A Weekly Astrological Look Ahead with Soul-Work Journal Prompts, Healing Opportunities, as well as Actionable Steps to Work with the Energy.
Hey Soul Seekers,
The Astrology for October 26th – November 1st is revealing. It’s the kind of week where the veil thins, and what’s been hidden rises to the surface, not necessarily to overwhelm us, but to be seen, understood, and finally released.
We begin Monday with the Taurus Full Moon alongside the Sun square Pluto. Full Moons always illuminate what we couldn’t previously see or recognize—but when they also square Pluto, they illuminate our shadow and what was hidden. This is deep, psychological material rising for conscious work. It may feel tender. It may feel raw. But it will give us exactly what we need to work with. Pay attention to what surfaces. It’s not here to punish —it’s here to free us.
Wednesday brings a return to something we visited back on September 10th: Venus retrograde opposite Chiron retrograde. This is the second chapter of that story. Look back to what was happening around September 9th and 10th—the themes, the conversations, the wounds, the relational dynamics. What was coming up for you then? This week, we may get more of the story, more context, more clarity. The wound is not new—but the healing is deepening.
Friday brings two more repeating transits: Venus retrograde trine the North Node, which first happened on September 9th, and Mercury retrograde square Mars, which first happened on October 2nd. These are continuations of stories already in motion. Pay attention to what comes up—it’s not random. It’s purposeful. The same themes are resurfacing so they can be understood more deeply, released more fully, and integrated more completely.
This is a week for shadow work. For journaling. For paying attention to what triggers you, what moves you, what hurts, and what heals. The more you stay present with yourself, the more you’ll be able to work with this energy.
The depths are calling—and the healing is real.
A Reminder
A friendly reminder, with Saturn and Neptune moving through Aries, time may feel fast, scattered, or hard to wrangle. Let joy, purpose, personal development, and what truly nourishes you, be your compass. These are the anchors that keep you grounded while everything else accelerates.
I’ll be opening my schedule for consults soon. I’ll begin with those that are on the waitlist, first taking members, then move to the non‑members on the waitlist. I’ll be reaching out one‑by‑one, so I don’t overwhelm myself, as I ease back into a heavier workload. Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your support. I’m deeply grateful to do what I love — and it’s because of you.
Moving Forward
With the significant energy for 2026, I’ve personally decided to make the extended weekly articles available to everyone, not just our Soul Seeker members. My purpose is to help and support our healing journey using astrology, and I believe the insight in the weekly articles, is a tool meant to be shared with everyone. We can all use this as a supportive map for the energetic times we live in, as we work to create a more conscious and compassionate world, together.
Sharing is Caring
If my work resonates with you, the best way you can help is to share it. Pass it along to anyone you feel could benefit. We are all healing something, and by supporting each other with wisdom and understanding, we upgrade not just individually, but collectively—stepping closer into our most authentic, soul-aligned selves. 2026 brings powerful astrological energies that will fundamentally reshape our self-perception and our experience of the world around us. I want these weekly updates to help validate what we are moving through so we can heal and grow together. *If my weekly articles or our consults have been a helpful part of your journey, I would be so grateful if you felt called to share your experience. You can leave a review or testimony right on my website.

Astrological Breakdown for the Week
The Astrology for October 26th – November 1st
This week asks us to feel deeply, release honestly, and realign with what truly matters. The energy begins on Monday with the Taurus Full Moon — a potent culmination that brings emotional security, self‑worth, and relational dynamics into sharp focus. With the Sun in Scorpio squaring Pluto, and the Full Moon activating a Yod, we’re guided toward a necessary psychological adjustment: what we once valued may no longer be what keeps us feeling safe. Old attachments are ready to be released so something more authentic can take their place.
On Wednesday, Venus retrograde opposes Chiron Rx for the second time — a return to the healing story that began on September 10th, now deepened by the Scorpio Sun and Pluto’s direct motion. This is where the heart meets the wound, not to break us open, but to free us from what has been holding us back.
Friday brings two repeating transits: Venus retrograde trine the North Node and Mercury retrograde square Mars. These echo themes from September 9th and October 2nd, inviting us to pause, reflect, and respond with consciousness rather than react from old patterns. They remind us that growth requires intention, and clarity requires stillness.
