Your October 2026 Horoscope for Libra
by Susan MillerMercury is going to retrograde in the financial sign of Scorpio and your solar second house of earned income. This would not be the time to ask for a raise, a bank loan, or a better commission, or to partake in any other financial negotiations. I would not want you to close on a house during this period, either. Don’t ask your landlord not to raise the rent if you are signing another lease. Lay low. This full moon is flawed. Pluto rules your solar second house, and he is clashing with the Sun and full moon. This is why we study astrology, so that we know when to act and when to hold back.
Halloween will occur on Saturday, October 31. The transiting moon will be in Cancer, the perfect place for a night of family fun. Trick-or-treat with your children in the late afternoon, and build a memory that will last forever.
SUMMARY
In the last days of September there was a full moon in your house of partnerships, so if you’re married, your spouse was on your mind. It appears that your “other half” is under stress and working hard. Fortunately, with a fine vibration from Mars, who rules your marriage sector, your mate will likely be handling the pressure as well as can be expected. The work your spouse is doing is valuable, and it looks as though it will bring them to a higher, more respected level in their industry, so be supportive.
Soon after the month opens, there will be a new moon in Libra (17º) on October 10. Saturn will oppose this new moon, so you may feel that you have too much responsibility on your shoulders lately, and you might be a little overwhelmed. Put off what you can, and only concentrate on what you must do because this new moon may bring up information or an assignment that is outside of your normal purview. You may have to temporarily drop what you are doing and attend to this special task.
