Month of October
Aries
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your relationship sector before returning to your financial sector to put the solar spotlight on your financial situation and money matters, these are always going to be the main themes at this time of year. While the Sun's departure from your relationship sector and return to your financial sector on 23rd October is always a clear dividing line, with the solar spotlight shifting from one to the other, Venus and Mercury will be close but not to the same strict timetable. Either can return before, after or while the Sun is there, blurring the lines and creating a crossover where the focus is on your relationships and money matters at the same time.
This year, that isn't just the case for a few days or weeks, but for the whole month and even some swapping between the two. By the time you move into the new month Venus has already moved through your relationship sector and Mercury, the planet of communication will leave on 1st October, leaving the Sun on his own. However, the Sun won't spend the whole of his remaining time on his own, with the Moon returning from 9th October to 11th October as a New Moon.
While the Sun's departure on 23rd October will end all planetary activity on the relationship front, not for long with Venus, the planet of love retrograding back in for a do over on 25th October.
Meanwhile, Venus not only starts the month in your financial sector, where she will be joined by Mercury on 1st October, but both are slowing ahead of retrograde turns. It is Venus' retrograde turn on 3rd October that will see her retrograde back out on 25th October, only to return again in December once back in direct motion.
While she is gone Mercury, who will turn retrograde on 24th October, will stay here until she returns and will be here when the Sun returns on 23rd October. Yet while your relationships and money matters dominate this month, Mars made a surprise return to a playful and creative part of your chart at the end of last month.
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. However, with help to get the month off to a positive start on the income, work and career fronts. After a rocky start, that saw the Sun confronted by a Full Moon that put how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off shortly after he returned, by the time you move into the new month, he is separating from a friendly aspect to Uranus on the income and Pluto on the career front.
This is something that having the Moon in your income sector from 1st October to 3rd October will tighten even further.
While Venus left your work sector last month and Mercury will leave on 1st October, with a chance to move into the new month with your head in the game from the start. While apart from the Moon's return to your work sector from 9th October to 11th October as a New Moon, something that can give work and job matters the green light, the Sun will be on his own until he leaves on 23rd October, this is not the end of all planetary activity on the job front.
Instead, it is two days later and over six weeks after leaving, on 25th October Venus will retrograde back in for another chance to attract both job potential and the money and she won't leave again until December.
Meanwhile, Venus not only begins the month in your relationship sector, but will be joined by Mercury, the planet of communication on 1st October. By the time you move into the new month Venus is already three weeks into what is normally a 24 day visit while Mercury will return for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to get the communication lines open.
Instead, Venus' retrograde turn on 3rd October will not only keep her here until 25th October, but Mercury's retrograde turn on 24th October will keep him here until December. By the time the Sun returns on 23rd and the solar spotlight shifts onto your relationships, there will be a lot to be excited about.
Gemini
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart before returning to your busy work sector, this is always going to be a month of two halves and at some point an overlapping of the two. While the Sun's return to your work sector on 23rd October is the point when the solar spotlight will always shift from one side of life's fence to the other, Venus and Mercury, who travel with the Sun, can return before or after that point. This is a month when at some point, it is a given that you are going to either have the Sun in a playful and creative part of your chart and Venus and/or Mercury in your busy work sector or the Sun in your work sector while they are still in a playful and creative part of your chart.
That overlap can be for a few days or even weeks but this month, due to the coincidence of both Venus and Mercury retrograding within weeks of each other, that overlap will cover the whole month. 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 she will be working to attract job potential and the money. At the same time, Mercury will return 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 the communication lines open.
Instead, a retrograde turn on 3rd October is going to keep Venus here until 25th October, while a retrograde turn on 24th October will keep Mercury here until December.
Even though the Sun will end the month in your work sector as well and the solar spotlight will be on work and job matters or whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time, on 25th October Venus will retrograde back into a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart to take his place. This will call for guardrails from the start when it comes to a balance between work and play.
Meanwhile, Mars has made a surprise return to your communication sector at the end of last month and as you move into the new month he is just settling into what will be a two month war on communication roadblocks and barriers.