This is a week of emotional awareness and healing — a week that asks us to move with honesty, courage, and devotion to what truly matters.
Monday, October 26th: Taurus Full Moon; Sun (Scorpio) square Pluto (Aqua.)
On Monday, we have the Taurus Full Moon, ruled by Venus retrograde in Libra, in her other home sign. This Full Moon is emotionally rich, psychologically charged, and deeply transformative. The Sun and Moon, both squares Pluto in Aquarius, intensifying the need for change, release, and inner truth. This is a Full Moon that exposes what we feel, what we value, and what we need to transform.
This Full Moon is part of a Yod formation, with the Taurus Moon and Chiron retrograde in Aries acting as the boomerang. The apex — the point of pressure — is the Sun in Scorpio conjunct Venus retrograde in Libra, quincunx Uranus retrograde in Gemini and Neptune retrograde in Aries. Yods demand adjustment. They point to what must change. They highlight the emotional, psychological, and relational patterns that can no longer continue.
The Sun, Moon, Venus retrograde, and Chiron retrograde are all square Pluto in Aquarius, creating a powerful moment of transformation. Pluto squares bring shadow material to the surface — the fears, wounds, insecurities, and emotional truths we’ve been avoiding. This Full Moon is not subtle. It is honest. It is revealing. It is necessary.
The Taurus Full Moon forms multiple aspects:
- Opposite the Sun (Scorpio) — Tension between emotional security and psychological depth. What we feel vs. what we know.
- Opposite Venus Rx (Libra) — Relational wounds, self-worth themes, and emotional needs that have been neglected or misunderstood.
- Trine Jupiter (Leo) — Supportive growth, wisdom, and heart-centered expansion. Jupiter offers hope and optimism.
- Semi‑sextile Uranus Rx (Gemini) — Subtle adjustments in mindset and communication. A shift in emotional perception. Seeing things from a different view.
- Semi‑sextile Neptune Rx (Aries) — Subtle adjustments in ideals, actions, and vision. Adjustments in emotional boundaries.
- Square Pluto (Aquarius) — Shadow material surfacing — fear, control, insecurity, emotional intensity, and old emotional patterns that need to be released.
- Sextile North Node (Aquarius) — Opportunity for evolutionary growth and future direction.
- Trine South Node (Leo) — Supportive release of old emotional patterns, identities, and ways of being.
- Conjunct Chiron Rx (Aries) — Awareness is rising around emotional wounds connected to safety, comfort, belonging, our needs, our values, our right to take up space, and the sensations held in the body — all revealing what is ready for deeper healing.
The Taurus Moon wants security, comfort, stability, and groundedness. But sitting next to Chiron retrograde in Aries, emotional wounds around security, belonging, self-worth, and comfort may surface. The Sun in Scorpio can feel exposed, which makes the Moon feel even more tender. Venus retrograde in Libra — ruler of the Full Moon — is sensitive, reflective, and seeking balance after weeks of psychological excavation in Scorpio.
The Moon opposite Venus retrograde highlights relational wounds, self‑worth themes, and emotional needs that have been neglected or misunderstood. The square to Pluto brings shadow responses to the surface — fear, control, insecurity, emotional intensity, and old patterns that need to be released.
Pluto is squaring:
- The Sun — Identity, ego, purpose — what needs to transform?
- The Moon — Emotional security, needs — what needs to be released?
- Venus Rx — Values, relationships, self-worth — what needs to be recalibrated?
- Chiron Rx — Wounds, vulnerability, healing — what needs to be healed?
Pluto is asking for transformation in all of them.
The Yod points directly to the question: What needs to change? The Sun in Scorpio (ruled by Mars and Pluto) conjunct Venus retrograde in Libra asks for adjustment — in values, in relational patterns, in emotional expectations, in boundaries, in how we show up with others. We may realize that what once felt valuable or comforting no longer feels aligned. We may desire deeper connection, deeper truth, deeper emotional resonance.
Our thinking is changing (Mercury retrograde), ruled by Uranus retrograde in Gemini. Our ideals and visions are changing (Neptune retrograde in Aries). These shifts create emotional responses in the body (Taurus Moon).
