October finds Leo two months after the eclipse. Mars and Jupiter still sit in Leo lighting up your 1st house, while Venus retrogrades through your 4th house of home and your 3rd of voice. The new identity is finding its address.

October is a review month for you. It opens with a hard weekend where a partner pushes and the home question comes up at the same time. The 10th hands you a clean fresh start for your voice, and from the 23rd the month turns inward toward home and family. The Full Moon on the 26th brings your public career payoff, so show up for that one.
Leo October 2026 dates: Mars and Jupiter both in Leo (1st) all month. Mars opposes Pluto Oct 3 from 3 Leo to 3 Aquarius (1st to 7th). Venus stations retrograde Oct 3 at 8 Scorpio (4th) and steps back into Libra (3rd) Oct 25. New Moon at 17 Libra (3rd) Oct 10. Sun enters Scorpio (4th) Oct 23 and Venus cazimi Oct 23 resets the home story. Mercury retrogrades from 20 Scorpio (4th) Oct 24. Full Moon at 2 Taurus (10th) Oct 26. Saturn Rx and Neptune Rx in Aries (9th) all month.
October 3 hits twice. Mars in your sign pulls directly against Pluto in your partnership corner, so a spouse, co-founder, or close rival may push for more control than you want to give. Stay direct without burning the bridge. The same day Venus starts moving backward through your home corner, opening a six-week review of where you live and how the family weighs in. On the 4th a short conversation runs into a long-held belief about travel or study. Take the note and keep the weekend light.
The New Moon on the 10th lands in your voice corner. This is your fresh start for what you say out loud, whether that is the writing project, the podcast idea, or the sibling conversation that has been waiting. With Mars and Jupiter both in your sign, your words carry extra size right now, so pick one thing to say and say it well. The same day can pop a flare between what you want to voice and what the home situation can hold. Say it carefully, not loudly.
The 15th is your best working day. A soft supportive link between the Sun and Jupiter favors the pitch, the recording, anything public with your own face and name. Late that night Pluto turns forward, and a slow partnership story may finally start moving. On the 23rd the Sun meets Venus at the middle of the retrograde in your home corner. Its central insight lands on family and where you want to live, so eat with people that night. From the 24th Mercury moves backward there too. Reread the lease and back up the laptop.
The Full Moon on the 26th lights your career corner, and two months past your eclipse it may bring the visible update the new chapter has been building. A promotion offer, a recognition moment, a contract announcement. Show up for it, then come down off the high carefully. Close the month in review mode, revisiting the home question rather than forcing an answer. What you repair now holds.

Venus stations retrograde on October 3 at 8 Scorpio in your 4th house of home, family, real estate, and the private base, then steps back into Libra in your 3rd house of voice, conversation, siblings, and short trips on October 25. For six weeks the home situation, the family conversation, and what you say out loud are all in slow review. Two months after your eclipse, this is part of building the new chapter; it is not a setback.
Mars and Jupiter are both in your 1st house of body, identity, and how you show up. Mars adds physical drive, energy, and a willingness to push for what you want; Jupiter adds size, opportunity, and an expansive sense of possibility. Together they make October one of the more visible, action-ready months of your year. The Mars opposition Pluto on October 3 can spike anger or power; channel it into the workout, the run, the direct conversation, not the screaming match.
The New Moon at 17 Libra lands in your 3rd house of voice, opinion, conversation, siblings, and daily writing. This is a fresh start for what you say out loud, the writing project you have been building, or a sibling conversation that has been waiting. With Venus already retrograde nearby, the new beginning often involves returning to a topic you used to write or speak about rather than launching a brand new one.
The Sun and Venus meet at 0 degrees 45 Scorpio in your 4th house on October 23, which is one of the brightest home-and-family reset points of your year. A family conversation, a real-estate decision, or a long-running question about where you actually want to live can shift from confusion to clarity within hours. Have the family dinner that night; do not eat alone.
The Full Moon at 2 Taurus lands in your 10th house of career, public reputation, and the boss. Two months after your eclipse reset, the Full Moon may bring a clear public update: a promotion offer, a media moment, a contract announcement, or simply a piece of recognition. Show up. The 10th house Full Moon is a brief but bright spotlight.
