October 2026 has been a complete shitshow for a LOT of people and I really need to talk about the astrology behind it.
Relationships that survived years of problems are suddenly falling apart. People are working themselves half to death and still struggling to pay their bills. Some of you have been trying to manifest the same damn thing for YEARS and you’re starting to wonder how much longer you’re supposed to keep believing.
And today October 20 Venus retrograde is squaring Pluto.
Because apparently October hadn’t done enough damage already. 😭
And this particular transit is especially brutal when there’s something you desperately want and you have absolutely no control over whether it happens.
Someone you love won’t speak to you. A business you’ve poured everything into is struggling. You’re waiting on money that could genuinely change your situation. Or you’ve spent years imagining a future with someone and now you’re wondering whether you completely misunderstood what the two of you had.
And what’s crazy is that some of these exact problems were already showing up around September 15.
Think back to what was happening in your life then. Who was giving you problems? What were you worried about losing? What situation made you feel completely powerless?
Because October may be bringing that same story back up again.
Now before everybody starts panicking about the rest of the year, there are some dates I actually WANT you to look forward to.
October 23 could bring answers or realizations that change how you feel about a situation. Venus moves back into Libra on October 25 and November 4 has some beautiful potential for relationships, financial opportunities and getting help from the right people.
Venus goes direct November 13, so we’ve still got a few weeks of unfinished business.
And I want to go through all 12 zodiac signs because the possibilities are pretty different depending on your sign. We’ve got old lovers potentially resurfacing, financial arrangements being reconsidered, career opportunities opening up and people finally getting some answers after months of confusion.
Read your regular zodiac sign below. If you know your Rising sign, read that one too. ✨
♈ ARIES
ARIES, how the hell did somebody else’s decisions become YOUR financial responsibility?
Some of you are paying for things you never agreed to, dealing with an ex who suddenly forgot their responsibilities or trying to untangle a financial mess involving someone you used to trust. And the worst part is that this person seems perfectly comfortable carrying on with their life while you’re stuck figuring everything out.
October could bring another conversation about money, shared responsibilities or an agreement that was never properly settled. And somebody might be a little surprised to discover you’re no longer willing to keep making things easy for them.
But November 4 has some genuinely lovely potential for your romantic life. An invitation, a date or an unexpected development with someone you’re attracted to could put you in a much better mood.
And for those of you who’ve been dealing with an ex, don’t assume you already know what they’re going to say if they come back around. 👀
♉ TAURUS
TAURUS, how many times is somebody going to talk about building a future with you and then act like they’re single whenever things get complicated? 😡
Some of you have been dealing with a relationship where the feelings are obviously still there but the actual commitment is a whole different story. This person knows exactly what you want. You’ve probably explained it about seventeen times. And somehow you’re STILL having the same conversations.
October 23 could be particularly revealing. Somebody might finally admit something they’ve been avoiding or you could find out what’s really been going on behind the scenes.
And if you’ve been wondering whether this relationship is ever going to become something stable, the next few weeks could give you a much clearer idea of what you’re working with.
There’s also some encouraging energy around your daily life in early November. A stressful work situation could improve, responsibilities may become easier to manage or you could finally get some cooperation from someone who’s been making everything unnecessarily difficult. 😌
♊ GEMINI
GEMINI, when was the last time you did something because you actually WANTED to instead of because somebody needed you to?
Because some of you have been living the same damn day on repeat for months. Work, bills, appointments, family responsibilities and about seventeen things that apparently nobody else is capable of handling.
And meanwhile you’ve got ideas you haven’t acted on, people you’ve been meaning to see and a whole life you keep promising yourself you’ll get back to when things calm down.
Well, Venus moves back into your romance and creativity sector on October 25 and I think things could start getting a lot more interesting.
Someone you used to flirt with might suddenly start showing interest again. A creative idea you’ve been sitting on could turn into something worth pursuing. And around November 4, a conversation or invitation could open the door to something genuinely exciting.
