Your October 2026 Horoscope for Scorpio
by Susan MillerYour family, roommate, or landlord (if you rent) will also need your attention at month’s end. Pluto in Aquarius is newly ensconced in your domestic sector and will tussle with both the Sun in Scorpio and the full moon in Taurus. This could cause ripples in both your private home and family life and your public work life. For example, your family might think you’re too wrapped up in your career and feel neglected, or something urgent may come up at home that causes you to drop what you’re doing at work to find a solution. Keep your schedule light at month’s end so that you can soothe those who need you the most.
This is a month of looking back because both Venus and Mercury will be retrograde. Venus will retrograde from October 3 to November 13. She will retrograde first in Scorpio until October 25 and then move backward through Libra for the rest of the retrograde.
Mercury will go retrograde from October 25 to November 13—the same day that Venus will go direct. Mercury will retrograde entirely in Scorpio, so both Venus and Mercury will strongly affect your thinking. Although you may come to certain conclusions about various relationships in your life, realize that you could change your mind more than once in the coming weeks. That often happens during retrograde periods. Don’t come to a final conclusion until after November 13 (and leave a space of days after that date to allow both Venus and Mercury to settle down and regulate their orbits).
