10/25 | Venus Retrograde Returns to Libra at 29°

6th House Themes: Rebalancing Your Daily Life, Energy, Work and Relationships

Venus retrograde moves out of Scorpio and back into your 6th house of daily life, work, routines, health, and energy, shifting the focus from the deeper emotional examination of your relationships into the question of how your relationships and values actually fit into your everyday life. Scorpio asked you to look underneath the surface. Libra now asks, “Does this feel balanced?” You may become more aware of where you are giving too much, doing too much, or creating a daily life that does not leave enough room for you.

Because Venus is returning to the final degree of Libra, there is a strong sense of unfinished business. Something you thought you had already figured out may need another look. You may revisit a decision around work, routines, boundaries, or how much energy you give to other people. Your natal Mercury at 2° Capricorn, Mars at 24° Capricorn, Neptune at 28° Capricorn, and Venus at 29° Capricorn are all within 5° aspect to Venus at 29° Libra, making this especially connected to your values, motivation, communication, dreams, and sense of self worth.

This is not about going backward. Venus retrograde is giving you another opportunity to make a more aligned choice. You may realize that what once looked like balance was actually you doing all the compromising. Or perhaps you discover that something does not need to be abandoned at all, it simply needs to be approached differently. Libra asks you to find the middle ground without abandoning yourself to get there.

5 Things to Watch For

1. Saying yes simply because you do not want to disappoint someone.

2. Trying to create peace by ignoring your own needs.

3. Overcommitting your time and energy.

4. Revisiting an old decision without asking what has actually changed.

5. Confusing keeping the peace with creating true balance.

5 Ways to Work With This Energy

1. Reevaluate your daily schedule and remove one unnecessary obligation.

2. Notice where giving and receiving are out of balance.

3. Make your everyday environment more beautiful and supportive.

4. Practice saying, “Let me think about it,” before automatically agreeing.

5. Choose routines that support the person you are becoming.

10/26 | Taurus Full Moon at 3°

1st House Themes: Self Worth, Identity, Stability and Choosing Yourself

This Taurus Full Moon lands in your 1st house, putting the spotlight directly on you. Your body, your needs, your identity, your sense of security, and the way you show up in the world are all part of this Full Moon. Taurus wants you to slow down enough to recognize what actually feels safe, solid, valuable, and sustainable.

Your natal Moon at 6° Taurus is within 3° of the Full Moon, making this especially personal and emotional. You may feel something very clearly that you have been trying to rationalize. Your emotional needs are asking to be acknowledged rather than negotiated away. This is a beautiful opportunity to stop asking whether your needs are reasonable and start asking whether they are being honored.

The Sun in Scorpio sits across from the Full Moon in your 7th house of relationships, creating a powerful you versus relationship dynamic. The question becomes: Where am I maintaining connection at the expense of myself? This does not mean relationships are the problem. It means your relationship with yourself has to remain part of the equation.

The Sun is also squaring Pluto at 3° Aquarius in your 10th house, bringing your public direction, ambitions, and future into the conversation. Pluto at 3° Aquarius is within 2° of your natal MC at 5° Aquarius and 3° of your natal Uranus at 6° Aquarius, making this a significant moment around the life you are building and the freedom you need to build it authentically.

Venus, the ruler of this Taurus Full Moon, is retrograde in Libra in your 6th house, bringing the themes of daily life, work, routines, and balance into the release. This Full Moon is asking you to look at whether the life you live every day actually supports the person you say you value. Your body and your energy may know the answer before your mind does.

5 Release Statements

I release the need to abandon myself to keep relationships comfortable.

I release the belief that my needs are too much.

I release routines that continually drain my energy.

I release outdated definitions of success and security.

I release the need to prove my worth through what I accomplish or provide for others.

Step by Step Taurus Full Moon Ritual

1st House Release Ritual: Coming Back to Yourself

You will need:

• A white or green candle
• A piece of paper
• A pen
• Your favorite grounding crystal
• A fireproof bowl if you want to burn your release statements
• A glass of water

Step 1: Ground yourself

Sit somewhere comfortable with both feet on the floor.

Take several slow breaths.

Place one hand over your heart and one over your belly.

Say:

“I come back to myself. I come back to my body. I come back to what is true for me.”

Step 2: Light your candle

Light the candle and take a few moments to watch the flame.

Think about your life right now.

Not the life you think you should have.

The life you actually have.

Ask yourself:

Does this life feel good in my body?

Step 3: Write what you are ready to release

Write down anything you are ready to stop carrying.

You might begin with:

I release...

Then allow the words to come.

Write about relationships, expectations, obligations, routines, old identities, or anything that has made you feel like you have to work harder to prove your worth.

Step 4: Read your words aloud

Read everything you wrote.

Do not edit it.

Do not make it sound spiritual.

Tell the truth.

If you are angry, be angry.

If you are tired, say you are tired.

If you are done, say you are done.

Step 5: Burn the release

Place the paper in your fireproof bowl and safely burn it.

As the paper burns, say:

“I release what no longer belongs to me. I release what drains me. I release what asks me to become smaller. I choose myself without guilt.”

Let the paper become ash.

Step 6: Return to your body

Place both hands over your body.

Take several slow breaths.

Ask:

“What does my body need from me now?”

Do not ask what everyone else needs.

Just you.

Listen.

Step 7: Close the ritual

Place your crystal beside the candle.

Say:

“I trust my needs. I trust my body. I trust my worth. I trust myself to recognize what is no longer aligned.”

Blow out the candle.

Drink your water slowly.

Then do something grounding and pleasurable. Take a bath. Eat something nourishing. Go outside. Get cozy.

This Full Moon is not asking you to chase the next thing.

It is asking you to come home to yourself.

10/30 | Mercury in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo at 17°

7th and 4th House Themes: Relationship Conversations, Emotional Triggers and Speaking Your Truth

Mercury in your 7th house squares Mars in your 4th house, creating tension between what is happening in your relationships and what is happening emotionally beneath the surface. Conversations can become charged quickly, especially when something touches an old family pattern or a deeply personal need.

Mercury at 17° Scorpio is within 4° of your natal Chiron at 13° Scorpio, bringing tender relationship material into the conversation. You may find yourself recognizing why certain words hit harder than others or why a particular dynamic continues to push your buttons. The opportunity is to respond from the present rather than allowing an old story to take over.

Mars at 17° Leo is within 1° of an exact trine to your natal Sun at 18° Sagittarius and within 1° of an opposition to your natal Jupiter at 18° Aquarius. This gives you plenty of fire and confidence, but it can also make you feel very certain that your position is the correct one. Use the courage without turning it into a battle.

5 Things to Watch For

1. Saying something because you are angry rather than because it needs to be said.

2. Turning an emotional conversation into a competition.

3. Reacting to an old trigger as though it is happening for the first time.

4. Assuming someone understands what you need without telling them.

5. Letting confidence become stubbornness.

5 Ways to Work With This Energy

1. Pause before responding to something that pushes a button.

2. Say what you actually need instead of expecting someone to figure it out.

3. Write your thoughts down before having a difficult conversation.

4. Use your extra fire for movement, creativity, or physical activity.

5. Ask yourself, “Am I responding to what is happening now or to what this reminds me of?”
