10/25 Venus Retrograde Returns to Libra at 29°
2nd House | Worth, Money, Values and Receiving
Venus retrograde moving from Scorpio back into Libra shifts the energy from deep emotional investigation into a much more relational and values based space. Scorpio asked you to look beneath the surface at what you truly feel, what you have been holding onto, and where emotional attachments may have influenced your choices. Now Venus returns to Libra, bringing the focus back to balance, fairness, reciprocity and what actually feels valuable to you.
Because Libra rules your 2nd house, this puts a spotlight on money, self worth, personal values and your relationship with receiving. You may find yourself reconsidering financial decisions, purchases, agreements or situations where you have been giving more than you are receiving. This is less about proving your value and more about recognizing it. Venus retrograde can bring an old value, desire or financial question back around so you can see it with fresh eyes.
At 29°, Venus is at the final degree of Libra, which can make this feel like a cosmic review before something is ready to change. You are being asked to get honest about what is sustainable, what is reciprocal and what no longer reflects who you are becoming. Before you move forward, take a moment to ask whether your choices are coming from genuine value or from fear, obligation or the need to keep the peace.
5 Things to Watch For
Overgiving in order to maintain harmony
Spending money to soothe emotions or prove your worth
Saying yes when your values are actually saying no
Revisiting old relationship or financial patterns without changing the pattern
Looking outside yourself for confirmation of your value
5 Ways to Work With This Energy
Revisit your budget and notice what truly deserves your money and energy
Practice receiving without immediately feeling the need to give something back
Reevaluate an agreement or commitment that no longer feels balanced
Ask yourself what you value now, not what you valued in the past
Choose reciprocity over keeping the peace
10/26 Taurus Full Moon at 3°
9th House | Beliefs, Perspective, Truth and Expansion
This Taurus Full Moon illuminates your 9th house, bringing attention to your beliefs, your perspective, your relationship with truth and the bigger picture you are creating for your life. Full Moons tend to reveal what has been building beneath the surface, and Taurus wants you to slow down enough to recognize what feels solid, trustworthy and real. This is about discovering what you actually believe rather than automatically carrying beliefs that once made sense.
The Sun in Scorpio sits across from the Full Moon and activates your 3rd house of communication, thoughts and information. Your natal Moon at 5° Scorpio is within 2° of the Sun, making this Full Moon especially personal emotionally. There can be a strong awareness of how your thoughts, conversations and emotional responses are influencing the bigger story you are telling yourself. Something you have been thinking about may suddenly reveal a deeper emotional truth.
The Sun is also squaring Pluto in Aquarius, bringing your 3rd house into tension with your 6th house of work, routines, responsibilities and daily life. This can expose where your mental patterns are affecting your energy, your schedule or the way you move through your everyday life. You may realize that an old way of thinking is no longer compatible with the life you are trying to create.
The ruler of this Full Moon is Venus, and Venus is retrograde in Libra in your 2nd house. That brings self worth, money and personal values into the conversation. What you believe about yourself can influence what you allow yourself to receive. This Full Moon may show you where your beliefs about security, success or worth need to catch up with the person you are becoming.
This is not about forcing yourself to have all the answers. Taurus wants you grounded, present and connected to what feels true in your body. Let this Full Moon show you what has become too small, too complicated or too disconnected from your values. You do not need to chase the next chapter. You need to recognize what is already becoming clear.
5 Release Statements
I release the belief that I have to know everything before I can move forward.
I release thoughts and stories that keep me disconnected from my own value.
I release the need to prove that my choices are valid to everyone else.
I release old beliefs about money, success and security that no longer fit who I am.
I release the need to control the outcome and allow clarity to arrive in its own time.
Taurus Full Moon Ritual
9th House Truth, Beliefs and a New Perspective
This Taurus Full Moon is illuminating your 9th house, so this ritual is about releasing beliefs, stories and perspectives that have become too small for the person you are becoming.
The Full Moon is also pulling energy into your 3rd house of thoughts, communication and emotional processing, your 2nd house of self worth and values through Venus retrograde, and your 6th house of daily life, work and routines through the Sun’s square to Pluto.
This is not a manifestation ritual.
This is a release, surrender and clarity ritual.
Let the universe do its thing.
What You’ll Need
One white candle
One green candle
A piece of paper and pen
A fireproof bowl if you plan to burn your paper
A crystal such as Green Aventurine, Smoky Quartz or Moonstone
A glass of water
A quiet space where you can be alone
Step 1: Create Your Sacred Space
Place the white candle in front of you and the green candle beside it.
Place your crystal between the candles and put the glass of water nearby.
Take a few deep breaths.
Put both feet firmly on the ground.
Say:
“I am grounded in this moment. I am open to truth. I am willing to release what no longer belongs in the next chapter of my life.”
Take a moment to feel your body settle.
Step 2: Connect With Your 9th House
The Taurus Full Moon is illuminating your 9th house of beliefs, truth, perspective, spirituality, learning and expansion.
Close your eyes and ask yourself:
What do I believe about myself now?
Then ask:
Is that belief actually mine?
And finally:
Does this belief support the life I am becoming?
You do not need to judge your answers.
Simply notice.
Sometimes a belief can be true for one chapter of your life and completely wrong for the next.
