Every now and then, a spark of cosmic insight is just what we need to guide our next adventure. This season, Joseph Addeo (our RIES Resident Astrologer) brings us his insights as guided by the stars.

Read on to see what this Autumn has in store for your sign... 

The Pisces Lunar Eclipse highlights opportunities to step back from daily challenges, while the Solar Eclipse encourages a re-evaluation of previous work projects, leading to innovative developments. Achieving equilibrium between professional responsibilities and personal well-being is essential. The remainder of the year is focused on moving beyond outdated commitments and preparing to invest energy in new initiatives that foster future advancement. With dedication and perseverance, ambitious dreams may become reality, particularly by early 2026. The autumn months serve as a period for reflection and renewal; it is advisable to allocate time for restorative activities such as weekend retreats, meditation, or nature walks. Mercury will be retrograde from November 9 to November 29, which may result in increased travel disruptions; however, these should not discourage forward progress.

ARIES: 

Saturn and Neptune retreat into your 12th house for the remainder of the year urging a review of the past and focus on healing chronic issues. Exploring spiritual and imaginative realms can bring positive change and open portals for healing. Jump through the looking glass and magical things can happen. Stay mentally and psychologically aware in autumn, travel and expand your perspective in November, then refocus on career goals afterwards. Even though November is a good travel month Mercury and Jupiter turn retrograde on November 9 and November 11 respectively which may cause transportation disruptions. It is best to travel to familiar destinations from the past.   

 

TAURUS: 

October is an opportunity to present creative projects to a wider audience and observe feedback. When Uranus retrogrades into Taurus on November 9, it may be beneficial to revise strategies and refine creative work. Travel for individuals with Taurus placements may be favorable when Venus is in Sagittarius from December 1 through Christmas. During Mercury retrograde (November 9–29), reviewing significant relationships and identifying areas for adjustment is recommended. November may lead to increased indulgence or the resurgence of previous habits. Key dates for potential positive outcomes include October 9-10, November 5-6, and December 3-4. 

 

GEMINI: 

While Uranus remains in Gemini until November 8, there may be changes or heightened activity during this period. Personal development may occur, with aspects of your personality coming to the forefront that require further attention to adjust. Education and learning are recommended for growth. After November 9, consider enrolling in classes to deepen your knowledge. Retrograde Mercury takes place from November 9-29 in the work sector, potentially presenting challenges in this area that need to be addressed. Travel dates to avoid are November 9-12, while October 30 – November 5 is considered more favorable for travel. 

 

CANCER: 

Chart ruler Jupiter will slow its motion throughout autumn ahead of its retrograde station in Cancer on November 11. September, October, and early November are suitable periods for networking, visibility, and developing skills. After the retrograde begins, focus may shift toward internal reflection and refining collaborative skills. Travel is generally favorable during autumn, with recommendations to visit new destinations before November 11 and familiar locations after Jupiter and Mercury both retrograde. Dates that tend to be advantageous for general well-being are October 13-14, November 9-10 (while considering Mercury retrograde), and December 7-8. 

    

LEO: 

The solar eclipse on September 22 may prompt a strong motivation to improve financial prospects, though there could be challenges from others requiring you to demonstrate your capabilities. Earnings gained through diligence are more rewarding than those obtained with little effort. Consider allocating discretionary funds toward leisure activities, particularly around October 21. Optimal travel periods include the days immediately following Thanksgiving. Notable dates for luck are October 15-16, November 11-12 (with possible complications due to Mercury retrograde), and December 9-10. Expect important negotiations in partnerships to intensify between October 13-16; attentive listening and strategic planning will be crucial. Strive to reach compromises that equitably address the interests of all parties involved. 

 

VIRGO: 

The eclipse at 29° Virgo on September 21 marks a period over the next six months characterized by significant transitions and opportunities for growth. It is advisable to transform less constructive Virgo tendencies into beneficial qualities: channel obsessive behaviors into effective organization and multitasking; replace overly critical habits with careful discernment; and foster confidence through supportive assessment of strengths and weaknesses rather than negative criticism. Embrace imperfections as potential assets. This period encourages the development of new skills and promotes efficiency, diligence, and empathy. Mercury will be retrograde from November 9-29, with notable tension anticipated around October 21 and during November 11-13; special attention should be given to managing anger during these dates. Travelling may provide relief from domestic pressures at this time. 

   

LIBRA 

The fall equinox coincides with a Solar Eclipse at the transition between Virgo and Libra. This period calls for a reassessment of priorities and responsibilities in the latter part of 2026. Achieving a balance between personal objectives and the needs of others is essential to restore equilibrium and establish stability. It is important to maintain a healthy balance between professional obligations and leisure, focusing on productivity rather than mere activity. A key relationship in your life may undergo significant changes, and by the year's end, you are likely to see whether it progresses or concludes. This is an appropriate time for thoughtful evaluation. If necessary, set aside time for private discussions with your partner to address important matters, particularly as Mercury and Jupiter retrograde starting November 10 into the end of the month. Best travel time is December.   

 

SCORPIO: 

The autumn equinox marks the start of a three-month period that may involve taking on leadership roles. Taking charge is not necessarily associated with controlling others; instead, effective leaders can delegate responsibilities. Romantic opportunities may arise around October 23, which could be notable regardless of their duration. Travel is likely to be favorable when Mars enters Sagittarius from November 5 to December 15 and heightened during the Jupiter retrograde on November 11. It is advisable to exercise caution due to Mercury retrograding at the same time and pay close attention to details. The new moon on November 20 is expected to be significant. 

 

SAGITTARIUS: 

As autumn begins, there is an increased emphasis on career development and a drive for professional achievement. Sagittarius should pay closer attention to details that enable progress at work. November 5 is identified as a favorable date for travel, which may arise unexpectedly. Around November 11, psychological matters may become more significant. The middle of November presents opportunities for financial improvement and stability. It is advised to avoid being overly assertive when expressing views. Negative feedback from others may be received around December 9 if actions are perceived as excessive. Unexpected events may occur on November 23. 

 

CAPRICORN: 

During Saturn's transit in Aries from May 25 to September 2, you gained valuable insight into your future direction. As Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces for the remainder of the year, it is advisable to reflect on previous experiences and address any lingering obstacles. Take this opportunity to reassess your goals, and beginning November 25, initiate new pursuits and aspirations that are expected to flourish further in 2026. Early December is recommended as an optimal period for travel. Consider planning a meaningful and private experience with your partner. 

 

AQUARIUS: 

September through mid-October is marked by Pluto slowing down as it approaches direct motion on October 14. This period may be suitable for negotiations and collaboration with others. Maintaining an objective perspective can help with decision-making. October 12-16 appears to be a timeframe when matters might reach resolution. With Pluto moving direct until early May 2026, there may be opportunities related to creative projects and activities such as the stock market. Opportunities may still exist despite economic challenges, and it is possible to take advantage of them. Potentially favorable time for travel: October 15-30. 

PISCES: 

Saturn has moved back into Pisces for the remainder of the year, with Neptune set to follow on October 22. This alignment offers a significant opportunity to pursue attainable goals while reassessing and potentially releasing those that are unlikely to be realized. Careful discernment is required to distinguish between feasible ambitions and unrealistic aspirations. Conduct a thorough reevaluation to advance projects capable of delivering substantial satisfaction and reduce efforts away from less viable projects. By February 2026, commitments made toward new endeavors may translate into tangible material and financial stability. The optimal period for travel will occur after Jupiter’s retrograde on November 11 and through the end of the month. As Mercury will also be retrograde at this time, it is advisable to plan meticulously and remain prepared for potential disruptions typically associated with this transit.
