October 2026 - Re-Evaluating Relationships & Resources

This month of October there will be a strong focus on re-evaluating our relationships and our resources. Both Venus, ruler of partnerships, and Mercury, ruler of the mental realm, will be shifting to retrograde motion in the intense, psychological sign of Scorpio. This will guide us to deep truths and contemplating unfinished business in our associations with others, and in money matters.

For Venus, there will be a deep dive into the emotional shadows, addressing issues around jealousy, control, shared finances, and raw vulnerability. Old relationship issues, past partners, or unresolved emotional wounds may resurface. Power struggles and inequalities are also highlighted. Venus in Scorpio craves raw honesty and passion in her interactions with others.

For Mercury, ruler of thoughts and perceptions, there is a desire to uncover hidden information and secrets. Expect old conversations and hidden resentments to resurface. There is no surface level small talk with this placement. It is time for raw honesty and to clear the air of unspoken tensions. Power, control, manipulation and obsessions are all themes to be explored.

One thing is for sure! Since both of these planetary bodies are in determined Scorpio, there is sure to be profound transformation and rebirth happening!

Blessings of Love and Light to All!
