We’re stepping away from Halloween season now, but the masks we wore may leave lingering questions: What truth did we hide behind the costume, and which truths escaped? This week will not let us ignore what’s changing. Raw emotion, unexpected shifts and subconscious revolution will test our ability to adapt.
Mars finishes its business in Scorpio by trining Neptune on Tuesday, activating our intuition. Then, Mars moves into Sagittarius to immediately oppose Uranus, putting in motion the energy needed to reach vital breakthroughs. Rebellion and risk-taking will be driving forces throughout the week.
The full moon in Taurus on Wednesday steadies the chaos just enough to show us what’s real. Taurus energy draws our attention to touch, taste, sensation and security. What do you physically need to feel safe in your own life, and how is physical comfort connected to spiritual desires?
Venus moves to Scorpio on Thursday, intensifying romance for the next several weeks. Our relationships will feel more vulnerable as we easily dig beneath the surface, as if we want to merge souls with one another. This isn’t pretty love — it’s honest love, shadows and all. On Saturday, Venus squares Pluto, turning emotional revelations into personal transformation. If you’re clinging to a dynamic out of fear, the universe is going to ask you why.
By Sunday, Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius, making us feel a bit disoriented. Expect plot twists, big conversations and changes to future plans. The truth doesn’t disappear, but this week it becomes more like a riddle. Things never really are as they seem when Mercury retrogrades, so use your curiosity as a survival tool. This retrograde will remind us that wisdom isn’t always linear, and sometimes the scenic detour teaches the most important lessons of all.
This week is messy and intense, but if we pay attention and follow our intuition, it may mark a significant turning point. The universe is teaching us not to run from the shake-ups, but instead, see which new paths are revealed.
Love,
A Gemini already missing Halloween

Aries (March 21 – April 19):
Your ruler Mars moves into Sagittarius to shake up travel, education and long-term plans, and a sudden change of itinerary may end up being the plot twist you needed. The full moon spotlights finances and self-worth, meaning something you’ve been waiting for financially could finally pay off. Mercury retrograde pushes you to revise your goals rather than abandon them, and the universe may be asking you to take a leap of faith soon. Are you ready?

Taurus (April 20 – May 20):
The Taurus full moon puts you in the spotlight, but not the version of you that plays safe. This week, you will easily identify with the version of yourself that knows exactly what and who you deserve. The coming period is about choosing yourself with no apologies. A relationship situation may intensify as deeper truths surface. Instead of smoothing things over, try saying the uncomfortable thing that matters. You’re allowed to want more, and you’re ready to receive it.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20):
You can’t keep pushing something under the rug, Gemini. The full moon illuminates what you’ve been avoiding, especially those pesky issues under the surface. Meanwhile, Mars lights a fire under relationships. Conversations that were once playful become defining. With Mercury retrograde approaching, choose clarity over cleverness. Speak plainly; growth starts the moment you stop performing.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22):
The full moon this week highlights friendships and community. Someone may show up for you in a way you didn’t realize you needed. Mars boosts your momentum in work and health, but don’t ignore the emotional signals your body sends. With Mercury retrograde looming, simplify your obligations. If it drains you more than it supports you, it doesn’t belong in your future.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22):
Your ambition is finally louder than your doubts this week. The Taurus full moon brings a milestone in your career or long-term goals — something you’ve quietly been building toward. But Mars wants you to remember joy in the process; creativity is not a distraction, it’s fuel. If something unexpected shakes your confidence, treat it like proof that you’re pushing into new territory. You’re not lost; you’re leveling up.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22):
Your worldview is shifting piece by piece, and this week, another puzzle piece clicks into place. A conversation or piece of news could change what you thought you knew. Mars moves energy into matters of the home; something on the domestic front needs decisive action. Mercury retrograde warns against perfectionism in decision-making. Progress made imperfectly still counts, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22):
This week pushes you to ask what lies beneath the surface. The Taurus full moon confronts shared resources and vulnerability, potentially bringing a moment of truth in finances or intimacy. Where you’ve been overly accommodating, you will feel the imbalance. Venus entering Scorpio helps you take yourself more seriously. You don’t need to prove your worth; you need to protect it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21):
It’s not just Scorpio season; it’s Scorpio transformation hour. The full moon lands directly across from you, asking you to choose honesty in relationships over comfort. Mars leaving your sign gives you a breath of relief, but Venus arriving brings intensity to matters of the heart. Love shouldn’t require self-abandonment. Over the coming weeks, the universe will ask you to choose the version of connection where you stay whole.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21):
Motivation, desire and momentum come back to you this week, Sagittarius. However, with Mars opposing Uranus, sudden changes could trigger old anxiety. Don’t view disruption as failure; view it as freedom. The full moon asks you to create better balance in your routines. Remember that joy and health are equally as important as work. Mercury stations retrograde later this week to teach you that rewriting your identity mid-story is a sign of growth.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19):
You’re rediscovering something that makes life worth living this week. The full moon activates romance and creativity to bring a moment of clarity or commitment, while Mars pushes you to face what you’ve tucked away emotionally. Venus will bless your friendships, and a connection you trust may become the anchor you didn’t realize you needed. Lean into these relationships and don’t be afraid of vulnerability.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18):
Something big shifts beneath the surface this week: perhaps a move, a boundary, a truth you can’t unhear or something of the like. As you rethink small moments from the past, the full moon brings closure or completion to a personal chapter. Mars energizes your future plans, but Mercury retrograde reminds you that those plans don’t have to be final; they just have to excite you. Prioritize environments and people that make you feel safe enough to grow.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20):
A message, decision or conversation may become a turning point this week, so listen closely to what others have to say. The full moon activates your communication abilities and your words hit harder, so choose them with intention. Mars amplifies career energy and drive, but in all the intensity, don’t forget why you wanted success in the first place. Remember that you are writing your own narrative, not repeating ones you have seen in the past. If something feels spiritually misaligned this week, step away.
