Aries for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Aries
 

A Little Fire and a Lot of Feeling!

Your ruling planet MARS, the Mighty Warrior,  begins the week with a disagreement with PLUTO and the MOON, triggering an  emotion reaction through your outer world public arena.   MARS in your Leo family and creative zone, is  defensive and strong, and you may need to stand up for your beliefs and values in support of loved ones. Fortunately, by midweek, MARS has escaped PLUTO's clutches, leaving you free to enjoy yourself without quite so much drama!  The good news is that PLUTO is finally moving forwards again, rightly wrongs, standing up for human rights and democracy and weighing in on your side.

JUPITER, the Great Planet of Destiny, Luck and Expansion in all its forms, also in your Leo family arena,  is encouraging you to think big, although his square to MERCURY suggests that financial arrangements and emotional commitments may require a little more thought.

The SUN enters Scorpio and your Eighth House on the 23rd, bringing shared finances and intimate relationships into focus. MERCURY the Cosmic Messenger turns retrograde here on the 24th for three weeks, with all the usual disruptions to communications and technology, misunderstandings with loved ones and emotional upheavals.  If you have a Mercury Amulet now is the time to wear it.  Keep that awareness of Mercury Retrograde in your mind and watch your impulse control. Be extra patience and remember that those around won’t be communicating clearing either!  Mercury will be encouraging you to review unfinished business, edit your projects and techie world – after you have backed up everything!.

Meanwhile, VENUS slips backwards into Libra and your relationship zone over the weekend, inviting a little romantic diplomacy.  The Love Goddess is still holding on to her Hand of Destiny, radiating down to NEPTUNE  the  Dreamer, the Spiritual Connector and Great Dissolver of boundaries – in your First House of Aries, and down to URANUS that quirky planet of individuality and identity.  NEPTUNE takes you into new developments in your work, the Arts, the mind body connection, and compassion!  While URANUS  is giving you a mental upgrade and  reinventing your communications skills  ....  and diving into your techie world!

With the Full Moon approaching on the 26th, flowing into your Taurus money house, it's time to balance pleasure with practicalities and enjoy some luxury and abundance around you.

If you would like personal insight into how these planetary patterns are affecting your own chart — and the decisions you may be making over the coming months  — book a session with me and we can explore it

These are very generalised forecasts.   Read your Ascendant Sign as well as your Sun Sign.   If you need to know more, gain some tools to support your inner changes and have a personalised reading.....  click here to book a session with Victoria. 

Affirmation for the Week

I follow my passions, manage my money and leave the drama to others!

Taurus for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Love Is Under Review!

Your ruling planet VENUS the Goddess of Love and Success,  begins the week arguing with powerful PLUTO, while the MOON adds her own emotional commentary.  Even though this sneaky square creates a few raw edges for you, at work and with your loved ones, at least PLUTO the Transformer is  now moving forward again, and back driving the progressive developments forward in your career zone.   Watch out for some tangled issues through relationships, career responsibilities and domestic matters early in the week. Perhaps everyone should agree to disagree until the celestial dust settles! 

The SUN moves into Scorpio and your Seventh House of friends and social interactions,  on the 23rd, followed by MERCURY the Communicator turning retrograde on the 24th. Old conversations and unfinished relationship matters may return for another airing. MERCURY Retrograde is never easy so stay focused to your words and be patience with loved ones!  The rule for MERCURY Retrograde is “if it might go wrong, it probably will” so have alternative scenarios for your social life, back up your techie data, and dig out that old spare phone!!

MARS the Mighty Warrior and JUPITER the Great Planet of Expansion, Destiny and Luck, are making themselves comfortable in your living arrangements and emotional centre, although their disagreement with MERCURY suggests that domestic discussions could become a little lively.

Taurus the Bull

Fortunately, VENUS retreats into Libra and your Sixth House of your working environment and surroundings over the weekend, encouraging you to restore balance and beauty to your everyday activities.   Buy those Star Gazers lilies for the Goddess of Love.

The approaching FULL MOON  in your own sign of Taurus on the 26th brings your personal needs into sharper focus. Feed your senses, enjoy a dollop of luxury and get a massage – it’s time for body pampering!

If you would like personal insight into how these planetary patterns are affecting your own chart — particularly relationships, home, finances and career decisions — have a session with me and we can explore it together.

These are very generalised forecasts, read your Sun Sign and your Ascendant Sign.   If you want  to  know more, gain clarity and gather some tools to use in your inner work then have a personalised session.....  click here to book a session with Victoria. 

Affirmations for the week.

I embrace love, preserve my peace and refuse to argue over the washing-up!

Gemini for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Think Before You Speak!

Your ruling planet MERCURY the Communicator,  is preparing to turn Retrograde on PLUTO the 24th in Scorpio and your Sixth House of work, wellbeing and daily activities.  With MARS the Mighty Warrior and JUPITER the planet of Destiny, Luck and expansion in all its forms;   squaring to MERCURY later in the week, communication could become a little colourful and fiery.  Perhaps count to ten before pressing Send!

PLUTO the Power Planet is now moving forward in your Aquarius Ninth House, encouraging you to reconsider your finances, partnerships  and longer-term ambitions.  There is a positive link down to URANUS, in your Gemini First House lighting up your with new plans and ideas.  The extra connection to NEPTUNE the MYSTIC MUSE of compassion, the arts, inspiration and the mind/body forms an Alliance of Harmony and Balance, in place for many months now, providing behind the scenes support for you and your projects.

