~Monday October 28th through Sunday November 3rd~
***All times are Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT) until Sunday November 3rd when we change to Eastern Standard Time (EST)***
PLEASE NOTE- I am currently writing the Weekly Forecast with only major Planets and major aspects. I will resume the minor bodies and aspects when I am able <3
Monday October 28th-
At 8:31am Mars in Cancer trines Retrograde Neptune in Pisces- linking the Will and Drive with the Higher Heart. Typically Mars/Neptune is lovely- it’s great for creativity, romance, intuition and activating the Spiritual Warrior archetype in us. At his best Mars can surrender his ego and will so he is in service of Higher Love, compassion and altruism. This is great for artistic expression, selfless service and tending to others with Love and care. Tap into this lovely energy and use your will to take action towards greater tolerance, kindness and compassion towards yourself and in the world around you.
Venus in Sagittarius squares Retrograde Saturn in Pisces at 9:35am- creating tension between the Goddess of Love and Beauty and the Lord of Karma and Father of Time. Venus/Saturn as the first aspect to the new year can have a heavy energy to it- but it can also be grounding and incite mastery and discipline. At best Venus is reality checked by Saturn and we are questioning our beliefs and versions of Truth so we can make sure we are accurate and seeing the whole picture. The shadow of this square is that we can feel limited and restricted in our abundance, self worth and self Love, and we may need to pop the Love and Light bubble so that we are seeing reality on its own terms and not through rose colored glasses.
Tuesday October 29th-
At 11:21pm Mercury in Scorpio quincunxes Retrograde Eris in Aries- creating tension between the Mind and Intellect and the Goddess of Discord and Chaos. Mercury/Eris can be revealing but also chaos inducing in communication and thinking today. The Mars-rulership of both signs can unearth fire, aggression and combative energy- so navigate with care. Be direct and powerful in communication but not forceful and dominating for best result
Wednesday October 30th-
At 6:15pm Mercury in Scorpio opposes Retrograde Uranus in Taurus- creating tension between the lower mind and the Higher Mind in sudden and unexpected ways! Mercury/Uranus can be revealing, liberating and freeing but it can also bring shocking and chaotic information, revelations, communications and more. Staying open to the Higher Mind frequency is key. Do not hold onto the old out of safety and security. The new wants to come in! Also be aware there is an ungrounded energy present today- so be extra conscious when driving and moving about in the world. As the Taurus/Scorpio axis is highlighted there can be some sudden and unexpected news or energy playing out around money, finances and security. Opening up to new ideas of how to make money or create wealth and abundance could be part of the process today!
Thursday October 31st-
Happy Halloween! From now until Solar Samhain on November 6th we have a portal for death, descent and the veil being thin. It’s extra powerful for working with your ancestors, your dreams and opening to your psychic and intuitive gifts. We have a Dark Moon tonight as well- which doubles down on this energy (the New Moon is 11/1).
At 8:33pm Mercury in Scorpio trines Retrograde Neptune in Pisces- aligning the Conscious Mind and Intellect with the planet of Mysticism, Intuition and Compassion. Mercury/Neptune is lovely for spirituality, mysticism, dreams and imagination. With both bodies in Water signs letting emotions flow and focusing on communicating from the Higher Heart and a place of compassion and kindness is supported right now.
Friday November 1st-
The New Moon at 9’35 Scorpio is exact at 8:47am EDT- commencing a new Lunar Cycle that focuses on the shadow, the depths and our relationship to all the taboo topics of society- sex, death, money, power and control. This New Moon is trine Saturn who will station direct at the Full Moon on November 15th. We are supported in Diving Deep and seeing into and through the shadows right now- if we are willing to do the work! Both Rulers of the New Moon- Mars as ancient ruler and Pluto as modern ruler- are at the Karmic Completion Degrees of 29 Cancer/29 Capricorn and are heading into an opposition exact early morning Sunday November 3rd. This can MASSIVELY amplify and exacerbate power/control dynamics- in families, in countries, in government and more!
I have a lot more to say on this New Moon- so check my Lunar Insight here- https://divineharmony.com/lunar-insight/new-moon-in-scorpio-the-fertile-darkness-11-1-24/. The Lunar Horoscopes will be up by the afternoon of November 1st.

