Your October 2026 Horoscope for Virgo
by Susan MillerIf you feel like making a costume this year, know that the transiting moon will be in the lovely family-oriented sign of Cancer, a sign that blends perfectly with your Virgo Sun. You are likely to have a great time, and you’ll weave a golden memory in the process.
SUMMARY
Mars entered Leo on September 27, to stay until November 25, so during that time you will be in a quiet planning stage rather than center stage. You are a reserved soul, so this news may be fine with you. It is natural for you to do thorough research and planning before you take action, and Mars’s position will give you the time to do so. Once you reach November 25, Mars will move to Virgo, and you will be on the go. Life will speed up, and you’ll be in a much more visible position.
Looking ahead, action planet Mars will turn retrograde on January 10, 2027, until April 1, 2027. When Mars is retrograde it is NOT a good time to launch a new product or business, nor is it the time to start a new relationship, whether romantic or professional in nature. To better understand this coming trend, Mars is like the gas that you put in your car or the gas you use to turn on your stove to cook your soup—no gas, no go.
During the first quarter of next year, Mars will leave Virgo and move backward into Leo on February 21, 2027. Mars will go direct on April 1 but will still be in Leo. However, once Mars goes direct, the pace of life will quicken noticeably and will start to return to normal again.