The SUN enters Scorpio on the 23rd, placing greater emphasis on your surroundings and daily activities .... it’s an intense and transforming period for you.

VENUS retreats into Libra and your Fifth House family affairs and self esteem, over the weekend, bringing renewed interest in romance, creativity and simply enjoying yourself and social interactions with loved ones.

Meanwhile, the approaching Taurus Full Moon on the 26th focuses on your inner world of the past, reaching back through the mists of time with some pleasures and joy.  Time for some pampering and feasting.   But with MERCURY Retrograde a  little quiet time could reveal more than a dozen conversations.

If you would like personal insight into how these planetary patterns are affecting your own chart — particularly your work, health, relationships, communications and future direction — have a session with me and we can explore it together.

These are very generalised forecasts, read both your Sun Sign and your Ascendant sign.  If you need more details and clarity,  and want to gather some tools to support your inner work, have a personalised reading..... click here to book a session with Victoria. 

Affirmations for the week.

I think clearly, speak kindly and remember to engage my brain before my mouth!

Cancer for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Emotions with Extra Sparkle!

The MOON slides along side PLUTO with all his power and transformations, at the beginning of  the week,  caught up in some rather intense planetary disagreements involving PLUTO, VENUS, the SUN and MARS. Financial concerns, emotional expectations and personal values may all demand attention. Try not to take every passing mood as a message from the Universe!

Fortunately, MARS the Fiery Warrior in your cash flow and resources, moves away from PLUTO's influence by midweek, allowing tensions around money and shared resources to ease.  You will still have to contend with JUPITER bickering with MERCURY and  having his brilliant plans under mined by your own lack of confidence  around  the finances and any expansion plans.  Change your  thoughts, take one day at a time, one step at a time!

The SUN skips over the border into  Scorpio and your Fifth House of love, creativity and family affairs,  on the 23rd, joining VENUS in her Hand of Destiny!   VENUS is the Goddess of Love and Success, stomping backwards through Scorpio and back into Libra over the weekend.   Oh my,  this is a highly emotional and intense Love Lady, swimming in the deep current of your subconscious thoughts and feelings.  Retrograde planets give a pause, a period to reflect and reassess – and this Hand of Destiny  takes you back to reconsider your decisions and choices.  You have time to look again calmly and choose your next plan of actions wisely.  VENUS reaches to NEPTUNE the Mystic Guru, Dreamer and source of all that inspires you in your career and work, her second arm connects to URANUS that quirky planet of independence and identity in your inner world of the past, of visions and dreams for the future.  There are changes taking place in your career zone – and even though there may be resistance to these changes ... and a lack of confidence in your direction, just put one foot in front of the other.  One day at a time!  By next week VENUS will be back in Libra again to restore affection, balance, and beauty to your home and living arrangements!

MERCURY the Cosmic Messenger, starts his Retrograde Period on the 24th, for 21 days, and he is also in your Scorpio family affairs and self esteem, perhaps bringing an old romance,  or neglected creative project back into focus.  MERCURY Retrograde is likely to disrupt your communications with loved ones and create the odd technical hiccup with your projects.  Back up your data – dig out your spare phone!

The approaching Full Moon in Taurus on the 26th highlights celebrations and events in your public arena ... get together with friends and have some deliciousness.

If you would like personal insight into how these planetary patterns are affecting your own chart — particularly love, family, finances and future direction — have a session with me and we can explore it together.

These forecasts are very generalised, read your Sun Sign first and then your Ascendant Sign.  If you need more details and clarity,  have a personalised reading.....  click here to book a session with Victoria. 

Affirmation for the Week

I trust my feelings, nurture my dreams and remember that not every ripple is a tidal wave!

Leo for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Leo the Lion

.

The Lion Has Something to Say!

With MARS the Fiery Warrior and generous JUPITER travelling through your First House of Leo, you're certainly not short of enthusiasm and drive!  However, their challenging connections with PLUTO radiating his power and transformation energy through your Aquarius relationships,  and MERCURY the Messenger in your Scorpio emotional home base, suggest that relationships and loved ones could test your patience. Remember, dear Leo, not everyone appreciates a royal proclamation before breakfast.

The SUN begins the week squaring PLUTO in your relationships, with a few heated conversations bringing questions of power and compromise into focus.   By midweek, MARS moves away from PLUTO's influence, helping you regain your natural sparkle and restoring your self confidence.

The SUN enters Scorpio and your Fourth House of emotional balance and living arrangements on the 23rd, while MERCURY turns retrograde here on the 24th. Domestic arrangements may require some revisiting, and some patience!.

VENUS the Love and Success Goddess is in your Scorpio emotions, strong, dominant and possessive.   VENUS lead her Hand of Destiny and even though this is VENUS Retrograde, the Goddess is bringing awareness to your emotional states and expanding your horizons mentally and physically,  with a link up to NEPTUNE in your learning and travel space, and a link up to URANUS walzing though your public arena and taking you into techie activities.

VENUS  retreats back into Libra and your Third House of communication and  thinking, over the weekend, encouraging a gentler approach and return to diplomacy in your words!.

The approaching Taurus Full Moon at the  beginning of next week on the 26th  highlights your career and takes you out into  practical hands on work and projects.

If you would like personal insight into how these planetary patterns are affecting your own chart — particularly home, relationships and future direction — have a session with me and we can explore it together.