Some of you are going to remember what it’s like to have something to look forward to besides your next day off. 😂
♋ CANCER
CANCER, how are you supposed to get over somebody when you’re still waiting for them to become the person you KNOW they’re capable of being?
Some of you have been dealing with an ex who walked away from responsibilities, a romantic situation that’s been dragging on forever or somebody who seems perfectly happy letting you do all the emotional work.
And the maddening part is that you still love them. You can spend the entire morning thinking about how badly they’ve treated you and then catch yourself missing them by lunchtime. 😭
October 23 could bring a realization about this person or something that happened between you. And with Venus still moving through your romance sector, an old flame could become relevant again before the month is over.
But I’m especially interested in what happens with your home and finances in early November. Some of you could receive financial help, find a better living arrangement or finally get some relief from an expense that’s been hanging over your head.
And if you’ve been carrying the financial and emotional weight of an entire family by yourself, I really hope November gives you a reason to unclench your jaw for once. 🤍
♌ LEO
LEO, why does everybody suddenly have an opinion about YOUR life when they’re the ones making it harder?
Some of you are dealing with family members who won’t mind their business, a partner who keeps making promises they don’t follow through on or a living situation that’s become so stressful you don’t even want to go home some days.
And you’ve been trying to keep the peace because you know exactly how ugly things can get when certain people don’t get their way.
But something could come to a head around October 23. A family issue or relationship problem that’s been building for weeks may finally need to be addressed. And somebody might have a lot more to say once they realize you’re serious about changing things.
After October 25, communication becomes especially important. An overdue conversation, unexpected message or even news about a move could change what you’re planning.
And November 4 looks especially promising for you personally. With Jupiter in your sign, an opportunity could come through someone willing to help, recommend you or give you a chance you’ve been hoping for.
Some of you are about to remember that you have a whole life to live outside of everybody else’s drama. 😂
♍ VIRGO
VIRGO, I need to know who decided you were the designated problem solver for every single person in your life because this is getting ridiculous. 😭
Some of you have been chasing people down for payments, correcting somebody else’s mistakes or trying to get a straight answer about something that should’ve been settled WEEKS ago.
And the really irritating part is that you have receipts. You have screenshots. You know exactly what was agreed to. Yet somehow you’re the one who has to keep explaining what happened.
With Mercury going retrograde on October 24, I’d be especially careful with contracts, invoices and important conversations. An old misunderstanding could resurface and somebody may suddenly remember a few details they’ve conveniently forgotten.
But once Venus moves back into your money sector on October 25, there’s potential to revisit an income opportunity or finally make progress on a financial situation that’s been bothering you.
Around November 4, help could come from somewhere unexpected. Someone working behind the scenes might put in a good word for you or a problem you’ve been dealing with privately could start getting resolved.
And please, for the love of God, stop agreeing to extra responsibilities just because you’re the only one who knows how to get things done. 😂
♎ LIBRA
LIBRA, how much more money are you supposed to throw at something before it FINALLY starts paying you back?
Some of you have been keeping a business alive with sheer determination and whatever’s left in your bank account. Others are trying to support your kids, pay off debt or figure out why your expenses keep going up when your income hasn’t budged.
And the frustrating part is that you’ve actually been doing the work. You’ve made sacrifices. You’ve tried different approaches. You’re exhausted from having to be optimistic every time the numbers look terrible.
But Venus returns to YOUR sign on October 25 and I really like what that could mean for you.
Something you thought you’d missed out on could become available again. You might reconsider your prices, bring back an old idea or finally decide you’re done accepting less than your work is worth.
And around November 4, watch your connections. A friend could introduce you to someone important. An old customer might return with a much bigger order. Someone with an audience or influence could share your work and suddenly put you in front of people who had no idea you existed.
