The horoscope for October 2026 Important transits, love and luck for all zodiac signs

October is that magical month when we think anything can happen. Between the balance of Libra and the candor of Scorpio, it's the perfect time to think a little more about ourselves, especially if we're going through a tough time, and to try to find a way to be at peace with our inner self (a day at the spa is also worth it, I swear). It is also the month of Samhain, the New Year of the witches, to be celebrated with a particular ritual or by burning some Palo Santo or white sage, which never hurts (add a few candles, maybe a black one, an orange one and a white one, and you will feel lighter and more purified). No more talking, here is the astral situation for the month!

The planetary transits of October 2026

Venus Retrograde from October 3 to November 14

Venus, planet of love, self-esteem and also of everything that makes us spend money, decides to pull the handbrake from October 3. The retrogradation starts in Scorpio, so we'll have to dig: what are we really feeling? What is it that no longer interests us? Let's be careful, because people or situations that we thought were archived may return, but the point will not necessarily be to re-welcome them into our lives: we will have to understand why they are coming back right now. In love, no decisions. Let's wait for the end of the retrograde period, or there will only be great regrets.

New Moon in Libra on October 10

After all this scorpion intensity, the New Moon in Libra reminds us that we don't have to turn every relationship into a therapy session. On October 10, a perfect space opens up to restore balance, make peace with someone, redefine a relationship or to understand how much space we want to leave for others in our lives. Libra speaks of reciprocity: if we are always the ones who write, organize and above all take the first step, perhaps the time has come to observe what happens when we stop doing it.

The Sun enters the sign of Scorpio on October 23

On October 23, the Sun enters Scorpio and completely changes the emotional temperature of the month. Enough small talk: the important thing is to understand what's underneath, what that person really thinks. This is the part of October when our talent for social media investigations could reach competitive levels, but it would be better to use this energy to learn more about ourselves, instead of analyzing every single last access on WhatsApp. Scorpio speaks of transformation: something must be let go so that something else can finally take its place. Let it be an inner transformation, though.

Mercury Retrograde from October 24 to November 13

And just when we thought we had it all figured out, Mercury Retrograde arrives. From October 24 to November 13, communication could become a small minefield: misunderstood messages, programs that skip, conversations that start from old issues that we thought were buried. In addition, Mercury retrogrades into Scorpio, so the problem will not only be what we say, but everything we don't say. Watch out for paranoia.

Retrograde Venus returns to Libra on October 25

On October 25, Venus, still in retrograde, returns to Libra, fortunately. After digging into Scorpio's more complicated emotions, now the question becomes much simpler: is this relationship fair? Are we coming to meet each other, or are we the ones carrying it forward? It's a great time to renegotiate some dynamics that may no longer work, but not to make a definitive point. We must observe, before we decide. And most importantly, let's stop calling compromise something that is really just a pure personal sacrifice.

Full Moon in Taurus on October 26

The Full Moon in Taurus comes practically immediately after the return of Venus Retrograde to Libra and finally brings some concreteness. After weeks of existential questions, Taurus asks us something very simple: what makes us feel good? Everything that roots us in the present becomes important. We might realize that a situation that seemed indispensable doesn't give us that much, or that we've overlooked basic needs to pursue something complicated and absurd. Sometimes the real glow up is sleeping eight hours and stopping responding to those who stress us out.

The horoscope for October 2026 for each zodiac sign

Aries

October forces you to slow down on the sentimental front, and this is already practically a test of survival for you. Venus Retrograde makes you understand where you are actually investing too much energy to always achieve too little, while the New Moon in Libra will ask you to learn the art of compromise without feeling defeated. Towards the end of the month, with Mercury Retrograde, avoid turning every discussion into a race. You don't have to always win: sometimes it's enough not to lose your patience.

Magic moment: October 7 - something you started with enthusiasm comes back to get you started.
Your Trick or Treat candy: giant gummy snakes - because you need to shed your skin.

Taurus

One of the most involved signs of the month, because the Full Moon of October 26 comes right to you.

You might have a little enlightenment about a situation that you kept dragging around just because changing seemed too tiring. Your task for this month is very simple: choose stability.

Magic moment: October 26th - finally you can stop brooding!
Your Trick or Treat candy: salted caramel chocolates - astrological comfort food par excellence.

Gemini

Mercury is your planet, and when it goes retrograde it's as if someone has taken the Wi-Fi off your brain. From October 24, watch out for any form of conversation, especially those that begin with 'I have to tell you something'. Before responding on impulse, take a deep breath. Venus Retrograde, on the other hand, invites you to understand how much you actually feel valued in relationships: it's not the amount of people around you, it's the quality that makes the difference.

Magic moment: October 12 - a conversation born by chance changes your mind.
Your Trick or Treat Candy: mixed salty and caramel popcorn - unpredictable with every bite.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Cancer

Intimacy doesn't mean total fusion. Venus Retrograde in Scorpio may bring back long-buried emotions, but the New Moon in Libra reminds you that even the most intense relationships need some balance. At the end of the month, the Scorpio Sun amplifies your intuition and makes you particularly good at understanding what others don't say. Use this superpower discreetly, because knowing everything doesn't mean having to comment on everything.

