Major themes for this week: 

• Re-think relationships and intellectual attachments: Mercury retrograde in Libra 

On October 27, at 9:33 PM ET, Mercury, the planet of thought and information, will backslide into Libra, where it will remain in its retrograde position until November 3.

When Mercury retrogrades through Libra, especially the final degrees, this is a review of your philosophy of relationships and how you engage with others based on your intellectual attachments surrounding love. 

For example, if you believe that love is hard, love will be hard. 

If you believe that love is easy and you deserve someone who believes loving you is easy, you will attract an easeful love and partner. 

It’s important when discussing this transit to remember that Mercury has already traveled through Libra this year while it was direct (September 5 - September 27), so reflect on what your thoughts were then. 

What lessons did you learn mentally about love and balance? 

What lessons did you learn about how your relationships affect your mental health? 

For some, this could bring breakdowns in partner-related communications.

With the Full Moon in Taurus on October 31, reinforcing value, self-worth, and needs vs. wants, Mercury retrograde in Libra reminds you of what you already promised yourself. 

Remember the self-care boundaries and intentions you’ve set for yourself. You’ve already done this work. 

• Enhance your aesthetics: Venus in Libra 

On October 27, at 9:41 PM ET, Venus, the planet of love, beauty, art, and money, will enter the seventh sign of the zodiac, beauty queen, Libra. 

As the sign most associated with romance and aesthetics, Venus in Libra encourages you to enhance

your sense of self-image and self-worth

Depending on the area of your chart that rules Libra, is the area of your life that you are ready to upgrade and enhance.

Aries: upgrade your relationships. 

Taurus: upgrade your workspace and health 

Gemini: upgrade your sense of creativity and self-expression

Cancer: upgrade your home 

Leo: upgrade your communications 

Virgo: upgrade your assets 

Libra: upgrade yourself 

Scorpio: upgrade your healing practices 

Sagittarius: upgrade your social beliefs and platforms 

Capricorn: upgrade your career 

Aquarius: upgrade your travel plans and education 

Pisces: upgrade your shared resources and emotional attachments 

One thing to note is that this transit can bring an influx of romantic feelings and cultural experiences. Libra enjoys socializing and hosting others as long as there is good food, vibes, and music. 

Relationships are flirtatious and lively. Couples will enjoy being social and getting reacquainted. Singles will have multiple options to choose.

However, this transit can also highlight that which is vain and fanatic.

Be mindful of ego and social approval.

Do what you want to do, not what you feel will make others accept you better.

Oh, and BEWARE of toxic loneliness. Do not cling to what is familiar.

UPGRADE. You deserve it. 

•  Time to ascend: Rare Blue Full Moon in Taurus 

On October 31, at 10:50 AM ET, the Rare Blue Full Moon will reach its peak at 08° Taurus. 

In astrology and numerology, the number eight is a power number; it reflects the laws of karma, material wealth, and self-mastery. 

With this Full Moon being the second Full Moon this month, the energies of this lunation cycle are enhanced.

With the Sun in Scorpio, this lunation purges, and how fitting that it occurs on the day that we celebrate all that is shadowed and dead. 

In astrology, Taurus represents your basic needs of survival, the primal foundation that you have built for yourself. 

Pay attention to your current needs, values, and self-worth. Do they reflect who you are now? Or do they reflect outdated limitations and wounds that you are subconsciously or consciously carrying from the past? 

Liberate yourself. Exonerate yourself. 

Break the chains and proclaim that you are free and clear of all past charges. 

Notice the sensation you feel when you wash your hands or bathe your body. Bask in the joy you feel when you are clean. 

Wash your feet. Wash your hair. 

Give yourself a manicure and pedicure. Trim your nails.

The shedding process you experience now is the preparation for the rebirth that will follow suit during the Scorpio New Moon on October 16. 

Sending love and peace to you. 

Weekly Messages for the Signs:

Read the weekly message for your sign in this order: 
1. Ascendant/Rising Sign= the overall focus for this week. 
2. Sun Sign = the areas you should focus on this week. 
3. Moon Sign = how you will emotionally process the energies for the week. 

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs, this week’s energies encourage you to see the glass as half full rather than half empty. Whatever leaves your life this week is making space for something new. But rather than wallowing in the perceived loneliness or abandonment, find joy in what is still here. Past work and relationships will come back to you in the form of monetary payment or emotional support this week. Accept it. Receive your harvest, air signs. You deserve the recognition and accolades for the previous work that was overlooked or undervalued. 

Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Earth Signs, this week’s energy encourages you to stay grounded in a current path or venture. If possible, you should look to others for additional funding or financial support. A professional opportunity or calling will expand this week. You’re signing off on a contract or job well done. Understand this is not the result of one event — this is the culmination of the consistency and hard work you’ve exemplified over the past three to six years. Celebrate yourself, earth signs. Just remember, you are playing the long-game. Move forward one win at a time.

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Fire Signs, this week’s energies electrify the boiling water bubbling within you, urging you to find healthy outlets and channels of alchemical self-expression. How can you transmute raw emotion into power? What levels of self-mastery are you currently studying? How are you preparing to ascend? Because for you fire signs, this week requires you to be the silent observer. For once, be a witness before you act. Keep something to yourself until you are ready to birth it. If you share this too soon (before you are confident), your energies will most likely be affected. Take some alone time this week to reflect and create peace. Block out the fear of missing out. Stay grounded. Life is not a race. 

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Water Signs, this week’s energy brings another round of waterworks, but it also invites an innovative and very random solution. For many of you, work has been the primary area of concern, and if you surrender, you could be in a brand new position or at least mindset by the end of the week. An apprentice, mentor, or old boss may swing back around for an opportunity, one that is more in line with the flexible work schedule you want and needs. Just make sure that you keep your priorities at the forefront of your brain. Over the next two months, focus on strengthening your foundation. Set yourself up for a more free-flowing lifestyle next year.
