Description
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?
