Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
A tug-of-war exists in your interpersonal relationships because you've been trying to flex your bravado and greatness to an ex. The Full Moon on October 26 signifies a flirtation in the dynamic, which could lead to a temporary fling. The caveat is that you have to show them you're changing, or notice if they are making moves to advance their own personal situation before committing. You don’t want to repeat the reason you moved on. The remix may not be the playlist for this season.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
The day before Halloween will dampen your Halloween plans. You are caught up in the rumor mill, trying to figure out who said what to whom about you. The truth is, you may never gain a complete comprehension of the matter, which is why it’s important to ignore the gossip and surround yourself with positivity when Venus’ backward trek and the Nodes of Destiny, as well as Mercury retrograde and Pluto, trigger celestial turbulence in the sky the day before the annual ghoulish event happens.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
When you are invested, you're unstoppable in love, and there is nothing you can't achieve with those you care about. However, the week ahead is holding you back from diving deep and declaring your unwavering loyalty to your peer group on October 26 and 30. The veil is lifting, and you are seeing the zealot's immature tactics they use to keep people on their side, which is making you reflect on whether you want to be part of the vibe or stand on your own.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
A once magnetic connection could easily turn into a frustrating battle of wits that flows in ongoing circles, like a merry-go-round. You are involving your opponent in a game that might not end because of a simple lack of communication. Try to engage in a discussion about your internal sentiments on October 30, when Mercury retrograde and Pluto interact. You shouldn’t remain quiet, but it is proper to use kind wording and verbiage—even if you are hurting or in a state of aggravation.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
You may sense a wave of jealousy wash over you on October 30 thanks to the cosmic association of Venus retrograde and the Nodes of Destiny. This emotion might be hard to pin down, but it can make you envious of what others are achieving and their successes. Before you fall down that rabbit hole, appreciate the amazingness in your life. You have abundance and wealth that others do not. For all you know, they are envious of you because you’re attaining and manifesting their goals.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
You're really good at spinning things to boost your PR. Venus and the Nodes of Destiny’s fuse on October 30 will challenge your partnerships and alliances in ways you never imagined, forcing you to make arguments public on social media. Fortunately, you have the capacity and resources to use your charm to shape how people see the fallout. You are tempting fate, so be cautious in your approach and strategy until you make up. Try not to be too austere; keep the banter light.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
The Full Moon on the 26th intensifies your understanding of how the world at large works, but that doesn’t mean you should sit idly by and raise a white flag. Yes, there is no easy way out of matters—you must pay your dues and do the work. Also, no one will give you a hand up until you do it for yourself first. Making a difference starts with you, so think about how you wish to serve the universe for the better.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Paranoia may strike during the Full Moon on October 26 because you are unsure of your passions; as a result, you project and assume people are acting out of the ordinary when they may not be. In cases like this, step back and journal what you're observing to understand the underlying issues better. You can further suss out the energy and context of their bizarre behavior after you calm down with a centering breath. Be gentle and tender to yourself in the upcoming days, Gemini.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
Mercury and Venus's backstroke are causing you to debate the choices you've made in the recent weeks. Before you get too critical of yourself, remember you are doing the best you can, and you can always change your circumstances down the road. Nothing is set in stone, which means you have a third chance after these retrogrades to reassess and re-evaluate the situation. October 26’s Full Moon may send you into a temporary tizzy, so use this sage advice as your guide to avoid spinning out.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Rather than worrying about what everyone else is doing and who they're doing it with, focus on what matters most. Some people take up space in your life, but only a few have proven sincere. You may find that your family and close friends are the guiding force that brightens your spirit on October 26 and 30; however, the Full Moon on the 26th is the POV that leads you to realize this. Treat them with love and affection to build a stronger, evolving foundation.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
With the early decision deadline looming, you are waiting on pins and needles because the anticipation of applying and receiving your admission email/letter is stressing you out. Don't let it get to you during Halloween by focusing on a top-priority school. A classmate might make you question your pick and get in your head, when you should be kicking back and having fun. Even though you have a lot underneath the surface, you should not let the results or their manipulation get to you.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
As Venus’s regressive approach aligns with your Sun and the Nodes of Destiny on October 30, you are contemplating the next phase of your creative journey. Being an artist can be complex because you're always trying to elevate your projects to showcase your best work. Meditate on what speaks to you to find what you want to cultivate next. It is a process, so do not push yourself if nothing comes to mind and heart. Inspiration happens when you are ready to receive divine wisdom.
