The sky in October

A monthly horoscope follows the Sun through the twelve houses of your chart. Around the 20th to 23rd of each month the Sun changes signs, so the second part of the month often brings a new focus. New Moons are good for setting intentions in the area of life they touch, and Full Moons bring things to a head. Read your Sun sign first; if you know your rising sign, read that one too. For the bigger picture, see the 2027 horoscope, and for day-to-day timing, the daily horoscope.

Daily, weekly or monthly?

Each horoscope on Ask the Signs works on a different timescale. The daily horoscope follows the Moon, which changes signs every two to three days, so it captures your mood and the small rhythm of the week. The weekly horoscope picks the best days of the week for love, work and energy. The monthly horoscope steps back and follows the Sun, which spends about a month in each part of your chart, so it shows the main theme you’re working on. Use the monthly page to plan and the daily page to adjust.

Horoscopes are for reflection and entertainment. They describe moods and themes, not fixed events, and your choices shape your month.
