EXTRA | Your special horoscope for Pluto Direct on October 16: you will be able to correct a mistake from the past

On October 16, 2026, Pluto ends its retrograde, which began on May 6, and starts moving direct in Aquarius again. In astrology, this planet is related to major changes and to those moments when we see that something no longer works the same way. During these months, many people may have thought about a decision, a relationship, a family problem, or even something that they did wrong.

A different stage is beginning now. This doesn't mean that something enormous is going to happen on October 16 or that your life will change from one day to the next. The idea is simpler: after months of thinking, you may have a clearer idea of what to do and find a way to correct a mistake from the past.

Maybe you said something you regret, made a decision too quickly, or let an opportunity pass you by. It may also be that you now understand better why something went wrong and that you have the chance to do it differently. Pluto direct can mark that moment when you stop regretting things and start fixing what still has a solution.

What to do when Pluto ends its retrograde

Start with something specific and simple. If you have a pending conversation, find the right time to talk; if you made a bad financial decision, reorganize your expenses. If you distanced yourself from someone out of pride, you may be able to try to approach that person in a different way.

It is also advisable to think about everything that has changed since May. It may be that something you wanted to get back then no longer interests you now or that you see a difficult decision much more clearly now. You could even discover that what you thought was lost can still be fixed.

This is not about erasing the past or pretending that nothing happened. Sometimes moving forward consists of acknowledging that you made a mistake, learning from it, and acting differently. According to your sign, that chance to correct, close, or start again may appear in a different part of your life.

How will Pluto direct affect each zodiac sign?

♈ Aries: stop keeping something you know you are not going to use

Over the last few months, you may have kept an object without really knowing what to do with it. It may be a gift from a former relationship, something inherited, or a box from another stage of your life. It may also be keys that no longer open any door you use.

With Pluto direct, make a decision. You do not have to throw it away: you can give it as a gift, return it, sell it, or keep it if it really means something to you. What will matter is to stop moving it from one drawer to another without knowing what to do with it.

• Do: decide this week what you are going to do with what you are keeping.
• Avoid: keeping it only because you feel sorry to let go of it.

♉ Taurus: check what you are paying for without needing it

An expense that you took on months ago may have stopped making sense. It may be a duplicate insurance policy, a fee, digital storage, a plan that is too expensive, or a service you signed up for to cover a need that no longer exists.

With Pluto direct, review one of those payments and decide whether it is still worth keeping. You may be able to cancel it, change the plan, or get better terms with a simple call.

• Do: review a recurring payment and ask whether there is a better alternative.
• Avoid: continuing to pay just because canceling or changing the service feels like too much effort.

♊ Gemini: delete something you no longer need to keep

Part of the change that Pluto direct brings may be in something as everyday as your phone or computer. There may be photos, documents, or old work folders that you no longer need. There may also be files that you saved "just in case" and that have been taking up space for months without being useful.

Set aside some time to decide what deserves to stay with you and what you can delete for good. This is not about erasing important memories, but about stopping the accumulation of information you no longer need.

• Do: properly save what you do want to keep before you start deleting.
• Avoid: deleting something important because you do everything too quickly.

♋ Cancer: change who is in charge of a family task

There are family responsibilities that end up always falling on the same person simply because no one talks about them again. Buying something for a relative, organizing visits, making a weekly call, or taking care of specific errands are some examples.

With Pluto direct, the time may come to change that distribution. Choose a task that doesn't have to depend on you all the time. Talk to the others and decide who can take charge from now on.

• Do: propose a specific distribution with names and tasks.
• Avoid: continuing to do everything while you wait for others to realize it on their own.

♌ Leo: finish one change before starting another

There may be a small home improvement project that you started and never fully finished. A half-painted wall, curtains still not hung, furniture waiting to be assembled, or a room you were going to reorganize may still be pending.

With Pluto direct, return to that project and try to finish it before starting something else at home. Sometimes the change you need is not to do something new, but to properly complete what you already started.

• Do: buy only what you are missing to finish it.
• Avoid: starting another improvement before completing the previous one.

