Η 10 October 2026 It doesn’t just bring the New Moon in Libra. A few hours later, one of the most explosive romantic aspects of the period reaches its peak: the Retrograde Venus at 7°21′ of Scorpio forms a square with Mars at 7°21′ of Leo.
This aspect primarily activates the first ten days and creates a particularly intense mix of desire and conflict. We may want someone very much and, at the same time, be angry with them. There may be tremendous chemistry, but little willingness to compromise. Or a situation we thought we’d left behind may resurface, and we realise it still affects us.
And because Venus is in retrograde, the past takes on even greater significance. Ex-partners, old feelings, jealousy, unresolved issues and relationships that never really ended may come back into the spotlight.

Retrograde Venus square Mars: when «I want you» doesn’t mean «we can be together»
Venus describes what we love, what we desire and what we consider valuable. It is associated with love, relationships, self-esteem and money. In Scorpio, emotions take on depth and intensity: there is little room for indifference or superficiality.
However, when it is retrograde, we revert to previous choices. We may find ourselves wondering whether we actually want someone we left behind, reconsider a relationship, or realise that a feeling hadn’t really ended.
Mars in Leo, on the other hand, wants to make its mark. It wants a response, recognition and a clear place in the other person’s life.
The square formed between them creates intense romantic and sexual chemistry, but it can also lead to competition, irritation, jealousy, power struggles and conflicts over who is in control.
Someone might come back, and the attraction might still be there. But that doesn’t mean the reasons that once led to the estrangement have been resolved.
The big question of the day is simple:
Do you really want this person, or are you once again being swept away by the tension between you?;
Leo — Don’t let your ego make decisions for you
Mars in your sign boosts your energy, self-confidence and your urge to take the initiative. You’re not particularly keen on waiting for others, and you may assert yourself much more strongly to get what you want.
A personal or family story from the past, however, may resurface and weigh heavily on you emotionally. You may need to strike a balance between what you want and the demands of a person or a family situation.
In relationships, avoid playing the «who will give in first» game. The first ten days are the main focus.
Aquarius — Relationships and career are heading in different directions
A partner or colleague may become more demanding or ask you to take a clear stance. Tensions may run high, especially if there have been things left unsaid recently.
At the same time, a past professional situation, collaboration or proposal may resurface. You may need to decide how to balance your time and energy between your personal and professional lives.
Don’t make an important decision just to win an argument. The first ten days are the main focus.
Scorpio — Someone from your past may want you back
With Venus retrograde in your sign, comebacks take on a very personal character. Someone may reappear, a relationship may ask for a second chance, or you yourself may start to wonder whether you made the right decision in the past.
The attraction may be extremely strong, but at the same time your career, ambitions or a work-related situation demand your attention. Also, be wary of conflicts that arise because you feel that someone is trying to control your choices.
The fact that a person has returned is not, in itself, proof of change. The first ten days are the main focus.
Taurus — The relationship needs answers
Your relationships and partnerships are going through a period of reassessment. A former partner may return, an existing relationship may bring an old problem back to the surface, or a partnership may require new terms.
At the same time, home and family can be a source of tension. You may need to defend a personal choice or juggle the differing demands of those closest to you.
There’s passion, but what you need right now is more than just chemistry. You need to see whether two people can genuinely want the same thing. The first ten days are the main focus.
Your star sign is only a small part of your astrological chart
Even if your star sign is not among those listed above, the aspect still takes place somewhere within your personal birth chart and it may have an impact on your relationships, finances, career, family or a completely different area of your life.
Our star sign accounts for only a small proportion of our astrological chart. The date, exact time and place of birth These are the things that allow us to see how a particular period affects you specifically.
