Cancer Horoscope October 2025
Home & Family
Libra is the star sign at the base of your horoscope ruling your home and family, your past and where you come from. If you’re a typical Cancer, this is where you find balance and harmony in your life. You often retire to your home, your nest, your loved ones if you’re feeling unbalanced.
Libra season continues this month until the 23rd but there are key planets in Libra throughout October. Talk planet Mercury is here until the 6th and the planet of love, harmony and beauty Venus enters Libra on the 13th.
This is about entertaining, catching up with relatives, enjoying your home, decorating and making things cosy and comfortable. You might be spending more money than usual on these key areas of your life.
This would be a good month to consider your surroundings, whether you want to redecorate or find a new home. You may discover that working from home is possible. Or perhaps, you’re opening your home to guests or family. Mid-month is pivotal in this respect.
If you need to restore harmony or order at home or in your personal life, make this a priority. Know what comforts you and prioritise safety and security.
Full Moon/New Moon
Also this month, the Full Moon and New Moon light up the foundations of your horoscope. The Moon cycle is significant for you because your star sign Cancer is ruled by the Moon.
Your emotions often ebb and flow like the changeable nature of the Moon. And, more often than not, you’re highly attuned to the effects of the Moon cycle.
This month’s Full Moon falls in Aries and your career and vocation sector on the 7th. This Full Moon cuts across the Aries/Libra axis of the zodiac highlighting the foundations of your life.
You may be acutely aware of the work/life balance during this Full Moon. Or perhaps, you feel pulled in different directions. This would be a positive time to make an intuitive decision around work and home. Consider what needs to change so you feel that you’re moving in the right direction.
There may be different aspects of your life to weigh up, perhaps financial or emotional. The week after the Full Moon, there’s a powerful air sign connection in the heavens on the 14th, linking your home and family, money and finances, your past and connections to the past.
Create systems in your life that work, use your networks and connections to help the ones you love and bring people together in your life in the spirit of camaraderie and collaboration.
The 21st is the day of the New Moon in Libra, a symbol of new beginnings and ideal for a fresh start when it comes to your home and family.
Remember that as a Sun Cancer, you create family wherever you are, so this isn’t only about blood relatives but people dear to your heart, your employees or the people you work alongside.
Scorpio Power
Scorpio is a fellow water sign and Scorpio season starts officially on the 23rd. However, this month, there’s strong emphasis on Scorpio as soon as the month begins. Firstly, action planet Mars is in Scorpio throughout October. Secondly, talk planet Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio from the 6th to the 29th.
Scorpio’s a sexy and passionate star sign which rules love affairs and romance in your horoscope. This combination feels passionate, whether you know what you want in love or you’re being pursued by someone new. In fact, someone new entering your world could be the catalyst for a shift in a close relationship.
Scorpio is the sector of your horoscope linked to children. Pregnancy or child-care may be a hot topic. Be bold and make the right moves to bring you closer to your children or grandchildren. This is especially important if you suspect that a child’s hiding something from you. You could choose this month to broach a sensitive or taboo subject.
The line-up of planets in Scorpio could turbo-drive your creativity. At the very least, you’re wise to find a constructive outlet for your passion and power.
The 20th may prove significant when there’s a Mercury-Mars conjunction in Scorpio encouraging you to walk your talk and do what you say. This isn’t a month to be shy or hide away. The stars are calling you out to actively engage with other people and let your passion show.
This is important because talk planet Mercury is slowing down towards the end of the month and will turn retrograde on November 9th. Therefore, any key negotiations you’re having now could take longer to play out than usual. Bear this in mind.
And, it’s the last week of October which could prove eventful when there are two Grand Water Trines taking place, an overflow of emotion. This involves Mercury and Mars in Scorpio teaming up with the leaders of the Gods, Jupiter in your star sign Cancer and Saturn in Pisces.
This links the personal, creative and inspirational sectors of your horoscope. Lean into your unique gifts and talents and share them with the world.
Also, note where you’re being called to play a protective role and look after other people. Perhaps, this is your loved ones or people from a different culture or background. What takes place towards the end of the month may remind you of your place within the world.
Neptune Returns To Pisces
Last month, get real Saturn returned to Pisces and this month, fantasy planet Neptune returns to Pisces on the 22nd. Pisces is the last star sign and an emotional water sign. It’s the place where the ego dissolves and you encounter the vastness of the universe and the one-ness of life.
It’s a spiritual realm for you, the place where you find meaning and purpose in life. This can be found in different ways, via travel and study, religion or philosophy. Consider why you may be turning to prayer or you’re looking to reaffirm your trust in the universe. Where and why do you need to lose yourself and find solace beyond the everyday?
This is the last chapter as both Saturn and Neptune are completing their journeys through Pisces. For Saturn, it began in March 2023 whereas for Neptune it began in 2011.
Perhaps, you’re not quite ready to step into a new career journey or future path. Perhaps, you want more time to dream and bathe in wonder and magic. Do what feels right for you over the next few months before a new phase kicks in early 2026.
Pluto Turns Direct
The slowest-moving planet Pluto turns direct in Aquarius on the 14th, the star sign linked to technology, equality and the collective. Aquarius highlights money in your horoscope as it’s your joint finance sector.
Therefore, you’re wise to shift your focus to money, investments and your future security. If you’re a typical Sun Cancer, you hold on tight to money and security but Pluto turning direct could bring significant change or transformation to your finances and what money means to you.
You may be dealing with an inheritance or doing battle with your taxes. It can play out in different ways. Sometimes, hidden riches come to light when Pluto emerges from the underworld.
It’s not just about money, however, but energy, metaphysics and the esoteric realm. Pluto was God of the Underworld in mythology and Aquarius represents the part of your horoscope that’s to do with all things hidden, even taboo. Therefore, you could take a leap into the unknown and choose to explore hidden or secret knowledge on a deeper level.