Affirmation for the Week

“Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behaviour and relationships.”  Travis Bradberry

Virgo for Week ending 25th October, 2026

The Cosmic Filing Cabinet Needs Attention!

VENUS the Goddess of Love and Success is walking backwards through your Scorpio mind and communications, with intensity and passion making you a little over reactive.   And ... VENUS is still leading her strong Hand of Destiny, with links up to NEPTUNE the Mystic Muse in your power zone, opening up new opportunities and developing your  professional skills set.  Her second arm of this Destiny aspect,  reaches straight up to  URANUS in your Gemini career zone, urging you into new techie interests in your work and expanding your communication skills. Hand of Destiny are those pivotal moments in our lives when a chance encounter or event shifts our direction.  Some things are meant to be!

PLUTO the Power Planet is now moving forward in Aquarius, gradually encouraging changes in working routines and everyday priorities.  PLUTO is progressive and transforming here, connecting up to URANUS and over to NEPTUNE with an Alliance of Harmony.  It’s a good period for you to make changes in your career. You are supported by this Alliance and your finances will benefit.

The SUN enters Scorpio on the 23rd, bringing communication, learning and practical decisions into sharper focus.  Resist the urge to dive in the emotions with so much activity taking place in your mind and thoughts! 

Your ruling planet MERCURY the Messenger,  also turns Retrograde in your  Scorpio mind and communications on the 24th. With MARS and JUPITER also challenging MERCURY, messages, appointments and conversations could become rather muddled. Fortunately, sorting out confusion is practically your speciality!

VENUS retreats into Libra flowing into your cash flow and resources over the weekend, inviting you to reconsider spending habits and restore a little financial balance.

Meanwhile, the approaching Full Moon in Taurus brings celebrations and encourages you to look beyond familiar routines. A new perspective may be just what you need.

If you would like personal insight into how these planetary patterns are affecting your own chart — particularly work, finances and career decisions — have a session with me and we can explore it together.

Libra for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Venus Returns Home!

VENUS the Goddess of Love and Success in your Scorpio cash flow and resources, begins the week arguing with PLUTO the Power planet in your Aquarius family affairs and self esteem,  while little MERCURY also in Scorpio has cross word with MARS, stirring up memories from your past.   Keep thoughts to yourself and let the moment past. With the MOON adding an emotional dimension, you may find yourself wondering whether everyone has suddenly forgotten the meaning of compromise!

VENUS is leading a Hand of Destiny, and even though the Goddess of Love is walking backwards until mid November, this is still a strong and impactful Hand of Destiny, where chance comments or events around cause a shift in your perspective and direction.  VENUS reaches up to NEPTUNE the Mystic Muse and Psychic Connector in your Aries relationships ....and up to URANUS the Quirk Planet of Identity and Independence in your Gemini travel and learning space.   Off on  trip or taking a work shop? – it’s meant to be!

Libra Relates

The SUN enters Scorpio on the 23rd, while MERCURY turns retrograde here on the 24th. Financial arrangements and spending priorities deserve a second look.  MERCURY Retrograde is often tricky, with misunderstandings and confusion.  Focus on your budgets and double check your facts and figures!  Back up you data, and avoid borrowing money from anyone during this period!

MARS and JUPITER are stirring up your public arena and taking you off into new social situations and experiences, although their disagreement with MERCURY suggests that friends and finances may not always make comfortable companions.

Fortunately, VENUS returns to your Libra First House over the weekend, bringing an opportunity to refresh your appearance, relationships and social interactions.  Venus is still sliding backwards and likely to take you backward too – reconnecting with old friends and loved ones.  Make sure you  have taken off your rose coloured spectacles and keep your expectations low!

The approaching Full Moon in Taurus on the 26th in your power zone affects partners, your love life and your finances ... for some romance and celebrations.

Affirmations for Week

“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” The Buddha

Scorpio for Week ending 25th October, 2026

The Plot Thickens!

Your ruling planet PLUTO oozing power and transformation is now moving forward in your Aquarius home base of living arrangements and loved ones to changes that have been quietly developing beneath the surface.

However, PLUTO begins the week receiving some rather challenging attention from the SUN, VENUS, MARS and the MOON. Home, career and relationships could all demand your attention at once.   On top of all that take extra care around your diet and avoid the over spicy pizza or the extra bottle of wine!  Just another perfectly ordinary week in the Scorpio universe!

Fortunately, MARS the Mighty Warrior in your career space of Leo finally  moves away from PLUTO's  influence by midweek, easing professional tensions and the demands of work.

VENUS is the Goddess of Love and Success and until the end of the month the Love Lady is hosting a Hand of Destiny from your First House of Scorpio, reaching down to NEPTUNE the Mystic Muse of arts and connection, in your surroundings an work place; and over to URANUS that planet of independence and identity in your Gemini power zone.  URANUS is re-inventing your professional identity and taking you off on a techie adventure, while NEPTUNE is in charge of all that inspires you to create!

Those Hands of Destiny create pivotal moments of change in your direction and  purpose – from some small comment or event you see the world with a whole new perspective!

VENUS slips back into your Libra inner world over the weekend – focused on love and relationships ... it’ s a good time for creative collaborations.

The SUN crosses your Ascendant Scorpio to enter your own sign on the 23rd, bringing fresh energy and a stronger sense of personal direction.

