Stellar Weather: October 2026
October 2026 Stellar Weather Forecast: Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio
A clear patch early, then a low-pressure front rolls through mid-month
Early October settles under a bright, high-pressure sky as Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio, lending a calm spell to the western districts. By mid-month a low-pressure front rolls in, bringing Pluto direct in Aquarius and two meteor showers, the Draconids on the 8th and Orionids on the 21st, so the air feels unsettled and the evenings grow hazy. The month closes with a warm front from the Full Moon in Taurus on the 26th, lifting the temperature and clearing the clouds for a bright, settled finish.
