  Last Quarter in Cancer

  The Waning Moon in Cancer opens the month by clearing stored emotions. It’s time to listen to what your body and soul have been trying to tell you for a long while. By releasing expectations and old wounds, you create space for something much lighter to enter.

  Love

  Sensitivity and emotional neediness increase. It’s important not to confuse affection with dependence. If you’re in a relationship, have honest, gentle conversations — but watch out for drama. If you’re single, nurture your self-esteem and your relationship with yourself. That’s where everything begins.

  Money

  Avoid decisions driven by emotional impulses. Focus on security and review expenses related to comfort, home, and emotional needs.

  Health and well-being

  Allow yourself to feel, to rest, to welcome your body. Emotional self-care is the priority now. Cooking, sleeping well, hugging people who make you feel safe — everything becomes medicine.

  ✨ Magic Tip: Take a warm bath with chamomile and basil, and at the end say: “I release what no longer protects me.”

  New Moon in Libra

  Libra brings diplomacy, charm, and necessary adjustments. It’s the perfect New Moon to align relationships — romantic, professional, and even your relationship with yourself. This is where what is beautiful and fair is born.

  Love

  Couples can redefine agreements and strengthen the bond with more presence and partnership. Singles may feel drawn to intelligent, reciprocal connections. Balance is the new sexy.

  Money

  Negotiations flow better now, as do partnerships. This is an excellent moment to seal agreements with clarity and mutual benefit.

  Health and well-being

  Seek activities that bring lightness and aesthetic or social pleasure: dancing, walking with someone you love, making your home more beautiful.

  ✨ Magic Tip: Write an intention for your relationships and place it under a rose quartz crystal for 7 days. Love responds to those who call with honesty.

• 

  First Quarter in Capricorn

  Now it’s time to work on what you began. Capricorn does not play with what has value: discipline, ambition, and results. This Moon brings the strength needed to put Libra’s intentions into actual motion.

  Love

  Relationships grow when they have purpose. If you’re partnered, talk about the future (whether together or apart). If you’re single, pay attention to those who show consistency — not just interest.

  Money

  Organize investments and priorities. You can take an important step toward greater stability, but without rushing: strategy over impulsiveness.

  Health and well-being

  This lunar phase invites you to structure your routine and be responsible with your body. Hydration, stable meals, and proper rest make all the difference.

  ✨ Magic Tip: Write down which structure you want to strengthen in your life and tape it to your closet door. Your future is built in the present.

• 

  Full Moon in Taurus

  Here we reach the peak of the month. The Full Moon in Taurus illuminates what truly sustains us: our finances, our body, our emotional bonds. But… Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is active, questioning whether this “security” is real or just attachment to the familiar. It’s a reality check layered with pleasure and self-worth.

  Love

  Expect deep conversations — about jealousy, power, loyalty, and vulnerability. Strong bonds grow stronger; fragile ones may reveal cracks. Singles may experience a magnetic attraction… but stay mindful of intentions.

  Money

  Time to look at your finances with courage: what must change, grow, or end? Avoid major contracts until Mercury returns to normal flow — negotiations may require revision.

  Health and well-being

  The body feels everything. Physical sensations intensify — both pleasure and tension. Sexuality and self-care are amplified. Pamper yourself. Stretch. Breathe. Eat with intention.

  ✨ Magic Tip: Hold a coin or a stone you like and visualize: “I deserve stability, pleasure, and abundance.” Keep it as a talisman.

Moon phases in October 2026: what I want for myself, I put into practice

October is a month that brings the heart closer to the ground. It asks you to shine a light on what you feel, make honest agreements with those walking beside you, and take responsibility for what you want to build.

And when the Full Moon in Taurus meets Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, prepare for candid conversations and decisions rooted in what is essential — not what is comfortable.

This month teaches that caring for yourself also means having the courage to change structures that no longer serve you. That love needs balance. That pleasure deserves attention. And that truth, even when it demands transformation, always sets you free.

October wants to see you whole — in body, heart, and purpose.
