The week ahead has its ups and downs; but overall chill with a few tense moments. Mercury enters Scorpio hours before the Super Full Harvest Moon in Aries on October 6. Mercury in Scorpio pushes us to be intuitive. The Supermoon intensifies this sentiment, illuminating our emotions. Mercury squares Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on October 7, which can go one of two ways, depending on how we choose to assert our power. If we use it for good, we can deepen and strengthen relationships. If we do not, then it can lead to power struggles and arguments. Think about how you wish to proceed and whether or not the drama is worth it. Venus in Virgo harmonizes with Jupiter in Cancer on October 8, allowing us to expand our hearts and connect with those we love. The caveat is that we may feel insecure in our emotions on October 11, when Venus opposes Saturn retrograde in Pisces. This is just a moment in time, don't let it bring you down.

Practice a “Mirror of Intention” ritual to channel Mercury in Scorpio’s depth without falling into drama.

On the night of the Super Full Moon in Aries (October 6), stand before a mirror and whisper three truths you’ve been avoiding. Then, anoint the mirror’s edges with saltwater or Florida Water to seal your clarity. This simple act reclaims your power and keeps your words sharp! but sacred, through the Mercury-Pluto square.

Affirmation: “My intuition is my protection. My truth is my strength.”

Aries

Your happiness depends on how you look at everything. You are going through a significant phase of transformation that requires careful understanding of how you wish to proceed in future endeavors. Growth is possible if you’re open to it. Don’t shy away from evolving and maintaining a positive outlook.

Taurus

As a work project ends, your focus is now on your home life. Before rushing to take on a new job or opportunity, give yourself time to relax and revive your energy. You will get an exciting professional jumpstart soon. Try to use this week as a moment of meditation and peace.

Gemini

Relationships can be complicated, especially when neither party is willing to budge. The cosmic lesson from this Full Moon is to be more flexible and want to mend issues when they come up. Finding a balance that works for you both is essential at the moment.

Cancer

A financial situation is changing for you at the moment, and asking you to dig deeper (beyond materialism) for your self-worth. You have a lot to gain, but avoid compromising your values. It’s not in your nature to take on projects that don’t align with your core beliefs or sellout.

Leo

Your friends are a source of inspiration and support. However, sometimes you must clear out frenemies that don’t have your best interests at heart. This luminary will make you want to give more love to your ride or dies and curve those who haven’t proved their loyalty to you.

Virgo

Think about how you communicate with others. Are you actively listening to what others are saying? Having an open ear can help you make relationships better. As a result, you'll be clear by responding in an appropriate manner. Speak honestly and from the heart. Listen with compassion. Hear what people are saying.

Libra

Your desire for romance is strong. To attain the passionate relationship that you crave, get creative. Spice things up in your romantic life and partnership. Have fun and be present to explore your relationship. Let your imagination and heart guide you towards reclaiming your prowess, desires, and love.

Scorpio

Professional connections can support you at this time. You might feel more inclined to focus on what is happening behind the scenes, which can backfire and sabotage your career. Deal with matters head-on and be direct with colleagues to ensure you attain success and all of your goals.

Sagittarius

You are an all-loving spirit that avoids any form of conflict much of the time. This is a great week to step up to the plate and be accountable with your emotions and how you express them. Then, you can let yourself grow and evolve into the best version of yourself. You got this!

Capricorn

It’s time for you to connect to your sentiments and intuition. Before making any choices, decisions, or moves, consider the best path to attain higher spiritual fulfillment. This will help you down the best path for yourself and allow you to lean into your gut feelings.

Aquarius

Seeing the positive side of a situation isn’t hard for you. You can assess matters more optimistically now, as your faith in others and yourself is high. It’ll allow you to trust the universe and the decision-making process.

Pisces

You have some looming debt or bills you’ve wanted to pay off for some time. Before you get tense about the amount you owe, try to make a payment plan to ensure you can disburse them off slowly. Chances are that you can reach an amicable agreement right now that works for you.
