Card of the Day

The Empress

creation and abundance, nurture, the sensual making of things

Listen to Virgo, your month

October 2026

This month the Sun travels through Libra, your second house, so money, what you own, values, self worth, the resources you steward is lit for the whole month. The month's biggest move is pluto turns direct on October 16. The day's weather settles into your house of resources, what you own and what you believe you are worth. Money and possessions are only the surface here. Underneath sits the quieter question of what you treat as valuable, and today you get to feel whether your spending of time and care matches what you say you prize.

The month, date by date

Venus turns retrograde

October 3

Tender Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio, back through your third house of mind and messages, a stretch to review and revisit the thinking mind rather than force it.

New Moon in Libra

October 10

A New Moon rises in Libra, seeding your second house of money and values, the place to begin something fresh in money.

Pluto turns direct

October 16

Transforming Pluto turns direct in Aquarius, freeing your sixth house of work and health, daily work begins to move forward again. The day's weather enters your sixth house of daily work, health, and the small repeated acts that keep a life running. This is humble ground and powerful for it. Today the body and the routine are speaking, and the practice is to listen to the maintenance rather than only the milestones.

Sun enters Scorpio

October 23

Radiant Sun moves into Scorpio, lighting your third house of conversation and the local round, a season to lean into the thinking mind.

Mercury turns retrograde

October 24

Quick-witted Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio, back through your third house of mind and messages, a stretch to review and revisit the thinking mind rather than force it.

Venus enters Libra

October 25

Harmonizing Venus moves into Libra, lighting your second house of income and self-worth, a season to lean into money.

Full Moon in Taurus

October 26

A Full Moon peaks in Taurus, illuminating your ninth house of meaning and travel, where something in meaning comes to a head and is finally seen. Your ninth house opens, the wide horizon of meaning, belief, study, and the far journey. The day lifts your eyes off the immediate and toward the larger why. Follow the question that makes you feel both small and expanded, because that is the one your life is actually organized around.

Where it lands: love, work, the body

New Moon in Libra on October 10 stirs this area; Pluto turns direct on October 16 stirs this area; Venus enters Libra on October 25 stirs this area. Watch career & money most closely around those dates.