 MERCURY turns Retrograde in your Scorpio First House on the 24th, walking backwards for 21 days, disrupting your technology, your techie projects and creating delays in your money affairs and finances.  There are likely misunderstandings and confusions in your love life .. and social interactions.  Double check your calendar, back up data and dig out your spare phone!

The approaching Taurus Full Moon on the 26th in your social interactions is great, full of deliciousness and throws light on friends and partners.

If you would like personal insight into how these planetary patterns are affecting your own chart, have a session with me and we can explore it together.

Affirmations for the Week

"The moment you accept responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you gain the power to change anything in your life."   Hal Elrod

Sagittarius for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Enthusiasm Meets Reality!

JUPITER the Great and Generous planet of expansion and generosity, is in your Leo travel and learning zone until the end of July 2027 – and he is not alone here right now, with MARS the Fiery Warrior also in Leo and slowly catching up with JUPITER.   JUPITER is enjoying his travels through Leo gaining knowledge, having adventures and expanding horizons.  Unfortunately, his square to MERCURY the Messenger later in the week suggests that grand plans may require a few practical adjustments. Apparently, even cosmic explorers need to read the small print!   MARS adds enthusiasm and drive but could also encourage impatience, particularly when conversations become complicated.

VENUS the Goddess of Love and Success is steadily walking backwards through your inner world of the past, of private thoughts and all that inspires you creatively through your visions and dreams.  VENUS is extra strong here with a tendency to wallow in emotions  while you are wading through your memories  - that’s never useful since the “rose coloured spectacle” rule will apply.  Do be discerning, pull out of the nose dive down to the deeps and get creative instead!      VENUS is hosting a Hand of Destiny right through the end of the month, reaching down to NEPTUNE the Mystic Muse and Psychic Connector and over to URANUS that quirkly planet of Identity and Independence in your relationships. Hands of Destiny bring those little comments and events that shift perspective and take you off in a different direction in your life.  !!!

The SUN enters Scorpio and your on the 23rd, encouraging a quieter, more reflective approach.   MERCURY turns retrograde here on the 24th, bringing old memories, dreams or unfinished personal matters back into focus.  Use this period for meditation and integration ... changing your thoughts and completing old issues from your past.

VENUS slips back into your public arena and outer world social interactions of  Libra over the weekend, offering opportunities to reconnect with friends and reconsider social commitments.  And that Hand of Destiny is still in place!

The approaching Taurus Full Moon in your surroundings on the 26th is great for you  - have a massage, eat delicious food and hang out with your “besties”!

If you would like personal insight into how these planetary patterns are affecting your own chart, have a session with me and we can explore it together.

Affirmation for the Week

“Your body hears everything your mind says.”   Naomi Judd

Capricorn for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Capricorn

Practical Magic!

SATURN the Great Controller and Career marker, is still marching slowly backwards through your Aries home base and emotional centre, re-organising and encouraging you to sort out your kitchen cupboards, fix the leaky roof and add some comfort.  But those house-hold projects probably won’t be finished until mid December when SATURN turns around – take your time and get it right!.   SATURN is walking backwards until the 10th December, when she’ll turn around and start shoring up the foundations of your home and personal life.

Meanwhile, PLUTO the Power and Transformation planet  is now moving forward in your Aquarius resources and personal values. His early-week disagreements with VENUS, the SUN, MARS and the MOON could bring financial or emotional matters to a head. Fortunately, MARS the Fiery Warrior moves away from PLUTO's reach by midweek, allowing things to settle.

VENUS the Goddess of Love and Success is very strong this week as she wanders backwards through Scorpio.  The Love Goddess is definitely having a back hair day, and feeling a little moody.  but ... VENUS is still leading her Hand of Destiny across the Heavens, reaching from your outer world public activities of Scorpio down to NEPTUNE the Mystic Muse and Psychic Connector in your emotional centre and down to URANUS that quirky planet of Independence and Identity in your surroundings and daily work space.  URANUS is re-inventing your working environment and the role you play in the landscape around you.  He’s very techie here with all that mental activity going on.  Keeping you busy and hopefully out of trouble!  NEPTUNE takes you into body awareness and the link to your emotions ..healthy body and healthy mind... so get down to the gym or onto the mat for a workout!   It’s a Hand of Destiny one of those pivotal moments of realisation and shift of perspective. 

The SUN enters Scorpio on the 23rd, drawing attention towards friendships, social connections and future ambitions.

MERCURY the Cosmic Messenger starts his last Retrograde period for this year on the 24th ...  and he will be walking backwards for the next 21 days!   Dig out your Mercury Amulet (I wear mine all the time anyway), back up your data, find a spare phone just in case ... and be aware that there are likely hiccups and misunderstanding in your social interaction, suggesting that some plans may need revisiting and revising  before moving confirming.

VENUS slides back into your career zone of Libra over the weekend, pushing you to review professional relationships and restore a little balance and harmony to your work/life relationships.

The approaching Taurus Full Moon on the 26th brings creativity, love and pleasure into focus. Hang out with loved ones and prepare some deliciousness. It’s time to pamper and feast!

Affirmation for the Week

“Inevitably we find ourselves tackling too many things at the same time, spreading our focus so thin that nothing gets the attention it deserves. This is commonly referred to as "being busy."  Being busy, however, is not the same thing as being productive.”   Ryder Carroll  

Aquarius for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Pluto Is Back in Business!

