October 2026 

Aries (Mar 20-April 20): Happy October! Are you ready? As your monthly astrology horoscope begins, it starts with the 3rd Qtr. Moon in Gemini, an air sign. This sparks your thinking. It might surprise people at how much you engage, talk and confront issues now. But you've had a lot on your mind for a long time, haven't you? Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is in profound yet cunning Scorpio, where he will retrograde, and Venus Rx is retrograde in Scorpio. Both will spend a lot of time in the sign of Scorpio, your 8th house of challenges, death, and ultimately rebirth. You might have strong likes and dislikes, and you might block, exile, or totally ignore someone. Something in your life is already in place that you are dealing with and trying to finish or handle. Aries faces the hurdle of having to start over. You find out your worth and what you are truly capable. You can just as easily overestimate your worth, so you have to constantly test yourself and realign.

Nothing spells bio hacking, terrorist attacks, bumbles, crypto block heisting, antiquities heists, love-spoliation, drones, and people in the sewers of NYC like October! Are you ready? Remember September 30th, as Mercury entered Scorpio, he got right to work. As Mercury transits around the zodiac, it acts as the information planet, collecting information from other celestial bodies by asking each one, "What do you have in store for us?"
Issues related to love, money, survival, greed, anything underground, and the dastardly deeds of others challenge you. There's a trickery to financial matters based on some deep primordial need to survive. Aries, you need to check the facts if you engage in any financial negotiations. You are on your own this month, and you might find that friends, in-laws, groups, someone you looked up to, and your very hopes and wishes come crashing down. How will you deal with feeling betrayed by a bad friend group or someone you thought had your back?  There can be financial scandals and someone may owe you a favor or money. Some may lie on loans and financial documents to make their large purchases. Some or thinking of new ways to trick investors and make money. So be very careful what you sign in October! Study where the sign of Scorpio is in your personal birth chart.
You might tap the brakes on a commitment and question your marriage, relationship, and, on a bigger scale, how you relate to others. You might face danger. Reflect on your deeper yearnings and what is essential to your happiness.  With so many planets both in and out of retrograde this month, your thoughts turn inward.

On the occasions that the Moon transits Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, in October a sense of security and safety returns, and these are the only times your practical nature returns to guide you, and you experience others being reliable and yourself being practical. Think in concrete terms, value security, and prefer solid, slower, achievable outcomes over intangible, non-concrete ideas.

That can be hard to do with fiery your ruler Mars in Leo and all those planets and asteroids in Aries. All these planets are in fire signs and ignite your spirit, firing up your romantic side, your courage to confront others, and some give in to Mars' love bombing. Oh, but wait a minute! Mars turns the heat with Jupiter and the Lunar South Node, and I have to think that some hot love affairs and romances will burn out in April and cause many people heartbreak. How does this happen? It happens when you complicate your romantic life and mix love, money, and sex. Some will give in to the vixen and amoral Venus in Scorpio, where she uses her skills and a seductive way to trap the king or big wig Mars in Leo, who is all too susceptible to flattery and her sexy advances. Romances that get underway in October have a shelf life, darlings!  
Oct.10 Happy New Moon! The New Moon in Libra at 18°. Check your Free natal birth chart for planets, house cusps, and asteroids at 17°. The New Moon in Libra starts a new cycle in your 7th house of popularity, relationships, marriage, and it's here during the New Moon phase you start to feel like someone special as more and more people recognize you as someone they want to know!
The ruler of the New Moon, Venus Rx, is retrograde in Scorpio, her detriment sign, and square Mars in fiery Leo, and it's here you decide to give in to lust, greed, a forbidden romance, and do the Adam and Eve thing of eating the forbidden fruit.  You might become obsessed with someone you love, or you might find someone with whom you have great chemistry. Remember Mars is chasing Venus in the natural zodiac, and she's far ahead of him! It's here; some pause and decide to take the plunge or walk away just as Adam and Eve must have down in the Garden of Eden. Either way, it determines your New Moon future.  It's a crossroads where all the options make you feel uncomfortable. The planet Venus Rx is at 7° the apex point of the midpoint between Saturn Rx and Uranus Rx, being inconjunct both planets forming a finger of God or Yod.  The good news is that determination and patience bring positive outcomes. The planet Venus Rx rules love, money, marriage, wealth, beauty, surgery (in Scorpio), and all relationships.

The planet of pain and hardships Saturn Rx retrograde is repeating its path for the 2nd time through its transit in the sign of Aries between the degrees of 7-14. Back and forth the movement goes. Bringing with it hard lessons, karmic conditions, hardships, heartache, emotional pain, suffering, and on and on and on. Saturn in Aries reveals to you where you need to start over and realize your worth, be more independent, and end cycles and start fresh. How do we stop this terminal cycle of pain that is wearing us out? How can we change this and be happy?

