CANCER HOROSCOPE for OCTOBER 2026

CANCER/CANCER ASCENDANT

We get that the monthly lunations affect Cancer most of all, being a Moon child & all. So I love for you that the New Moon of Oct 11^th, in your 4^th house squares Ceres in your sign.

The 4^th being your natural habitat, where you cultivate a nurturing home base and loving connection with your tribe-family dynamics and the people you live with/share your private life with. And Ceres is all about healthy self care, to nourish your own physical & emotional wellbeing. So lovely to slow down and really embody wellbeing in your own skin, and quality time with the loved ones you care about.

Then the Full Moon of Oct 26^th, in your social sector. Permission to express yourself with emotional congruence, amongst the friends and crew who truly get what you’re on about. Feels so good to feel so accepted, just for being true to yourself. If you choose the right kind of people to hang out with wisely, of course.

Meanwhile Venus and Mercury retrograde, in your 5^th house this month. The 5^th is all about playful fun and easy creative self expression, to embrace childlike joy. So the retro energy is fab permission, to slow down and relish the simple, life affirming pleasures that feel good.

I mean this also brings your natural talent, with so much inspiration to be productive about it. And the luxury of taking plenty of time to play with the creative process-maybe making a few mistakes along the way to finesse your approach, is a pleasure? To prepare you to be so much more onto it, when Venus swans, direct, back into your 5^th by mid December.

And Mars joining Jupiter, in your 2^nd house as Oct begins. Totally energising to get your act together, in terms of believing in your own, personal values and energised to create autonomous financial prosperity, accordingly. Yes but also Mars opposite Pluto in your 8^th, as October begins-hooks into the collective astro this month:

So after a truly tempestuous period of change in recent months, October is a welcome respite, of relatively calm astro weather. With so many planets retrograde, we get to take stock, integrate lessons learned and take the time, to orient ourselves towards the new chapter of promising new possibilities-we are preparing to explore in coming years.

What with Pluto, Neptune/Saturn and Uranus now settled in harmonious aspect with one another. We are all coming to terms with an easier flow, to carry us forward. Bless, I love this for us!

For Cancer, Pluto & Destiny Point in your 8^th house-activating Mars in your 2^nd early Oct. Sexy, primal Pluto is supremely comfortable in your 8^th, where sexy passion, vulnerable intimacy, power trips with others and self mastery of your own, limbic fears are revealed. Is ok to take your time to integrate all the intense feelings rising up, in order to re-evaluate the rules of engagement, and belief in your own regenerative, internal locus of power-moving forward.

Neptune & Saturn, with Chiron in your brilliant career sector. Such a wildly inspiring sense of professional purpose, because so ready for a genuinely fulfilling gig. And is ok to get it might take a bit of time, with slow burn discipline to achieve these goals-the better for a real sense of accomplishment long term, right?

Uranus in your 12^th, soul sector. You may be experiencing some incandescent moments of clarity, to do with your spiritual practice, self awareness & tuning into your creative muse. Also your nervous system could be a bit frazzled, if you try to act on all of this, all at once. A bit of permission to remain calm & cultivate inner peace, goes a long way here x
