Month of October

Aries

It was a handshake between the Sun, in his final days in your work sector and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your career sector last month that has allowed them to pass the baton, knowing that while they won't meet up again, by the end of the year other planets will. Juno not only returned to your career sector late last year, but she was here, along with a host of other planets as you moved into the New Year and until leaving in March, she helped to define your professional resolutions for the coming year, while keeping the influence of planets like Mars in play. Those planets one by one left until Juno herself left in March.

That should have ended all planetary activity on the career front until the Sun and Mercury return in December and Juno shouldn't be back for another four years. Instead, a retrograde turn not only saw Juno return in June, but just as Venus had returned to begin the first planetary activity on the job front this year. That push only ended when the Sun left last month.

This was just a few days after Juno turned retrograde, ending a chance to go back and review the resolutions made early in the year. Where the Sun's departure last month has ended all planetary activity on the job front, Juno's departure on 24th October will end all planetary activity on the career front, though in both cases, not for the rest of the year. While the Sun and Mercury won't return to your career sector until December, Mars' return to your work sector at the end of next month will be firing things up on the job front again by then.

Until then, the Moon's return to your work sector from 7th October to 9th October will be a chance to check in and as the first visit since the Sun left and coming full circle from last month's New Moon, with a chance to tie up loose ends. Meanwhile, the Moon's return to your career sector from 17th October to 19th October will be a chance to move into Juno's final days with your professional instincts sharp.

Taurus

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your work sector, the solar spotlight is always on your work situation, job matters and options at this time of year, always has been and always will. With continuous planetary activity on the other side of the sky in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart for over nine decades, it is also a given that at some point the planets are going to clash, bringing a now familiar annual reminder when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. The more intense of those reminders will be the Full Moon that will always fall at some point during the Sun's month long visit, something that is now behind you.

More recent but now baked in is that with Pluto having returned to your career sector in November 2024 and not leaving until 2044, every planet returning to your career sector each month is going to form a friendly aspect and since Uranus returned to your income sector in April to spend the next seven years there, a friendly aspect to him as well. Uranus and Pluto are already a team, with their friendly aspect in July the first of five times they will come together between now and May 2028. By the time you move into the new month, the Sun has already moved into a friendly aspect to both and will remain in harmony until he leaves your work sector on 23rd October.

While Mercury will leave your work sector on 1st October, not before leaving you with everything needed to keep your head in the game and your feet on the ground and while Venus has already passed through, she will retrograde back in on 25th October, two days after the Sun leaves. At the same time, while the month gets off to a good start on the income, work and career fronts, when the Moon moves through your income sector from 1st October to 3rd October, again from 28th October to 30th October, through your work sector from 9th October to 11th October and to your career sector from 19th October to 22nd October, they will all be high power days on all three fronts.

Gemini

While the Sun's return to your work sector on 23rd October is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your work situation, job matters and options, there are exciting developments on the job front long before that. By the time you move into the new month, Venus is three weeks into what is normally a 24 day transit through your work sector, where as the planet of money, desire and attraction, she will be working to fuel your job confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction. However, instead of leaving, Venus is instead slowing ahead of a retrograde on 3rd October that will not only keep her here until she retrogrades back out on 25th October, but once back in direct motion she will return in early December to end the year here.

Meanwhile, when Mercury returns on 1st October for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to work smarter, get your head in the game, think on your feet and have the communication lines open, he will already be slowing down ahead of his retrograde turn here on 24th October. This is a day before Venus retrogrades back out, but he won't do the same and will instead remain here until 6th December. With Venus returning on 4th October, between them they are going to not only keep the momentum going on the job front for the rest of the year, but in partnership with the dwarf planet Ceres, who is doing the same on the income front.

You will get a read on both and the interplay between income and job matters when the Moon moves through your work sector from 12th October to 14th October. Meanwhile, by the time the Sun returns on 23rd September, Mercury and Venus will be getting ready to part, but with heart and head in the game and on the same page, while opening both new and old doors. With the Moon moving through your career sector from 22nd October to 24th October, this will ensure your professional instincts are sharp as the Sun returns, Mercury turns retrograde and Venus prepares to leave.

Cancer

After the intensity of the Full Moon in your career sector late last month, things have dialled back, but what this has set in motion or triggered will continue to play out. While this is a Full Moon that will always fall halfway between when the Sun and the rest of the faster planets moved through six months ago and when they start returning again in March next year. At a time of year when the outer planets that are keeping things active year round are all in retrograde motion, this can help jump start things that have gone off the boil, become stuck or could just need a bit of a push.