Magic moment: October 18 - a day without big plans turns out to be what you needed.
Your Trick or Treat candy: chocolate-covered marshmallows - soft on the outside, intense on the inside: it's practically you.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Leo

Are you shining because you feel good, or because you need someone to notice your light? Venus Retrograde could make you reevaluate the way in which you seek confirmation from others, while the New Moon in Libra could help you fix some social situations that have become out of balance over time. From October 23, the Scorpio Sun makes you more introspective than usual, but don't be scared: you too can give yourself a deep thought (sometimes).

Magic moment: October 21 - a confirmation arrives that you did not expect.
Your Trick or Treat Candy: Giant lollipop - go big or go home.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LUCK: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Virgo

You would like an Excel sheet to manage this month, but unfortunately the sky is not cooperating. Venus Retrograde upsets your plans, leading you to review some priorities related to the sphere of your home and that of your closest social circle, while Mercury Retrograde asks you to leave some space for the unexpected (which does not always come to harm). The Full Moon in Taurus, however, comes to your rescue: on the 26th it will be easier to distinguish what is really important from background noise. Translated: not everything needs to be fixed today.

Magic moment: October 16 - you will finally succeed in putting two incompatible things together.
Your Trick or Treat Candy: Mint candy - fresh, tidy, and ready for action.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LUCK: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Libra

October is the most important month of the year in terms of relationships. The New Moon of October 10 in your sign opens a new cycle, while Venus Retrograde forces you to look in the mirror and ask yourself how much you are giving and how much you are receiving. From October 25, Venus returns to your sign, but still retrograde: practically the cosmos will place a magnifying glass on your love life. In this case, the message is crystal clear: less diplomacy, more sincerity.

Magic moment: October 10 - the New Moon in your sign pushes you to choose.
Your Trick or Treat Candy: red heart-shaped candies - this year the heart is accompanied by terms and conditions.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Scorpio

It's not going to be a quiet month. Venus begins its retrogradation in your sign and from October 23 the Sun will also arrive: charm, intuition and intensity will skyrocket, but with a small side effect called mental films. From October 24, Mercury Retrograde has been added to the mix: words will have an enormous weight so, please, use them well, no blows of the head. This is a time to understand what you really want, not to constantly test people.

Magic moment: October 23 - the Sun enters your sign and changes your mood.
Your Trick or Treat candy: wheels of licorice - intense, divisive, and definitely not for everyone.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LUCK: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Sagittarius

You are used to looking ahead, but October asks you to turn around to understand what you are leaving behind. Venus Retrograde makes you reconsider desires and relationships that no longer really convince you, while the Full Moon in Taurus reminds you that freedom and stability are not necessarily enemies. You can have a life full of adventures without constantly running away from something. From October 24, with Mercury Retrograde, think carefully before promising trips, projects and existential revolutions to those who may not arrive at the end of the year with your friendship and knowledge.

Magic moment: October 25 - the desire to change plans returns.
Your Trick or Treat Candy: Sparkling candy - comes, explodes and leaves a trail of chaos.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LUCK: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Capricorn

This month he makes you an indecent proposal: to give up control for a moment. Venus Retrograde could make you question some choices related to career, image and priority, while the New Moon in Libra asks you to understand if you are building a life that you really like or one that works. The Full Moon in Taurus, on the 26th, brings a concrete answer. And maybe you'll find that success doesn't do much good if you never have time to enjoy it.

Magic moment: October 28 - you are much further ahead than you thought.
Your Trick or Treat candy: crunchy toffee - solid, durable, and with a sweet, creamy reward hidden under that shell.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LUCK: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Aquarius

October makes you want to do a huge reset of your social life. The New Moon in Libra opens up new possibilities, but Venus Retrograde also invites you to carefully observe some friendships or relationships. From October 23, the Scorpion Sun pushes you to more serious issues, especially concerning your ambitions and your reputation. And with Mercury Retrograde from 24, pay attention to the sarcastic answers sent to the wrong person: your sense of humor is not always translatable via chat.

Magic moment: October 14 - an unconventional solution comes to mind.
Your Trick or Treat Candy: Sour green apple candies - because you're brilliant and unpredictable.

HOTNESS: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LOVE: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
LUCK: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Pisces

Venus Retrograde in Scorpio invites you to distinguish between intuition and nostalgia: not everything you lack is necessarily something that you have to recover from the bottom of the closet. The Sun then enters the same sign on the 23rd and amplifies creativity, desire for escape and sensitivity. Watch out for Mercury Retrograde: from October 24, you could interpret an emoji as if it were an encrypted message from the universe.

Magic moment: October 30 - you didn't need any more tests.
Your Trick or Treat candy: gummy bears - perfectly reflect your October mood!
