October 25 | Venus Retrograde Returns to Libra at 29°

Rebalancing Relationships, Values & Self Worth | 9th House

Venus retrograde moves out of Scorpio and back into Libra in your 9th house, shifting the focus from deep emotional excavation around career and purpose into questions about beliefs, perspective, truth, growth and the bigger picture. Scorpio asked you to look beneath the surface. Libra now asks, “Does this actually feel balanced and aligned with the life I want to live?”

Your natal Moon at 25° Libra is within 5° of Venus at 29° Libra, bringing your emotions directly into this review. Something you believe, something you have been learning or a perspective you have been carrying may suddenly feel different emotionally. You may realize that what once made sense to you no longer feels like your truth.

At 29°, Venus is at the very end of Libra, making this a powerful final review before moving forward. You may be revisiting an old belief, relationship dynamic, educational path or vision for your future. The invitation is not to force an answer, but to notice what brings you back into balance with yourself.

5 Things to Watch For

  1. Second guessing decisions you have already made

  2. Trying too hard to keep everyone happy

  3. Romanticizing the past

  4. Avoiding an uncomfortable truth to maintain peace

  5. Looking outside yourself for validation

5 Ways to Work With This Energy

  1. Revisit a belief that no longer feels true.

  2. Journal about what balance means to you now.

  3. Give yourself permission to change your perspective.

  4. Have an honest conversation about what you truly value.

  5. Choose what feels aligned rather than what simply looks good.

October 26 | Taurus Full Moon at 3°

Security, Self Worth & What Feels Like Home | 4th House

This Taurus Full Moon illuminates your 4th house of home, family, roots, emotional security and your private world. Full Moons bring things to completion and awareness, and Taurus wants you to pay attention to what genuinely makes you feel safe, grounded and supported.

Your Aquarius Ascendant at 3° is within 5° of the Full Moon, creating a direct connection between your sense of self and your emotional foundation. You may recognize that something about your home life, family patterns or inner sense of security needs to change because you are changing.

The Sun in Scorpio is moving through your 10th house, creating a tension between your public life and private life. You may be asking whether the life everyone sees from the outside actually supports the life you need behind closed doors. This is a powerful moment for recognizing where achievement has been prioritized over peace.

The Sun is also squaring Pluto in your 1st house, intensifying the transformation around identity and personal power. You may be ready to stop carrying an old role simply because it is familiar. Something about the way you define yourself may be changing, and that naturally changes what you need from your home, family and personal life.

Venus, the ruler of this Full Moon, is retrograde in your 9th house, bringing beliefs, perspective and old patterns into the conversation. You may be releasing an outdated belief about what security is supposed to look like. Perhaps security is not having everything figured out. Perhaps it is knowing that you can trust yourself when life changes.

The deeper message of this Full Moon is you are allowed to build a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks successful from the outside. Let this lunation show you where you are ready to create more peace, stability and emotional safety.

5 Release Statements

  1. I release the belief that I have to sacrifice my peace to be successful.

  2. I release old definitions of security that no longer fit who I am.

  3. I release the need to maintain an identity that no longer feels authentic.

  4. I release the belief that I have to control every change in my life.

  5. I release what keeps me tied to a version of home, family or success that I have outgrown.

Step by Step Taurus Full Moon Ritual

4th House Ritual for Home, Security & Emotional Release

You will need:

• A candle
• A bowl of water
• A piece of paper and pen
• Your favorite grounding crystal
• A small amount of salt
• A quiet place in your home

Step 1: Create Your Sacred Space

Sit somewhere in your home where you feel comfortable.

Light your candle.

Place the bowl of water beside you and add a small pinch of salt.

Take several slow breaths and feel your body settle.

Say:

“I am safe to release what no longer belongs in my life. I am safe to create something new.”

Step 2: Ground Into Your Body

Place both feet on the floor.

Notice the chair beneath you.

Notice your breath.

Notice the room around you.

Take a moment to appreciate the physical space that holds you.

This is a Taurus Full Moon. Slow down.

You don't have to rush this.

Step 3: Write What You Are Ready to Release

On your paper, write:

“I am ready to release...”

Then write whatever comes up.

Old family expectations.

Old definitions of success.

Fear around change.

Patterns that make you feel unsafe.

The need to hold everything together.

Anything that no longer feels like home within you.

Step 4: Separate Safety From Familiarity

Write this question:

“What have I been calling security simply because it is familiar?”

Let yourself answer honestly.

You might discover that something can be familiar without actually being supportive.

Step 5: Release the Paper

Because this is a Full Moon, this ritual is about release rather than manifestation.

You can safely tear the paper into small pieces and place them in the bowl of water.

As the paper softens, say:

“I no longer need to carry this forward.”

Let the water represent emotional release.

Step 6: Choose Your New Definition of Home

Place your hands over your heart.

Ask:

“What would make my life feel more peaceful?”

Then ask:

“What do I need in order to feel at home within myself?”

Sit quietly and listen.

You do not need to solve everything tonight.

Step 7: Close the Ritual

Thank your home.

Thank your body.

Thank the version of you that carried you through everything that brought you here.

Then say:

“I release what is complete. I choose peace. I choose stability. I choose a life that feels like home.”

Blow out your candle.

Pour the water down the drain or outside.

Take your time returning to your evening.

October 30 | Mercury in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo at 17°

Watch Your Words, Protect Your Peace & Choose Your Battles | 10th & 7th Houses

Mercury in your 10th house squares Mars in your 7th house, creating friction between communication, career and public matters and your one to one relationships. Words may carry more intensity than usual, and conversations can quickly move from honest to heated if emotions are already running high.

Your natal Pluto at 21° Libra is within 5° of Mars at 17° Leo, creating extra intensity around relationships, personal power and how you respond when you feel challenged. You may feel strongly about being heard or understood, but this energy asks you to recognize the difference between standing in your power and needing to win.

Your natal Venus at 19° Capricorn is within 5° of Mercury at 17° Scorpio, bringing your values and communication into the conversation. This can help you say what actually matters, but it can also make certain conversations feel very personal. Choose your words carefully, especially when discussing work, reputation or relationships.