While that is the case each year, just as Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams has returned in January to spend the next 13 years here and Saturn, a few weeks later to spend until April 2028 giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn those dreams into reality. As well, you have the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos who has been here for over nine decades and is here for another two decades. Now that those planets have been awoken by the Full Moon, they are going to guide things as they continue to play out.

This has been given a further boost by Mars, the warrior planet of the cosmos' return to your income sector two days after the Full Moon peaked. When the Moon returns to your work sector from 14th October to 16th October, where there is no planetary activity, as well as a chance to check in on work and job matters, the Moon will form a friendly aspect to the planets in your career sector and to Jupiter and Mars in your income sector as it moves through. In the heart of a working week, this is going to power things up on the income, work and career fronts.

It is a week later that the Moon will return to your career sector from 24th October to 26th October. As well as sharpening your professional instincts, coming full circle from last month's Full Moon, this is when things triggered then could come home to roost, with some unexpected developments.

Leo

When Chiron retrograded back out of your career sector last month, it did two things. The first is that this ended all planetary activity on the career front for the year. The second is that because Chiron was in retrograde motion and as the planet of wisdom, knowledge and healing, he was more focused on reviewing and learning from the professional year so far, this took the brakes off, setting free the momentum that had been building from the continuous stretching all the way back to last year.

This was a day after the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment turned direct in your work sector, taking the brakes off work and job matters. While Juno isn't a major player, she had returned to your work sector in December 2025, just as the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus were all returning to get the year off to an empowered start on the job front. This was Juno's first visit in four years and she was there, with them to help set your resolutions for the coming year.

Over the coming weeks, one by one the rest of the planets left, until Juno was the last planet standing and until leaving in March, she helped to cement your resolutions and the resolve to hold on to the advantage you had gained. When she left, it should have been four years before Juno returned but instead, in June she retrograded back in, with a chance to revisit those resolutions. Back in direct motion and leaving again on 24th October, Juno is giving you the resolve to bring things home, this time having had a chance to revise those initial resolutions.

That Juno was here during the final months of all planetary activity on the career front and through all planetary activity on the income front means that she is carrying the flag for everything so far across the income, work and career fronts. The Moon will make its last visit before Juno leaves from 17th October to 19th October, with a chance to go into these final days with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. It is a week later that the Moon will not only return to your career sector from 26th October to 28th October, but as a Full Moon.

This can act as a trigger for everything that has been building all year and is now ripe for harvest.

Virgo

While you begin the month with every planet in your two professional houses, that won't be the case all month and despite that, the month is getting off to an empowered start across the income, work and career fronts. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your income sector, the solar spotlight is always on your income situation, matters and options at this time of year, always has been and always will. However, relatively new is that in 2044 Pluto returned to your career sector, where he will spend the next 20 years and in April, Uranus returned to your career sector, where he will spend the next seven years.

Until Uranus leaves in 2033 he and Pluto will work as a team and in July they moved into the first of five friendly aspects between now and May 2028. This means that when the Sun and the faster planets return to your income sector each year, they are going to move into a friendly aspect to both and because they are still so closely connected, it is going to happen within days of each other. Venus did this when she returned to your income sector in August, Mercury who will leave your income sector on 1st October did when he returned last month and so did the Sun.

Except as you move into the new month, the Sun is still separating from its friendly aspect to both. It also means that when the Moon returns to your career sector from 1st October to 3rd October, as well as a chance to move into the new month with your professional instincts sharp from the start, it is going to make a positive connection to the Sun, Uranus and Pluto, getting the month off to an empowered start on the income, work and career fronts. While the Sun will have left your income sector by the time the Moon comes around again from 28th October to 30th October, by then Venus will have retrograded back into your income sector and will do it again.

This will also happen when the Moon moves through your work sector from 19th October to 22nd October. With Pluto turning direct on 16th October, this will be just as he has taken the brakes off and just before Juno, the queen of commitment's return on 16th October.

Libra

When Mars left your career sector at the end of last month, this should have ended all planetary activity on the career front for the year and if he had, this would have left you with more than enough momentum to bring this professional year home. Mars hadn't just spent the previous seven weeks fuelling your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit, but he was just one of a continuous line of planetary activity stretching all the way back to May 2025. This included Jupiter's 12 month quest for professional growth and expansion, which only ended in June.