This Full Moon is the moment where the body speaks the truth the mind has been avoiding.
What it feels like: Today feels tender, exposed, and emotionally charged. You may feel vulnerable, insecure, or aware of wounds around safety, belonging, or relational balance. You may feel pulled between comfort and transformation, between stability and truth. There is a sense of emotional intensity — but also clarity. Something inside you is ready to shift.
Positive expressions: This energy supports emotional healing, relational recalibration, psychological insight, and deep transformation. The Taurus Moon grounds you. Venus retrograde helps you understand your values. Scorpio helps you face truth. Pluto helps you release what no longer serves. The Yod helps you adjust. Jupiter helps you grow. The Nodes help you align with your path. This is a powerful day for healing, clarity, and emotional honesty.
Shadow expressions: The shadow may show up as fear, control, emotional withdrawal, defensiveness, or clinging to old patterns. Pluto can intensify insecurity. Venus retrograde can amplify sensitivity. Chiron can highlight wounds. Scorpio can amplify suspicion. Taurus can resist change. The shadow is holding onto what hurts because it feels familiar.
The invitation: Listen to your body. Listen to your emotions. Listen to what feels tender. Adjust what needs adjusting. Release what no longer supports your growth. Let the Full Moon illuminate your truth. Let Venus retrograde recalibrate your values. Let Scorpio transform what has been hidden. Let Pluto help you evolve. This is a moment of emotional honesty, relational clarity, and deep inner transformation.
Healing Opportunity & Actionable Step:
Reassessing What Brings Comfort and Security
Aligned with the Taurus Full Moon (emotional security, self-worth) and Sun square Pluto (transformation, shadow work).
Positive Expression: Deep emotional healing, relational clarity, and a powerful opportunity to reassess what truly matters. Recognizing where old values no longer bring you comfort or security. Choosing something deeper. Transforming your relationship with security, self-worth, and emotional truth.
Shadow Expression: Emotional overwhelm, reactivity, clinging to old comforts, or feeling triggered by change. Shadow responses surfacing. Resistance to the transformation Pluto is demanding.
Actionable Step: Journal: What did I once value that no longer brings me comfort and security? What do I truly desire now—something deeper? What old comfort, pattern, or attachment am I ready to release so I can make space for what actually nourishes me? Then, take one small step toward that deeper desire—set a boundary, release an obligation, or simply acknowledge what you’re ready to let go of. Let yourself feel the emotional response that arises. Let yourself transform.
Wednesday, October 28th: Venus Rx (Libra) opposite Chiron Rx (Aries)
On Wednesday, the day after the Taurus Full Moon, Venus retrograde in Libra opposes Chiron retrograde in Aries for the second time. The first opposition occurred on September 10th, during the Virgo New Moon — but this time, Chiron is retrograde in Aries, making the wound more personal, more identity‑based, and more connected to who we are, our courage, our independence, and taking up space.
Venus retrograde is still conjunct the Sun in Scorpio, square Pluto in Aquarius, trine the North Node in Aquarius, and opposite Chiron retrograde in Aries. This configuration re‑highlights the Mystic Rectangle we felt on September 10th — involving Venus retrograde, the North Node, the South Node, and Chiron retrograde. This is a return to a healing story that began weeks ago, now deepened and intensified by the Scorpio Sun and Pluto’s direct motion.
This opposition offers profound healing around both Venus retrograde themes — relating, self‑worth, values, emotional needs, and connection — and Chiron retrograde themes — identity, bravery, courage, independence, and taking up space. Together, they help us release ego wounds, identity wounds, feelings of insignificance, and patterns that diminish our self‑worth. They help us move toward growth, authenticity, and our future‑oriented self.
Our mind is also being upgraded. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and Uranus retrograde in Gemini are reshaping how we think, how we interpret emotional information, and how we understand our wounds. We are re‑evaluating where we feel hurt, where we feel insecure, where we feel small, and how those wounds hinder our ability to connect deeply with others. We are being asked to surrender old stories — the ones that keep us stuck, reactive, or afraid — so we can move forward with clarity and courage.
This is a day of emotional truth. A day of relational honesty. A day of identity healing. A day where the heart and the wound meet — not to break us, but to free us.
