This week’s Theme: The Pause Between Depth and Flight

This week we stand in the still point between deep water and wide sky. Jupiter turns inward in Cancer, inviting a review of how we grow through care and belonging. Mercury retrograde meets Mars in Sagittarius—rekindling the courage to speak truth that liberates. And the Sun’s trines to Jupiter and Saturn offer calm integration after months of intensity.

Beneath it all, the long dance of Uranus and Neptune hums below the threshold—reminding us that every personal turning is part of a collective evolution.

Tuesday Nov 11: Jupiter turns retrograde in Cancer

 The Great Expander begins his inward journey through the tender waters of Cancer. What has grown outward since midsummer now asks to deepen inward. This is not contraction—it’s consecration. Jupiter’s retrograde reviews the emotional architecture that supports your growth. Are your roots strong enough to hold what you’ve been cultivating?

Re-root abundance in emotional integrity.
Reflection question: What belief about safety or success is ready to be rewritten from the inside out?

Wednesday Nov 12: Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars in Sagittarius

 The Messenger meets the Warrior(iess) on the path of the Seeker. This is the second in a trilogy of conjunctions—the first in late October in Scorpio unearthed hidden truths, this one in Sagittarius gives them voice, and the third next January in Capricorn will anchor them in mature, embodied wisdom.

Now, words burn bright. Mercury’s review asks: Can I speak with courage without aggression? Mars urges movement—but not haste. Together they teach how conviction becomes illumination when rooted in reflection.

Transform reactive speech into revelatory communication.
Reflection question: What truth needs to be re-spoken with heart-centered courage rather than urgency or defense?

Sunday Nov 16: Sun in Scorpio trines Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces

A harmonious Grand Water flow blesses the week’s end. The Sun in Scorpio—self in transformation—finds steady current with Jupiter’s inner faith and Saturn’s compassionate discipline. After months of deep excavation, emotional insight can finally take shape. This is the sweet point where intensity ripens into wisdom.

Let renewed self-trust become a stabilizing current for your next cycle.

Reflection question: What part of me is emerging from the depths now ready to live with greater emotional mastery and spiritual grace?

Nov 20: Uranus in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces

The Innovator and the Dreamer meet again—the second step in a two-year initiation (2025 – 2027). The first sextile in late August sparked ideas in airy-fiery realms of inspiration. Now both planets, retrograde and grounded in Earth and Water, invite integration: How do vision and matter, soul and body, imagination and livelihood, join forces?

This is the deep-tide review before the next ignition. Reweave imagination and embodiment so the dream can hold real form.

Reflection question: Where do my material realities and soul longings need to realign to support the world I’m dreaming into being?

This week pulses with strong Mars energy—action, will, courage, and the drive to live from truth. Mars connects with several outer planets, activating an alchemical dance between personal intention and larger evolutionary forces. The Taurus Full Moon and Uranus’ re-entry into Taurus turn your attention to what stability and security really mean in these times of change. Courage now looks like grounded authenticity.

Monday, November 3: Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces

Your actions align with inspiration and compassion. Intuition and imagination help you sense what’s ready to move from the invisible into form. Trust your instincts and allow mystery to inform your choices.

Tuesday, November 4: Mars enters Sagittarius and opposes Uranus in Gemini

Energy surges toward exploration and truth-telling. You may feel restless or impatient with restrictions. Sudden revelations could shake loose old patterns. Channel the fire into liberated, creative action instead of rebellion for its own sake. 

Wednesday, November 5: Full Moon at 13° Taurus at 5:19 am Pacific

Illumination rises around embodiment, resources, and self-worth. What grounds you in a changing world? What values sustain your aliveness? Release attachment to false security and return to the wisdom of the body.

Thursday, November 6: Mars in Sagittarius sextiles Pluto in Aquarius; Venus enters Scorpio

Focused action supports deep transformation. You can move mountains when your intent aligns with soul purpose. As Venus dives into Scorpio, relationships and finances invite depth and truth. Surface appearances no longer satisfy.

Friday, November 7: Uranus re-enters Taurus; Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius

A potent threshold day. Uranus’ return to Taurus (where it first entered in 2018) reawakens the long cycle of revolutionizing your relationship with the Earth, body, and material stability. Venus squaring Pluto stirs relational intensity and evolutionary growth through tension.

Sunday, November 9: Mercury turns retrograde at 7° Sagittarius (until Nov. 29)

Mercury begins its retrograde journey from Sagittarius back into Scorpio later in the month—an invitation to review beliefs, messages, and inner truth. The first part of this cycle (in Sagittarius) helps you reexamine the stories you’ve been telling yourself about purpose, meaning, and direction. As Mercury retraces its steps into Scorpio, the focus deepens—what hidden emotions, fears, or power dynamics shape those stories?