Had that been it for the year, you would still be in a good position but instead, this isn't the end of a run of continuous planetary activity and it won't be until the dwarf planet Ceres finally leaves in May 2027, two years after Jupiter returned to get the ball rolling. However, Ceres is not Mars and this means you can take your foot off the gas, with her focus on your professional needs and priorities and on professional satisfaction making it easier to manage your time and resources. Ceres had returned for what is normally a three month visit, but it is a retrograde turn next month that will not only keep her here but will see her form a unique partnership with Venus and Mercury in your income sector.

Venus, who returned to your income sector last month, should be getting ready to leave within days, while Mercury will return on 1st October for what should be a 14 to 15 day chance to use his smart head for money to get your head in the game. Instead, Venus will turn retrograde on 3rd October and Mercury on 24th October, keeping things active for the rest of the year while opening the doors to the past, second chances and untapped income potential, just as Ceres is doing the same on the career front. This will be in evidence when the Moon returns to your career sector from 3rd October to 5th October and again when it returns on 30th October, but also then it moves through your income sector from 12th October to 14th October.

The Moon's return to your work sector from 22nd October to 24th October will be pivotal days across the income, work and career fronts.

Scorpio

So much happened on the job and career fronts in the closing days of September that there will be a need to catch your breath as you adjust to what is going to be a busier than expected month. Fortunately, you not only have time, but a clash between Mars and Pluto over the first weekend of the month will bring a timely work/life balance reminder. It was late last month that a Full Moon in your work sector didn't just jumpstart work and job matters, but it peaked two days before Mars returned to your career sector.

By this point, Jupiter was three months into a 13 month quest for professional growth and expansion and with the Sun, Mercury and Venus having already moved through, was settling in for the long haul. At the same time, with all four planets in your work sector in retrograde motion, they were doing the same. Within 48 hours, the Full Moon was able to jumpstart things on the job front, just as Mars returned to fire up your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit.

Normally moving through in just six weeks, Mars is slowing ahead of a retrograde turn in the New Year that will not only keep him here for two months but will see him return to spend another three months here in the second half of next year. By the time Mars eventually leaves in May, Jupiter will be just two months away from leaving the faster planets will be returning to bring things home. Mars' clash with Pluto will peak on Saturday 3rd October and by Monday 5th October they will be separating, not to clash again.

That this falls over the weekend will make it easier to take any work/life balance reminders on board and considering the journey ahead, that couldn't be more important. By coincidence, this is also when Mars' friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams in your work sector will peak, turning any doubts or pressure this might create into motivation. Over the course of the next two months, Mars will not only align with Jupiter but form a friendly aspect to all four planets in your work sector.

Things will become even tighter between work and job matters when the Moon moves through your career sector from 5th October to 7th October and through your work sector from 24th October to 26th October.

Sagittarius

As you move into the new month, for both the first and the last time this year, you are in the unique position of having no planets in either of your two professional houses and it is something that couldn't be more important. As well as a chance to let things so far play out, this is a chance to catch your breath before things start up again. This only quiet patch this year began on 18th September when Chiron not only left your work sector but ended continuous planetary activity that had stretched all the way back to last year.

While the pace dialled back when Mars left at the end of June and even more so once Chiron turned retrograde, he still kept things active. Because Chiron retrograded back out and because he is the planet of wisdom, knowledge and healing, his final weeks were more a chance to review and learn from the year so far. It was five days later that the Sun not only left your career sector but ended continuous activity on the career front stretching all the way back to the South Node's return in January 2025.

Unlike the planetary activity on the job front, which won't pick up again until April, on the career front things are taking a rest until Mars not only returns next month but won't leave until February. With 2027 set to be your biggest career year in over a decade, Mars will be working to both bring this professional year home and prepare for the next. Meanwhile, with no planets in either of your two professional houses, the Moon's monthly visits have become a lot more important.

The Moon has just left your work sector as you move into the new month, giving you a chance to begin the month with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start. It is a week into the month that the Moon will return to your career sector from 7th October to 9th October. As well as a chance to sharpen your professional instincts and act as a trigger, coming full circle from last month's New Moon, this could see a number of things fall into place.

Meanwhile, the Moon will not only return to your work sector again from 26th October to 28th October, but as a Full Moon will have enough power behind it to bring things to fruition and to a head, turning and/or tipping point.

