Your October 2026 Horoscope for Scorpio
by Susan MillerGet everything signed, sealed, and delivered in early October, and stay as far away from October 24 as possible. We always feel the slowdown of Mercury retrograde 10 to 14 days ahead of the official turnaround date.
Now let’s look at October in detail. As the month opens, Pluto and Mars will be in direct opposition (October 3). Mars is in your professional sector, and Pluto is in your domestic zone, so you may feel pulled between the demands of your career and your household or family responsibilities. You might be running from pillar to post, unsure of what you should give the most attention. This will be a Saturday, but you may feel this vibration on Friday, October 2.
On the following day, October 4, Saturn will oppose the Sun (also not a great day). Don’t sign papers on a day when Saturn is limiting the Sun’s light. This is a combination of fire (the Sun) and ice (Saturn). You may feel a little depressed, but it could be simply because you need to rest.
You will be very susceptible to criticism, so don’t take anyone’s words to heart. Listen to the feedback, and use it to polish your performance, but don’t be crushed by the input. Don’t let anyone define you—you will feel better in a day or two as this aspect moves off the opposition.
A lovely day follows on October 7 when Mars will sextile Uranus and bring you a golden opportunity to make money. This will be a marvelous day for your career—you might want to use it to make an important presentation, have a job interview, hand in an important report or manuscript, give a speech, or make a public appearance.
