Horoscope for the month · October 2026
Scorpio
Venus is backing through your sign. Every old version of you wants a word.
October belongs to you, though not in the loud way. Venus is retrograde in your first house from the 3rd, and old versions of yourself come back for a review: a style, a tone, a way of entering a room. Mercury travels with her, and you think more clearly than people expect. Pluto, your ruler, turns direct on the 16th in your fourth house, and something at home that has been stuck all year begins to move.
The Sun enters your sign on the 23rd and meets Venus the same day. Your birthday season starts with a mirror rather than a party.
Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on the 24th, and the full Moon on the 26th falls in your seventh house, the house of partners. A relationship asks what it is really for. Answer slowly, the week after.
