Sagittarius Monthly Horoscope

October is a "come back to yourself and remember what you truly want" kind of month for you, Sagittarius. In the first half of the month your friends, your social circle and your dreams for the future are at the forefront; you're among people, making plans, and the time you spend with those around you feels good. But as the month goes on, your energy slowly turns inward. In recent months you may have been always running and forgetting yourself a little. This month it's time to stop and look at yourself.

Two matters especially come to the front this month: reviewing your relationships and what you value, and finding your inner peace. From the start of the month an old love, an old friend, or a matter left in the past could come up again. See this as a chance for closure and making peace. Toward the end of the month your need for quiet, rest and pulling back into yourself increases. This time, slowing down a little instead of pushing outward will add to your strength.

Love and relationships: Don't rush in love this month. From the start of the month, an old relationship, an unsettled account, or someone who still lingers in your heart could come to mind again. This is a chance to make peace with the past; but rather than going straight back, first try to understand what you feel. For those in a relationship, this period is a time to calmly talk through an old argument and refresh the relationship; see it as a chance to grow, not a fight. Singles could have an unexpected encounter with a familiar face, maybe an old flame. Don't take big steps with someone new right away; this month is a time to understand, not to get acquainted.

Career and money: At work and in your social circle, the first half of the month is busy; your friends or work contacts could open new doors for you, and a joint project or a plan about the future could come up. Meanwhile you're also open to learning, a new course, a faraway connection, or an idea that broadens your view of life; this will do you good. Just be careful with money and value matters; an old payment, an old agreement, or a budget issue could come back to the table. In the last week of the month there may be mix-ups in communication, so read contracts twice, write your messages clearly, and postpone big decisions to mid-November.

Health and energy: This month your body is telling you to "slow down a little." Especially as the month goes on your energy may fluctuate, and most of your tiredness is actually mental and emotional. Don't force yourself to keep running; make sleep and rest your priority. Since your sensitive areas are the hips, thighs and liver, don't forget to stretch the muscles that get tight from sitting too long, go easy on heavy, fatty meals, and drink plenty of water. Regular walks open up both your body and your spirit.

Key dates: October 3 - your love life and what you value come up again; a time to calmly review an old matter. October 23 - after this date your energy turns inward, so make time to rest and for yourself. October 24 - from this day on, be more careful in conversations and decisions; a period open to misunderstandings begins.

Advice of the month: This month don't try to keep up with everyone, Sagittarius; catch up with yourself first. Make peace with the past, turn inward, and quietly listen to what you truly want.
