The major transits of the week are:

October 26: The Full Moon in Taurus offers us the chance to plant seeds for the future.

October 26: The Sun in Scorpio links up with Pluto in Aquarius, heightening pre-existing issues with the intention of change.

October 30: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo, causing us to have minimal tolerance for shenanigans and drama.

Aries

This cosmic climate is perfect for embracing your sensual side and reconnecting with your nearest and dearest. If you need a bit of cheering up, use this energy as an excuse to spoil yourself a little, but don't go overboard with your spending. You can strike a balance.

Taurus

Your intuition will guide you toward what you want, and a morning reflection can bring clarity to your objectives. The good news is that this energy is extremely illuminating, but only if you're willing to accept and change behavioral patterns that are no longer serving you.

Gemini

Keep focusing on networking and meeting new people to find the attention and validation you seek. Try not to worry too much about what others might be saying about you — they don't know the real you. Remember that true confidence comes from within and doesn't depend on how others view you.

Cancer

Try a meditation session to illuminate the path ahead and bring in newness. When motivation hits, check in with your body and take breaks to recharge. Listen to the creative inspiration that speaks to your heart and soul. Start the process, but be gentle as you charge forward.

Leo

Stay on guard for short tempers that you witness in yourself and others, as the cosmic forces can sometimes erode our patience threshold. A harsh aspect between the intense Sun and the evocative planet Pluto may exacerbate this sentiment, especially if you've been slacking on your self-care lately.

Virgo

The celestial environment loves to get organized, so if you need to clean out your cabinets or closets, now is the time to do so. If any lingering chores need tending to, try to complete them before the witching hour nears, in preparation for Samhain and Halloween.

Libra

This week’s astrology asks you to relax a bit and take things easier over the next couple of days. You should wake up feeling in tune with your spirit and manifest your aspirations. Make sure you're practicing patience with the outcome. Trust in both yourself and the universe.

Scorpio

If you start to feel overwhelmed, give yourself permission to step back and take time out, even if only for a few minutes. Luckily, your sign will receive some aid from Pluto, which should assist you in quickly releasing any unpleasant thoughts or situations that find their way to you.

Sagittarius

You'll absorb the energy around you, so be mindful of who you surround yourself with and the situations you enter. People may throw you off your game conversationally. Issues that you thought had been buried are brought back to the surface, forcing you to confront your personal history.

Capricorn

Dreaming big will suit you well right now, as the universe will conspire to open doors for you under this cosmic climate in unpredictable ways. Remember to follow through responsibly on any goals you envision right now, so prepare to do the work. You got this!

Aquarius

Look for unique opportunities right now, even in unassuming places. You never know where or when your next breakthrough will happen; still, the days ahead show you that growth is possible in the mundane. You will be in a position that enhances your aura, so use it to your advantage.

Pisces

Deep healing is possible earlier in the week, as the stars and planets share a fraught connection with Pluto. Emotions may feel more passionate than usual, but if you accept your situation and let go, you'll feel lighter and more refreshed. To transform, start with a fresh slate.
