♍ Virgo · Monthly · October 2026
Value your words and time
Money and self-worth are strong themes early in October. Retrograde Venus asks you to look at how you value your time and skills. If you've been undercharging or overgiving, now is the time to notice it. Small, practical changes can help you understand what is and is not working.
As the month progresses, your focus shifts to communication, learning and your local community. Your ruling planet Mercury turns retrograde on 24 October, which is ideal for editing, revising and reconnecting with people you've lost touch with. Leave time to double-check details.
✦ Value yourself, choose your words with care, and let your horizons widen.