What it feels like: Today feels tender, emotional, and revealing. You may feel sensitive, insecure, or aware of old wounds resurfacing. You may feel pulled between wanting connection and wanting protection. There is a sense of déjà vu — like you’ve been here before — but now you have more awareness, more clarity, and more courage. The emotions may feel sharp, but they are purposeful.
Positive expressions: This energy supports deep relational healing, identity strengthening, emotional honesty, and self‑worth recalibration. Venus retrograde helps you understand your relational patterns. Chiron helps you heal your identity wounds. The Mystic Rectangle provides support and balance. Mercury retrograde helps you reinterpret old stories. Uranus retrograde helps you see differently. This is a powerful day for breakthroughs in self‑worth, connection, and emotional truth.
Shadow expressions: The shadow may show up as defensiveness, withdrawal, projection, fear of vulnerability, or clinging to old identity wounds. Chiron can amplify insecurity. Venus retrograde can heighten sensitivity. Pluto can intensify fear or control. Scorpio can amplify emotional depth. The shadow is reacting from old wounds rather than responding from present truth.
The invitation: Let yourself heal. Let yourself feel. Let yourself release the old story. Allow Venus retrograde to recalibrate your values. Allow Chiron retrograde to strengthen your identity. Allow Mercury retrograde to rewrite your mental patterns. Allow Uranus retrograde to open your mind. You are being asked to move toward your future self — the one who is brave, authentic, connected, and whole. This is a moment of deep healing, deep clarity, and deep transformation.
Healing opportunity & Actionable Step:
Healing the Wound That Says “I Don’t Matter”
Aligned with Venus Rx opposite Chiron Rx — relational healing, identity wounds, and self-worth recalibration.
Positive Expression: Deep relational healing, identity strengthening, emotional honesty, and self-worth recalibration. Understanding your relational patterns. Healing identity wounds. Reinterpreting old stories. Breakthroughs in self-worth, connection, and emotional truth.
Shadow Expression: Defensiveness, withdrawal, projection, fear of vulnerability, or clinging to old identity wounds. Amplified insecurity. Heightened sensitivity. Reacting from old wounds rather than responding from present truth.
Actionable Step: Journal: What old wound around my worth, my voice, or my right to take up space is surfacing right now? Where did it first take root? What story have I been telling myself about my value? Is that story true, or is it based on fear? What would it feel like to release that old story and step into a truer, more empowered version of myself? Then, do one small, brave thing that reflects your worth—speak up, set a boundary, or simply acknowledge that you matter. Let yourself heal. Let yourself feel. Let yourself release the old story.
Friday, October 30th: Venus Rx (Libra) trine North Node; Mercury Rx (Scorpio) square Mars (Leo)
On Friday, two transits repeat themselves for the second time, but now Venus & Mercury are in their Retrograde cycle:
- Venus retrograde trine the North Node (first pass: September 9th)
- Mercury retrograde square Mars (first pass: October 2nd)
These transits continue stories that began on those dates. Looking back to what was happening around those times can offer personal context — the themes, conversations, wounds, or relational dynamics that were emerging then are resurfacing now for deeper integration.
Venus retrograde in Libra trining the North Node in Aquarius brings internal shifts around values, self‑worth, relationships, and what you want to grow. Venus is retrograde, so this trine is not outward expansion — it is inward alignment. Something inside is recalibrating. You may be recognizing what truly matters, what feels authentic, what supports your growth, and what you want to build moving forward.
Mercury retrograde in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo brings tension between thought and action, perception and reaction, mind and instinct. Mercury retrograde is helping you rethink how you respond, how you act, what energizes you, what drains you, and what you no longer have the capacity to carry. Mars in Leo can react from pride, ego, or wounded identity — and Mercury retrograde can amplify assumptions or internal narratives that need to be re‑examined. This square is asking you to pause, reflect, and respond consciously rather than react impulsively.
The Sun is in a Yod, ruled by Mars and Pluto. The Sun in Scorpio is quincunx Uranus retrograde in Gemini (mental upgrades, shifts in thinking) and quincunx Saturn retrograde in Aries (deep psychological foundation, emotional responsibility, inner structure). Saturn is ruled by Mars, and the Sun is ruled by Mars/Pluto — meaning both the Sun and Saturn are ultimately being filtered through Mars, who is currently square Mercury retrograde.
