First Quarter Moon in Capricorn

Exact at

The waxing Moon in Capricorn forms a square with the Sun — halfway from the new moon to the full moon.

What it means

The first quarter is a phase in which the Moon is roughly halfway from the new moon to the full moon and forms a right angle with the Sun. In astrology, it is traditionally associated with a time of action, making an effort, and checking how initiated plans are developing; the sign of Capricorn relates to responsibility, structure, and consequences. You may treat this time as an opportunity to notice what requires organization or perseverance, without determining specific events in advance. Within the stated timeframe, the phase lasts approximately one day, from October 18 to 19, 2026.

  • Beginning of autumn — Libra monthThe Sun enters Libra. This is the astronomical beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. The zodiac month lasts until the Sun enters the sign again.

In the coming days

Six days from the selected date — like an upcoming-events list, not just "today".

  • Orionid MaximumThe Orionids are an autumn trail of Comet Halley—the same dust that produces the Eta Aquariids in spring.
  • Zodiac month: ScorpioWe count the calendar “zodiac month” from the heliacal entry of the Sun into the sign, not from the date of the Sun’s birthday in the horoscope.
  • Mercury begins retrogradeA station is a change in the geocentric speed of ecliptic longitude, not a physical halt of the planet in the Solar System.
  • Venus Morning/Evening Star — Venus Star PointThis moment occurs at Venus’s inferior conjunction with the Sun, in the middle of its retrograde — it repeats approximately once every eight years at the same point in the zodiac.
