The themes this week are…
1. Intense
2. Passionate
3. Transformation
The Astrology Forecast for the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio offers a powerful release and transformation to your most intimate relationships. The transformation continues this week, as the Sun transits into the deepest, darkest, most passionate Sign, Scorpio, joining Mercury, the planet of communication, and Mars, the planet of action, and ruler of Scorpio. Delve into the stickiest areas of your life and embrace the change. Along the way check in with your energy through your interactions.
Are you feeling drained?
Or, are you feeling lifted?
If you are feeling drained, you are being given insight into where the transformation must occur. Be brave in moving forward with some potentially uncomfortable moves. Uncomfortable, because these moves may shift something that has long been stable, but by pushing through the discomfort of this move you will actually open yourself up to something that feels more energetically supportive, rather than draining.
If you are curious how these, or any other transits are affecting you directly, or if you would like to learn the purpose of your Soul, I encourage you to reach out to me for a reading.
Wishing you all the best through the week, as you ride the planetary waves!
MONDAY, October 23
The Sun in Scorpio
As the Sun moves into brooding, transformative Scorpio, here's guidance for embracing the energies.
This transit signals a time to bravely explore your innermost self, embracing with courage whatever arises.
Emotional intensity increases - dive below superficial levels into passion's depths.
Confront anxieties head-on through journaling, art and rituals of release.
Lay your shadow bare so its power dissipates in the light.
Examine control issues, lurking resentments, anything you avoid facing.
Temper relentless inquiry with self-compassion. Wholeness shines through integrating all within you.
Now is also an opportune period for research, investigation, and focusing your vitality on achievement.
Avoid scattering yourself too thin - concentrate energy on what matters most.
Eliminate toxic habits or affiliations dragging you down. Commit fully to purpose.
In relationships, prioritize intimacy through truly knowing someone, beyond roles and appearances. Set healthy boundaries to protect your most vulnerable places. Yet also open your heart to trust and interdependence with those who have earned it.
Ultimately, this Sun transit awakens rebirth through surrender and faith in your inner wisdom's unflinching gaze. Shed the old to let your authentic self-emerge.
When: October 23 - November 22
The Sun transits through Scorpio every year between October 22/23 - November 21/22, depending on what time and where you are on planet Earth.
This period could be challenging for those born with key astrological points or planets in Leo and Aquarius.
TUESDAY, October 24
The Sun in Scorpio Trine Saturn Retrograde in Pisces
The harmonizing trine between the Sun in intense Scorpio and Saturn retrograde in imaginative Pisces represents potent energy for focused achievement of meaningful goals.
Allow your passions to fuel productivity and perseverance now. With maturity and strategy, break through inner and outer barriers holding you back from your aims. Even if progress feels slow, keep showing up with dedication. Build stable foundations before expanding outwardly.
Consolidate your energy and resources around core priorities. What you devote yourself to now can have enduring impacts. Fortify emotional resilience through spiritual reflection and solitary time to reconnect with your soul’s purpose. Develop inner strength to navigate all circumstances. Yet avoid excessive rigidity or self-criticism - have compassion for your humanity.
Trust in your visions while grounding inspirations through pragmatic effort. Care for your physical health and pace yourself amidst intense focus to prevent burnout. By blending intuition, instinct and conscious effort, you can accomplish profound transformation under this sky. Let wisdom gained from experience inform you. With relentless heart and vision, manifest your highest potentials.
When: October 22 - 25
This period could be challenging for those born with key astrological points or planets in Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius.
WEDNESDAY, October 25
The Moon Conjunct Neptune Retrograde in Pisces
The conjunction of the Moon and nebulous Neptune retrograde in mystical Pisces stirs our emotions and imagination.
This transit awakens extra sensitive feelings, yearnings for fantasy and the allure of escapism. Your intuitive abilities are amplified, with psychic impressions flowing freely. Maintain perspective, however - do not take every passing thought or hunch as gospel truth now. Absorb imaginative insights, then test them against reason and time.
Avoid major decisions or commitments while under this dreamy influence. Focus spiritually through creative arts, prayer, or quiet time in nature rather than mind-altering substances. They only muddy the waters further. Be gentle with misunderstandings in relationships - perceptions blur under this fuzzy fog.
Avoid over-interpreting intentions based on fears or projections. Desire to merge fully with a lover, friend or cause runs high now. Maintain healthy boundaries, however. Caring for your own needs keeps connections reciprocal. Write down visions to manifest later through determination.
For now, simply float along with imagination’s currents. The creative void holds potential. By releasing expectations, you open yourself to worlds of mystical possibility.
When: 4pm - 10pm PDT
This period could be challenging for those born with key astrological points or planets in Gemini and Sagittarius
THURSDAY, October 26
The Sun In-Conjunct the Moon in Aries
The in-conjunction between the Sun in brooding Scorpio and the Moon in fiery Aries can generate inner tensions between our emotions and identity.
You may feel pulled between passionate desire for intimacy versus fierce independence.
Avoid extremes like surrendering your autonomy or severing emotional bonds in reaction. Find compromise. Make space for both heart connections and freedom.
In relationships, reassure your partner of caring while also voicing the need for personal time. If tempers flare, consciously detach from reactive ego. Center yourself in self-care practices then approach differences with empathy.
Another dynamic may be suppressed feelings bursting forth dramatically now. Channel catharsis into creative outlets, physical activity or solo processing.
Avoid dumping inner turmoil hastily onto others; it may overwhelm.
Requirements of daily obligations also vie with emotional needs now, stirring stress.
Practice acceptance where you cannot change circumstances. Do your best aligning work and heart. Pare down responsibilities if feasible.
Overall, balance intensity with patience and courage. Attend gently to emotional messages arising from your depths now. Their wisdom guides you surely through watery change. Breathing with awareness keeps you afloat.
When: 4am - 10am PDT
This period could be challenging for those born with key astrological points or planets in Cancer, Leo, Capricorn and Aquarius.
FRIDAY, October 27
The Moon Conjunct Chiron Retrograde in Aries
The conjunction of the Moon and Chiron retrograde in independent Aries illuminates emotional wounds for healing.
This transit unveils inner pain around self-esteem, childhood trauma, or issues of rejection that require compassionate attention. Emotions may feel raw or close to the surface now. Treat yourself gently, providing safe spaces for processing tender feelings as they arise.
However, avoid excess dwelling on stories of damage - identify limiting beliefs for release. You contain wholeness within.
Old issues with anger, independence or identity also get triggered, asking you to caretake the inner child still carrying those pains. Comfort and reassure your scared, hurting parts.
Affirm your right to stand confidently in who you are now. Release patterns still seek external validation at the expense of your uniqueness.
Forgive those who instilled unworthiness or shame. Their flaws are not yours to own. Healing happens as you courageously rewrite restrictive narratives and choose self-love over resignation.
You can create greater emotional freedom and power by compassionately addressing past wounds from an adult place of understanding. What was done to you does not define you, unless you allow it. You write the ending.
When: 3am - 9am PDT
This period could be challenging for those born with key astrological points or planets in Cancer and Capricorn.
SATURDAY, October 28
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus
The Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse marks a powerful culmination and release point regarding security, finances, embodiment and material stability.