Capricorn

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your career sector, the solar spotlight is always on your career and professional situation, matters and options at this time of year. However, with a lot of water having already passed under the bridge since the Sun returned on the September equinox and by the end of the month some unexpected developments as well. By the time you move into the new month, Venus has already moved through and Mercury has just left, allowing you to move into the new month with your head in the game and your heart having had its voice.

While the Moon will move through your work sector from 1st October to 3rd October and this will be a chance to also begin the month with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start, it will also lead to a positive start to the month on the income, work and career fronts. While it is a given that as the Moon moves through it will align with Uranus in your work sector and form a friendly aspect to both the Sun and to Pluto in your income sector, it comes just as the Sun is separating from the same aspects. As this is the Moon's first visit since Uranus turned retrograde and the last before Pluto turns direct on 16th October, they will have the doors open to the past, second chances and untapped potential at the same time.

That will be the case a week later when the Moon moves through your career sector from 9th October to 12th October, once again bringing things together on the income, work and career fronts but as a New Moon, also giving things the green light. The Moon's return to your income sector from 19th October to 22nd October will be another pivotal point in the month. Once again, these will be positive days on the income, work and career fronts, but with the Sun leaving your career sector on 23rd October and Venus retrograding back in for a do over on 25th October, with a chance to go into these pivotal days with a sharp nose for money.

Aquarius

At the same time that things are toning down on the job front, it is building on the career front to a point where they are more evenly balanced, while at the same time there is a growing link and similarities between the two. It was in the final days of September that Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos left your work sector, but not before spending seven weeks fuelling your work passions, fighting and competitive spirit in what can be the busiest weeks of any year. While Mars only returned in August, he was one of a continuous line of planetary activity stretching all the way back to Jupiter's return in May 2025.

Mars' departure on 28th September should have brought all planetary activity on the job front for the year to a close but instead, the dwarf planet Ceres is not only staying on to continue her deep dive into your wants, needs and priorities, but she is set to have a lot to do with Venus and Mercury in your career sector. In the meantime, by the time you move into the new month, Venus is three weeks into what is usually a 24 day mission to fuel your professional confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction. Venus should be getting ready to leave when on 1st October, Mercury returns for what should be a 14 to 15 day chance to get your head in the game.

Instead, on 3rd October Venus will turn retrograde, something that will keep her here until 25th October, before returning in December to end the year here. Meanwhile, by the time he returns, Mercury is already slowing down and on 24th October he will turn retrograde as well, something that will keep him here until 6th December. With Venus returning on 4th December, he will keep the seat warm until she returns.

At the same time Ceres, who should be leaving your work sector next month is doing the same and is slowing ahead of a retrograde turn next month that will keep her here until May 2027. By the time the Sun returns to your career sector on 23rd October, both new and old doors will be opening, while the whole month is awash with potential on the job and career fronts.

Pisces

By the end of last month Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion had been in your career sector for three months, not leaving until July 2027 and with the Sun, Venus and Mercury having all left by the end of August, he was heading into the long haul stretch of his quest for job growth and expansion. Over the course of 12 years, Jupiter will spend roughly a year in the 12 different areas of your chart and will always return and leave at around the time that the Sun is there. As Venus and Mercury travel with the Sun, the early and later months of a Jupiter transit are always going to be the busiest and apart from the Moon's monthly visits, he will spend the majority of his time on his own, playing a long game.

That was the point that you got to last month, though with the South Node there to act as a guide, while its partner the North Node monitors how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. However, all that changed when, at the end of last month Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos and a planet that doesn't do slow and steady, returned to fire things up. Normally moving through in six weeks, Mars is slowing ahead of a retrograde turn in the New Year that will not only keep him here until the end of November but will see him return in February to spend another three months here.

This is going to bring work and job matters back into the fast lane, just as the Full Moon in your income sector late last month has given income potential a shot in the arm. The Moon will make its first visit to your work sector since Mars' return from 5th October to 6th October. As well as aligning with Mars, Jupiter and the South Node here, as the Moon moves through it will also form a friendly aspect to the four planets in your income sector, creating some powerful days on the income and job fronts.

The same will be the case when the Moon moves through your income sector from 24th October to 26th October. However, it is when the Moon moves through your career sector from 14th October to 16th October that, as well as sharpening your career sector, will energise things across the income, work and career fronts.
