General for Week Commencing: Monday 12 October 2026
Aries    Aries Monday 12 October 2026  Mar 21 - Apr 19
The week begins with the Moon having just left your relationship sector, bringing the weekend’s New Moon to a close. This begins what will be a continuing theme, with the Moon constantly moving but throughout the week, giving you the right insight at the right time. While the Sun won’t leave your relationship sector until next Friday, this allows you to move forward emotionally engaged and aware and thanks to a friendly aspect to Uranus over the weekend, the communication lines open. On Monday, this will see the Moon join up with Venus and Mercury in your financial sector, sharpening your financial instincts and giving you a read on the planets that between them, are going to bring this financial year home. When the Moon leaves there on Friday it won’t just return to an adventurous part of your chart but will form a friendly aspect to Mars and Jupiter in a playful and creative part as it moves through. Before joining the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your career sector over the weekend, this is going to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.
 
Taurus    Taurus Monday 12 October 2026  Apr 20 - May 20
While the Moon has just left your work sector by the time you move into the new week, it is with your instincts sharp, the tailwind from the weekend’s New Moon at your back and with a download of information and insight to unpack from across the income, work and career fronts. Apart from an alignment with the Sun, who will stay in your work sector until next Friday and a friendly aspect to Uranus, who will remain in retrograde motion in your income sector for the rest of the year, it was another to Pluto that came with perfect timing. Having begun last week at odds, this not only put the Moon and Pluto back in harmony, but with his direct turn on Friday taking the remaining brakes off this professional year, a chance to put last week’s work/life balance in a different light. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return to your relationship sector from Monday to Wednesday will not only see it team up with Venus and Mercury, the planets of love and communication here, but with the dwarf planet Ceres in your communication sector.
 
Gemini    Gemini Monday 12 October 2026  May 21 - Jun 21
While the Moon will leave a playful and creative part of your chart and return to your work sector on Monday, something that is going to get the new working week off to a positive start on the income and job fronts, there is no danger of the scales tipping too far the other way. Even if either side wanted to, which they don’t, there is no way that this was going to see life become all work and no play. As well as leaving the Sun behind and the tailwind from the weekend’s New Moon, just as Pluto is preparing to turn direct in an adventurous part of your chart on Friday. The playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence won’t be dialling back anytime soon and instead the opposite. At the same time, with Venus already in retrograde motion in your work sector, the Sun not returning until next Friday and Mercury already slowing ahead of retrograde turn a day later, on both the income and job fronts you have nothing but time. The dwarf planet Ceres, who is slowing ahead of a retrograde turn in your income sector next month, is part of the same team.
 
Cancer    Cancer Monday 12 October 2026  Jun 22 - Jul 22
This is one time when the Moon’s return to a playful and creative part of your chart on Monday not only won’t get in the way of the new working week but is something that it will benefit from. On the other side of the weekend’s New Moon and the importance this put on having the right work/life balance, this is not only an early chance to put this to the test, but it is not until Wednesday that the working week is going to come alive. Making this easier to embrace is that the Moon will be joining Venus and Mercury, planets who have returned to, but are refusing to leave a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart. Venus, the planet of love should have been long gone, but a retrograde turn nine days earlier will see the Moon return to find her opening the doors to the past and second chances. At the same time, just as he should be getting ready to leave, Mercury is instead slowing down in order to turn retrograde next week as well. This will be easy to hold onto, even when from Wednesday to Friday, the Moon will team up with planets to create some of the most exciting days of the month on the income, work and career fronts.
 
Leo    Leo Monday 12 October 2026  Jul 23 - Aug 22
By the time you move into the new week, the Moon will have just left your communication sector, wrapping up a New Moon that hasn’t just given the communication lines a boost, but right across the communication, social and relationship fronts. That is also likely to have restored your confidence and helped to make sense of some tensions last week. Last week began with Mars, in his early days in Leo still separating from a clash with Pluto in your relationship sector, just as the Moon returned to do the same. This was a double whammy, with both putting a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the test. This won’t be repeated and while with Pluto turning direct on Friday this brought some timely wakeup calls, it was the Moon’s friendly aspect as it moved through your communication sector over the weekend that has helped to get the communication lines open. This includes while Pluto is still in retrograde motion, making it easier to give the past and unsaid words a voice, while when he turns direct, the ease at which you will find it to let the past go.
 
Virgo    Virgo Monday 12 October 2026  Aug 23 - Sep 22
The early part of the week is all about the Moon’s departure from your income sector and return to your communication sector, where it will have a significant impact. Apart from leaving you with a sharp nose for money, the weekend’s New Moon has given income potential the green light in a way that will continue to take on a life of its own. With Pluto turning direct in your work sector, with everything needed to go into these final days in retrograde motion and prepare for when work and job matters also get the green light, with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. Meanwhile, when the Moon returns to your communication sector on Monday, it will be to join Venus and Mercury, the planets of love and communication, who are already working to get the communication lines open on multiple fronts. This includes in retrograde motion, Venus working to give your heart, relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice, while Mercury has a broader approach.
 