Cancer
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your home and family sector, the solar spotlight is always going to be on home, family and/or property matters at this time of year, though with something special developing towards the end of the month. By the time you move into the new month Venus has already moved through and has already given your heart a voice, with Mercury leaving on 1st October. As the planet of communication and a smart and practical planet, not before leaving you with everything needed to keep your head in the game and the communication lines open.
While the Sun will continue to keep the solar spotlight on things close to home until leaving on 23rd October, when Mercury returns to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart on 1st October, like Venus he has no intention of leaving anytime soon. By the time you move into the new month Venus is already three weeks into what is normally a 24 day visit but instead of leaving, she has come to a standstill and on 3rd October will turn retrograde. Venus will eventually leave on 25th October but will not only return in December to end the year here but to find that Mercury, who will turn retrograde on 24th October, is still here.
By the time the Sun returns on 23rd October, something that at this time each year will always shift the focus onto matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative, this will already be baked in. It is two days later that Venus will retrograde back into your home and family sector, where taking over from where the Sun leaves off and having left last month, will be returning for a do over. This makes the Full Moon late last month and its work/life balance reminders all the more important, for as this has energised things professionally, just as Mars has returned to begin a two month war on income roadblocks and barriers.
Leo
When the Sun left Leo in August, this not only brought your birthday month to a close but brought you to a point where with Jupiter two months into a 13 month visit and a month after the South Node returned to spend the next 18 months providing a sense of direction, they were settled in for the long haul. Apart from the Moon's monthly visit, it should have stayed that way for the rest of the year and right through to just before Jupiter will be getting ready to leave in July 2027. Instead, all that changed when, at the end of last month, Mars returned to spend the next two months firing up your passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit while looking for something to channel this into.
As well as a chance to explore more options, Mars is a planet that likes to make things happen now. Before leaving at the end of next month, Mars will form a friendly aspect to all four planets in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery as he moves through, with a passion for adventure likely to rise during that time. Meanwhile, the Sun has not only moved on, but as he will always spend the first three weeks of October in your communication sector, there is going to be a lot of focus on communication at this time of year.
While Venus left earlier last month and Mercury, the planet of communication will leave on 1st October, not before giving you a head start.
This is also not the last you will see of Venus, for two days after the Sun leaves on 23rd October, she will retrograde back in with a chance to return to her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice. Until then, Venus' focus will be on things close to home, as will Mercury's when he joins her in your home and family sector on 1st October.
As well as putting heart and head in the game and on the same page when it comes to home, family and/or property matters, with Venus turning retrograde on 3rd October and Mercury on 24th October, with a growing focus on the past.
Virgo
When the Sun left Virgo last month, this might have brought your birthday month to an end, but not only has the journey that this new solar year will take you on just begun, but in terms of exploring all your options, there is still more to go. The Sun's departure might have brought your birthday month to a close and ended all planetary activity in Virgo, but not for the year. Instead, with Mars returning to Virgo later next month but not only ending the year here but not leaving until February 2027, this was just the first chapter.
Meanwhile, because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your income sector, the solar spotlight will always be on your income situation, matters and options at this time of year.
While this got off to a bumpy start, with the Sun clashing with a Full Moon in your financial sector late last month and continuing to run the gauntlet of planets there, they are simply policing a balance between money coming in and money going out. This is being balanced by a positive start to the month on the income, work and career fronts.
The Sun is not only benefiting from Venus having already moved through your income sector and from the smart head for money Mercury will leave you with when he leaves on 1st October, but from the support from planets on the job and career fronts.
When the Moon moves through your income sector from 9th October to 11th October as a New Moon, this could give the green light to things across the income, work and career fronts. Meanwhile Mercury, the planet of communication will not only join Venus, the planet of love in your communication sector on 1st October, but over the course of the month they will both turn retrograde here, Venus on 3rd October and Mercury on 24th October.
While this will see Venus retrograde back out and back into your income sector on 25th October, putting her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice on hold, this will keep Mercury here until December.
