Gemini, so you often look for experience and guidance in an S.O. You crave a mental connection based on communication, so you'll be most compatible with your fellow air signs: Venus in Libra and in Aquarius.

If you're looking for sparks to fly, your opposite attraction sign is Venus in Sagittarius. Just be ready for those sparks to flame out after you don't see eye-to-eye on one too many topics.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (7)

VENUS IN LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23–OCTOBER 22)

Those with their Venus in Libra are the astrological equivalent of 'good texters.' You want intellectual stimulation and communication all day, every day, according to Page. So you need someone who thinks like you—and will always return your texts—a.k.a. your fellow air signs, Venus in Aquarius and in Gemini.

On the flip side, your opposite attraction sign is fiery Venus in Aries. They have a strong ego and will bring excitement to your relationship—the bennies of which you'll reap in the bedroom, trust. Just know that a gust of wind (in the form of intellectual differences, for example) could snuff out this flame.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (8)

VENUS IN AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20–FEBRUARY 18)

You want to express your uniqueness and be accepted for who you really are, Venus in Aquarius, which may or may not explain why you like talking—a lot. You need a sign that can keep up with your intellect, which is why you're most compatible with your fellow bags of hot air, Venus in Gemini and in Libra, says Page.

When it comes to opposite zodiac signs, you probably won't be able to resist someone with fire sign Venus in Leo. You’re both independent and have a desire to help others. But that, combined with a fire sign's need for near-constant excitement, can leave you feeling lonely if you don't spend enough time focusing on each other.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (9)

AIR SIGN & AIR SIGN

If your Venus is Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra, you're most compatible with your fellow air signs. You all share the same energy and spirit—usually one that's very self-sufficient and independent. And since two air signs in Venus will understand this about each other, that makes them a great love match, Clervoix says.

And yep, air signs are also very communicative, which means that together, they are able to easily talk about the needs and conflicts they might have without straight-up breaking things off at the first sign of trouble, Clervoix notes. They're also quite logical, though, so odds are most fights will resolve without a need to hash a ton out anyway.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (10)

FIRE SIGN & AIR SIGN

While the same elements are typically drawn to each other, there are other pairs that make a particularly good Venus match: Like fire and air, for example, who have the ability to be a flirty, fun, and dynamic pair, Clervoix says.

Passionate fire signs often need a physical outlet to express their energy, and they tend to be pretty outward-focused. This is what makes air signs a great match for fire signs, says Mesa. "Air provides the logic, the same way how when we breathe, we get oxygen to the mind," she explains. When a fire sign is agitated and is compelled to act out, their air sign partner will provide them with logic and calm to help them in the right direction, Mesa says.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (11)

WATER SIGN & WATER SIGN

People with their Venus in Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio are water signs, and if you get two of 'em together, odds are there's going to be a *lot* of emotions present in this duo. TBH, water signs are known for having a lot of depth to their feelings, Clervoix says, so when they get into a relationship together, there's a lot of space for them to understand each other's (many) passions.

Basically, it'll be lots of long talks and safe spaces to work through all the ~deep feels~ that come up when you're dating someone—and they're kind of better equipped to handle each other than any of the other elements, Mesa says.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (12)

VENUS IN CANCER (JUNE 21–JULY 22)

If your Venus is in Cancer, you have a lot of emotions—and you're not afraid to share them with a partner. "Water signs need to have their feelings understood," says Page. And who better to understand a water sign's feelings than another aquatic? That's why you're most compatible with Venus in Pisces and in Scorpio. (Especially Scorpios—their strength, intensity of emotions, and ability to surrender sexually is really hot for you.)

If you're looking to knock boots with an opposite sign, hit up a Venus in Capricorn. They're an earth sign, so together you can create a whole new world... as long as you don't end up muddying the waters (sorry, had to).

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (13)

VENUS IN SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23–NOVEMBER 21)

You dig intensity, perseverance, and strength, so you need an equal partner in life, Venus in Scorpio. You feel deeply and want to share your emotions with someone you trust wholeheartedly, says Page. That's why she recommends finding love with other water signs, Venus in Pisces and in Cancer. They just ~get~ you.

