Horoscope for October 5, 2026 — The Return of the Ex

Horoscope for October 5, 2026Photo © CiberCuba / ChatGPT

Venus began its retrograde in Scorpio on October 3, and we are fully entering a phase of reviewing our relationships. The days 5, 6, and 7 may be especially intense for experiencing what many refer to as “the return of the ex”.

However, when we talk about an ex, it doesn't necessarily have to be an ex-partner. It could be an old friend, a colleague, a partner, a boss, or simply someone with whom you shared an important phase of your life. It might even be you who feels a strong desire to reach out to someone who is now in the past.

Why now? Venus retrograde in Scorpio takes us precisely into the depths of our emotional world. It stirs up feelings, desires, wounds, and issues that we may have thought were resolved, but still need a conversation.

Moreover, tomorrow Mercury will meet Venus in Scorpio, creating a particularly interesting moment to discuss what we have avoided for a long time.

The fact that someone returns doesn't mean they have to stay. Sometimes the past comes back to give us another chance. Other times, it returns simply so we can understand, heal, and finally close a door for good.

Remember that there are still echoes of the recent Full Moon in Aries and its call to end cycles. If someone reappears these days, before opening the door to them again, ask yourself something: What did you learn when they left?

Aries

Today is not a day for rushing, Aries, even though you always want to start before anyone else. The universe is asking you to pause for a moment and look within, to take stock of what you have built over these past months. There is something you let go of halfway, and today the skies offer you the chance to truly close that chapter. Sometimes, what heals the most is knowing that the other person is still there, without causing any disturbance. When it comes to money, avoid making impulsive decisions. The week begins with strength, but you must channel it properly.

Lucky number: 7 · Compatibility: Leo · Advice: Let go of what has already completed its cycle and open your hands to what is coming.

Taurus

Tauro, you know better than anyone what it means to build slowly. Today, that perseverance within your soul will yield results you perhaps weren't anticipating. The waning moon touches your deepest emotional zone, and you might feel a wave of nostalgia. Don't shy away from that feeling, but keep moving forward. In love, if there's someone you haven't spoken to in a while, they might reappear. If you decide to reach out, do so with sincerity and without false pretenses.

Lucky number: 33 · Compatibility: Virgo · Advice: What you built through hard work cannot be taken away from you.

Gemini

Gemini, today your mind is racing. There are thoughts you have been carrying like extra baggage, and the heavens invite you to do some clearing out. You don't have to solve everything at once; just admit what it is that you truly want. On the family front, a piece of news or a conversation may touch your heart. In financial matters, there is a small opportunity that deserves your attention. Don't let it slip by while you are distracted by other things. Today, the universe rewards those who listen.

Lucky number: 21 · Compatibility: Libra · Advice: Listen more and speak only when necessary.

Cancer

Today the moon embraces you, Cancer, because you are her favorite child. This Monday serves as a reminder that love doesn't require the same mailing address to be real. Write, call, send a picture of what you are seeing — those little gestures are what keep the flame alive. At work, your intuition is your best tool. Trust what you feel before making any decisions. The harvest of this month begins with what you plant in the hearts of those you love.

Lucky number: 9 · Compatibility: Pisces · Advice: The love you keep alive from a distance is the bravest of all.

Leo

Leo, you who illuminate others so much, today the heavens ask that you save a little light for yourself. It’s a good day to review which projects you’ve been carrying without making progress, to decide which ones to keep and which have already fulfilled their time. In love, honesty opens doors that pride keeps closed. If there is something to forgive, either someone else or yourself, the energy supports that gesture. In terms of health, take care of both your back and your heart.

Lucky number: 44 · Compatibility: Aries · Advice: Even the sun takes its night. Recharging is a way to shine.

Virgo

Virgo, this Monday brings an energy of settling accounts—not in a dramatic sense, but in terms of organizing what you have been postponing for some time. There is a task, a procedure, a conversation that you have been putting off. Today is the day to take a step, even if it's a small one. It's also time to lower your self-expectations a bit; not everything has to be perfect to have value. In your family life, someone close to you needs you to listen. Don't overwhelm them with advice.

Lucky number: 16 · Compatibility: Taurus · Advice: Don't lose the big picture over a loose thread.

Libra

Libra, this Monday arrives filled with a sense of personal renewal that urges you to look at yourself in the mirror with kindness. There are things you let go of this year—people, versions of yourself, expectations that weren't truly yours—and today you can feel what that has liberated within you. Don't forget it. In love, if you are in a relationship, a spontaneous gesture of affection is worth more than a thousand serious conversations. If you're single, trust that what is coming will arrive when you are truly ready.

Lucky number: 28 · Compatibility: Gemini · Advice: Sometimes it’s enough to let go and breathe.

Scorpio

Scorpio, the waning moon activates something you have been processing silently for a while. Do not be afraid of the change that is taking shape; it is exactly what you need. There is an emotional connection that requires attention today, perhaps someone with whom communication has cooled without either party deciding to let it happen. An honest message can change that flow. At work, your ability to see what others cannot gives you an advantage; use it wisely. The path opens for those who are not afraid of the dark.

Lucky number: 55 · Compatibility: Cancer · Advice: What transforms in silence is the most powerful.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, there is a personal harvest from these months that deserves to be recognized, even if you are already thinking about what’s next. In the family realm, there may be news from someone you miss. Stay available and keep your heart open. In love, adventure is great, but today what connects the most is sincere conversation, without haste. Economically, an idea you've been mulling over has more potential than you think; give it a bit more shape before sharing it.

Lucky number: 37 · Compatibility: Aries · Advice: Looking back with gratitude does not hinder your flight; it gives you more momentum.

Capricorn

Capricorn, you are one to put in the effort without complaint. The universe recognizes that hard work and grants you an energy of consolidation: what you have built through dedication and perseverance is beginning to yield more visible results. Do not downplay it. You may feel the urge to reconnect with someone from your past, someone who has been on your mind for a while. Proceed with caution and only if it is truly necessary.

Lucky number: 12 · Compatibility: Virgo · Advice: Those who work with faith in their own path will always arrive.

Aquarium

Aquarius, your mind is always ahead of its time, but today the universe invites you to be present, here and now. There is an emotion that you have been over-rationalizing —something you feel but haven't truly allowed to flow. Give it permission. On the social front, someone in your circle needs your unique perspective. Economically, avoid big commitments until Wednesday; the week needs to settle. In love, the originality that defines you is also your greatest attraction.

Lucky number: 63 · Compatibility: Sagittarius · Advice: The heart has its own logic; learn to listen to it.

Pisces

Pisces, the veil between what is seen and what is felt is very thin, and you perceive it before anyone else. This Monday may bring you dreams, strong intuitions, or simply the feeling that someone who is no longer near is still present in some way. At work, your sensitivity is a gift, not a weakness; use it to connect with those around you. In love, the tenderness you give so easily deserves to be reciprocated: don't settle for less than what you offer.

Lucky number: 8 · Compatibility: Cancer · Advice: Forgiving is not forgetting; it's relieving yourself of a burden that was never yours.
