October Astrology Forecast 2026
Listen to this episode:
A detailed look at the astrology forecast for October 2026, with astrologer Chris Brennan.
This month is dominated by a tumultuous Venus retrograde in Scorpio, kicking off alongside intense hard aspects to Mars and Pluto, which will dredge up some challenging things from the past.
Tensions are further heightened as Mercury slows down and stations retrograde in Scorpio later in the month, bringing communication breakdowns and the need for significant retooling.
I explore the historical precedents for these transits and break down how to navigate this tough astrological weather before the planets finally station direct and offer resolution in mid-November.
