The prevailing energy will prompt a reassessment of relationships, feelings, financial decisions, and personal values. Many situations will bring unfinished conversations, past attachments, and choices back to the forefront. At the same time, a new Venus cycle begins, the Sun moves into Scorpio, and Mercury turns retrograde, ushering in a period for rethinking plans and communication.

On October 20, retrograde Venus forms a tense square aspect to Pluto. This alignment brings hidden emotions, jealousy, and issues surrounding control and dependency to the surface. It becomes difficult to ignore matters that have long been in need of change. Expect emotionally charged conversations, the reappearance of people from your past, or a realization regarding the true value of your relationships.

On October 23 at 12:38 (GMT+3), the Sun enters the sign of Scorpio. The atmosphere becomes deeper and more intense. There is a growing desire to get to the heart of things, strip away the superficial, and focus on what is truly essential in life.

On October 24, retrograde Venus forms a conjunction with the Sun at 1° Scorpio, marking the start of a new Venus cycle and initiating a process of renewal in the realms of love, finance, and self-worth. Even though Venus is in retrograde motion, this moment may bring important insights into your own feelings, desires, and life priorities.

Starting October 25, Mercury turns retrograde, remaining so until November 12. On that same day, at 11:10, retrograde Venus moves back into the sign of Libra, crossing the boundary between the two signs once again during its backward journey. The next three weeks are a time for revising plans, revisiting past projects, correcting mistakes, and restoring lost connections. Meanwhile, Venus in retrograde, moving through the sign of Libra, shifts the focus away from deep, internal emotional experiences toward the pursuit of harmony, fairness, and balance in relationships.

An additional influence this week comes from an opposition between the White Moon and retrograde Neptune, which begins on October 25 and lasts through the end of the month. This alignment may highlight the gap between ideals and reality, helping to reveal instances where one has been deceiving oneself or clinging to alluring illusions.