This retrograde offers a potent opportunity to slow down and align thought with soul. Old certainties can soften into wisdom when you let curiosity lead the way. Let your intuition and dreams reveal what the rational mind has overlooked.

Reflection Questions for the Week:

• Where is courage asking you to act with integrity rather than urgency?
• How does your body reveal what’s truly valuable and sustainable?
• What beliefs about safety, freedom, or truth are being revolutionized as Uranus returns to Taurus?

This week’s astrology invites deep reflection and spiritual attunement as we cross into the sacred threshold of Samhain—the ancient Celtic festival honoring the ancestors and the unseen realms. The veils are thin now. It’s a time to listen between the worlds, to commune with the Mystery, and to release what must die so the new can be born.

With Mars and Mercury both journeying through Scorpio, the cosmos calls you to courageously meet transformation. Water trines weave through the week, helping you trust the flow of emotion, intuition, and soul remembrance.

Monday, Oct 27 – Mars (Warrior/ess) in Scorpio trines Jupiter (Teacher) in Cancer

This harmonious alignment activates emotional courage and purposeful passion. The Scorpio–Cancer flow empowers you to take action rooted in empathy rather than reactivity. There’s strength in sensitivity now—an invitation to stand for what truly nurtures and protects life.
Reflection Question: Where can you act from fierce compassion rather than defensive control?

Wednesday, Oct 29 – Mercury (Storyteller) in Scorpio trines Neptune (Mystic) in Pisces; Mercury enters Sagittarius; Mars (Warrior/ess)) in Scorpio trines Saturn (Responsible One) in Pisces

A triple activation of intuition, imagination, and integrity. Early in the day, Mercury’s trine to Neptune opens psychic and poetic channels—messages may come through dreams, synchronicities, or ancestors.

When Mercury enters Sagittarius, the mind seeks to weave meaning from what has been uncovered in Scorpio’s depths.

Mars trining Saturn brings form to the mystical, offering the discipline to ground insight into commitment and steady action.
Reflection Question: What truth or vision wants to guide your next act of courage?

Saturday, Nov 1 – Venus (Relational One) in Libra opposes Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Aries and squares Jupiter (Teacher) in Cancer

The heart becomes the alchemical crucible. Venus opposing Chiron illuminates old wounds in love and belonging, while her square to Jupiter expands what’s been repressed—sometimes dramatically. Yet this tension opens a doorway to deeper compassion and mutual understanding.
Reflection Question: What relationship pattern is asking for healing through honesty and love?

Seasonal Portal: Samhain & Día de los Muertos (Oct 31–Nov 1)

Samhain marks the cross-quarter point between the Autumn Equinox and the coming Winter Solstice. It is the time of descent—when the veils between seen and unseen thin and ancestors draw near. Ancient traditions teach that the seeds of new life are dreamed in the dark. You may feel called to light candles, offer prayers, or speak the names of your beloved dead. The practice is simple yet profound: remember, release, and renew.
Reflection Question: What wisdom from your ancestors or invisible allies is ready to be reclaimed within you?

Podcast poem: “Remember” by Joy Harjo

Closing Blessing:

As the veils thin, may you walk gently between worlds—
Listening to what whispers in the dark,
Honoring what has ended,
And trusting the unseen hands guiding your becoming.

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?

Mon. Oct. 13: 

1) Pluto (The Transformer) turns Direct in Aquarius

There's a shift from inner shadow excavation to outer empowerment. In Aquarius, the Transformer reanimates collective renewal — systems, technologies, and communities are being reborn. You may feel the tectonic plates of your psyche moving: what inner underworld work have you done since May that now wants to express in service of the greater good?

Reflection Question:
What truth about your power or your purpose is now ready to move from hidden depth into active expression?

2) Venus (The Relational One) enters Libra

Time to reimagine relationships not as compromise but as creative co-weaving. It’s a cycle for listening with your whole being, for recalibrating the harmony between giving and receiving.

Reflection Question:
Where can you restore balance or beauty in how you meet the “other,” whether that’s a person, project, or part of yourself?

3) Venus opposes Neptune (The Dreamer)

The Dreamer stirs visions of unconditional love and spiritual union, yet the Relational One seeks clarity and integrity. Watch for projections or disillusionment that can dissolve boundaries — or open portals to transcendent compassion.

