October 2026

Aries (March 20 – April 20)

Don’t let little disagreements turn into overblown storms. Learn to keep cool and take time for some solitary meditation to calm the nerves. Turn your focus from individual needs to that of the group, because they do say there is no I in team. Be sure to discuss matters with everyone around you. You don’t want them to feel left out, especially when they could be the ones lending you a helping hand one of these days. Keep your emotions in check, but don’t throw radical ideas out the window, because thinking outside of the box will be your strength.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Carpe Diem. This year is yours for the taking.

Taurus (April 20 – May 21)

Some things are done out of routine, and sure, that routine might be a bit boring, but it is that routine that makes things happen. Like a musician who practices their scales will end up being able to solo with ease. Pay attention to the little things, and the big things will fall into place. This month will be one where you will be getting a tonne of advice. Whether or not you take it is up to you, but be sure that if you do take it, it is both accurate and the right step for you. This will affect things moving forward, and you don’t want to take one step forward and two back.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Embrace new ways and let go of non-beneficial nonsense.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Erratic feelings will be the guiding light that will lead to excursions that take a radical turn. Stop to smell the roses on your way. Don’t be tied down by routines and beliefs. Learn to open up to the concept of exploring all that there is to see. Don’t be afraid to express yourself in ways that advance your well-being as well as your understanding of your surroundings. Friends start making sense, and why you do what you do becomes apparent. If you just react blindly and overreact emotionally, then it will be a squandered opportunity for future advancement.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Difficulties are only the way you perceive them. Act on the situation.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Many times, we are tempted by our heart’s desire. Whether it is more of or something nicer, we want it, and we’ll act on the desire to obtain it. Like a dog chasing its tail, what happens when it finally gets it and bites down on it? This is not to say do not go after what you desire, but rather take the time to determine whether it will truly bring happiness. Just because you have money to blow, do you really need to go spend it when it would be better invested? The same goes for relationships; why waste time on those who don’t have your back? Spend it with loved ones.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Figure out who you are and embrace that new self.

Leo (July 22 – August 23)

Ready to go on an assault? Make sure the battle is worth fighting because once the genie is out of the bottle, you can’t get it back in, so make those wishes worth your while. Put more of that energy and focus on figuring out what you need in your home or your inner self. Work out the issues that seem to hamper your relations. It isn’t always the other person. Expect friends to pop in unexpectedly, which could lead to some exciting adventures, whether it is out on the town or on a game board. Also, don’t be too hard on yourself. Disciplined, yes, but harsh? No.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Learn how to battle through relationships. Everyone is a winner.

Virgo (August 23 – September 23)

As you like the attention to detail, it will seem likely that you will start taking a deeper dive into things you look at. Whether you are looking at food ingredients or your energy consumption, you will be trying to find out what is involved in the minutiae. What is at stake is what you value in life. The key is not to get too angry about it, but you can organize to go after the institutions or, on a personal level, it is to look at what is affecting your behaviour around the matters at hand. Look to make changes and focus on how you can be a more responsible citizen.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Struggles are part of life. Work through them.

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Balancing is what Libras are all about, and this month it is about your pocketbook. You have to do things that are right for you, and sure, you would like random vacations around the world, but it is imperative that you stick to your financial game plan. Having fun today may gamble away all the hard work put into getting to the place you are in. Don’t make it an obsession to have frivolity at all costs. Having fun is important, but doing it wisely is the way to go. Look to expand your network, so you can gain information and knowledge to broaden your perspective.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Learn to accept yourself for who you are, not by others’ expectations.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)

While you cannot get others to take care of themselves, you can care for yourself. Aim to lead a balanced lifestyle that involves serious work and a lot of fun. There is plenty to do, and people will see you as the wise warrior and want you on their side. Choose your battles wisely, and this month will fly by. That being said, don’t try to be everything to everyone, as you will tire yourself out. Take time to recuperate your strength; otherwise, you will overexert yourself. Let your social graces do the talking, and everyone will think you are a class act.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Old dogs can be taught new tricks. Treats are good.

Did you know:

Virgo is about finding the joy in the details?

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

There will be a period of disconnection where finding your purpose becomes the primary goal. It’s not that you lack worth or importance to others, but simply that you can’t quite see where the path is leading. Maybe your views are changing on how you interact with others and how you want to be treated. People evolve, and so do you. When that happens, it’s time to realign with a new vision of the future. Sometimes you just need to start walking. When you inevitably hit a fork in the road, you’ll just have to trust your gut on which way to go.

THEME OF THE YEAR: You need to decide whether it is war or diplomacy; choose wisely.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 20)

You are very used to your routines and order in life. However, expect your routine to be shaken up this month. Things don’t always go according to plan, but you will be expected to adapt to how situations arise. Stopping and turning on a dime is what is required. You like adhering to the mould, but if it’s broken, make something new with what you are dealt. You may think someone is undermining you, but it’s more like you are being pushed in a new direction, because sometimes you can get fixated on “the proper way” to do things. Outside the box is your new slogan.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Achieving goals is more easily accomplished with some partnership.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Sometimes, one just has to put their foot down and not be walked over. If that has to do with personal preferences or just making up one’s mind based on their ideology, so be it. Try not to make this month a battle when it can just be a game. Even though it may be a game, you are actually digging deeper into the meaning of what your purpose is. Learning from others, compiling that information and blending it into a new outlook will help you immensely. You can dream big, but reality governs the world, so adjust things accordingly. 

THEME OF THE YEAR: Not everything is seen, and some patience and discretion are necessary.

Pisces (February 18 – March 20)

People sometimes define themselves by their association with a company, a school or a religious institution rather than who they are. When you put too much emphasis on outside influences, it can feel like you are caged when you really would prefer to be free. Freedom involves being able to change. It can be as simple as cheering for a different basketball team. Life at home isn’t always going to be rosy, so embracing the ebbs and flows is what you do best, but again, realize you can change your current. Go with your own flow that suits you best for this period.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Getting what you want and what you need can be the same.