PLUTO the Power Planet  is now moving forward in your First House of Aquarius, bringing renewed momentum to the personal transformation that has been quietly unfolding over the last few years.   However, his early-week disagreements with the SUN, VENUS, MARS and the MOON suggest that relationships and professional expectations could become rather intense. Try not to redesign your entire life before lunchtime!

Luckily, MARS the Mighty Warrior moves beyond PLUTO's influence by midweek, helping to ease tensions in your partnership zone.

VENUS the Goddess of Love and Success is in your Scorpio career zone sliding backwards and definitely not her usual happy self.  There are a few dramas and hiccups around your work to sort out.  However, in spite of that VENUS is still leading her Hand of Destiny reaching down to URANUS the quirky planet of Independence and Identity in your family affairs and self esteem, and down to NEPTUNE the Mystic Muse in your mind and communications.  NEPTUNE is busy networking and connecting ... and happiest in the gym or getting exercise, while URANUS is pushing you into a new techie role and project!  It’s  a very strong Hand of Destiny so keep an eye open for those chance comments and odd events that will influence your future.

VENUS moves back into your  Libra travel and event zone with a softer less intense focus over the weekend, taking you off on an adventure to meet interesting people and explore your world.

Aquarius

The SUN enters Scorpio highlighting career and reputation on the 23rd,  swiftly followed by MERCURY turning retrograde on the 24th.  MERCURY will be walking backwards for the next 21 days, with all the usual delays, misunderstandings and confusion that MERCURY Retrograde creates!  Double check your calendar, be gentle in your communications, other people won’t be communicating clearly either.  Dig out a spare phone just in case!    Professional plans, important conversations or unfinished ambitions may need another look.

The approaching Taurus Full Moon on the 26th brings some relief from all the intensity highlighting some happy home time and family matters, reminding you that even revolutionaries need somewhere comfortable to put their feet up.

Keep looking forward, Aquarius. Your world is changing, and so are you. Trust your originality, welcome fresh possibilities and don't be afraid to take a different route. After all, the future was never going to be ordinary with you involved!

“In every human being there is both garbage and gold, it's up to us which we pay attention to." Werner Erhard

Pisces for Week ending 25th October, 2026

Dreams, Detours and Divine Inspiration!

PLUTO the Planet of Power and Transformation is now moving forwards in your inner world of Aquarius -  and that shifts any miserable thoughts you have been entertaining recently – into a positive progressive mind set!   There are a very dubious moments at the beginning of the week, when PLUTO has a swift argument with SUN, VENUS, MARS and the MOON but by mid week MARS has marched ahead out of PLUTO’s influence calming your world down.

VENUS the Goddess of Love and Success is extra strong walking backwards through  your Scorpio travel and learning space  ... and still leading her Hand of Destiny!   VENUS connects down  to URANUS that quirky planet of Independence and Identity in your home base; and down to NEPTUNE the Mystic Muse and Psychic Connector in your income and resources.   Hands of Destiny are those pivotal moments in time when a chance encounter, event or comment shifts our perspective and direction.  And this Hand of Destiny is working away on your behalf until the end of the month!  Some things are meant to be and yours involves travel, and personal development likely to create a shift in your living arrangements and your money world!

The SUN skips into Scorpio on the 23rd, awakening your curiosity and the urge to  travel, learn  and expand your horizons!

Affirmations

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”    Anthony Bourdain

Welcome, my friends!

October 2026

Revisiting the Past, Rethinking the Future

October brings a fascinating mixture of emotional reflection, planetary power struggles and opportunities to rethink the direction of our lives. With VENUS, the Goddess of Love and Success, swimming backwards through Scorpio, relationships, finances and personal values are all coming under review.

This is not necessarily a month for charging ahead with grand new plans. Instead, the planets are encouraging us to look again at what we already have, what we truly want and what may need a little adjustment.

Of course, VENUS would probably prefer a relaxing spa treatment to sorting through emotional baggage and financial arrangements, but even goddesses have responsibilities!

The powerful Hand of Destiny, radiating from VENUS, continues to highlight questions around equality, relationships and the changing role of the Divine Feminine. Meanwhile, MARS and PLUTO are stirring up a few arguments, and the remarkable outer planetary alliance continues to provide a deeper pattern of support beneath the changes taking place.

October is about finding the courage to change what no longer works, while recognising the people, values and commitments worth carrying into the future.

VENUS – The Goddess Who Has Changed Her Mind!

VENUS turns retrograde in Scorpio on 3rd October, beginning a six-week journey of reassessment around love, money, partnerships and the things we value most.

Scorpio doesn't do anything by halves, so emotions may run deep and old relationship patterns could return for another inspection. VENUS is asking whether our personal arrangements still reflect who we are today, rather than who we were when we first made them.

On 10th October, the New Moon in Libra brings an opportunity to restore harmony, negotiate differences and consider new beginnings in relationships. However, VENUS is also squaring up to MARS in Leo, so keeping everybody happy may be easier said than done!

Mid-month brings a welcome shift as PLUTO, the Power Planet, turns direct in Aquarius around 15th–16th October. After months of moving backwards, PLUTO begins gathering momentum again, highlighting questions of power, leadership, technology and the future of our communities.

MARS – The Fiery Warrior Has Something to Say!

MARS in Leo opposes PLUTO in Aquarius at the beginning of October, creating a powerful clash between individual desires and collective expectations.  This is a highly political combination, symbolically highlighting struggles over leadership, authority and the rights of individuals within society. On a personal level, it may reveal where pride, stubbornness or the need for control are making life unnecessarily complicated.  Fortunately, MARS also connects harmoniously with NEPTUNE and SATURN in Aries, bringing imagination, courage and practical determination into the picture.