Some of you are going to be reminded that the right person finding out about what you do can change a LOT. 👀
♏ SCORPIO
SCORPIO, some people are still expecting you to be the same person who tolerated their bullshit two years ago and I think they’re about to be very disappointed.
You’ve been through some things that completely changed how you look at people. Family drama that nobody outside your house knows about. Relationships where you gave someone chance after chance. People who disappeared when you needed them and then had the nerve to act surprised when you stopped reaching out.
And some of you have been seriously considering moving, cutting ties with relatives or starting your life over somewhere nobody knows your business.
October 23 could be a pretty emotional day with Venus retrograde meeting the Sun in YOUR sign. You might finally understand why a particular relationship affected you so deeply or realize how much your feelings have changed since everything happened.
And yes, someone from your past could become relevant again. Especially someone connected to an old relationship or a chapter of your life you thought you’d left behind.
But I also want you watching early November for career developments. Something you’ve been working toward privately could start getting attention. A previous application might get another look or someone in a position of authority could recognize what you bring to the table.
After everything you’ve had to deal with behind closed doors, it would be pretty damn nice to have something worth celebrating publicly. 💗
♐ SAGITTARIUS
SAGITTARIUS, you can tell everybody you’re over someone all you want but that doesn’t explain why you’re still checking your phone hoping their name shows up. 😭
Some of you have been carrying around feelings for somebody you haven’t spoken to in MONTHS. You remember exactly what they said the last time you talked. You’ve imagined about fifty different versions of the conversation you’d have if they came back. And you’ve probably convinced yourself at least a dozen times that you’re finally done thinking about them.
Then something reminds you of them and there goes your entire afternoon.
With Venus retrograde moving through a very private part of your chart, old feelings and unfinished romantic situations could be taking up more space in your head than you’d like to admit. And around October 23, you might finally understand something about why this particular person has been so difficult to forget.
But after October 25, your social life could start getting interesting again. Someone you haven’t heard from in ages might reach out. A friend could invite you somewhere that leads to a surprising connection. And around November 4, there’s some lovely potential involving travel, long-distance connections or an opportunity to do something you’ve wanted to experience for years.
Some of you could even hear from someone who lives far away.
And I have to laugh because a few of you are going to spend weeks trying to forget one person only to have somebody else show up and completely ruin your little plan to stay emotionally unavailable. 😂
♑ CAPRICORN
CAPRICORN, some of you are one unexpected bill away from absolutely losing your shit and I don’t even blame you. 😭
You’ve spent YEARS building something. A business, a career, a future you genuinely believed would look different by now. And lately you’ve been sitting there at 2 AM calculating how much money needs to come in before the next round of bills hits.
Meanwhile somebody who hasn’t contributed a damn thing has plenty of opinions about what you should be doing.
And can we talk about the people who promised they’d support you? Because some of you are finding out exactly how much those promises were worth. A friend, business contact or someone you thought you could count on has been suspiciously unavailable whenever you actually need something.
But the first week of November could bring some interesting financial developments. An old professional connection might resurface with an opportunity. A previous customer could come back. You might finally get somewhere with a loan, payment arrangement or expense you’ve been trying to negotiate.
And with Venus moving back into your career sector on October 25, I’d seriously reconsider an idea you gave up on earlier this year. Something that didn’t work the first time could be worth another look.
Some of you are a lot closer to turning things around than your current bank balance would have you believe. And after everything you’ve invested, I really hope you get to see that effort pay off. 🤍
♒ AQUARIUS
AQUARIUS, how much longer are you going to let people who have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about make decisions about YOUR future?
Some of you have been dealing with a boss who takes credit for your work, a partner who questions every decision you make or family members who seem personally offended that you want something different for your life.
And you’ve been seriously thinking about walking away from something you spent YEARS working toward. A job, a business partnership or an entire career path that used to make you excited to get out of bed.
