Your daily horoscopes for Monday October 21, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Is the universe trying to send you a message? Tap into your intuition today as careful Saturn aligns with messenger Mercury in your eighth house of mysteries and spirituality. Has a certain person appeared in a recurring dream? Or maybe you’re noticing a particular pattern in your waking life. Whatever the case, resist the urge to brush off these happenings as “mere coincidence.” They could very well be signs! But how to interpret them? Carve out time to reflect on their possible significance.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Think fast, Taurus! If you find yourself slammed with work, you may be tempted to make a split-second judgment call. But slow down and process, especially if you’re having second thoughts about a major decision. When assessing how much value a certain person brings to a project, look deeper than the surface. Just because someone has a higher social status than you doesn’t mean they’re the right collaborator. Thankfully, today’s supportive trine between gregarious Mercury and down-to-earth Saturn gives you the clarity you need to see past shiny exteriors and focus on what truly matters.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Pragmatism is the key to success under today’s skies as structured Saturn in your driven tenth house aligns with your ruler, clever Mercury. While you’d love nothing more than to spend the day dreaming up ideas, this starmap encourages you to come back down to earth. Hammer out a solid game plan before you go into production mode. A detailed blueprint is essential for success, so don’t cut any corners. See some potential problems? Review and revise your strategies.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Slow and steady wins the relationship race today as Mercury forms a harmonious alignment with cautious Saturn. Have things been moving fast with a romantic prospect? Or perhaps you’re on the verge of inking a major deal with a new business partner? Take a serious commitment one step at a time and make sure you have time to truly think through any offers. If this person has your best interests at heart, they’ll give you the time you need to seriously consider every factor. If you’ve allowed things to develop naturally over time, you might just be ready to make the leap.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Hold your loved ones close today, Leo, as a harmonious alignment between Mercury in your domestic zone and serious Saturn in your eighth house of emotional intensity sets the stage for intimate bonding. This heart-centered transit is an ideal time for deep-diving discussions or a more serious commitment, like moving in together or expanding a family. Looking to cement a business partnership? Listen to your head AND your heart before making a decision.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Friends into lovers? Talkative Mercury forms a flowing trine with structured Saturn in your interpersonal sectors. While you feel the connection, make sure the two of you are on the same page about your shared future. If you’re already in a relationship, warning: One of you could be a bit heavy-handed, even forceful, about those “next big steps.” At the same time, a little bit of pressure can get a person off the fence about a plan you were going to pursue anyway. Just make sure it’s applied gently and without an agenda. Guilt and coercion will always backfire!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Your closest bonds take center stage today as Mercury in your down-to-earth second house aligns with structured Saturn. View your conversations through an objective lens. If there are certain things you want to change, voice your desires. Although you may be enthralled by someone’s charms, this Mercury-Saturn trine asks, Can this person give you the emotional support you’re looking for? Libra, you KNOW you’ll offer that to them, so don’t accept anything less for yourself!
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Your magnetism is off the charts today, Scorpio, thanks to a powerful alignment of witty Mercury in Libra and structured Saturn in your fifth house of passion and glamour. You don’t even have to consciously turn on the charm—people will be naturally drawn to you the second you walk in the room. Looking for love? Dive into conversation with an enticing prospect. Even if you find yourself immediately attracted, use the grounded influence of this starmap to help you keep the pace slow and steady. No current candidates? Enjoy the break from the dating game. Dress up and meet a friend for dinner or drinks. For couples, talk could turn to babies or a next big step.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
Release that impulse to control and go with the flow today. Mental Mercury in your spiritual twelfth house forms a healing alignment with Saturn in your nurturing fourth. You don’t have to always be in charge, Sag. In fact, it can feel great to let someone else take the reins for once, provided you trust them. Pro tip: Follow the lead of an important woman in your life. A spontaneous escapade could lead you down a thrilling (and inspiring) path. Healing from hurt or disappointment? Lean on a wise, caring person in your orbit for support.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday October 21
At a crossroads, Capricorn? Consult your core crew if you’re having difficulty making a decision as thoughtful Mercury in your collaboration zone forms a harmonious trine with sober Saturn in your communication sector. But keep that velvet rope around the opinion polls today. Solicit feedback ONLY from people that you really trust, and even better if they can speak from experience. (If you think they have an agenda or want to steer you in their own self-interested direction, keep them off the list.) A common refrain is likely to emerge from your advice pool. Sit with it, even sleep on it, before you make your final call.

A powerful partnership could be the key to success today as Mercury forms a harmonious alignment with structured Saturn in your success and money sectors. You’ve got an ambitious objective, and you’re prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve it. But there’s no reason to shoulder this entire endeavor by yourself. Reach out to an important person in your industry and pitch them on your big idea. There’s a strong possibility that they’ll want to come on board and help with your efforts! Just make sure you iron out a clear arrangement (or an official contract) before you start working together. Looking to make a pricey purchase? Shop around and look for ways to lower the cost.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday October 21

The best strategy for getting what you want? Be your authentic self! Stay true to your bold vision and tell the world exactly how you feel.