SATURN wants a sensible plan, NEPTUNE has a wonderful dream, and MARS is already halfway out of the door before either has finished speaking!

Together they encourage us to turn inspiration into action without losing sight of reality.

The Great Alliance – A Cradle of Support

Barbault's Alliance continues its remarkable connection between PLUTO in Aquarius, URANUS in Gemini and NEPTUNE in Aries.

These outer planets symbolise profound changes in collective thinking, communications, technology and our understanding of the future.   With SATURN also in Aries and MARS moving through Leo, the wider pattern forms the supportive Basket, or Cosmic Cradle, that has been influencing this progressive period.   While the faster-moving planets stir up emotional dramas, this deeper alliance suggests opportunities to develop new ideas, reconsider established structures and build something more meaningful for the future.  The challenge is to remain flexible. Change rarely arrives with a neatly printed instruction manual!

MERCURY – Going Back for Another Look!

On 23rd October, the SUN enters Scorpio, deepening the month's reflective atmosphere.

Then, on 24th October, MERCURY turns retrograde in Scorpio, joining VENUS in her backward journey.  Now both the Goddess of Love and the Messenger of the Gods are reviewing old business. Conversations may need repeating, financial arrangements revisiting and emotional misunderstandings untangled.  Back up your data, double check your calendar - there could be confusion and techie breakdowns.   This is an excellent time to review unfinished projects, reconnect with useful ideas and make sure important details haven't been overlooked.

On 25th October, VENUS retrogrades back into Libra, her own sign, shifting some attention towards fairness, cooperation and restoring balance in relationships.

The Full Moon in Taurus – Back to Earth!

The Full Moon in Taurus on 26th October at 04:11:36 UT (GMT) brings a welcome reminder of the importance of stability, comfort and practical security.  With the SUN in emotional Scorpio opposing the MOON in earthy Taurus, we may become more aware of the balance between our deeper emotional needs and the simple things that make life feel safe and enjoyable.  Money, possessions, relationships and personal values may all come into focus.  This Full Moon encourages us to appreciate what we already have while recognising what needs to change.  After all, there's little point in transforming your entire life if you forget to enjoy living it!

October's Message

October is a month of reflection, adjustment and quiet transformation.

With VENUS and MERCURY both travelling backwards, there is wisdom in revisiting the past before making important decisions about the future.

Meanwhile, PLUTO, URANUS, NEPTUNE and SATURN continue their long-term work of reshaping our collective landscape, while fiery MARS reminds us that progress requires courage as well as imagination.  Trust the process, question what no longer works and keep your sense of humour close at hand. The future is taking shape — even if the planets appear to be arguing over the instructions!

If you would like to understand how these powerful planetary patterns are influencing your personal chart and the decisions ahead, have a session with me and we can explore it together.


✨ And a little note from me…

I have just a few Mercury amulets left—beautiful pure silver “eggs” on a delicate snake chain. They’ve been hand-cast here in Thailand, and I’m honestly so proud of them.

Each one is covered in sacred symbols, and I include a PDF explaining their meanings with every piece. I wear mine all the time—it’s very special to me.

Mercury amulets are said to support clear thinking, patience, and communication—perfect for smoothing out those Mercury moments!

If you’d like one, just get in touch via email or Facebook Messenger.
$110 each plus postage—and they’re only available through me.

If you want to know how these  planetary movements will personally affect you, then book a session with Victoria.

Moon in Aries

The Moon in Aries

The Moon in Aries, a constantly reactive emotional body.    From zero to 60 in one second this position for the Moon is not always comfortable. Its all about adrenaline and how you use it.     Remember that Aries can be over active and sometimes anxious,  as well as focused and driven.   Here the Moon Goddess is Cardinal and forceful whether its in expressing how she feels about you, the weather or some miscarriage of justice.    The flames fade away as quickly as they flared up and may leave all those poor people with their heads chopped off lolling a round on the floor,  while you blithly continue in your world, assuming all is well now.

She is all fire.   Exercise is the key, use all that fiery energy dancing, love making,  hiking and even better, fire poi.   Anything involving adrenaline which takes the heart rate up lowers your emotional reactivity and takes you to a more comfortable place.   Cooking particularly over a barbecue or open fire is also great for Aries Moon.     The Aries Moon will nurture you with food and physical affection, and likes to be nurtured back the same way.

"Oh Hail to the Goddess in the Night sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head, I ask for your energy to flow through me in consciousnes, harmony and love"

Moon in Taurus

Moon in Taurus

The Moon is in her Zodiac Sign of Exaltation here in Taurus. She is powerful, sensual, artistic, luxorious and very much in the body and in touch with all her senses. She carries all the positve characterics of Taurus here including an appreciation of beauty in all its forms and a love of good food.   The Taurean Moon personality usually loves to cook and takes feeding people to an art form. The only downside when this aspect is in detriment or not so happy is a stubborness, an emotional stubborness that will often wilfully fail to see any truth that doesn't fit in with existing desires. Sometimes those desires are so strong that they hide from the mind, and the Taurean Moon won't even know or recognise their own motives.

