Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Scorpio on October 13, bringing important news your way. You could share some deep feelings or learn news that feels transformational. Conversations about power, vulnerability, and trust can pepper your days, and you’re in an investigative mood—whether that means binging the latest crime doc or going down a rabbit hole on Instagram. You’re making a decision about how you spend your money when the Sun in Libra bumps into Mars in Cancer on October 14. Maybe you’re ready to put money into a side business, or you’re making a big purchase like going on a bachelorette party or group vacation. You could also bump into some drama in your friendships today.

On the same day, Venus in Scorpio stares down Uranus in Taurus, and even though Mercury isn’t retrograde, you might hear from someone from your past out of the blue. You could also encounter surprises with siblings, BFFs, and extended family members—like maybe you run into one of them while you’re out grocery shopping. Conversations feel inspiring or jarring—people are speaking before they’re thinking!

A few days later, on October 17, a Full Moon in Aries lights up the skies and closes out a chapter regarding debt and shared resources. Maybe you’re ready to look into buying stocks or you’re paying off a credit card. A romantic relationship may deepen or a work contract could end or change. Emotionally, today’s energy gives you the courage to confront your fears and your past so you can learn how to let go.

Venus enters Sagittarius on the same day, bringing your attention to your private life. If you’re moving or trying to find new roommates, luck is on your side! This also brings a period of ease to your close relationships and helps any family drama subside. You may be interested in beautifying your space with some chic houseplants or a new, cute comforter and throw pillows. You’re feeling pangs of jealousy or envy when the Sun in Libra slams into Pluto in Capricorn on October 22. Someone else may have what you want! This can kick up feelings of insecurity and shame, but it’s an important reminder from the universe that if someone else has what you desire, it’s possible for you, too.

Later in the day, the Sun enters Scorpio, putting a spotlight on your voice and your bright ideas. The next few weeks are an ideal time to put your thoughts, feelings, and ideas out there. This Scorpio season, you may begin new contacts or negotiations, or find yourself traveling more. Your social calendar is full, that’s for sure! You’re feeling tension in your relationships with your chosen family when Venus in Sagittarius bumps into Saturn in Pisces son October 28. You may need to set boundaries or learn disappointing news from someone you care about. Old wounds can also resurface. You’re learning even more shocking news on October 30 when Mercury in Scorpio locks eyes with Uranus in Taurus. The plot thickens in an unexpected way!

The month winds down with Mercury in Scorpio mingling with Neptune in Pisces on October 31. Conversations in your close relationship bring healing and people are compassionate towards your feelings and needs. This is lovely energy for creative collaboration or dreaming about the future with someone you love. You may learn news that you’re grateful for, or extend forgiveness or receive an apology from someone important. Your intuition is incredibly charged and powerful so listen to your gut responses. It’s Halloween, after all.