There is an outer shell we all wear. It's not really us. It's who people think we are and who we sometimes want people to believe we are. It's who you are conditioned to be by well-intentioned your parents, community and your early environment. It's what cause grief in your life if it's not in line with who you really are, your inner soul! We create this outer shell, by our appearance, attitude or conditioning over a lifetime. Maybe we want others to believe we are attractive beyond compare so we wear revealing clothes and lots of make-up or dress down if we don’t want to be noticed and are shy or withdrawn. That says little about your true inner self, your soul. Other times we appear to others to be cold, aloof, argumentative and otherwise nasty. Sending others the message don't approach I'll hurt you. This too is the outer shell or husk that surrounds us and keeps our true potential and real self from shining through. Breaking through and changing your life starts here removing the 1st layer of this outer shell and being the real you. People who shouldn't be in your life attach themselves to this outer layer or shell you are wearing. If it's a sexually revealing shell…then you will have individuals around, you attracted to that outer shell using you for that purpose. If it's your angry shell you will attract others with anger or abuse issues and who in turn make you angry or a victim. If it's your “I'm wealthy” shell and some part of your self wants to be esteemed as wealthy, you will attract those who desire you for only that purpose. All of this leaves you feeling empty and used and lonelier than ever, because no one knows the real you, or loves you for who you are. The first step in re-releasing a karmic condition in your life is releasing difficult situations and people. As Saturn goes direct in the coming months you have a unique opportunity to change your life for the better. To lead a happier more fulfilling life. You won't be lonely. Where one door closes another open! Walk away from situations and ex's, family and friends that use you and otherwise attach to your energy! Be bold and be brave! Where is Saturn Rx retrograde in your chart? Call to find out where to release that very area of your personal life that is causing problems for you!

Oct.23 The Sun enters Scorpio! Happy Scorpio Season! The Sun solarizes your 8th house! The 8th house is a challenging astrological house! The 8th house challenges you to transform your insecurities into strengths. What happens to you in the 8th house, you vow never to let "something" happen again.  It is called the "cavity or flaw." It is where you have to face a flaw in yourself, your shadow self, test your convictions, follow through, weaknesses in your morals or passions. For good or bad, it's what you are capable of. You face your mortality and endings, your insecurities in the face of another, and your neediness and fears. The changes you undergo through the 8th house compel you to look more deeply into the hidden aspects of yourself, your shadowy side, strong likes and dislike and what you hate or who you hate and explore life and all its mysteries. It's through the 8th house that you merge completely with someone or purge them entirely from your life. If it's a relationship, you purge from your life as hard as you can; it's challenging because by purging someone from your life you also hurt yourself. The 8th house is where we feel the most vulnerable.
Oct.23 The Sun in Scorpio conjunct Venus RX in Scorpio (Detriment) at 0°. 0° in astrology is the start of something or the rebirth of something past.
As the Sun enters Scorpio on the 23rd at 5:39 AM EDT.  Retrograde Venus Rx conjuncts the Sun, and both square Pluto, who is now direct. As the ruler of death and rebirth, the planet Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, but in Aquarius, Pluto is in the 4th house of beginnings and endings in the Scorpio overlay.  This will be an intense month. The Pisces Moon trines Mercury in Scorpio, who is about to go retrograde. Innuendo and mental visualization are the backdrop for passionate and sexy communication between people, or intense jealousy depending on who sees your intimate chatter or which side of this you're on.  Watch your communications online; be careful who you DM or who DM's you, and the chatter in a text message can be taken far more seriously than you intend.  Nothing is as it seems, or is it?  Mercury squares Jupiter lends a feeling of conviction to everything we do. Some say, "I am going to do this. Whatever "this" may be. Once someone decides they are going to do something, it's kind of firm!

Oct.24 Mercury S Rx in Scorpio goes retrograde at 3:13 am ET until Friday, Nov. 13th when Mercury S Rx goes direct at 5° Scorpio. As Mercury transits around the zodiac, it acts as the information planet, collecting information from other celestial bodies by asking each one, "What do you have in store for us?"  Be extra careful with those things ruled by Scorpio.  Plans shift when circumstances demand downsizing, or when we are called to be more mindful of our spending. Often, ideas are reshaped by forces operating just beyond our line of sight. Yet, when we truly need them, the essential materials for the tasks before us seem to appear out of nowhere. We might suddenly locate a long-lost object—or discover we already possess everything required. After all, many of our most valuable treasures have been right beside us all along, waiting for the good fortune of our attention. You have to pay attention to what Mercury is telling you about the use of power, money, sex, and revenge, and excluding others.
Both Venus and Mercury will spend an extraordinary amount of time in the sign of Scorpio, your 8th house, and present certain challenges to you for a while!
For instance, commissions, sales, other peoples, money, insurance, tyrants, good of the deceased, inheritances, graveyards, the underground, your partner's financial status, manipulation, blackmail, loans, credit, sexuality, investigations, elimination, murder, bombs, bio-hacks, and biological warfare, atrocities, sewers, the occult, riots gone bad, revenge, repossessions, spiritual possessions, the afterlife, suicide, garbage, filth, bad people, abusers, step-siblings of your mother's side, poisons, STD's, paranoia, detoxing, and things that smell bad.  Astrology knows.

Oct.26 Happy Full Moon in Taurus at 2° at 12; 46 Am ET. The Full Hunter's Moon. 2° is very important in astrology now! Check your free natal birth chart for planets, house cusps, and asteroids at 2°. The Full Moon in Taurus culminates in your 2nd house of money, wealth, assets, luxuries, what you value, your moral fiber, and who you feel about yourself and who things or others make you feel. For instance, if someone makes you feel insignificant, you might drop that person from your life and erase their phone number from your phone! Arguments with women are possible. Full moons have the power to sway the ocean tides and human emotions, and can cause lunar madness and emotions to swell.
Once again, intense the planet of death and rebirth, Pluto, ruler of the sign of Scorpio, sits at the base of a T-square between the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon. Indicating that it's better to let go than hang on tightly. With most of the planets in fixed signs now, movement forward requires effort, tough determination, and commitment to your goals, survival, and perhaps just getting by. With Mercury Rx (thinking) and Venus Rx love and money retrograde, along with Neptune Rx, Saturn Rx, Uranus Rx, it's a good time to fix things, do things differently, and realize what needs to change.