Your opposite sign is Venus in Taurus, an earth sign. They can help ground you in a relationship, but they might not completely understand how you're feeling (sigh). Still, whenever you get into arguments, you can always depend on some seriously hot makeup sex, says Page.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (14)

VENUS IN PISCES (FEBRUARY 19–MARCH 20)

You can struggle to feel anchored in this world, Venus in Pisces, which is why you need someone who understands—and validates—your feelings. You're all about having an emotional connection, says Page, so you need a partner that prioritises that, too. Enter your fellow water signs, Venus in Cancer and in Scorpio.

Your opposite attraction sign is Venus in Virgo, an earth sign that will likely help you ground some of those feels. Your sexual connection will be undeniable, but things might get a bit, uh, rocky when it comes to your emotional connection. Earth signs love being cozy and comfortable, but an in-depth heart-to-heart isn't always as important to them. It'll be up to you whether you'll want to get over that...or over them.

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (15)

EARTH SIGN & EARTH SIGN

Like the other elements, those with their Venus in Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus—a.k.a. the earth signs—tend to gravitate toward each other. 'They have that emotional stability,' Mesa says, and like the actual element itself, they're very 'grounded' as a couple. (Translation: Not a ton of outbursts and door-slamming kinda fights in this duo.)

'Earth is very tangible, and it's all about the here and now,' Mesa explains. Basically, this pair is going to value the personal time they have together, and when they're with each other, it's all about the relationship. They're not vying for the other's attention 24/7 because they already have it!

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (16)

VENUS IN TAURUS (APRIL 20–MAY 20)

You crave unconditional love and want to attract someone, instead of having to do all the work to pursue them. (Read: You've definitely played hard to get before.) Because Taurus is an earth sign, you're grounded in relationships, preferring to cozy up on the couch than bar hop all night long. 'If someone with Venus in Taurus tries to date a fire sign, they could get scorched,' says Page. So your best match is someone whose Venus is also in an earth sign—either Venus in Virgo or in Capricorn.

If you're looking for a hot hookup and nothing else, let opposites attract with a Venus in Scorpio. 'The opposites can be more sexy because you can feel the electricity across the room,' Page explains. 'So there might be more fights, but there will also be better makeup sex.'

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (17)

VENUS IN VIRGO (AUGUST 23–SEPTEMBER 22)

You’re attracted to what you don’t understand, Venus in Virgo, and aren’t into people who are superficial. That's why your fellow earth signs—Venus in Capricorn and in Taurus—are your best match. Like you, these signs are 'very touchy-feely,' says Page, and just want to be comfortable with their person, a.k.a. Netflix and chill—emphasis on the chill.

But if you're looking for a good time, not necessarily a long time, you might wanna slide into the DMs of your opposite sign: Venus in Pisces. Since they're a water sign, they'll bring an emotional intensity that'll translate to some serious chemistry in the bedroom. (There might be a tad too much drama for a lasting relationship though...)

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (18)

VENUS IN CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 19)

If your Venus is in Capricorn, you're all about cuffing season (and not just because your bday likely falls during it). According to Page, these signs are super touchy-feely, want to be totally comfortable around their partner, and like doing activities together, especially when those activities don't require leaving the house. So your perfect match is—surprise, surprise—fellow earth signs, Venus in Taurus and in Virgo.

Your opposite sign is water sign Venus in Cancer. They can bring the mystery and depth of emotions that your logic-loving self needs, and you'll be attracted to the spontaneity they can inject into your life. Just make sure they know when you need a timeout, mkay?

Your Capricorn monthly horoscope for October (19)

EARTH SIGN & WATER SIGN

Another element duo that pairs well together? Earth and water. 'They're a little bit more emotional and stable with how they are together and what they want,' Clervoix says. They also aren't looking for people who play games, unlike air or fire pairings.

'Water is very compassionate, empathic, subliminal, and it very much helps the earth find that safety and grounds it,' Mesa says. In this way, earth signs get a bit of emotional reciprocity through the water signs (who always have deep feels), and it helps them hold down the fort of their energy and mental state. 'Together, they create stability,' Mesa says.
