October 2026 brings significant astrological shifts to people's lives, demanding ultimate mindfulness and caution. According to an exclusive forecast by renowned astrologer Kateryna Solovyova until October 18 of this year, we face a powerful complex of cosmic influences, including the retrograde Venus period, Mars passing through a 'destructive degree', and the transition of the White Moon into Libra. These celestial transits affect key areas of life: interpersonal relationships, financial obligations, creative endeavors, and professional development. Understanding these cycles minimizes risks and helps navigate difficult patches with minimal losses.

Impact of the White Moon and Retrograde Venus

The event of the week was the October 12 transition of the White Moon (Selene) into the sign of Libra, where it will stay for the next seven months. This period symbolizes the pursuit of harmony, diplomacy, and justice, though its beginning is overshadowed by Selene residing in the 'destructive degree' of Libra from October 12 to 19. Simultaneously, the retrograde Venus period runs from October 3 to November 14, imposing strict limitations on financial transactions, major contract signings, image makeovers, and marriage registrations. The astrologer emphasizes that the main lesson of this time is developing unconditional self-love and avoiding reckless steps in personal life.

Trials of Mars and Daily Calendar

An additional source of tension will be Mars passing through the 'destructive degree' of Leo from October 13 to 15, which could provoke disappointments, flashes of egoism, and conflicts. In her daily forecast, Kateryna Solovyova recommends avoiding major undertakings: Tuesday and Wednesday are marked as potentially stressful and conflict-prone days when the risk of misinformation, financial losses, and fraud increases. Thursday and Friday are best dedicated to routine duties, internal cleansing, and summarizing results, while refraining from signing contracts and launching new global projects.

Contradictory Data

It is worth noting that discrepancies often arise in astrological forecasts regarding the interpretation of specific degrees and their impact on Zodiac signs. While some sources focus exclusively on negative scenarios, destructions, and inevitable relationship breakups during retrograde Venus, experts like Kateryna Solovyova emphasize the dual nature of 'destructive degrees', which carry not only crises but also the potential for deep recovery, rethinking experiences, and spiritual growth provided inner resilience and endurance are demonstrated.
