Aquarius

Stefanie’s horoscope: On the eighth, Venus will finally move on from your house of relationships, where there’s been plenty of heavy-duty thinking about whether you want to be partnered, whether relationships are important to you, whether you’re happier single or partnered or somewhere in-between—all that kind of stuff. After all of that deep-diving, Venus will move to your house of intimacy and transformation on October 8. This will bring a deepening of all the knowledge that has been obtained over the past couple of months, and you may feel like you are really growing up through your relationships at this time. Any intimate relationship may feel intensified now, but so much of Venus’s placement in your chart has called for you to mature and grow in how you relate to the significant others in your life. You will have a beautiful boost to handle it all with grace. On October 9, Mercury goes direct in your house of philosophy and travel, and the new moon arrives on October 12. Use this new moon, and Mercury’s influence, to set goals around anything that would expand your horizons—whether it’s preparing to study abroad, acing a language exam, or changing up your thinking through reading new-to-you writers. You have a six-month window to get the stars’ help with what is important to you in the realm of spirituality, travel, and exploration. The full moon is in Aquarius’s home zone on the 27th, which is also the house of family and your own private domain. This puts an emphasis on your personal life: Maybe it’s an insight about a family member or a roommate, or the culmination of a project such as redecorating your room?

Dylan’s advice: There are a lot of potentially horizon-expanding opportunities this month. They could be as far-flung as studying abroad or as close-to-home as downloading Duolingo and sharpening your Dutch skills. Mercury is the planet of communication, so when it’s in your house of travel, study, mind expansion, and philosophy, it’ll give you a boost in that arena. Then, the new moon will give you a chance to set a goal with results you can reap over the following six months. Whether it’s about education, travel, or just opening your mind, mannn, use the 12th to set that goal, and just sit back and watch how it transpires over the next half-year. Onward!
