Virgo October 2026

You have a financial crisis moment this weekend — full eighth house Aries Moon Saturday, September 26 — and then it’s over. And your financial picture looks much brighter going forward. Awesome Sun, new Libra Moon, and your ruler brilliant Mercury in your second money house bring more and increased funds this month. A welcome relief. Your second house also rules self-worth, ya know…

Your words are everything now, and celebrated after a long, overdue era. Your planet Communications Mercury in your third house of communication (triple whammy) makes you even sharper in your articulation, and your needs get met most by being deeply, madly, emotional. WOW.

Honey getting the most bees and all that! But only in this FINANCIAL matter you’ve been waiting on forever. Two completely different styles.

So you can stop worrying and visualizing the worst. You’ve been holding on so well with Saturn’s challenges, and now it’s time to finally let it all out. Your power of analysis is unequaled in the world, unlike any other. But if you’re driving yourself crazy about somebody, you must stop.

And trust that your financial and professional universe has your back. For it does. Just look at the planetary support you have in your second financial house.

In your second house – also ruling your own self-value – you have:

Awesome, life-giving Sun

Brilliant thought planet Mercury – your ruler

A challenging Libra Moon Saturday, October 10

Your second house, traditionally ruled by earthy Taurus, covers these areas of your life:

Money and possessions

All your finances

Investments

Self-value

Asking for what you are worth (as in getting paid, too)

Self-esteem

Your resources

Saving

Loving yourself, and sensing yourself and the worth of your life

So you’re back in the saddle, Virgo! Valuing yourself and driving your own chariot.

You have felt divided. Your distant behavior helped.

But now it’s time to go direct to the target, Virgo. To do what you do best.

Pluto, planet of clearing out the garbage, goes direct in your Virgo-ruled productivity sixth house October 15.

It is time to clear out.

Your house of self-worth is really where it’s at as September ends and October begins.

Thus, dear Virgo, it is time to begin valuing yourself properly. As much as you give other people: give to yourself.

Money and windfalls are some of the ways you could give to yourself – and there have been those – but, more importantly, you are going to be giving yourself real LOVE.

Love is going to blow wide open for you.

Now you can start to relax about your home and background, that is.

Venus goes retrograde Saturday, October 3 until Friday, November 13 (Friday the 13th!)

It will be the end of an old cycle begun years and years ago.

Every 8 years, Venus goes back to the same area of your chart, so each Venus retrograde is a repeat of the Venus retrograde that occurred 8 years ago, 16 years ago, 24 years ago, and so on. So think back to the period between October and November 2018. What was going on then? Therein lies your clue, Nancy Drew.

For your house of self-worth and finances is where you roll now. No more renovations or luxury spending once Venus goes retrograde, however. You will regret every purchase you make.

Yes, Virgo, it is time to begin valuing yourself properly. As much as you give other people: give to yourself.

A note of caution concerning your resources with others, such as with a partner or with family.

A Pisces friend or sibling could be driving you CRAZY. No, you cannot listen to the same broken record any longer! No way, no how! October is your time of re-claiming. As I said, it’s the end of an old cycle begun years and years ago. As you move forward through this month you give yourself more permission to do what you want to do – not what anyone else wants you to do – and in doing so, you seriously begin to claim your own life.

Venusian self-care and self-love now ignites a very personal journey. And what can turn into self-preservation anxiety also extends to include the collective’s insecurities: fears of have, have not. Comfort zones and self-preservation needs hold their own unique watermark levels, but ultimately it is required that you seek to become responsible for yourself, to create your own safety, security, and sense of well being, and that you also offer the best of what you have to those around you, too. There will be enough to go around if you make it so. So set the stage.

If you falter, forgive yourself and simply start over again. Sometimes you have to admit you can be your own worst enemy! If you find yourself particularly tuckered out, stop (worrying or) working so hard, sit down, take a rest or a longer break.

Money and windfalls are some of the ways you could give to yourself – and there have been those – but, more importantly, you are going to be giving yourself some real LOVE. Then you can start to relax about a property.

You are also stronger than you know and this is one of the important personal ground-breaking realizations you’ll get to test. You learn to become more discriminating and you’ll also learn to put up better boundaries – you are likely to hear yourself saying NO more often (let’s pass out the gold stars). Glorious self-improvements are specialties of Venus retrograde (ironically) but Virgo makes lemonade ALL THE TIME, so mark October as an ideal time to kick some bothersome habit or self-destructive escape like excessive drinking. You will also find it easier to shed weight and to keep it off – although if you find yourself at a plateau, accept it and appreciate it, it will only be temporary.

Extraordinary feelings of care about your home and or a property come through strongly this month. You may even feel as if you are giving back to yourself years and years of deprivation in terms of your home and childhood.

Financial and relationship imbalances, decisions, and enmeshment issues can weigh more heavily.

Thus, the fervent wish becomes less fervent.

You will simply travel when you want to. There is no pressure.

You are going to enjoy this time immensely. Lovers from the past pop back into your life after October 3, so be prepared. They want something, too.