Look closely at where your values and actions feel misaligned.
What changes will cultivate more joy and integrity in how you earn, budget and care for yourself and your space?

Share simple sensory pleasures together.
Luxuriate in the healing power of touch, intimacy and being fully present with those you trust.
Let go of past betrayals or patterns of financial dependence without resentment.

SUNDAY, October 29
The Moon Conjunct Jupiter in Taurus Opposite Mercury Conjunct Mars in Scorpio
The opposition between the Moon and Jupiter retrograde in steady Taurus versus Mercury conjunct Mars in intense Scorpio can generate tension between our security needs and passion for change.
You may feel emotionally torn between playing it safe versus taking bold risks.
Avoid extremes.
Remind yourself you can forge steady, step-by-step progress toward innovating and upgrading approaches without total revolution.
With Mercury's quickness tempered by Mars' directness in Scorpio, plan careful strategies for significant yet sustainable shifts. Communicate about changes judiciously.
Avoid forcefully demanding others match your accelerated pace.
Respect different needs and comfort levels.
Where you've resisted important transformations, let the security of Taurus Moon help you surrender resistance with patience, not fear.
Seek common ground when old and new ways of being clash.
Blend tradition with trailblazing inspiration through flexibility.
Practice present-moment mindfulness when tensions flare up, before reacting.
This energetic polarity asks you to balance security with brave evolution.
By listening to all sides of yourself, you can harness the dynamic power of stability and change to manifest positive breakthroughs over time.
