Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord

Venus retrograde returns to Libra on October 25, bringing opportunities for relationship healing, restored balance, conscious communication, and positive karmic developments through early December. As Venus slowly travels through 29 to 22 degrees of Libra, we are invited to reassess our relationships, recognize patterns of people-pleasing and overcompromising. A significant highlight of this Venus retrograde journey is an ongoing Mystic Rectangle involving Venus retrograde in Libra, Chiron retrograde in Aries, Eris in Aries, Jupiter in Leo, South Node in Leo, and the North Node in Aquarius, creating a rare configuration of spiritual alchemy, karmic resolution, and soul evolution. This alignment supports healing old relationship wounds, releasing comparison, jealousy, manipulation, and unconscious emotional patterns, while opening new pathways toward empowered connections, creative expression, and authentic belonging. Venus receives beneficial aspects from the North Node in Aquarius, Jupiter in Leo, and Mars in Leo throughout late October and November, potentially bringing meaningful partnerships, romantic developments, divine unions, renewed confidence, and exciting opportunities that align with our evolving soul frequencies. As Venus stations direct on November 13 at 22 deg Libra, and continues making transformative connections through November 28. We may experience significant turning points, long-awaited resolutions, and a deeper understanding of the relationships and experiences we are now ready to welcome. This Venus retrograde in Libra is ultimately a journey of reclaiming personal sovereignty, restoring fairness and reciprocity, and consciously choosing connections that honor who we have become. More to share in this episode.

This week's astrology brings powerful revelations, emotional breakthroughs, and transformative turning points as we close out Libra season and enter the deep waters of Scorpio. The Sun in Libra opposes Chiron retrograde in Aries at 28 degrees on October 21, highlighting personal healing, stronger self-awareness, and opportunities to respond to relationships from a more empowered version of yourself. On October 23, the Sun enters Scorpio and immediately conjuncts Venus retrograde at 0 degrees Scorpio, creating a significant Venus Star Point that marks the completion of a century-long cycle of feminine healing, shadow work, and patterns involving control, manipulation, self-worth, and emotional empowerment. Then Mercury stations retrograde at nearly 21 degrees Scorpio on October 24, inviting deeper introspection, conscious communication, and the uncovering of hidden truths that require time to emotionally process. Venus retrograde then reenters Libra, supporting greater objectivity, relationship clarity, and the ability to detach your self-worth from the actions of others. The Taurus Full Moon on October 26 at 2 degrees 46 minutes forms an intense fixed T-square with Pluto in Aquarius at 3 degrees, illuminating tangible realities around finances, investments, personal values, relationships, and what is no longer worth your time, money, or energy. On October 28, Venus retrograde in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries at 28 degrees, offering opportunities for meaningful repair, accountability, and healing where relationships are worth preserving. With both Mercury and Venus retrograde until November 13, this is a significant period of soul-level transformation, where uncomfortable truths can become powerful wisdom, outdated patterns can permanently end, and your intuition guides you toward greater self-love, personal sovereignty, and conscious choices for the future. So much happening as Scorpio season begins!

The final Mercury retrograde of 2026 travels through Scorpio from October 24 to November 13, taking us on a powerful journey into hidden truths, subconscious patterns, emotional revelations, and deeper soul wisdom. Mercury stations retrograde at 21° Scorpio at October 24 while squaring Jupiter in Leo and the Nodes of Fate in Aquarius and Leo, signaling significant turning points, heightened intuition, and important information that may challenge existing beliefs, desires, and attachments. With Venus also retrograde and re-entering Libra on October 25, relationships, partnerships, financial agreements, shared resources, trust, and power dynamics require greater discernment and reconsideration. Mercury retrograde squares Mars in Leo on October 30, potentially activating intense emotional reactions, while the Mercury cazimi at 12° Scorpio on November 4 can bring meaningful insights into conscious awareness. An extended Mercury square to Pluto in Aquarius at 3 degrees from approximately November 8 to 18 intensifies the potential for psychological breakthroughs, collective revelations, power struggles, and questions surrounding privacy, surveillance, technology, and hidden agendas. As both Mercury and Venus station direct on November 13, new clarity begins to emerge around what needs to change, heal, or be released permanently.

This week's astrology can bring renewed clarity around what we truly desire as we complete Libra season with a strong Plutonic influence. Thankfully on October 14 and 15, the Sun in Libra sextiles Jupiter in Leo at 21 and 22 degrees, supporting optimism, creative opportunities, and inspired forward movement, especially after the Libra New Moon last Saturday. Pluto stations direct at 3 degrees Aquarius on Oct 15, awakening profound realizations, intuitive insights, and greater personal empowerment that may activate more clairvoyance and claircognizant gifts that reveal what we need to see. On Oct 16, Mars in Leo trines Saturn retrograde in Aries at 10 degrees, providing stability and determination to move ahead with important decisions. Very productive energies this week! Then on October 19, Venus retrograde in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius at 3 degrees, intensifying themes of power, control, hidden truths, financial attachments, and the need to release what has run its course. The Sun in Libra opposes Chiron retrograde in Aries at 28 degrees on October 21, highlighting relationship healing, personal sovereignty, and the courage to honor our authentic needs. Acknowledging what you have healed will generate confidence, even amongst others who have a different perspective or opinion to offer. With Mercury preparing to station retrograde in Scorpio on October 24, we are encouraged to slow down, trust our intuition, and reconsider what truly matters. More to share in this week's episode.

