Your October 2026 Horoscope for Aries
by Susan MillerIt’s not wise to go for cosmetic dentistry for the first time (the “birth” of your treatment is marked by the first time you go for such treatment). For example, don’t have your first visit for braces or veneers. You can go for follow-up treatments, however. And it’s fine to go for a haircut or a touch-up for color, but it’s not the time to try a completely and dramatically new cut or color. If you read my September forecast, I went into detail about Venus retrograde.
Mercury will be retrograde from October 24 to November 13, going direct the same day Venus goes direct. In the meantime, you can sign paperwork in early October, but aim to stay as far away as possible from the day Mercury turns retrograde, October 24. If you need to buy a new computer, smartphone, or a car, do so in early October. You will start to feel disruptive static from Mercury in advance of October 24, so shop and sign papers within the first two weeks of October.
Mercury will be retrograde in your eighth house of other people’s money, your financial sector in Scorpio, so again, delays regarding money could crop up. If you are anticipating an infusion of venture capital, for example, your investor may change his or her mind, so to be kind to yourself, don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Or the money may indeed arrive but on a date later than you anticipated.
However, sometimes the opposite happens—money promised to you a long time ago finally comes in when Mercury retrogrades. An example would be a raise or bonus promised six months ago or so that finally materializes.