The Taurean Moon will love being fed delicious food, and massaged, anything which appeals to the sensual body, in return the Taurean Moon will cook for you, style you and provide you with an endless supply of resources. This Moon Position is in the Fixed sign of Taurus, and very in the body. Sometimes the Taurean Moon is so busy dealing with the sensory experiences that she forgets to communicate these to the mind and here the mind is left behind, and the Taurean Moon will assume that everyone knows that she loves them....but do they? Of course she needs to learn to communicate from the emotional body.

"Oh hail to thee, Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessing fall upon my head.  I ask for your energy to flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love "

Moon in Gemini

The Moon in Gemini

The Gemini Moon loves to talk.....and especially about his or her emotions which can change from one moment to another. A restless changeable water body, quick to react and sometimes more in the mind than in the actual emotional body, since these feelings have to be felt through that Mercurial thinking process.  
No wonder Gemini Moons are accused of being fickle and two faced, which isn't true at all, its just that sometimes their ability to move on and release what ever upset has been plaguing them a few minutes before, is misinterpretated as shallow.

The Gemini emotion is Mercurial, magical, adapable and wonderfully light....even when doling out sympathy for their dearest friends, the touch is sensitive and featherweight. Having said all that the Gemini Moon is still capable of projecting emotion onto inanimate objects and falling in love with a computer or an iphone!! For partners the constant changing personality may sometimes be bewildering and you may be expected to be a source of variety and emotional stimulation. Just don't bore the Gemini Moon or try to hold her too tightly.  

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky may the rain of your blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in consciousness, harmony and love."

Moon in Cancer

The Moon in Cancer

The Moon is the ruler of Cancer and this is where she is the strongest.   The Cancerian Moon is protective, nurturing and defensive.   Think of a crab with its hard outer shell protecting the soft centre, and waving its claws agressively in the air at preceived threats.    Remember that like Aries, Libra and Capricorn; Cancer is a Cardinal sign, so this Moon is pushy and iniatiates action.   This Moon position gives such a strong need to nurture others that they could bomb people with food parcels.   Cancerian Moons need to check whether their nurture of others is for their own fulfilment to be a successful fixer or really something that someone else wants.

Clearly the Cancerian Moon makes very empathic and healing counsellors and therapists.   The only down side is that sometimes the energy can be a little overwelming and smothering instead of empowering.   These Moon people sometimes suffer from tears of rage when they get really angry and instead of a stream of articulate and to the point words to resolve an issue or make a point, they may just burst into tears.   Even more frustrating!

"Oh Hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love."

Moon in Leo

The Moon in Leo

The Leo Moon is playful and demanding, needing to be the centre of your lovers world, and needing that constant attention from partners and family to feel good about themselves. Naturally they make very good performers and artists in every sense, since they love to stand up in front of other people.   The creative flow of energy is a natural force for this Moon position. Allowing Leo Moons to be good at everything creative that they do. The down side to this energy is a need always to be good at whatever they do and a fear of being mediorce. This energy can also be in detriment and then the opposite is true, with low self esteem and a tendency to hide away.

If you have a Leo moon you will need to tell yourself that you are "bold, brave and beautiful" on a regular basis.   The Leo Moon's need for approval and recognition lies within and the only true resolution is when the Leo Moon starts to approve and recognise their own self.   Leo Moons love children and playing games of any sort;  they are usually the life and soul of the party,  providing there is an audience for them and their drama!

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in harmony, consciousness and love."

Moon in Virgo

The Moon in Virgo

The Virgo Moon connects you to the earth, to healing, and the healing arts. Wolves, owls, deer and magic all belong to the Virgo Moon.   The urge to serve others comes up strongly for Virgo Moons and the Moon transitting Virgo.   She also puts focus on health and nutrition, asking you to look at your diet and digestive processes. Virgo rules the spleen, which in astrology applies to more than just the actual spleen but the whole of the upper digestive system.   The Moon in this position means that sometimes the emotions are not physically felt but instead run in an endless loop of thought and analytic process.   A mind which never stops.

The anwser of course is to just feel the emotions.......as a physical sensation in the body or as a fluid momentum in the water body.   Breath work will help here,  and gentle breathing exercises focusing on the feelings in the body will shut the mind up.   The Virgo Moon can also satisfy her urge to analysis the emotions by writing them out of the body,  and the process of writing soothes and calms the over active brain.   The Virgo Moon is most likely to evolve into the world of alchemy,  using herbs and earth magic as part of the enterlightment process.

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in harmony, consciousness and love."

Moon in Libra

The Moon in Libra

The Libra Moon is gentle and dreamy. Its obviously all about relationships and the Librian Moon often only sees her self and feels herself through the mirror of an other. But of course the Libra Moon has a hidden iron hand within her velvet glove.

This is a Cardinal signs and the push for emotional balance is very strong.   The Libran Moon sometimes forgets that its her inner world that causes change, and will try to subtly adjust her partner to suit her own needs in the outer world.   Ooohhh!   Relationships are all about projecting our Shadow onto our partners . So its not a healthy practice to then try to change them from the outside. Better to do the inner work so that our outer world becomes more harmonius.   
 

The Libran Moon sometimes tumbles from one relationship straight into another because the pull for that other person's perspective is so strong. Libran Moons are such good listeners they take on the feelings of those they listen to and become a chameleon reflecting those same emotions back again. They can become lonely and sad by themselves for too long. The life lesson for the Libran Moon is to evolve into a place of at - one -ment, where they can have true choice over whether to share their reality or walk alone.

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in consciousness, harmony and love."