♍ Virgo: catch up on a checkup you have been postponing

A small discomfort or a checkup you have been postponing may start to claim your attention again. It may be making an appointment with the dentist, getting your eyesight checked, or having a pending blood test done. It may also be something that doesn't seem urgent but that you should no longer ignore.

With Pluto direct, try at least to book the appointment. You do not need to fix everything this week: setting a date will already be a concrete way to stop postponing it.

• Do: make the appointment you have been putting off for a long time.
• Avoid: waiting for something to get worse before you pay attention to it.

♎ Libra: change a route that no longer suits you

A route you take regularly may have turned into a waste of time. It may be your commute to work, a public transportation combination, or the place where you park. Even that errand route may have a better alternative that you have not tried yet.

With Pluto direct, change the way you make one of those trips for a few days and see whether you really gain time or comfort. A small change in your route can end up modifying part of your routine.

• Do: try an alternative on one of your usual routes.
• Avoid: continuing to use the same route only because you know it by heart.

♏ Scorpio: review who can access something of yours

A shared account, a password that someone else knows, a house key, your shared location, or an authorization you granted a long time ago may still be active even though it is no longer necessary.

With Pluto direct, check who still has those accesses and decide which ones still make sense. This is not about distrusting everyone, but about updating permissions that may belong to a previous stage.

• Do: remove at least one access that is no longer necessary.
• Avoid: keeping an old permission only to avoid an uncomfortable conversation.

♐ Sagittarius: an old friendship may come back to your mind

Over these days, you may remember someone you lost touch with without any argument having taken place. A job change, a move, new routines, or simply several unanswered messages may have ended up distancing you.

If you truly miss that person, Pluto direct can mark a good time to check whether that bond still exists. You do not need to write an emotional message: suggest something specific and see what response you receive.

• Do: suggest a day and a place if you really want to see this person again.
• Avoid: only sending "we should get together" and expecting the other person to organize everything.

♑ Capricorn: use something you learned and stopped practicing

A course, classes, or a training program may have taught you something that you hardly used afterward. It may be a language, a software program, a technique, a complicated recipe, or any practical skill you have been neglecting.

Before signing up for something new, bring back one of those skills over these days. You may discover that you remember much more than you thought and that you can still put it to good use.

• Do: use a skill this week that you have not practiced for months.
• Avoid: starting another training program just to accumulate knowledge.

♒ Aquarius: drop an activity that no longer represents you

Pluto ends its retrograde precisely in Aquarius. After several months of reviewing certain decisions, there may be an activity, group, or commitment that you are still part of even though you no longer feel the same desire to participate.

There doesn't have to have been any problem. Maybe you simply stopped going, you no longer use that service, or every time you receive a related proposal you think you would rather do something else. Pluto direct can help you turn that feeling into a decision.

• Do: decide whether you really want to continue being part of that group, activity, or commitment.
• Avoid: staying only because you have been there for a long time.

♓ Pisces: check which document you will have to renew soon

A document you hardly ever look at may be approaching its expiration date. Your ID card, passport, driver's license, a card, a license, or a certificate may need renewal sooner than you remember.

Use these days to check the dates and find out what you need to renew it. If there is still time left, at least write down when you will have to do it so that it doesn't catch you off guard just when you need to use it.

• Do: check the expiration date of the documents you use less frequently.
• Avoid: waiting until you need one of them to discover that it is no longer valid.

Simple ritual to perform during Pluto direct

You can perform this ritual on the night of October 16 or over the following days. You will only need two small pieces of paper, a pen, and a key.

On the first piece of paper, write something that has changed since May. It may be a relationship that you now see differently, a habit you no longer want to keep, or a decision you are finally sure about.

On the second one, write what you are going to do from now on. Use a specific action: "I am going to cancel this fee," "I am going to return this object," "I am going to have that conversation," or "I am going to finish what I started."

Place the key on top of both pieces of paper and leave them like that all night. The key will symbolize the passage between what you have been reconsidering and the decision you are making now.

The next morning, tear up and throw away the first piece of paper. Keep the second one together with the key for seven days.

After a week, read it again. If you have done what you wrote, tear up that paper as well and start using the key normally again. If you still have not done it, write down a specific date to do it and keep the paper until that day.
