Your October 2026 Horoscope for Aquarius
by Susan MillerOn November 16 Mars and Jupiter will conjoin in Leo, setting off brilliant fireworks in the night sky. While it is true that Mars and Jupiter meet every two years, they always meet in a different, random sign. Here is an astounding fact: When Mars and Jupiter meet next month on Monday, November 16, it will be only the fourth time in the past 100 years that they will have met in Leo and your partnership house!
Take some time to think about how you will use this spectacular day, November 16. You might want to get engaged, or if you are creative, you might sign an agent to represent you. You might sign a new expert at work. Or if you already have a one-to-one equal relationship with a collaborator, such as with a writing partner, business partner, or social media manager, or have an excellent relationship with your advertising agency (as some examples), plan to do something special on that day. A conjunction in astrology signifies the start of a new cycle, one that can last months—or years. It’s THAT important. Impressive personal growth awaits you from what comes of this very special day.
Now let’s come back to October and to another topic. You will have two possibly challenging days to watch coming up over the weekend of October 3 and October 4. You can handle them—I will tell you about them so that you won’t feel broadsided by their challenges.
First, on Saturday, October 3, Mars in Leo will directly oppose Pluto in Aquarius, 180º away. This is an explosive aspect, and you will even see this aspect play out in the news in connection with current events. In your life, you may be triggered by someone who might make a critical comment to you and wound your feelings. Do your best not to overreact. Simply respond quietly. See if you can find any benefit from the criticism and then move on—don’t let this person ruffle your feathers.