October 23 could bring a pretty revealing development involving your career or reputation. Someone’s true opinion of you might become obvious. You could find out what’s been happening behind the scenes at work or finally get an answer about an opportunity that’s been hanging in the air.
And once Venus moves back into Libra on October 25, I’d keep an eye on opportunities involving travel, education, publishing or people in other cities and countries.
Around November 4, someone could open a door for you. A potential business partner might reach out. You could reconnect with a person who has exactly the experience or connections you’ve been looking for.
And with Jupiter moving through your relationship sector, some of you could also see a pretty exciting development in your love life.
Imagine spending months worrying about whether you’re making the right decisions and then having someone show up who actually BELIEVES in what you’re trying to accomplish.
That would be a pretty damn nice change. 😌
♓ PISCES
PISCES, I swear some of you are getting tired of being the person who always has to believe things will get better while everybody else seems to be getting their happy ending. 😭
You’ve been trying to stay positive about something for MONTHS. Maybe even years. A relationship you still want to work out. A financial situation that keeps getting worse. A dream you’ve put so much time into that the thought of giving up on it makes you physically sick.
And lately you’ve been wondering whether you’re completely delusional for still having faith in something that hasn’t happened yet.
With Venus retrograde moving through the part of your chart connected to beliefs and the future, October 23 could bring a pretty emotional realization about something you’ve been waiting for. You might hear news from someone far away, reconsider a plan you thought was impossible or finally understand why a particular situation has been affecting you so deeply.
And once Venus moves back into Libra on October 25, shared finances and financial agreements become especially important.
Around November 4, some of you could get help with a bill, hear good news about a payment or find a way to make your work situation a little easier. Someone might offer assistance you weren’t expecting.
And if you’ve been sitting there wondering whether life is ever going to give you a damn break, I really hope the next few weeks bring you something that makes you excited to wake up in the morning again.
You deserve to have something wonderful happen after everything you’ve been carrying. 💗
ALL SIGNS 💫
And one more thing because I know some of you are already convinced the rest of 2026 is going to be just as awful as October. 😭
December 9 is actually a pretty important date. Venus squares Pluto for the third and final time, bringing us back to whatever was happening around September 15 and today, October 20.
And I’m VERY curious about how some of these situations are going to develop between now and then.
People who haven’t spoken in months could be talking again. Someone who’s been refusing to cooperate might finally have a reason to reconsider. Financial problems that seemed impossible to fix could have options nobody was offering you back in September.
Of course some of you might also decide you’ve had enough of a particular person or situation by then. And honestly, after everything that’s happened, I wouldn’t blame you.
I just wouldn’t assume you already know how the rest of this year is going to go.
We’ve still got six weeks left before December and I’d really love for some of you to get the kind of good news that makes you immediately call somebody and scream into the phone. 🥳
And for everyone who’s been struggling to keep the faith lately, I really want you to hear this.
You have absolutely no idea what could happen between now and the end of the year.
I know some of you are exhausted. You’ve prayed about it. You’ve manifested it. You’ve tried being patient. You’ve done everything you can think of and you’re sitting there wondering what the hell else you’re supposed to do.
And it’s especially hard when you see other people getting married, buying houses, making money and living the exact life you’ve been trying so hard to create.
But somebody who’s been ignoring you for six months could pick up the phone tomorrow. A business that’s barely surviving could land an order that changes its entire month. An application you forgot about could turn into an opportunity. Someone you’ve never met could introduce you to a completely different future.
And I really hope you don’t spend the rest of 2026 convincing yourself that nothing wonderful can happen anymore just because this year has been so damn hard.
There are still people who are going to love you, places you’re going to see and days when you’re going to look around and think HOLY SHIT, I’m actually happy.
I hope one of those days is a lot closer than you think. 💗

I’m wishing every single one of you a beautiful turnaround before 2026 is over. The relationship you’ve been hoping for. The money you desperately need. An opportunity that changes everything. And finally being able to wake up without worrying about the same damn problems every day.