Reflection Question:
How can you stay heart-open without losing the clarity of your own truth?

Tuesday, October 14: Venus trines Uranus (The Awakener) in Gemini and Pluto (The Transformer) in Aquarius

Venus meets two agents of radical renewal, sparking relational breakthroughs, creative reinvention, and fresh freedom in connection. Something once stagnant can shift quickly now if you allow love to evolve beyond the familiar script.

Reflection Question:
What new pattern of relating or creating is ready to liberate you from an outdated way of connecting?

Thurs. Oct. 16: Sun (The Heroic Self) in Libra squares Jupiter (The Teacher) in Cancer

The Sun’s light on partnership and fairness rubs against Jupiter’s instinct to nurture and protect in Cancer. This tension can amplify generosity or inflate expectations — both reveal where growth demands a rebalancing of confidence and care.

Reflection Question:
Where might over-giving or over-controlling be blocking true mutual growth?

Fri. Oct. 17: Sun (The Heroic Self) in Libra opposes Chiron (The Wounded Healer) in Aries

Relationships mirror old wounds of independence and belonging. We explore how our desire for harmony often hides ancient fears of rejection or domination. Healing happens when we can hold both self-assertion and empathy as sacred.

Reflection Question: What old relational wound is asking for compassionate witnessing rather than defense or withdrawal?

Sun., Oct. 19: Mercury (The Storyteller) conjunct Mars (The Warrior) in Scorpio

Words pierce to the truth. This potent conjunction intensifies communication — it’s surgical, passionate, and potentially confrontational. When wielded consciously, this energy cuts through illusion and fuels courageous conversations that catalyze transformation.

Reflection Question:
What truth needs to be spoken or written from the depth of your courage, not the edge of your anger?

This week brings powerful turning points. A fiery Full Moon in Aries spotlights the dance between self-assertion and partnership, while Mercury’s entry into Scorpio begins a season of deeper truth-telling that will echo into November’s retrograde. The Mercury–Pluto square midweek demands honest words that can catalyze transformation, and the Venus–Saturn opposition challenges us to bring discernment and commitment into love, money, and values. As we move through these passages, we prepare for next week’s potent shift—Pluto turning direct in Aquarius, reigniting collective transformation.

Monday, October 6 – Full Moon in Aries at 14°

The Instinctive Self (Moon) shines in fiery Aries, illuminating your desires for autonomy, vitality, and courage. Opposite the Relational Self (Sun) in Libra, this lunation calls you to balance self-assertion with partnership. What wants to be initiated? What needs to be released in your relationships or patterns of self-abandonment?

Reflection: Where do I need to step forward with courage without cutting myself off from connection?

Monday, October 6 – Mercury enters Scorpio

The Storyteller (Mercury) dives into the depths of Scorpio’s Realm of Transformation. Words, perceptions, and thoughts become sharper, more probing. This transit foreshadows Mercury’s retrograde in November when it returns here to excavate deeper truths. Be alert to whispers of what’s hidden beneath the surface—what you notice now will become important later.

Reflection: What hidden story or truth is beginning to stir in me that will require deeper excavation later this season?

Tuesday, October 7 – Mercury in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius

The Storyteller (Mercury) in the realm of intensity locks horns with the Transformer (Pluto) in visionary Aquarius. Expect confrontations with uncomfortable truths, power dynamics in communication, or a need to name what’s been unspeakable. Transformation begins with words spoken honestly and directly.

Reflection: Where do I need to risk speaking truth to shift a stagnant or controlling pattern?

Saturday, October 11 – Venus in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces

The Relational One (Venus) in discerning Virgo stands across from the Responsible One (Saturn) in dreamy Pisces. This aspect challenges you to bring integrity and discernment into your relationships, finances, and creative projects. Saturn tests Venus—are you discerning or critical, committed or avoiding? The tension invites you to clarify what really matters.

Reflection: What relationship or value requires both discernment and commitment right now?

Looking Ahead to the Next Week

On Monday, October 13, the Transformer (Pluto) turns direct at 1° Aquarius after being retrograde since early May. This shift intensifies the collective push into Aquarian transformation: new systems, collective re-imaginings, and innovative structures are beginning to move forward. Expect themes of power and collective re-invention to reemerge.

This week’s cycles invite you to find your voice in the tension between self and other, and to alchemize old wounds of belonging into courageous self-expression under the light of the Full Moon.

