♋︎ Cancer horoscope, October 2028
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 brings pleasure in beautiful things in these weeks. Spending on them is fine in moderation. (1 to 2 October)
- Venus makes conversations warmer in these weeks, especially with brothers, sisters and neighbours. (3 to 27 October)
- Venus brings peace to your home in these weeks. A good month for guests and cosy evenings. (28 to 31 October)
- Mars puts drive into money matters in these weeks. Good for earning, less good for quick purchases. (1 to 23 October)
- Mars sharpens your words in these weeks. A word too many slips out easily. (24 to 31 October)
- Mercury gets family conversations going in these weeks, including overdue ones.
Mercury retrograde, 19 September to 11 October 2028: Mercury is retrograde in the house of home: appliances play up, and old family stories come to the table.
New moon and full moon
- Full moon, 3 October, 16:24 UTC, in Aries · Career and standing: in your career it shows what you have achieved. A good moment to take stock.
- New moon, 18 October, 02:56 UTC, in Libra · Home and family: A new start at home. A good moment for a change within your own four walls.
