Monthly Transits – October 2026

“Reevaluating bonds and boundaries”

October’s astrology stirs the pot, ignites feminine rage, requires soul-level reflection, and promises to deliver revelations, consequences and reckonings. Prepare for significant change – entirely new foundations may be required.

As October begins, Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio while Mercury makes a t-square to Mars opposite Pluto and the Sun opposes Saturn. This transformative, friction-heavy astrology shows us where change is going to be required. The Libra New Moon on the 10th is a consequential choice point that occurs during a tense Venus/Mars square.

Expect action with plenty of twists and turns mid-month as Mars trines Saturn and Venus goes on to square Pluto before she meets the Sun at the Scorpio 1 Venus Star Point. Mercury stations retrograde on the eve of a humbling Taurus Full Moon square Pluto that will put some previously hidden truths on full display. Economic hardship or financial pressure is likely to be a significant theme around this Full Moon, and while there will be no “easy button”, collaboration with others will help us to see the light at the end of a dark cycle.

Venus re-enters her home sign of Libra the day of the Full Moon where she will finish up her retrograde cycle in pursuit of justice, stronger relationships and greater balance – she stations direct mid-November.