Yods require adjustment. They point to what must shift. This Yod is asking you to adjust your identity, your emotional attachments, and your mental habits — especially the ones that once made you feel stable, energized, or supported but now feel outdated or draining. You are re‑evaluating what needs to change in order to bring fulfillment, balance, and clarity back into your life.
This is a period of letting go — letting go of old identity wounds, old ego patterns, old mental habits, old emotional attachments, and old stories that no longer serve your growth. Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde are working together in Scorpio to purge wounded reactions, patterns, and attachments. The Yod highlights the exact points where adjustment is needed.
What it feels like: Today feels introspective, emotionally charged, and mentally active. You may feel pulled toward growth but also aware of what needs to be released. You may feel sensitive, reactive, or aware of old patterns resurfacing. There is a sense of internal pressure — not destructive, but transformative. You may feel like you’re shedding something.
Positive expressions: This energy supports internal growth, relational clarity, mental recalibration, and emotional healing. Venus retrograde helps you align with your values. The North Node helps you move toward your future. Mercury retrograde helps you rethink your reactions. Mars helps you act with courage. The Yod helps you adjust your identity and emotional attachments. This is a powerful day for inner transformation.
Shadow expressions: The shadow may show up as defensiveness, pride, assumptions, mental spiraling, or clinging to old patterns. Mars can react impulsively. Mercury retrograde can distort perception. Saturn retrograde can amplify insecurity. Uranus retrograde can destabilize thinking. The shadow is reacting from old wounds rather than responding from present truth.
The invitation: Let go. Adjust. Recalibrate. Reflect. Respond consciously. Venus retrograde is aligning your values. Mercury retrograde is reshaping your mind. Mars is showing you where your reactions come from. The Sun’s Yod is pointing to what must shift. This is a moment of internal transformation — a chance to release old stories, heal old wounds, and move toward a more authentic, empowered version of yourself.
Healing opportunity & Actionable Step:
Pausing Before Reacting—and Choosing Growth Over Old Patterns
Aligned with Venus Rx trine North Node (internal alignment) and Mercury Rx square Mars (tension between thought and action).
Positive Expression: Internal growth, relational clarity, mental recalibration, and emotional healing. Aligning with your values. Moving toward your future. Rethinking your reactions. Acting with courage. Adjusting your identity and emotional attachments.
Shadow Expression: Defensiveness, pride, assumptions, mental spiraling, or clinging to old patterns. Reacting impulsively. Distorted perception. Amplified insecurity. Destabilized thinking. Reacting from old wounds rather than responding from present truth.
Actionable Step: When you feel triggered today, pause. Journal: What am I feeling right now—anger, fear, pride, insecurity? What old wound is being touched? What story am I telling myself about what was said or done? Is this story true, or is it based on fear? What would it look like to respond consciously instead of reacting impulsively? Then, choose one small adjustment—take a breath before responding, ask a question instead of assuming, or simply walk away and return when you’re grounded. Let go. Adjust. Recalibrate. Reflect. Respond consciously. This is a moment of internal transformation—a chance to release old stories, heal old wounds, and move toward a more authentic, empowered version of yourself.
Healing Mantra for the Week:
“I release what no longer brings me comfort. I feel what needs to be felt. I heal what has been wounded. I move toward my future self. I am evolving into the person I want to become.”
Psychology Fact:
Attachment Theory & The Neuroscience of Conscious Choice
Research on attachment theory (Bowlby, Ainsworth) shows that our early relational experiences shape the attachment styles we carry into adulthood—patterns of seeking safety, security, and connection. There are four primary attachment styles: secure (comfortable with intimacy and independence), anxious-preoccupied (craving closeness, fearing abandonment), dismissive-avoidant (valuing independence, uncomfortable with closeness), and fearful-avoidant (desiring connection but fearing it). These styles are not flaws—they are survival strategies formed to keep us safe. But they often outlive their usefulness. The brain’s default mode network (DMN) and limbic system hold these patterns as implicit memory—automatic responses that feel natural but may no longer serve us. Here’s the key: research on neuroplasticity shows that attachment styles are not fixed. The brain can form new neural pathways through corrective relational experiences—consistent, safe, and responsive interactions that teach the nervous system that connection can be safe. But before we can choose a new pattern, we must first recognize the old one. When we bring awareness to our attachment patterns—without judgment—the prefrontal cortex activates and the amygdala calms down. This creates space between stimulus and response—the gap where conscious choice lives. We cannot choose what we don’t see. Awareness is the first act of freedom.
