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.