Libra    Libra Monday 12 October 2026  Sep 23 - Oct 23
When the Moon leaves Libra on Monday, this won’t just bring the weekend’s New Moon to a close but will bring you to an important point in your birthday month itself. Apart from your birthday itself, it is when the Sun and Moon align to begin a new lunar cycle, with anything launched on a New Moon able to ride the wave of forward momentum and the time for new growth that this signals, this is the most important point in your birthday month. This brings with it a chance to embrace your new solar year and the journey ahead. Yet Venus and Mercury have already moved through and the Sun will leave next Friday there is no urgency or call to start finalising your intentions and resolutions for the coming year. Instead, with Venus already in retrograde motion and on her way back for a do over at the end of next week, the more you can keep your mind and your options open the better. Meanwhile, it is on Monday that the Moon will join Venus and Mercury in your income sector, where they already have the most lucrative months of 2026 underway.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio Monday 12 October 2026  Oct 24 - Nov 21
At this time of year, with the month long wind down of your old solar year still underway, but as it is not uncommon to find either Venus or Mercury in Scorpio, it is not uncommon to have the lines between the past, present and future blurred at this time of year. However, even more so this year and that is even before the Moon leaves a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and returns to Scorpio on Monday. For while the Sun will stay on and won’t return to Scorpio until next Friday, the Moon will not only return to find Mercury and Venus already here, but Venus in retrograde motion and on her way back to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart. Venus will spend the rest of the year going back and forth between the two, creating a revolving door to the other past. However, not at the expense of opening new doors, for while Mercury will also turn retrograde next Saturday, by then the Sun will be in Scorpio and your birthday month and new solar year will be underway.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius Monday 12 October 2026  Nov 22 - Dec 21
While it is not until Wednesday that the Moon will return for its monthly visit to Sagittarius, as this is likely to be an empowering experience, this is something that is worth holding out for. After wrapping up the weekend’s New Moon and the energy this has pumped into the communication, social and relationship fronts, its return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart from Monday to Wednesday will allow you to claim back some personal space or just find more time to hear yourself think. This will be the Moon’s first visit since Venus turned retrograde here, adding to a sense of nostalgia as she not only takes your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but when every planet on the romantic and relationship fronts is in retrograde motion. Meanwhile, while the Moon’s return to Sagittarius on Wednesday will be a chance to check in and get your bearings, it will find itself at a friendly aspect to Mars and Saturn, just as they have come together to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn Monday 12 October 2026  Dec 22 - Jan 19
While the Moon’s departure from your career sector on Monday will bring the weekend’s New Moon to a close, with a chance to not only move into the new working week with your professional instincts sharp and things powered up across the income, work and career fronts, but with things continuing to evolve and take on a life of their own. With Pluto turning direct in your income sector on Friday and giving income potential the green light as well, the timing couldn’t be better. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return to your friendship sector on Sunday will not only see it team up with Venus and Mercury here, but when they have already teamed up with the dwarf planet Ceres in your relationship sector. The Moon will connect with all three as it moves through, getting the week off to a positive start when it comes to friendship and relationship building. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return to Capricorn on Saturday will be in time to move into the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment’s final seven days here and of her mission to update your intentions and resolutions with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius Monday 12 October 2026  Jan 20 - Feb 18
While the Moon will leave your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and return to your career sector on Monday, this won’t see the scales shift all the way to the other side of the financial fence. As the Moon wraps up the weekend’s New Moon, this is going to leave behind planets that will continue to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, while it will return to find there are planets that are already powering things up on the job and career fronts. Both sides of life’s fence have been powering up for some time and they will remain powered up. While this isn’t something that the stars will be policing, this is a timely reminder of the importance of knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. Especially if you want to embrace all that the stars have on offer. It helps that with planets in retrograde motion on both sides of life’s fence, there is no urgency.
 
Pisces    Pisces Monday 12 October 2026  Feb 19 - Mar 20
While the Moon’s return to an adventurous part of your chart on Monday will see these adventurous lunar vibes having to compete with the early part of the new working week, they not only have the support of planets here but in a playful and creative part as well. It helps that while it has been two weeks since Mars returned to your work sector to begin what could be two of the busiest months of the year, even he is asking that you hold back. This is not Mars giving you a break and instead is something that is in his self interest. By holding back, when the Moon returns to your career sector on Wednesday to begin some of the most exciting days of the month on the income, work and career fronts, it will be with an open mind. While for the Moon this will be an ordinary monthly visit, with a chance to move into a major alliance between Mars on the job and Saturn on the income front that will peak on Friday, with your professional instincts sharp, finger on the pulse and ear to the ground.
