Your October 2026 Horoscope for Sagittarius
by Susan MillerNow let’s turn to the new moon, which will occur on October 10 in Libra at 17º and light your eleventh house of friendships and participation in social groups of all kinds (like clubs or charities). This new moon would normally allow you to pull away from work and kick up your heels, but this new moon is flawed. Saturn in Aries and your fifth house will oppose the new moon in Libra, putting a damper on all things ruled by the fifth house—and that’s the problem. Saturn tends to limit and constrict all it touches, and the fifth house rules romantic love, the care of your children (no matter their age), and creative projects.
Saturn will also oppose the Sun during the new moon on October 10. The Sun is the natural ruler of your ninth house of travel, so this harsh aspect is still another reason you would be wise to stay home this month. A trip you take during this time may turn out to be arduous. Unforeseen conditions could come up and make you wonder why you left in the first place.
It is possible this new moon will manifest in another way. You may feel moved to help a friend who’s in dire straits find a way out of her desperate situation (Saturn opposes this new moon, and in astrology the moon is female, so it’s likely to be a female friend). If you step in to assist, know that untangling the problem may take time, and it would be heartbreaking to her if you suddenly left—plan to stay around for the long road ahead.
Alternatively, you may need to attend to one of your children during this time. Your child might be scared or depressed over something, and you can support them with your sunny perspective, reassurance, love, and affection.