Saturday November 2nd-
At 4:09am Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini sextiles Retrograde Chiron in Aries- linking the Planet of Expansion and Abundance with the Wounded Healer Planetoid. This is the second of 3 Jupiter/Chiron sextiles with the first just having happened on 10/12- so we have had back to back transits in the last 20 days with these two amplifying their energy together. Positively these two can be wonderful for communication and healing- both in terms of personal healing (therapy, shadow work, getting to the bottom of things that need healing) and collective healing (potentially good for diplomacy and finding healing paths through communication and collaboration). Opportunities to travel or teach or learn as a student should be embraced! Chiron can help heal our minds (Jupiter in Gemini) and Jupiter can help Chiron get into old wounds and pain in new ways that truly support healing and transformation. With both the 1st and 2nd of these sextiles happening while both bodies are Retrograde- there is a focus on the past and dealing with what is unresolved that is in the spotlight right now. PAY ATTENTION!
At 4:21am Mercury at 29’21 Scorpio trines Mars at 29’21 Cancer, linking the Mind and Intellect with the Will and Drive. Mercury/Mars is great for being forthright, honest, direct and clear. With both bodies in Water Signs we are supported in dealing with, expressing and releasing emotions- particularly any that may have been blocked, repressed or otherwise ignored. With Mercury in Scorpio- this is an amazing day for therapy, research, investigation and getting to the bottom of things!
Mercury at 29’45 Scorpio sextiles Pluto at 29’45 Capricorn at 11:03am- linking the Mind and Intellect with the Planet of Transformation and Divine Deep! Mercury is in Pluto’s Sign and then aspecting Pluto- bringing extra potent energy for deep, honest talks. This is amazing for therapy, shadow work and healing. It can also be great for finally getting to the bottom of things that have been festering for far too long.
Mercury moves out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius at 3:18pm- shifting the Conscious Mind and Intellect from Water to Fire, yin to yang, depths to heights. Mercury in Sagittarius loves to travel, teach, learn, explore and expand! The mind wants to grow beyond its boundaries and limits! This is a great time for travel. Just watch out for the shadow of Mercury in Sagittarius- thinking the grass is greener on the other side, thinking your beliefs are the right ones, and only being able to teach/speak but never being able to listen ;)
Sunday November 3rd-
Daylight Savings ends today at 2:00am and we shift to Standard Time. We fall behind an hour- so at 2am we go back to 1am and we gain an extra hour of sleep!
Mars at 29’45 Cancer opposes Retrograde Pluto at 29’45 Capricorn at 6:37am- creating major tension between the lower will and Higher Will. This is a very powerful transit- there’s no getting around it! The Highest expression of Mars/Pluto is having the lower will be in service to the Higher Will. Yet the opposition can create conflict with others- others in our personal lives and others collectively in the form of other races, religions, countries and more. This is NOT a time to take action from a lower ego place or from a place of subjectivity, emotionality and unresolved wounding form childhood. Doing this can create serious karmic consequences. Power/over and power/under dynamics can unfold right now. Don’t be a manipulator and dominator and don’t allow others to manipulate or dominate you either. Channel the Higher side of this energy and focus this force within in the from of self-confrontation and transformation! With both Mars and Pluto at Karmic Completion degrees- what is up right now has probably been a long time coming. Pluto is only at 29 Capricorn for 16 more days- completing a cycle that began back in 2008. Read my blog about Pluto at 29 Capricorn here for more info- https://divineharmony.com/astrology-blog/pluto-at-29-capricorn-the-last-dying-breaths-of-patriarchal-extraction-culture/
At 10:25am Venus in Sagittarius opposes Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini- creating tension between the two Benefic Planets that love to live life to the fullest! Venus/Jupiter is great for having fun and enjoying life- but the tense nature of the transit can lead to excess and overdoing, over spending, over indulging and more. With both bodies in signs related to communication and Truth- we may also overdo our own perspective and ideology in self righteous hubristic ways. Balance is key.
Venus in Sagittarius trines Retrograde Chiron in Aries at 11:22am- aligning the Goddess of Love and Beauty with the Wounded Healer planetoid. This is a transit of heart healing and can be amazing for Love and connection. Healing around our hearts, values and feminine aspects of self is in focus today. With both bodies in Fire Signs- honoring our (and other’s) needs for space and freedom is the way to go. Healing around our sense of self, boundaries and self care is supported today.
At 11:10pm Mars moves out of Cancer and into Leo- shifting the Will and Drive from Yin to Yang, Water to Fire, feminine to masculine essence. Mars is a Fire planet and in Fiery Leo he is extra passionate, creative, courageous and potent. Mars in Leo is a natural leader, hero, actor and performer. He can also think he is royal and be narcissistic, arrogant and addicted to attention. Use Mars’ Fire in the coming weeks to authentically express yourself while not getting too stuck on yourself at the same time ;)
Have a blessed week ahead…