Well hello Libra new moon! ♎🪷⚖️ It is exact on Saturday October 10th at 17 degrees in your chart, and offers an intentional balancing point within yourself to make clear conscious choices.

Libra energy is where we integrate masculine and feminine energies internally, and then objectively observe how those energies are showing up externally.

When you are aligned and deeply in tune with yourself, you feel a natural peace and harmony that travels into all areas of your life.

What is your intention for this new moon? ♎

This week invites us into a powerful exploration of relationships, self-awareness, and the courage to move forward as Venus retrograde in Scorpio continues to uncover deeper emotional truths. Libra season asks us to reconsider what healthy partnership looks like now in our lives, where we genuinely desire connection, collaboration, communication, and support, while also honoring the areas of life where greater independence is needed. On Oct 7, Mars in Leo sextiles Uranus retrograde in Gemini at 5 degrees brings fresh momentum, unexpected insights, and the confidence to break free from what has felt stuck. The October 10 Libra New Moon at 17 degrees opens a new chapter around conversations, choices, relationships, and co-creation. Yet with Venus retrograde in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo at 7 degrees on Oct 10 as well, we may also encounter tension between the part of ourselves that remembers past pain and the part that is ready to take a new risk. The deeper invitation is to recognize how much we have grown, and trust that we do not have to make future choices from old fears.

And with the untimely passing of my longtime friend, sister, and mentor Sass Jordan, our unreleased Rock and Roll Meets Spirit and Soul astrology house series will be shared on YouTube this weekend as an honoring of our friendship, creative partnership, and Sass’s lifelong love of astrology, spirituality, and personal growth.

The powerful fixed T-square energies unfolding throughout October 2026 are creating sustained evolutionary pressure across the early degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Venus retrograde and Mercury in Scorpio square Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius, revealing where old fears, attachments, relationship patterns, financial concerns, and unconscious emotional material are colliding with a growing desire to act, create, and move forward. With Pluto stationing direct on October 15, the month brings life-changing choices, permanent transformations, and the closing of chapters that no longer align with our authentic future. Although the fixed signs may initially resist change, this configuration asks us to recognize where familiarity has become limitation and where we are ready to choose a new form of stability. The Taurus Full Moon on October 26 creates another fixed T-square with the Sun in Scorpio and Pluto in Aquarius, illuminating what is no longer sustainable within our finances, possessions, commitments, values, and everyday lives. Ultimately, October invites us to loosen what has become too tightly held, trust our inner guidance, and rise beyond the illusion of being trapped into a more empowered, liberated, and self-directed future.

A powerful Venus retrograde begins at 8° of Scorpio on October 2nd, as she begins her initial descent into the underworld. ♏

Venus retrograde in Scorpio will stir up intense energies and emotions that have been residing under the surface, with the intention of ultimately purging you of what has been disempowering and fear-based. ✨

Her retrograde will be complex as she makes aspects to Chiron and Pluto, plus has her final Venus Star point in Scorpio at zero degrees on October 24th. 🌟

We enter October with powerful, emotionally charged energies that invite deeper truth, self-awareness, and transformation. Mercury enters Scorpio on Sept 30 for an extended journey, immediately activating a fixed T-square with Mars in Leo and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, bringing up deep conversation topics and uncomfortable revelations. Venus stations retrograde at 8 degrees Scorpio on October 3, intensifying themes around relationships, money, values, trust, power dynamics, hidden motivations, and unresolved emotional material. This is a time when what has been concealed may rise to the surface, asking us to trust our intuition, recognize what feels out of alignment, and resist forcing decisions before the full story has been revealed. Venus retrograde encourages us to review, reconsider, revalue, release, and reclaim our energy rather than rushing into new commitments. The Sun in Libra opposing Saturn retrograde in Aries at 11 degrees on Oct 4 tests the strength of our boundaries, standards, and relationships. We may clearly recognize which connections offer reciprocity, accountability, growth, and genuine respect, as well as which dynamics we have outgrown. At the same time, Mars in Leo moves through transformative aspects with Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus this week, awakening a courageous new expression of the divine masculine within us: the confident protector, creative leader, risk-taker, and heart-centered hero. Ultimately, this week's intense energies are asking us to descend into deeper layers of ourselves, release what no longer holds truth, and emerge with greater clarity, personal power, courage, and trust in the unknown journey ahead.

October 2026 brings intense, transformative astrology that asks us to confront what we have outgrown, recognize where fear or attachment has kept us stuck, and make empowered choices that support who we are becoming. Venus retrograde in Scorpio, followed by Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, reveals hidden motives, unresolved emotions, shadow patterns, and truths within relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and business partnerships. Yet an extended fixed T-square involving Venus and Mercury in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, and Pluto RX in Aquarius creates mounting pressure to change what can no longer remain the same. With Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius on October 15, Mars moving boldly through Leo, and Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron retrograde in Aries, we are being called to release identities or connections that no longer match our evolution. This energy may bring uncomfortable revelations, decisive endings, or encounters with jealousy, manipulation, resentment, and the unhealed feminine shadow. It can also strengthen relationships that are genuine, healthy, and aligned. Ultimately, October is a life-changing month of emotional transmutation and self-actualization, inviting us to move beyond old fears, honor what we now know, and courageously step into a more authentic, empowered version of ourselves.Soul Bliss Guided Meditations ~ Enjoy four guided meditations to support clearing your energy field with higher frequencies.
