October 2026
Venus and Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, or your 4th house, this month. On the 23rd, the Sun also enters Scorpio, creating a stellium of planets in the most intense sign of the zodiac. Whew.
The 4th house represents your roots and emotional security. These planets form a square, which is a tense aspect that can at times represent growth through pressure and difficulty. It will force you to get in touch with your true feelings, no matter how much you may want to avoid looking at a situation that has had many bumps in the road.
With Venus retrograde, exes sometimes return. But if this is the case, don’t assume they are here to stay. The issues that broke you apart before will remain unless you have both learned otherwise.
Things get much lighter when Venus retrogrades back into Libra on October 25, when conversations become very important. Same with your thoughts. I see you getting some significant news concerning love around the New Moon on October 10, which is also in Libra.
Mars and Jupiter make their way through your 1st house all month. This may just be your superpower, because it makes your confidence to take a big jump forward. You also act with more wisdom under this energy. When you make a bold move, you won’t be in apology mode for anyone.
