Cancer

In October, Cancer's attention turns homeward, as the Libra season highlights family and roots. The Sun's opposition to Saturn in Aries on October 4 may create tension between career responsibilities and private life; it can help to decide which demands truly belong to you. The New Moon in Libra on October 10 is a fitting moment for a new beginning at home, whether that means a move, a refresh of your space or a clearer family arrangement. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio early in the month, so a romance, a creative work or a past love may return for a second look. Mars in Leo trines Saturn in mid-month, which can help you give practical shape to ideas about income and material resources. Pluto ends its retrograde the same day in your sector of shared resources and transformation, perhaps reviving a deeper process that had paused. When the Sun meets Venus in Scorpio on October 24, love and creativity grow more intense, and Mercury's retrograde starting then advises patience with messages between you and someone dear. The Full Moon in Taurus on October 26 lights up your social circle, where friends, groups and shared goals may reach a turning point.