Libra
Whether you were born in October or in the latter part of September, until the Sun leaves Libra on 23rd October, this is your birthday month and the launch of your new solar year. By the time the Sun returned to Libra last month, a lot of water had already passed under the bridge, with Venus having already moved through and until he leaves on 1st October, with Mercury on hand to ensure you had your head in the game and the communication lines open. After that, apart from when the Moon moves through from 9th October to 11th October, the Sun will be on his own and when the Sun leaves on 23rd October, there will be no planets in Libra and this should be the end of the launch of this new solar year.
However, that is not the case and when the Sun leaves there could be a sense that you've forgotten or missed something, because it won't feel like this is the end of the story, because it won't be. Instead, two days later and over six weeks after leaving, on 24th October Venus, your ruling planet will retrograde back in for a do over and she won't leave until December. Venus will return to Libra around the same time as the Sun, but she can return before, during or after your birthday month.
Depending on when Venus returns, your heart will have the first or the last say in what you want from the coming year. This year you get both.
Until then, it is Venus' retrograde turn on 3rd October that will allow her to make the most of her extended visit to your income sector.
Mercury, who will return on 1st October for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to use his smart head for money to get your head in the game and to think on your feet will also turn retrograde here. It is Mercury's retrograde turn on 24th October that will not only keep him here until December, but he will still be here when Venus returns for a do over. By the time the Sun returns on 23rd October, things will be ripe with income potential.
Scorpio
For you, because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart before returning to Scorpio on 23rd October to begin your birthday month and new solar year, this is a month where the past, present and future are always going to overlap. That is not due to the Sun, for the moment he leaves a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart the month long wind down of your old solar year will end. The overlap comes from Venus and Mercury, who travel close to but sometimes ahead of or behind the Sun.
You are always going to have either one or both still in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart after your birthday month and new solar year has begun or one or both already in Scorpio before the Sun returns. This year you not only have both, but it will flip between the two. By the time you move into the new month Venus has already been in Scorpio for three weeks and on 1st October she will be joined by Mercury.
However, even with heart and mind on the same page and focused on opening new doors, they will both turn retrograde, adding to a sense of nostalgia.
Venus will turn retrograde on 3rd October, something that won't just keep her in Scorpio until 25th October, but two days after the Sun returns to begin your birthday month and new solar year, she will retrograde back into a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart. Mercury will turn retrograde on 24th October, but he will stay in Scorpio until leaving in December, where he will wait until Venus returns.
Yet while there is an overlapping of the past and a lot of nostalgia in the air this month, this is also going to be a busy month, with Mars having returned to spend two months in your career sector at the end of last month, just as a Full Moon has energised things on the job front.
Sagittarius
While the Sun won't return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year until 23rd October and until then will have the solar spotlight on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking, a sense of nostalgia is going to hang over the whole month. By the time you move into the new month, it has been three weeks since Venus, the planet of love returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane that will normally end with her return to Sagittarius 24 days later. However, a retrograde turn on 3rd October won't just keep her here until 25th October, but when she leaves she won't be returning to Sagittarius or at least not yet.
Instead, this will see Venus retrograde back into your friendship sector, two days after the Sun left. This will see Venus put her nostalgic trip down memory lane on hold during the month long wind down of your old solar year, preferring to spend her time back in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, where she will be making the most of the doors this can open to the past, second chances and untapped potential. Meanwhile Mercury, who will also turn retrograde in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 24th October, will stay here until returning to Sagittarius in early December.
Also slowing down are Mars and the dwarf planet Ceres and while Ceres won't return retrograde until next month and Mars not until the New Year, this is slowing them down and giving them more time and that is good news on two fronts. This means that instead of leaving your financial sector, Ceres will stay on and her deep dive into your financial needs and priorities will continue all the way through to May 2027. This also means that instead of rushing through your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in six weeks, Mars has until the end of next month to fuel a passion for adventure and a hunger for life's richer experiences.
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 and this is always going to be an important point in any professional year. While for the Sun things got off to a bumpy start thanks to a Full Moon in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart just days after leaving, this is something that, at some point during his month long visit, is always going to put how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test.
