Sagittarius · October 2026
October 2026 for Sagittarius: the planets moving through your chart this month, read from your Sun sign. Read your Rising sign too if you know it — it often fits even better.
Until 23 October
Your month's theme: the 11th house of friends & hopes
Your people matter more than ever this month. The Sun moves through your 11th house of friends, groups and hopes, and the mood is social, generous and pointed firmly towards the future.
Say yes to gatherings, circles, communities and causes that reflect who you really are. A friend may bring an opportunity, a fresh idea or simply the encouragement you have been missing. It is also a beautiful month to dream on a bigger scale. What do you wish for, not only for yourself but for the world around you? Write your wishes down and share at least one of them aloud with someone you trust. Notice who lifts you up. Those are the friendships to water.
From 23 October: the Sun moves into Scorpio, your 12th house
The Sun slips behind the veil this month, into your 12th house of rest, solitude, dreams and endings. It is the final chapter before your birthday season, and your energy may feel softer and quieter than usual.
Don't fight it. This is a sacred time to rest, reflect and close old cycles with grace. Sleep more if you can. Keep a dream diary, because your dreams are full of messages now. Spend time alone near water, meditate, pray or simply sit in silence. Let go of grudges, habits and stories that belong to the year behind you. Run a bath with salt and lavender. What you release now makes room for the bright beginning already on its way.
10 October
New Moon in Libra
The New Moon in your 11th house is perfect for wishes about friendship, community and the future. Who do you want around you, and what do you hope for? Write three wishes and place them under a clear quartz crystal. Reach out to one friend or join one group this week. Your dreams grow faster when you share the dreaming with others.
26 October
Full Moon in Taurus
This Full Moon shines into your 6th house of daily work and wellbeing habits. A work project may reach completion, or you notice which routines exhaust you. Release habits that drain your energy, and any guilt about resting. Write them on paper, soak it in water with a pinch of salt and pour it down the drain. Tomorrow, begin again with kindness towards yourself.
Mind & messages: Mercury in Scorpio, your 12th house
Mercury slips into your 12th house, and your mind turns inward. Answers come more through dreams, intuition and quiet moments than through busy conversation. Journal, meditate, read something spiritual and keep a notebook beside your bed for the thoughts that arrive at night. It is a good time to finish old paperwork and to think before speaking. Not everything needs sharing yet. Silence lets the deeper answers rise.
Love & pleasure: Venus in Scorpio (retrograde), your 12th house
Venus in your 12th house makes love quiet and private. You may enjoy secret moments, a hidden crush or simply time alone with your own heart. Old feelings could resurface, asking to be forgiven and gently released. Treat yourself to rest and soft beauty: a candlelit bath, slow music, an early night with clean sheets. Compassion is your superpower now. Love yourself in private first, and the rest follows.
With Venus retrograde in your 12th house, hidden feelings and past loves may resurface in dreams or quiet moments. This is a time for private healing, forgiveness and self-compassion. Avoid secret affairs of the heart. Rest and pamper yourself gently. Love yourself through what you are releasing.
Drive & desire: Mars in Leo, your 9th house
With Mars in your 9th house, you are driven by a thirst for adventure and meaning. Travel, study and exploring new beliefs give you energy instead of draining it. You may feel ready to defend what you believe in, but avoid preaching to people who didn't ask. Sign up for that course, book the trip, take the leap of faith. Your courage widens your world. Let curiosity lead your fire.
The bigger picture: Jupiter in Leo, your 9th house
Jupiter is happiest in your 9th house, opening a year of adventure, study and spiritual expansion. Travel, higher learning, publishing and teaching are all favoured. Your beliefs grow broader and your trust in life strengthens. Say yes to opportunities that take you far from home, whether physically or in your mind. Find a teacher, or become one yourself. For this whole year, the world is your classroom.
The bigger picture: Saturn in Aries, your 5th house
Saturn in your 5th house asks you to take joy, creativity and romance seriously. Creative projects need dedication and discipline to flourish, and love may test your commitment, whether you are seeking it or keeping it. Fun can feel scarce at first, but this chapter teaches you to build pleasure that lasts. Practise your craft every day. Choose love that is real. What you create during these years can endure.