Wednesday, October 1 – Mercury in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer

The Storyteller (Mercury) in Libra, sign of balance and relational harmony, encounters tension with the Teacher (Jupiter) in Cancer, the sign of belonging, lineage, and emotional roots. This square can amplify conversations about fairness, truth, and belonging—sometimes exaggerating perspectives or inflating the desire to be “right.” There’s an invitation to expand your vision while also listening carefully to others’ truths, especially when your own need for belonging gets stirred. Miscommunication may highlight old emotional patterns that are ready to grow into greater wisdom.

 Reflection Question: Where are my words or thoughts asking for expansion beyond old family or belonging stories, and how can I hold space for multiple truths without losing my own voice?

Friday, October 3 – Mercury in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries

Here the Storyteller (Mercury) in Libra directly faces the Wounded Healer (Chiron) in Aries. This can spotlight core wounds around self-expression—feeling unheard, unseen, or dismissed—and how these wounds play out in relationships. Conversations may carry a sharp edge, not because they are wrong, but because they touch a tender place of vulnerability. The medicine is in noticing how old wounds of self-assertion or self-worth shape current dialogues, and how to bring compassion and balance into the exchange. Healing can come by learning to speak your truth gently, without abandoning yourself.

Reflection Question: What tender wound in me is asking for compassionate communication, and how can I honor both my voice and the voices of others in this dialogue?

Looking Ahead to Next Week– Full Moon at 14° Aries (Oct 6)

The week builds toward a powerful Full Moon in Aries on Monday, Oct 6. This lunation illuminates the central polarity of the week: Libra’s call for harmony and connection versus Aries’ call for courage and authentic selfhood. The Moon in Aries shines on your need for bold self-expression, while the Libra Sun reminds you of the beauty of reciprocity and balance in relationship. Expect heightened emotions and the potential for breakthroughs—especially where old wounds around speaking up, being heard, or claiming your space in relationships are ready to shift.

This upcoming Full Moon acts as the alchemical climax of the week: all the Mercury conversations with Jupiter and Chiron prepare the ground for a liberating moment of truth under this Aries–Libra illumination.

Reflection Question: What truth of my own selfhood is ready to be spoken and witnessed under the light of the Full Moon?

This is a threshold week—Autumn Equinox initiates a new season of balance, while Mars dives into Scorpio and squares Pluto, calling us into deep transformation. The Sun’s opposition to Neptune brings dreams and confusions to the surface, but also opens portals of vision. This week asks: how do you align yourself at the edge of change—with clarity, courage, and creative power?

Monday, Sept 22: 

Sun enters Libra (Autumn Equinox)

• The Equinox turns the wheel—day and night balance. Libra season begins, inviting you to recalibrate your relationships, your sense of justice, and your commitment to harmony. Equinox is always a time of threshold: harvesting what has ripened, releasing what is done.
•  Reflection: Where in your life are you ready to rebalance so that both light and shadow are honored?

Mars enters Scorpio (6 weeks)

• Mars, archetype of the Warrior and Protector, moves into Scorpio. For the next six weeks, energy intensifies. This is a season of penetrating insight, fierce will, and facing what’s hidden. Mars in Scorpio fuels both obsession and liberation—it asks you to confront power dynamics, shadow desires, and your capacity for transformation.
•  Reflection: What hidden passion or fear is ready to be faced with courage and clarity?

Tuesday, Sept 23: Sun in Libra opposes Neptune in Aries (also trines Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius)
The Sun shines a light on Neptune’s mists. You may feel unclear, dreamy, or disoriented. But this is also a chance to connect vision and compassion. The Sun also links in harmony to Uranus and Pluto—reminding you that imagination can fuel real change. This is a potent triangle of vision, disruption, and transformation.

Reflection: How can you allow your imagination to serve both your personal clarity and the collective good?

Wednesday, Sept 24: Mars in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius
Mars meets Pluto in a fierce confrontation. This transit can stir up old power struggles, hidden resentments, or collective eruptions. Yet it is also an alchemical forge—where will, shadow, and transformation collide. You are invited to release toxic control and claim authentic empowerment.

Reflection: What outdated power pattern in your life is asking to be transmuted into new strength?

Looking Ahead-A few major cycles loom on the horizon:

• Oct 22: Neptune re-enters Pisces, returning us to the dissolving waters of collective dreamwork for the next two decades.
• Nov 7: Uranus re-enters Taurus, grounding disruption in the material world.
• Nov 9–28: Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius–Scorpio, a three-week journey of reviewing beliefs, truths, and hidden patterns.
• The Equinox rebalancing this week prepares you for these coming shifts.

These upcoming shifts will shape the final months of 2025—so notice the signs already stirring.
