Friday 23 October 2026. Sun moves to Scorpio.
The Sun changes sign and a new astrological month starts. A good point to check where your most visible work stands. Where it lands depends on your chart: the same degree is someone’s 10th house and someone else’s 4th.

Where 0° Scorpio lands in your chart
Your chart has twelve houses, and 0° Scorpio sits in one of them. For one person that’s the money house. For someone else it’s daily work, or home. Your birth date, time and place decide which.
Each house ties the date to a different part of your work. Houses 2, 6 and 10 are the work houses: income, daily work and your public role.
