Your horoscopes for the week 26 October to 1 November, 2026
Aries – March 21 to April 20
Finances, joint ventures, secret deals and trust issues are on the table! Monday’s Full Moon highlights hiccups involving self-esteem and/or financial management. Strive to be less impulsive and extravagant, and more cautious with cash and credit. Then Mars squares retrograde Mercury (on Friday/Saturday) so don’t spoil a potentially positive week by being reckless and making inappropriate comments. Slow down and consult with others along the way.
Taurus – April 21 to May 21
Monday’s earthy Full Moon (in your sign) emphasises your practical side, so do your best to handle current situations in a suitably sensible and pragmatic fashion. When it comes to a romance, work partnership or joint venture, avoid getting stuck in a rut. The planets push you to find creative ways to express yourself personally and within relationships. But is someone trying to manipulate or confuse you? Keep your Bulldust Detector switched onto high.
Gemini – May 22 to June 21
With the help of Monday’s Full Moon, use the power of your imagination and intuition to get to the bottom of a problem that’s been bothering you. If you listen to the wisdom of your inner voice (and pay attention to the symbolism in your dreams) then it will point you in the right direction. But remember Mercury (your ruling planet) is retrograde until November 14. So take extra care communicating and don’t get carried away and promise more than you can deliver.
Cancer – June 22 to July 23
The silvery, ever-changeable Moon is your power planet, and many sensitive Crabs feel emotionally volatile and vulnerable when the Moon is full. This week’s Full Moon is in earthy, stable Taurus, so you’ll feel more grounded (and less moody) than usual. But remember Mercury and Venus are both retrograde, so be extra careful and consistent in the way you communicate with other people – especially children, teenagers, family members and close friends.
Leo – July 24 to August 23
Get cracking Cats! The Full Moon and Mercury activate your career and domestic zones, so relationships with work colleagues and family members are highlighted. But Mercury is retrograde (and Pluto squares the Sun) so avoid being bossy and controlling. Catching up with delayed chores and overdue DIY projects in your Lion’s den is favoured, as you clean, tidy, renovate or re-decorate. However, hasty words could land you in hot water on Friday and Saturday.
Virgo – August 24 to September 23
Very fussy Virgo – when it comes to a romantic relationship, do you have ridiculously high expectations? Have you placed your partner (or imagined partner) on a towering pedestal? With love planet Venus and Mercury (your ruler) both currently retrograde, stop expecting the perfect soul mate. Instead, be prepared to love a real flesh and bones person … faults and all. Happily solo? Prepare for a new education experience or a special travel adventure.
Libra – September 24 to October 23
It’s time to replace confrontation with cooperation! Venus (your ruling planet) is in retrograde mode until November 14. So, the more you focus on the needs of loved ones, the happier everyone will be. And the more proactive you are about finding win-win solutions to partnership problems (whether romantic or platonic) the more harmonious life will be. When it comes to communication, think things through before you speak, text and post.
Scorpio – October 24 to November 22
Many Scorpions love the spectacle of Halloween celebrations, as Scorpio (ruled by Pluto – God of the Underworld) is the sign that rules the dark, mysterious parts of life. This week’s stars will help you get into a super intense and imaginative mood. So, finding a suitably dramatic, gothic costume (for you and/or your kids) is essential. Your motto comes from birthday great, poet Sylvia Plath “Love life day by day, colour by colour, touch by touch.”
Sagittarius – November 23 to December 21
The Full Moon (and retrograde Mercury) increase your enthusiasm for assisting those who are sick or in need. You’ll find the more you lend a hand to others, the better you’ll feel and the more friends you’ll make. With Venus reversing through your peer group zone, you could revisit an old friendship from the past. Your motto is from writer Robert Louis Stevenson (who had Sun in Scorpio and Venus in Sagittarius) “A friend is a gift you give yourself.’
Capricorn – December 22 to January 20
The Sun, Full Moon and retrograde Mercury activate your peer group zones, which could lead to hasty words and impulsive actions. And some cash-strapped Capricorns could also face complicated issues involving finances and friends. So slow down and think (carefully) before you speak and act, especially involving children, teenagers, friends and acquaintances. When it comes to work, you’re keen to revisit a project that has been on the backburner.
Aquarius – January 21 to February 19
Retrograde Mercury and the Sun are in your career zone, while the Full Moon lights up your family zone. So try to get the balance right between professional progress and domestic peace. And – if you must choose – then lean slightly towards harmony at home, with housemates and family members. Monday is the best day to start a big DIY project. Your motto is from actress Julia Roberts (who turns 59 on Wednesday) “My life at home gives me absolute joy.”
Pisces – February 20 to March 20
The Sun is transiting through your travel and education zone so you’re keen to book an adventurous holiday or plan a new course of study. But hidden tensions could bubble to the surface with a family member, neighbour or work colleague. Social media is also a potential minefield, as the Full Moon and retrograde Mercury stir up your communication zones. So be extra careful you don’t send the wrong message to the wrong person at the wrong time!
