It’s October, Cancer. Three planets end their retrograde this month, there’s a dramatic eclipse, and then of course, Halloween. During September, a full moon in intuitive Pisces heightened your psychic skills, and even brought messages in dreams. Last month, Mercury went retrograde, bringing the usual travel delays, distracting texts from exes, or communication mishaps. Thankfully, the planet goes direct starting on Sunday, October 2, opening clear channels of communication for the spooky month ahead. 

During April, Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, began its retrograde. For you, Cancer, this focused on your love life. Whether you left a toxic relationship, leveled up a healthy one, or decided to start dating again, you followed your heart. When Pluto goes direct in straightforward Capricorn on Saturday, October 8, take a moment to appreciate these changes, and check in with yourself to make sure that your romantic needs are properly tended to.

You function best when your personal life is in order, Cancer. Family, which includes your chosen family and partners, is very important to you. Having a stable home life helps you shine in other areas of life. There’s a full moon in Aries on Sunday, October 9, that illuminates your professional life. Don’t trust any astrologer who promises money in this economy, sadly, horoscopes can’t fight late-stage capitalism and the fallout of a pandemic. With that necessary caveat, know that this full moon, which signifies completion and manifestation, has the potential to bring beneficial news regarding your career and public image.

Saturn, the taskmaker of the zodiac, has been retrograde since June. Much like Pluto’s retrograde, your assignment during this time was to say bye-bye to any fairweather friends or those who hold you back. The stars want you to shine, Cancer, and surround yourself with people who boost you up. So when Saturn goes direct on Saturday, October 22, take another moment to pause and reflect on your social situation. If there are dear friends who always have your back and you trust with your life, make sure to vocalize your love and appreciation for them. 

The infamous Scorpio season begins on Sunday, October 23. Scorpio is a sign associated with sex and is a fellow water sign that’s deeply emotional like you, Cancer. This time of year also lights up your 5th House of Pleasure, so while Scorpio season may be sexy for everyone, it’s extra sexy for you. If you’re partnered, expect to get both kinky and emotionally intimate, and if you’re dating, watch as crushes turn into something with potential. And, if you’re single, Scorpio season is an excellent time to check in with your fantasies and desires. If you’re not receiving enough pleasure, use your brilliant brain to identify what you need and how to get it.

When Venus, which rules beauty and glamour in addition to love, enters Scorpio on Sunday, October 23, you also find yourself eager to experiment with Halloween makeup looks and finalize costume plans. 

But before you go out to Halloween parties, stay in during the new moon and solar eclipse in Scorpio on Tuesday, October 25. Eclipses can stir up drama and lead to unexpected endings for all signs, but because you’re ruled by the moon, these cosmic occurrences can affect you more than others. So lean into your inner homebody to avoid bickering and catch up on rest.

When Mars, the warrior planet that rules f*cking and fighting, goes retrograde in Gemini on Sunday, October 30, you may feel a bit lazy and unmotivated. If your body needs rest, listen to it, but if you are ready to celebrate Halloween and want to fight Mars retrograde, put on a costume and some makeup to help motivate yourself to get spooky. Glamour is powerful. See you next month.
