Overview: This week invites a deep turning inward. 

The New Moon in Libra opens a portal for recalibrating relationships and restoring inner balance after months of disruption. As Neptune re-enters Pisces, we begin the final chapter of a 14-year collective dream cycle—time to dissolve what’s illusion and harvest what’s true from our spiritual and creative evolution since 2011. The Sun’s move into Scorpio and a cascade of aspects between Jupiter, Chiron, and Pluto intensify the alchemical work—shadow integration, emotional honesty, and soulful truth-telling. By the weekend, Mercury trines Saturn, grounding the revelations of the week into practical wisdom.

Tuesday, October 21 – New Moon in Libra 

This New Moon at 28° Libra invites you to seed new relational patterns founded on authentic harmony, not people-pleasing. Libra’s evolutionary task is to balance the dance between self and other—how to stay centered in your truth while staying connected. After recent Pluto-Venus shifts, this lunation renews your capacity for grace under transformation.

Reflection: What new relational agreement—inner or outer—wants to be born from truth, not habit?

Wednesday, October 22 – Neptune re-enters Pisces; Sun enters Scorpio

Neptune’s return to Pisces (through January 2026) completes the vast oceanic cycle that began in 2011. This is the closing dream—time to discern which visions still hold soul truth and which dissolve into mist. The Sun’s shift into Scorpio deepens this inquiry, illuminating what must be released for renewal. The veils thin, inviting compassionate surrender and courageous descent.

Reflection: What illusions are ready to dissolve so your truer vision can emerge?

Thursday, October 23 – Jupiter in Cancer square Chiron in Aries 

Expanding beyond old emotional defenses, this tension invites healing around belonging and self-protection. Jupiter amplifies the need for emotional security, while Chiron exposes the wounds that prevent full self-trust. Growth arises from vulnerability—learning to nurture without over-giving.

Reflection: Where does your growth now require tenderness instead of toughness?

Friday, October 24 – Sun in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius

This potent square exposes the power dynamics in your relationships and your psyche. Transformation accelerates when you face control, fear, or resistance with honesty. Pluto in Aquarius asks for collective evolution; the Sun in Scorpio demands emotional integrity. Together, they burn away falseness so something new can be born from the ashes.

Reflection: What truth wants to surface, no matter how uncomfortable, to set you free?

Saturday, October 25 – Mercury in Scorpio trine Saturn in Pisces

After an intense week, this trine grounds insights into words and form. Deep communication and intuitive clarity become available. Saturn helps you translate the ineffable into structure—journaling, ritual, or commitments that honor your truth.

Reflection: What truth or insight is ready to be named and anchored into practice?