Moon in Scorpio

The Moon in Scorpio

The Moon in Scorpio is not always comfortable, and since I have Moon in Scorpio myself I can say that it brings its own unique challenges and insights. The emotions are deep and intense, and not always easy to express or release.

Scorpio Moon personalities cling on to past hurts in ways that are never understood by friends and partners. They may carry icepicks in their backpacks, in the form of wounds and sharp secrets, which they can whip out when under attack. So enemies remain enemies.
 

Its useful to remember that the Scorpio Moon has the power to change. The positive energy is a deep, and sensual response to life. to understand and relate to the psychology of the "other".To experience love on such a level that is becomes soul merging. To have empathic links with others that allow you to heal,nurture and change lives. This is the evolved Scorpio Moon.

"Oh hail to thee, Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessing fall upon my head. I ask for your energy to flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love "

Moon in Sagittarius

Moon in Sagittarius

The Moon in Sagittarius is complicated, on one hand friendly, outgoing, warm and adventuous; on the other, emotionally unavaible, impatient, competitive, and highly impressed by wealth and power.
They are warm enough to light a fire and make excellent teachers with their enthusiasm and knowlege and will boldly lead where other fear to tread, unfortunately that can sometimes be over other peoples emotions. Unlike the Taurean Moon it is not about the material world but more about the experiences gained, even though they may be fleeting, for the Sagittarian Moon these experiences contribute to the learnng data base....and emotional knowledge is power. The impatience to learn overspills their ability to form deep relationships which take time, time the Sagittarius wants to use to learn and expand. But the evolved Sagittarian Moon is the Divine Mother and all about empowering others.

The lesson for the Sagittarius Moon this life time is sustainable expansion in all its forms, either with love or enlightment, everything needs to come back to the earth. While the Sagittarius Moon is busy expanding and reaching for the Moon......their loves and friendships are left behind. What price power and fame if you leave behind your humanity.?

"Oh hail to the Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in consciousness, harmony and love."

Moon in Capricorn

The Moon in Capricorn

Earthy and practical, the Capricorn Moon is sometimes very misunderstood.   This is a very emotional place to have your Moon.   The emotions are so physically felt in the body that the need is strong to control and repress them; and find solutions on the earth level to relieve the emotional pressure.  On the plus side Earth Magic is all around her or him and Capricorn Moons are drawn to Shamanic practices and rituals, and connected to earth magic in the form of trees, plants, rocks and rivers... A huge earthy connection to the environment.   

The Capricorn influence likes to be right..and have the last word, and of course this is to make them feel more secure in the practical world....usually at the cost of actually experiencing their own emotions.    They make great supportive friends, particuarly when they give up the need to "fix" and "solve" the people around them.   This Capricorn Moon is highly organised at taking care of others and wonderful in an emergency.

"Oh hail to thee, Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessing fall upon my head.   I ask for your energy to flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love "

Moon in Aquarius

The Moon in Aquarius

The Moon in Aquarius can put her emotions on hold and step right back for the bigger picture, trying to see the emotional need for the group as a whole and not just the individual.   The Aquarian Sign of the Zodiac are the Star Children of the Universe and the Moon here intensifies all those ideals and philosophy. Aquarian Moons need to take care of their tribes and groups. Sometimes puting their own personal needs to one side. That the tendency to disassociate from the personal emotions can put too much of a load on the nervous system for Aquarius Moons, and that lovely altruistic humanitarian energy can go into overwhelm and result in exhaustion and then a need for time completely alone to recover their energy.

If the emotional buttons are truely activated this personality can go into revolutionary mode and behave unpredicably and with extreme independence after emotional pain.    There is a tendency for mood swings and sometimes depressions which can last three or four days before they snap back into being buoyant and positive again.   They love groups and feel very supported by community living and community activities.

"Oh hail to thee, Goddess in the Night Sky, may the rain of your bright blessing fall upon my head.   I ask for your energy to flow through me in harmony, consciousness and love "

Moon in Pisces

The Moon in Pisces

The Pisces Moon, soft, sensitive and self sacrificing.  This is the most sensitive of all the Moon positions, a place without boundaries or protective armour.  These personalities are often the mystics and psychics of the world, dancers, musicians, healers, poets, spirit workers and creatives.   The Pisces Moon gives a connection straight through to the collective unconscious.  The book that writes the writer.   The song that sings the singer . The down side for the Pisces Moon is the tendancy to pick up everyone else's emotions and recycle them as their own.   The extreme sensitivity can also mean that they collect the thought streams of others and then react to them as if they were real rather than just passing random thoughts.   Very sentimental and so often riding on the wave of emotions of others, they need grounding and structure to contain their compassion.

Their empathy extends to all animals, lost causes, orphans and underdogs!   Their strong need to sacrifice themselves for others causes problems in their lives.   All Piscean Moons need to learn to live for themselves and to want to be on planet earth.   To remember that their mission is to bring balance and harmony between the spirit world and the material world.   Their nervous systems are so sensitive that drugs and alcohol seriously interfere with their immune systems.   Most Pisceans Moons can see auras easily and if they look at their own in a mirror they will notice that thin patches form when they use escapist drugs or too much alcohol.   They also have a tendency to allergies and need a particularly healthy clean diet.   They are the Kings and Queens of unrequited love.

"Oh hail to thee Goddess in the Night sky, may the rain of your bright blessings fall upon my head.  I ask that your energy flows through me in harmony, consciousness and love."
