Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde are both about to end, and Venus is getting a helping hand from Mars on the way out. Add a New Moon in Scorpio with a sting in its tail, and this is your chance to put something right with someone you care about, or to decide you've had enough. In this episode Why Venus retrograde in Libra, one of her two home signs, has extra oomph this year, and what happens as she goes direct on November 13/14 Venus sextile Mars on November 10, and why this connection is so good for second chances in relationships of all kinds Mercury going direct at 5 degrees of Scorpio on Friday, November 13, and what to say before it does The New Moon in Scorpio on November 9, clashing with Jupiter while Jupiter revs up Mars Shadow work, therapy, and why feeling things deeply is a virtue A card reading from the Dark Moon Oracle: Torn Key takeaways Before this time next week, put one thing right with at least one person. If you weren't loving enough with someone, shower them with the love you should have showered them with earlier. Take back something you shouldn't have said, or say what you should have said a while ago, especially if it's to do with love or money. Do some shadow work at the New Moon. Look at where you've been angry, jealous or triggered, see if there's a pattern, and write a New Moon intention around it. Forgiveness doesn't have to mean saying it's okay. It can mean saying you've had enough and extracting yourself from the situation.

This week starts a little bumpy and finishes with one of the sweetest moments of the whole Venus retrograde cycle. We've just had an intense Full Moon in Taurus that squared Pluto, so we're now in the waning cycle, the time to let go. Halloween brings a scrappy Mercury Mars square, and then on November 4, Venus retrograde in Libra harmonises with lucky Jupiter, making it a beautiful night to kiss and make up, whether that's with an ex, a friend, your mum or your neighbour. In this episode Why Pluto is the planet of detox, and definitely not the green juice kind The Full Moon in Taurus square Pluto, and what it's stirring up, including feeling emotionally manipulated Mercury retrograde in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo on October 31, and why it's motor mouth weather The Moon's journey through Cancer, Leo and Virgo, plus the Last Quarter Moon in Leo Venus retrograde in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo on November 4, and why it's ideal for reconciliation The Sun meeting Mercury in Scorpio on November 5, and why it all comes down to communication Key takeaways This weekend, least said soonest mended. If you feel an argument brewing, put the brakes on. If someone is giving you a hard time, give them a wide berth or look for a win-win outcome. Use the waning Moon to let go of whatever's annoying you. November 4 is the night to shoot your shot with someone you've fallen out with. It's also a good time to ask for money you're owed. If a seed is planted now, it may come to fruition when Venus makes her third and final connection to Jupiter later in this retrograde cycle. Resources mentioned Where is Venus retrograde for you?

Venus is already retrograde, and this week Mercury goes retrograde too. What could possibly go wrong? Scorpio season begins, the Sun meets Venus to start a brand new 19-month Venus cycle, and the week builds to an intense Full Moon in Taurus that's clashing with Pluto. In this episode The Sun moving into Scorpio on October 23, and why this Scorpio season is extra powerful with Venus retrograde in the same sign The Sun meeting Venus on October 24: what the inferior conjunction is, why it's a reset point for love, money and values, and the myth of Inanna Mercury turning retrograde in Scorpio on October 24, so two planets are now backing up in the same sign Why Mercury retrograde has a bad reputation, what to avoid, and what it's actually good for (including Yasmin's own contract story) The Sun square Pluto on October 26, the toughest aspect of the week, and how to avoid a power struggle The Full Moon in Taurus on October 25/26: secrets, turnarounds, second chances, and why Uranus is offering a breakthrough Key takeaways On the night of October 24, journal on this question: What do I truly value now that I didn't value a year ago? Mercury retrograde isn't bad. It's a time to review, rethink, revise and revisit. Trouble mostly comes from trying to bulldoze forwards. Read the fine print on any contract at least five times, and think before you hit send on an emotional text. If you find yourself in a power struggle, look for a win-win. Pluto loves a win-win outcome. One question to sit with this week: What part of my life is asking for an honest rewrite now?

Last week was all about love. This week is asking you how committed you are. Venus is still retrograde in Scorpio, but now the heavyweights are joining in: Pluto ends its retrograde on October 16, the same day Mars trines Saturn, and the First Quarter Moon in Capricorn arrives on October 18. In this episode Pluto turning direct on October 16 at 3 degrees of Aquarius, and why a clear out is coming in one area of your life Why Pluto is a psychological planet, and what throwing out the dead wood looks like in real life Mars in Leo trine Saturn in Aries: the best astrological news of the week, bringing stamina, sticking power and courage with a plan Venus retrograde in Scorpio square Pluto on October 20: old jealousies, old power dynamics, old money wounds, and a second chance to get it right The First Quarter Moon in Capricorn and the tension between love and work A look ahead to next week, when Mercury goes retrograde in Scorpio Key takeaways Pluto going direct is a green light on the inner work you've been quietly doing all year. Now is when you start to have something to show for it. Pick one goal and give it a really consistent effort this week. That's how Mars and Saturn like it. If you've made a mistake in the not so distant past, this is a good week to own it. Ask yourself: Where am I giving my power away in relationships? Where am I trying to control someone? What am I clinging to that needs to go? At the Quarter Moon, whatever you want usually needs a balance of action and faith.

Love is getting complicated this week, and the stars can't hide it. Venus is retrograde in Scorpio, she squares Mars in Leo on October 10, and on the very same day we get the New Moon in Libra. Add the Sun in Libra sextile lucky Jupiter, and it's a week of mixed signals, second chances and a real invitation to balance the old and the new, in love and in money. In this episode Why Venus retrograde in Scorpio is love at its most intense, and why old feelings, old flames and old money matters are coming back Venus retrograde and self-worth: what are you really worth, and how have you done since the last Venus retrograde 18 months ago? Venus square Mars in Leo on October 10: desire, pride, and why nobody wants to be the first to back down The Sun in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo, the best news of the week The New Moon in Libra at 17 degrees: times, keywords and why some of your wishes might involve going back Manifesting: are you living in line with what you say you want to manifest? Your questions: what not to do under Venus retrograde, which signs are feeling it most, and the benefits of this rare cycle Key takeaways Before you get into an argument, ask yourself: is this about what happened, or about how it made me feel? Make your New Moon wishes right after the New Moon: LA 8:50am October 10, New York 11:50am October 10, London 4:50pm October 10, Sydney 2:50am October 11. Avoid massive appearance changes and luxury splurges under Venus retrograde. Going back to the hairdresser who did a great job is fine. Don't go back to an ex just because you're lonely. Go back if something has genuinely changed. Use this rare cycle for a self-worth audit and a money review.