Relevance: The Taurus Full Moon asks us to reassess what truly makes us feel secure. Venus Rx opposite Chiron and the squares to Pluto, brings old worth wounds and attachment patterns to the surface. Mercury Rx square Mars asks us to pause before reacting from those patterns. The shadow is clinging to old attachments out of fear or familiarity. The healing is to recognize our patterns, understand where they came from, and consciously choose something new.
Practice: When you notice yourself reacting in a relationship or clinging to a pattern that no longer serves you:
1. Name the Pattern: Ask: “Which attachment pattern is showing up right now—anxious, avoidant, fearful-avoidant, or secure? What am I afraid of losing or not getting?”
2. Trace It Back: Ask: “Where did I first learn this pattern? What was it trying to protect me from?”
3. Validate the Protection: Say: “This pattern kept me safe once. It was my way of surviving. I honor that.”
4. Choose Consciously: Ask: “What would a secure, grounded response look like here? What do I actually need right now—not from fear, but from worth?”
5. Take One Small Step: Do one thing that reflects secure attachment—communicate a need clearly, set a boundary, or simply pause before reacting.
6. Journal After: “The pattern I noticed was ________. Where it came from was ________. What I chose instead was ________. What I learned is ________.”
This practice transforms unconscious attachment patterns into conscious choices. You are not your patterns. You are someone who is learning to see them, honor them, and choose differently—one conscious step at a time.
Shadow Journal Prompts: (for the whole week)
- What Did I Once Value That No Longer Brings Me the Same Comfort? The Taurus Full Moon and Sun square Pluto ask us to reassess what truly makes us feel secure and to release what no longer serves.
Think about the things you’ve valued—security, comfort, relationships, identities, beliefs. What did you once cling to that no longer feels comforting or secure? What has shifted inside you? What do you truly desire now—something deeper? What old comfort, pattern, or attachment are you ready to release so you can make space for what actually nourishes you? What would it feel like to choose something deeper, even if it’s unfamiliar? - What Is My Body Trying to Tell Me About What I Need? The Taurus Moon is deeply connected to the body, the senses, and physical security.
The Taurus Full Moon asks us to listen to the body. What is your body trying to tell you right now—about rest, nourishment, safety, or boundaries? Where are you holding tension? Where are you ignoring your own needs? What would it feel like to honor your body’s wisdom today—to give yourself what you truly need, not what you think you should need? What is one small, physical act of care you can offer yourself today? - What Old Wound Around My Worth Is Surfacing? Venus Rx opposite Chiron brings identity wounds and self-worth patterns to the surface for healing.
What old wound around your worth, your voice, or your right to take up space is surfacing right now? Where did it first take root? What story have you been telling yourself about your value—that you’re not enough, too much, unlovable, or invisible? Is that story true, or is it based on fear? What would it feel like to release that old story and step into a truer, more empowered version of yourself? What’s one small, brave thing you can do today to honor your worth? - What Is My Heart Aligning With Right Now? Venus Rx trine the North Node brings internal shifts around values, self-worth, and what you want to grow.
Something inside you is recalibrating. What are you recognizing about what truly matters? What feels authentic and aligned with who you’re becoming? What supports your growth—and what no longer does? If you listened to that quiet inner knowing, what would you say yes to? What would you release? Where is your heart pulling you toward your future self? - What Old Pattern Am I Ready to Stop Reacting From? Mercury Rx square Mars brings tension between thought and action—asking us to pause, reflect, and respond consciously.
Think of a recent moment when you reacted strongly—defensiveness, anger, withdrawal, or impulsive action. What old wound was being touched? What story were you telling yourself about what was said or done? Was that story true, or was it based on fear? If you could pause before reacting, what would you choose instead? What old pattern are you ready to release—so you can respond from awareness instead of reaction?