Step 3: Look at Your 3rd House
The Sun in Scorpio is illuminating your 3rd house of thoughts, communication and information, bringing emotional depth to the beliefs you are examining.
Your natal Moon at 5° Scorpio is close to the Sun, so this can make the Full Moon especially personal and emotional.
Take your paper and write:
“The thoughts I am ready to stop carrying are...”
Then write freely.
Maybe it is an old conversation you keep replaying.
Maybe it is something someone said about you.
Maybe it is an assumption you have made about your future.
Maybe it is a story you have repeated so many times that it started to feel like fact.
Get it all out.
Step 4: Move Into Your 2nd House
Venus, ruler of this Taurus Full Moon, is retrograde in Libra in your 2nd house of self worth, money, values and receiving.
Place your hand over your heart and ask:
Where have I confused my worth with what I accomplish?
Where have I confused security with control?
Where am I giving more than I am receiving?
What do I actually value now?
Write down anything that comes up.
Then write:
“I release the need to prove my value.”
Take a deep breath.
You do not have to earn your worth.
Step 5: Look at Your 6th House
The Sun is squaring Pluto in your 6th house of work, routines, responsibilities and daily life.
Ask yourself:
Where has my daily life become heavier than it needs to be?
What routine drains me?
What responsibility am I carrying because I believe I have to?
Where am I trying to control something that needs to change?
Write down whatever comes up.
This is not about throwing your entire life into chaos.
It is about noticing where your everyday life no longer supports the person you are becoming.
Step 6: Write Your Release Statements
Now write these five statements on your paper:
I release beliefs that keep me smaller than I truly am.
I release the need to prove my worth through achievement or productivity.
I release old stories that I continue to repeat even though they no longer feel true.
I release routines, responsibilities and expectations that drain my energy.
I release the need to control the future before I am ready to live it.
Add anything personal that came up during the ritual.
Step 7: Burn or Tear the Paper
Safely burn the paper in your fireproof bowl, or tear it into small pieces.
As you release the paper, say:
“I honor what these beliefs taught me. I release what I no longer need. I am not required to carry the past into my future.”
Take a deep breath.
Then say:
“I surrender what I cannot control. I trust what is being revealed.”
Let that be enough.
Step 8: Ground Into Taurus
Hold your crystal in both hands.
Feel your feet against the floor.
Notice your breathing.
Notice the room around you.
Taurus reminds you that you do not have to figure everything out tonight.
Ask yourself:
What feels true in my body?
What feels peaceful?
What feels sustainable?
What feels like me?
You are looking for what feels steady, not what feels urgent.
Step 9: Drink the Water
Pick up your glass of water.
Before drinking, say:
“I choose what nourishes me. I choose what supports me. I choose what is aligned with my values.”
Take several slow sips.
Imagine yourself releasing the mental noise and returning to your own center.
Step 10: Sit in Silence
Now do nothing.
No manifesting.
No figuring out the next five steps.
No forcing an answer.
Sit quietly for five minutes.
Let your mind wander.
Let your emotions move.
Let your intuition speak.
This is the part where you allow the Full Moon to illuminate what you may not have been ready to see before.
Step 11: Close With This Blessing
Place your crystal over your heart and say:
“I trust the truth that is unfolding within me.
I trust my own perspective.
I trust my worth.
I release beliefs that no longer belong to me.
I release the need to control every detail of my future.
I allow my daily life to become more supportive of who I am becoming.
I choose what is steady.
I choose what is nourishing.
I choose what is true.
I surrender the rest.”
Blow out your candles.
Take one final deep breath.
And remember:
You do not have to know exactly where you are going to know that something is no longer where you belong.
Let the Full Moon show you the difference.
10/30 Mercury in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo at 17°
3rd House and 12th House | Communication, Hidden Frustration and Inner Fire
Mercury in Scorpio moves through your 3rd house of communication, thoughts and information while Mars in Leo activates your 12th house of the inner world, rest and what is happening behind the scenes. This square can create tension between what you are thinking or wanting to say and what has been building underneath the surface. You may suddenly become very aware of something you have been trying not to think about.
Scorpio Mercury wants the truth and does not have much patience for surface level answers. Mars in the 12th house can bring hidden frustration to the surface, especially if you have been swallowing your feelings, avoiding a conversation or pushing yourself when you actually need rest. The cosmic tap on the shoulder here is to notice what your irritation is trying to tell you before it turns into a reaction.
This is powerful energy for getting honest with yourself, but it is not necessarily the best energy for saying everything the moment you feel it. Give yourself space between the thought and the response. Journaling, walking, quiet time or simply stepping away from a heated conversation can help you separate genuine truth from temporary frustration.
5 Things to Watch For
Speaking from frustration rather than clarity
Replaying conversations in your head and creating stories around them
Hidden resentment suddenly coming out sideways
Feeling irritated when you actually need rest or solitude
Trying to force an answer before you have processed what you really feel
5 Ways to Work With This Energy
Write it down before you say it out loud
Give yourself permission to pause before responding
Notice what keeps irritating you because it may be pointing toward something deeper
Use movement or quiet time to discharge mental and emotional tension
Have the honest conversation once you know what you actually want to communicate
