October 7 ~ October 21

Ring, ring. The future is calling, Sagittarius. This Saturday’s New Moon in Libra on Oct. 10 breathes fresh life into your hopes for what comes next, including the people you want beside you when you get there. Yet Venus, the ruler of this New Moon, is retrograde in Scorpio in your 12th house, suggesting there is still something behind you that is calling you back for a reason. An old desire, relationship, or even a dream you thought you had outgrown could find its way back into your awareness. What returns now may not be asking for another chance, but it may be asking to be understood. Sometimes you have to know what still has a hold on you before you can know just how free you are to go.

Venus squares Mars in fellow fire sign Leo this weekend, and you may feel an irresistible urge to go farther, speak louder, or break free from something that has become too small for who you are now. Just make sure you aren’t running toward the horizon simply because something behind you is uncomfortable to face. The bow has to pull you back before the arrow can reach its mark.

By Thursday, Oct. 15, Mars in Leo forms a blazing trine to Saturn in Aries in your house of purpose, passion, and creative self-expression. This is fire with somewhere to go. Something you believe in can become something you build, and a dream can move beyond possibility into something you are actively creating. Mars gives you the nerve to take the leap, while Saturn asks whether you are willing to give that dream the time, work, and devotion required to make it real. There is something here worth fighting for, Sagittarius. Plant your feet and take aim.

Bet on the fire in your belly, Sag. The next move is yours.
