Show notes

In this episode, Kira is joined by the astrologer Skye Barclay to discuss Venus retrograde and the current Venus retrograde in Scorpio and Libra.

As a note: this episode was originally intended to be a bonus episode, but my ongoing Wi-Fi struggles meant that I couldn't record any additional episodes so this is going up as a regularly scheduled Tuesday post! This also means that Threads of Fate will likely be on a brief and temporary hiatus until my Wi-Fi comes back online in the back half of October. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

October 2026 Astrology Forecast: The Descent Into Disgust and Desire Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Threads of Fate, Kira is joined by the astrologer Chloe Margherita to break down the astrology of October 2026. They discuss the long-awaited Venus retrograde, the new moon in Libra and full moon in Taurus, along with all the other major planetary moments of the month.

A Note From Kira: Hi, everyone! Chloe joined me this month because I have not had access to WiFi for several weeks now and needed someone who could upload the recording. That being said, the connection isn't great because it was on my personal hotspot and the video version ended up being unwatchable for the first 20 minutes or so. I figured a less than perfect forecast was better than no forecast at all, but sorry for the less than stellar quality! May Chloe's brilliance make up for the technical difficulties. They should be resolved after the next episode.

In this episode, Kira is joined by the astrologer Elly Higgins to talk about the 6th house.
