October 2026
Much of this month should actually be quite pleasant even though Venus and Mercury are retrograde, Gemini. Both of these planets are in heavy Scorpio and transit your 6th house of work and health, so it’s important to be aware of what is going on in these areas.
The Sun is in pleasant Libra until the 23rd, illuminating your 5th house of love. This gives the October 10 New Moon great romantic potential. Sparks are about to fly and it very well could be the best day of the month for love.
When the Sun joins Mercury and Venus on October 23, things get more intense in terms of both work and love. Three Scorpio planets can make you feel almost obsessive and potentially suspicious of people. You won’t be satisfied with half-truths or shallow answers. That means it's time to get real in terms of where you are going romantically.
Venus in your 6th house can also relate to someone you may be interested in at work, either directly or indirectly. If this is the case, you're about to find out if feelings go both ways.
Mars is the other planet connected to love and passion and in October, it transits through Leo with Jupiter, the planet of luck and gain. That makes communication more important than usual this month. Expect to feel very social. You and your partner may take many short trips around town. If you are single, someone in your immediate area could easily catch your eye.
This month’s Full Moon falls in Taurus on October 26. Love matters may be front and center, but a full moon in the 12th house can indicate issues in your unconscious mind that could interfere with a current relationship. Don’t let past experiences color what is happening that day.
With this full moon and retrograde Venus, it may be time to put the past where it belongs and reflect on whether a current love interest is worth pursuing.
