Your October 2026 Horoscope for Virgo
by Susan MillerMercury will go retrograde later in the month from October 24 to November 13, and Mercury will spend the entire retrograde in Scorpio. Mercury is your ruler, so you will feel this retrograde more strongly than others. Do your best to avoid signing papers during the retrograde—it behooves you to move talks along and prepare a final agreement in the first week of October.
Mercury will retrograde in your solar third house, so you will need to go the extra mile to make sure others are picking up the right message from you—you’ll need to be crystal clear. Fortunately, Virgo is one of the best communicators of the zodiac (along with Gemini), so you have a natural inclination to be precise in your communication.
If you need to buy a car, laptop, smartphone, or any other electronic device or machine, do so in the first week of October, or wait until after November 13.
Now let’s look more closely at the month of October.
Mars entered Leo on September 27 and will stay there until November 25. Mars will energize your twelfth house of confidential talks, and because Mars rules your eighth house of money, that’s where those talks seem to be centered. (Eighth house money is different from your salary, and it usually arrives in one lump as a commission, royalty, cash advance, bonus, financial court settlement, tax payment or refund, inheritance, divorce settlement, and so forth.) Jupiter, the good fortune planet, is also in your twelfth house and is giving you luck in those meetings—as long as you keep talks private.
