CANCER | OCTOBER HOROSCOPE

We begin the month with a Full Moon in Aries, indicating a culmination of themes regarding career, legacy and public image. This lunation is very intense, so try to lay low and take it easy!

Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters the earth sign of Virgo on October 2nd, activating your 3rd house of community and daily activities, bringing forth the invitation to find pleasure and beauty in the little things we do everyday, finding love and gratitude in little actions and gestures either in routines or with your community around you. On October 13th, the planet of communication and intellect, Mercury, stations retrograde in your 5th house of fun, creativity and self-expression, inviting you to revise the way you communicate your pleasures, thoughts and romantic emotions to people you care about. It might also indicate miscommunications, troubles or delays on things surrounding these themes. On the 16th, we have a busy New Moon in Libra, hitting your 4th House of home and family. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself retreating or spending this day in isolation at home, and think of what type of environment you want to bring forth or retain when it comes to your environment. On October 22nd, the Sun enters Scorpio, shining a light on your 5th house of pleasures and fun, also joining Mercury RX there. You’ll feel more keen to express your passion and loving emotions to people around you while also emphasizing themes of revision around these as well. On the 27th, Mercury slides back into Libra, inviting you to revise themes around your home life and environment but also indicating that delays and miscommunications might be likely to pop up around people you live with or close family relationships. Shortly after, Venus enters its home sign of Libra and your 4th house as well, diminishing the negative effects that Mercury RX could bring forth. A good time to treat yourself at home, beautify your living space or simply treat yourself to nice pleasures such as watching your favorite movie, caring for your body and your emotional self and how you can make yourself feel the most comfortable at home. To end the month, we have a Full Moon in Taurus on October 31st (Halloween, baby!) which activates your 11th house of friends, networking and acquaintances. Feelings having to do with your group of friends or the way in which you value them can come up at this time. Full Moons are times for release, so if there’s anything bottled up inside you, this is the time to let go! Be weary of feelings of possessiveness or jealousy coming up at this time. Thoughts and feelings of revision around the way you put yourself out there might be present as well.
