♎ Sep 23 - Oct 22

Libra Horoscope for October 2026

Worked out from the real positions of the Sun, Moon and planets, read through your sign's houses.

The Sun starts the month in your first house of self, image and fresh starts. The spotlight turns to you: your body, your plans and the impression you make.

On Oct 23 it moves into your second house of money, possessions and self-worth. Attention goes to income, spending and what you value enough to keep.

Love

Venus starts the month in your second house of money, possessions and self-worth. Pleasure in simple comforts grows, and spending on beauty or a gift tempts you more than usual. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio, your second house of money, possessions and self-worth, until Nov 14. Time to look again at a purchase, a contract or the way you price your time before you commit further. On Oct 25 it slips back into your first house of self, image and fresh starts while retrograde. Time to revisit how you come across and whether the version of you that others see still fits.

Work and drive

Mars spends the month in your eleventh house of friends, groups and future plans. You work hard for a cause or a group; watch for friction over who leads.

Mind and messages

Mercury spends the month in your second house of money, possessions and self-worth. Conversations turn to money and value; a good time to ask for the rate, the refund or the raise. Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio, your second house of money, possessions and self-worth, until Nov 13. Time to look again at a purchase, a contract or the way you price your time before you commit further.
