Your October 2026 Horoscope for Aquarius
by Susan MillerWe often take the help we get from the planets for granted, but when they are retrograde, we sense their absence. We have to work harder to fill in for what the planet would have done for us.
Single Aquarians should not meet a new love interest for the first time during Venus retrograde. Venus rules love and romance, along with warmth and affection, but if your initial meeting is during Venus retrograde, the relationship could cool off too quickly. Although you are the one sign most likely to wed this year (and also during the first half of next year) and are the most blessed for getting engaged (thanks to Jupiter), don’t do so, if possible, during the Venus retrograde.
Venus governs attractiveness, so put off scheduling Botox, fillers, or a facelift. Delay cosmetic dental work too, but only if you are starting the lengthy process now—if you have started and are going back for a checkup, that’s OK. At the salon, don’t ask your stylist to create a dramatically different cut or color to your hair until after November 13.
If you change your looks during the retrograde, you might not like the results. Of course, throughout the retrograde follow good grooming—have haircuts, trims, and color touch-ups—it is only radical changes in appearance that should be put off. Here I am talking about going from brunette to platinum blonde, or having your long hair cut pixie short.
