Jupiter in Leo forms an exact sextile to his Sun on October 21 and a trine to his Moon on October 10, the most supportive aspects of his autumn. At the same time Venus and Mercury both turn retrograde in Scorpio, in his house of messages.

Donald Trump in October 2026: the reading

October opens with one of the friendliest skies Donald Trump has seen this year. Jupiter, moving through Leo, forms a trine to his Sagittarius Moon (exact October 10) and a sextile to his Gemini Sun (exact October 21). Astrologically this favours confidence, rallies and moments when public mood seems to turn his way. The New Moon in Libra on October 10 lands exactly on his natal Jupiter, a classic signature for money, deals and fresh offers.

The caveat comes from the inner planets. Venus turns retrograde on October 3 and Mercury on October 24, both in Scorpio, which falls in his third house of communication, media and short trips. Retrogrades there favour revisions, retractions and old statements coming back into view rather than brand-new messages. Saturn is also within orb of a square to his Mercury, so words carry heavier consequences than usual.

Jupiter is beginning a square to his Midheaven, exact on November 1: ambition runs high, and so does the risk of overreach.
