♋︎ Cancer horoscope, October 2026
Home and family (until 22 October)
In these weeks you are drawn towards home. Family and home need attention. A good time to tidy up, mend things and invite someone round.
Joy, children and play (from 23 October)
A month for joy, play and love. You treat yourself more than usual, and that is fine. Children, hobbies and romance get their due.
Venus, Mars and Mercury
- Venus is in the house of love in these weeks. A lovely month for people in love and for anything that brings joy. (1 to 24 October)
- Venus brings peace to your home in these weeks. A good month for guests and cosy evenings. (25 to 31 October)
- Mars puts drive into money matters in these weeks. Good for earning, less good for quick purchases.
