The Month at a Glance

October Numerology · a 2-Month in a 1-Year

October is a 2 month inside 2026's Universal 1 Year. The numerology coincides with a month where Venus heavily influences us. Venus themes of relationships, love that goes deeper than normal. What is new? Are our relationships deserving, not only for others but for and with others?

HIghlights:

Venus turns retrograde on the 3rd in Scorpio and encourages us to pay attention. We have 40 days to review Venus themes and, in Scorpio, this demands that we take a deep dive.

Relationship boundaries – are they strong enough and are we staying true to ourselves while respecting the needs or our partners? Do we need to let go of fear and control in our relationships? Awe we holding intimacy sacred and forming a strong connection? What or who is coming back around to finally settle up?

This is Libra season so we add that dimension of balance. Libra is ruled by Venus. Are we over-spending or being too frugal?Mercury follows retrograde on the 24th, in Scorpio, so for about a week, both planets are retrograde in the same sign at once. That's an intense stretch. Some of the Venus retrograde in Scorpio themes may push you to re-think and look even deeper about how we communicate in relationships and elsewhere. Power struggles and emotions are drawn in to how we speak in think. Are we trusting the right people? Do we trust that Spirit is showing us who and what we need? Mercury in Scorpio wants the truth. We can’t lie to ourselves here.

Contracts, hard conversations, and big purchases are better postponed past mid-November if you can manage it. If you can't, read everything twice.In the middle of the retrogrades, Pluto finally stations direct on the 15th in Aquarius, after months of retrograde review. You can release the brakes and move forward in action. Whatever's been quietly reshaping itself underground since Pluto went retrograde starts moving forward again, on its own schedule, not yours.The Sun crosses into Scorpio on the 23rd, and Scorpio season with two retrogrades already active is about as Scorpio as it gets: less small talk, more "what do you actually mean by that." Two days later, retrograde Venus drifts back into Libra, softening some of the intensity so expect this time period to feel more diplomatic than earlier in the month.

On the 30th retrograde Venus in Libra trines the North Node in Cancer. Allow yourself to receive. Who or what feels like home to you right now? Who or what feels like a loving opportunity for connection? Twin flame?
