October 2026
As Venus and Mercury retrograde in your 9th house of learning, travel, philosophy, and worldview this month, you could reconsider a long-distance relationship if you are in one or travel to meet someone. But it's also likely that you start questioning your concepts of love and compatibility or that of your partner.
The Sun also enters your 9th house on October 23, when you may want to connect with others who share your worldview or travel together.
Venus retrogrades back into Libra on October 25. Libra is one of the two most powerful signs Venus can transit through, but the retrograde energy turns your thoughts and desires inward. If you feel there is an emotional imbalance in a relationship, it will come out by the end of the month. You may reconsider certain aspects of your relationship.
Venus is associated with the past, so there's certainly a chance you could reconnect with an ex. But this is no guarantee that it will last or that anything will be different. This is a time to seek total transparency.
Mars and Jupiter in your 6th house all month bring your romantic ideals down to earth. You may seek what the day-to-day realities of your love life really are and how this works or can work. Since the 6th house rules service to others, this is the best way you can show love to a partner this month. Small acts of service, such as simple things like picking up dinner or taking a dog to the groomer for a partner on a day they can’t do it, mean a lot.
Conversation will be very important around the Full Moon on October 26. Discussions that need to take place should. Consider your words carefully, because a conversation could make or break a relationship.