This isn't the only time this will be put to the test, but for the only time when things are going to be that emotionally charged.
With that reminder delivered and with the Sun beginning the month separating from a friendly aspect to Uranus in your work sector and Pluto in your income sector, this is going to get the month off to a positive start. This will get a further boost when the Moon not only moves through your work sector from 1st October to 3rd October, but the contacts it will make will create a lot of positive energy across the income, work and career fronts. It is just a few hours after the Moon returns that Mercury will leave your career sector, ensuring you also have your head in the game from the start.
This will see Mercury join Venus in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, an area of your chart where they will both be reluctant to leave. By the time you move into the new month, Venus is already three weeks into what is normally a 24 day chance to use the laws of attraction and synchronicity to make these some of the most social and serendipitous weeks of any year. At the same time, Mercury returns for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to do what, as the planet of communication, he does best.
However, a retrograde turn on 3rd October will not only keep Venus here until she retrogrades back out on 25th October, but when she returns in December it will be to find Mercury, who will turn retrograde on 24th October still here. They will be joined by the Sun on 23rd October.
Aquarius
Because the Sun will always begin October in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery but end the month in your career sector, this is always going to see the solar spotlight shift from one side of life's fence to the other. However, within a six hour window from year to year, the Sun is going to make that shift at the same time and it will be clear cut, with no overlap, that is not the case for Mercury and Venus, the planets that rule the heart and mind. Venus and Mercury travel with the Sun, but not to the same strict timetable.
You will never not have an overlap when one or the other is still in an adventurous part of your chart after the Sun has returned to your career sector or the other way round.
You are always going to have an overlap, with things moving professionally while there is still a strong sense of adventure in the air, but this year that overlap is going to extend across the whole month. While the Sun won't return to your career sector until 23rd October, by the time you move into the new month Venus has been here for three weeks and she will be joined by Mercury on 1st October.
Venus is already three weeks into what is normally a 24 day visit and Mercury will normally move through in 14 to 15 days. Instead, a retrograde turn on 3rd October will keep Venus here until 25th October.
Thanks to a retrograde turn on 24th October, after retrograding back out, when she eventually returns in December, Mercury will still be here.
This comes just as the dwarf planet Ceres is getting ready to do the same, except her retrograde turn in your work sector next month will keep her here until May and working with the planets on the career front for the rest of the year. Yet while the Sun will leave your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery empty when he leaves on 23rd October, it is just two days later that Venus will retrograde back in for a six week do over, opening the doors to the past and second chances. This makes this a month when it will be important to have some work/life balance guardrails in place from the start.
Pisces
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of October in your financial sector, the solar spotlight is always on your financial situation and money matters at this time of year. At the same time, as your income sector is packed with powerful planets that are here for years if not decades, there is also going to be some tension between the two. You have already experienced this with a Full Moon in your income sector late last month, while the Sun has already clashed with Neptune there and will also clash with Saturn at the start of the month, though not with the other two planets there until just before leaving on 23rd October.
Yet while at the time this might create some financial tension, this is not only something that happens every year and is helping to maintain a balance between money coming in and money going out, support on both sides can turn this into motivation. By the time you move into the new month, the Sun is already separating from a friendly aspect to Uranus and Pluto, while having returned to your work sector late last month to fire things up on the job front, by as early as 3rd October, Mars will be connecting with the first of the four planets in your income sector. This is going to make this a powerful month on both sides of the financial fence.
Meanwhile, while the Sun won't leave and return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery until 23rd October, there will not only be a strong sense of adventure in the air from the start, but a sense of nostalgia as doors start to open to the past and second chances. By the time you move into the new month Venus is three weeks into what is normally a 24 day mission to fuel a desire for adventure, while on 1st October, Mercury will return for what is normally a 14 to 15 day mission to turn your bucket list into a game plan. Instead, a retrograde turn on 3rd October will not only keep Venus here until 25th October, but when she returns in December, thanks to a retrograde turn on 24th October, Mercury will still be here.
