Just a Little Spooky... The waxing Moon is in Scorpio, and a mixture of energy and caution prevails this week with Scorpio's ruling planet, Pluto, stationing on Thursday. Some folks will be on a short fuse, and no one will want to be told what to do. Do your own thing, and let others do theirs.
That's a Wrap... As we wane into the new moon, Luna is drifting through the last part of Virgo, void of course all day Thursday. It's an opportunity to wrap up projects and complete things that are already underway. Do a little housekeeping, organize, take inventory. It's not a time to initiate.
Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. . . [T]he idea came to him of what he called “the love of your fate.” Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, “This is what I need.” It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge.~Joseph Campbell

Venus and Mercury Retrograde - October-November 2026

Fat Tuesday on Friday? Venus retrogrades tomorrow, so tonight might be a last chance to indulge yourself. The 40 days of Lent mirror the 40 days of Venus retrograde, so it's time to step back from pleasures for a while. True, Venus is already deep in shadow, but at least you have a shot tonight. 😁
Volatile... Today comes with a warning label as Mercury, Mars, and Pluto form a tense t-square in the sky. If you have something that needs to be said or done, this could be your opportunity. But avoid impulsive decisions and try to avoid overdoing those things you are sure about. Drive carefully.

Activity... We may begin Wednesday a little bit slower than usual, with the waning Taurus Moon void until 1:26p Eastern Time. But by this evening things will pick up as Luna strides into Gemini and aspects Uranus, Pluto, and Neptune. Expect high energy as we round midweek and head for the weekend.
Gracious: The Libra Sun focuses on bringing harmony. However, the Sun opposite Neptune can get us to see too much (or little) in a person or situation (usually a person). The Sun forms a grand trine with Pluto and Uranus: great for creativity and play. Don't make plans, but let serendipity rule.
About to Fall... The Sun glides through the last part of Virgo (and Summer, here in the Northern Hemisphere), entering Libra at 8:05p Eastern Time. Libra is the sign of the Sun's "fall", because he begins to spend most of the day below the horizon, where he is majority of the day until March.

Just Getting Started: We begin the week with the waxing Scorpio beginning a new lunar cycle. Luna met with Venus and squared Pluto earlier today, setting the tone for the early part of this week. The intense Scorpio Moon is a good time for focused work, and especially for any kind of research.
Perchance to Dream: Mercury opposes Neptune today, opening up fantasy and creativity. It's not, however, very realistic. Play, but don't take things seriously, especially in interactions with others. Misunderstandings are possible, also letting information 'slip out'. Think: Mini Mercury retrograde.
Sleep Issues? Despite the low energy of the New Moon, we may have restless nights this week, as Uranus stations to retrograde. "Sleep chatter", where you feel yourself awake even when you're not, is common. So is a need for doing your own thing when awake. Give others space, take some for yourself.
Around the House: This weekend, the waning Moon in Cancer suggests that we'll feel for spending time at home or in familiar environs. Yet Cancer is a cardinal sign, and sitting still isn't necessarily part of the picture. Cook a good meal, connect with friends and family, and maybe do a few chores.
Grazing... The Taurus Moon is void until 7:47a Eastern Time on Thursday. Midweek should have a slow, easy feel, great for taking care of routine chores, and maybe making a nice dinner.
Activity: We begin the week with the Moon in Fiery Aries, a time for putting out some effort. Although waning, she still has plenty of juice from the full moon. Get busy! But do it soon: Luna goes void at 3:47p EDT, after which we'll still have plenty of energy, but best devoted to routine tasks.
Catching Some Zzzs... It can be hard, with the full moon/lunar eclipse square to Uranus. All 3 factors can make for a restless night. When Uranus is prominent in the sky, we tend to have 'night chatter' even when we're asleep. Plus folks sleep about 20 minutes less on average at the full moon. Nap?
The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces arrives August 28, square Uranus in Gemini. Like Psyche lighting the lamp over Eros, something hidden comes into view—and once we see it clearly, the old story may be impossible to return to. stormcestavani.com/lunar-eclips... #astrology #LunarEclipse
Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: When Psyche Lights the Lamp

Outta Control... We may feel like we're moving towards the inevitable as we approach the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, square to Uranus. That's especially true with the Moon's long void time as she sails through the end of Aquarius (Luna is void roughly 6p EDT Wed to 3p Thu). Time to watch more than act.
Early Halloween? A slightly goth vibe prevails as we get to the first quarter Scorpio Moon at midweek - with the Sun approaching the South Node. The cosmic weather suggests we may make hard decisions and implement them. Indeed, it is a time for action that leads to changes, big and small.
Yawn... The Moon is void from 3:24p EDT on the Thursday 13th until 10:20a on the 15th. Devote the end of the work week to routine tasks. It's not time to initiate. It's very good for napping, and later, sleep. It's wonderful for practicing a skill. Meditation gets a boost from the void vibe, too.

"It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms- all of them- may remain intact. And it is then that writing becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage." ~Rod Serling
