Scorpio

24 Oct – 22 Nov

Date: Wednesday 7th October 2026

Artistic friends could probably do with your help. You may be able to see commercial possibilities that they've missed. Your skill as a copy-writer could come into its own. During a short journey you might experience several incidents any one of which would be worth writing up for a magazine. You might also persuade someone who's 'in to administration' to see the funny side of a regulation.

Date: Thursday 8th October 2026

Music is likely to play an even more important role than usual. If you're somewhere unfamiliar, then a favourite piece should reduce any anxiety. The sound of the sea and waves might be comforting too. Rhythms – old and new – could have healing effect. You might also have great impact on those born under the other water signs (Cancer and Pisces).

Date: Friday 9th October 2026

Consciously or unconsciously, you could be testing the strength of your relationship with those born under Taurus and Libra. Their desire for harmony could be at odds with your desire to seek the truth. Neither of these friends might have the language to describe potentially negative outcomes. Financial discussions could reach a turning point. You may need to point out what you're owed.

Week: Sunday 4th October – Saturday 10th October 2026

On Tuesday, Mercury and Venus meet in your sign. This is not something that happens every year and serves as a key marker in your life journey. Mercury is the planet of communications and Venus of relationships. As Mars is in near exact right angle to both planets, it seems likely that all Scorpios will give thought to a major relationship, investment in it and how it might be improved. Obviously much depends on your personal chart, but it's very likely that major purchases will be made. An ethical dilemma is possible however. You may find yourself at odds with an Aries, Leo or Sagittarius (all Fire signs), whose enthusiasm may be blinding them to levels of risk.
