October 2026
Scorpio, the Sun enters your sign on the 23rd, when you'll start feeling comfortable in your own skin again. In the meantime, however, both Mercury and Venus retrograde are transiting your 1st house.
Venus turns retrograde on the 3rd and Mercury on the 24th. That makes October a month of reassessing relationships and values. Where you are headed and with whom is likely to be on your mind a lot.
Consider yourself the eye of the storm this month when it comes to love and self-reckoning. You will be forced to strip away any illusions you may have and ghosts from the past may suddenly rise to the surface.
You're about to become more aware of ways you self-sabotage relationships or why you choose certain people. This could easiliy lead to major psychological enlightenments, especially around the New Moon on October 10.
Around the Taurus Full Moon on October 26, any issues that have been playing out in a relationship or with a love interest come to the surface. Keep in mind that control, secrecy, or testing your partner will most likely not end well.
Venus retrogrades back into Libra on the 25th. This often represents a secret love affair or romance you keep hidden. Otherwise, it's a time of great reflection. The tone of your love life shifts toward your internal rather than external landscape. Venus in this house is known for bringing back old loves or remembering big heartbreaks. It may be time to close that door.
