Mercury enters Scorpio
In preparation for Scorpio season later in the month, Mercury enters these Pluto-ruled waters this week, October 13, 2024, and stays there until November 2, 2024.
In astrology, Mercury is our spirit. It influences and shapes our thinking, perception and mental processing. As it evolves according to the signs of the zodiac, our minds and our communication evolve with it.
In Scorpio, the planet invites the depth of our reflection. It strengthens our intuition and opens a line of communication between the conscious and unconscious mind. It provides a psychological framework through which we see, perceive and think. And this gives sharpness, dynamism and determination to our communication and our mental world.
As Mercury crosses the waters of Scorpio, we are in communication with our psyche, our intuition and our subconscious. We are offered a heightened perception of truth and are able to look beyond the words and into the energy, emotion and dynamics behind the words. And we are determined to break through the facades and reach the heart of what bears our name.
Sun Square Mars
As the Sun continues to travel through Libra, it enters a direct square with Mars in Cancer on October 14, 2024. On this day, the energy that has been building throughout the month culminates.
The Sun in Libra welcomes peace, harmony, beauty and balance. Mars in Cancer moves through our emotional body, moving what has become stagnant, igniting what has not been felt. This day may bring up tension and heightened emotion, although as always we observe the invitations below.
When the Sun squares Mars, we are asked to move, express, feel and transform. We eliminate stagnation from within. We observe what lives within us waiting to be expressed. We realize passions, knowledge, hurts, excitements and needs that have gone unnoticed. And we take this idea and channel it into forward momentum through your weekly horoscope.
Full Moon in Aries
Welcome to the October Full Moon in the fire sign of Aries on October 17, 2024. Sometimes advice from above and within whispers in the winds. Other times, it’s like finding yourself in the flames, unable to get away from it. This lunation is the last. Aries holds presence, strength and power. It’s anything but subtle.
The Full Moon speaks to our emotional world. Our unconscious. Our intuition. Our inner world unknown to others. Throughout its cycles, it invites us to move forward with it. In encountering its fullness, it invites us to encounter the fullness of ourselves – known and unknown, desired and unwanted. Like a mirror, it reflects back to us everything that is waiting to be seen. What is revealed here releases hurts, fears and unhealthy patterns.
Venus enters Sagittarius
In addition to the fire of the full Moon, Venus enters the fire sign of Sagittarius a few hours later on October 17, 2024. In astrology, Venus speaks to our inner worth, our magnetism, our pleasure, our abundance and of our beauty. She is a partner. She is grace. She is art, love and fulfillment. She is the embodiment of inner values.
When Venus enters Sagittarius, we feel a sense of optimism, adventure, and passion. We broaden the lens through which we view ourselves, others, and the world. And we observe the beauty around us, express our love generously and boldly, and live life more.
Weekly horoscope from October 13 to 19, 2024
It’s a week of transformation, intuition, feeling and expression that provides insight into who you are. Welcome greater movement into your life, whether it is a movement of the mind through journaling or conversation, a movement of the body in an empowering and enriching way, or a movement of emotion through all of the above. You transform emotions through expression. The invitation from the cosmos is to offer you empowering channels of emotional expression. Your weekly horoscope explains how.
Aries rising
This week marks the end of a chapter. It allows you to peer into the depths of yourself with heightened intuition, to observe what lives within you, conscious and unconscious. It invites an end to fears, wounds and patterns through inner revelation, transformation and empowerment.
Taurus rising
Liberation and surrender are calling to you this week. There is transformation and accountability in publishing what is ready to end. It is an intuitive week, which invites retreat and space. Your weekly horoscope is an opportunity for vulnerability and intimacy with yourself and your chosen people.
Gemini ascendant
There is an innate living quality in all existence: evolution. This week reflects this quality in you, whether through tension, passion, emotion or knowledge. This invites closure so you can continue to evolve. It invites transformation so that you can direct your vision towards your enthusiasms, your motivations and your greatest desires.
Cancer on the rise
Inner waters stir beneath the surface: emotions, patterns, intuitions and knowledge. This week invites this stirring to meet its expression. To move through you and reveal truths, guidance and clarity. It invites the closure of diagrams and the end of a chapter around your career, your visibility and your legacy.
Leo ascending
During this week, it invites creativity and play, but it also invites the release of perceptions, truths, and ideas that simply don’t encompass the vastness of you or your life. This week reveals long-held inner patterns, perceptions and emotions. Your new awareness allows the emergence of a new way of seeing.
Virgo ascendant
This week invites vulnerability. It welcomes intimacy with yourself, with everything that exists within you, with your chosen people, and with life itself. It’s a week to shed layers and encounter inner transformation. It is a line of communication through which your knowledge, your body, your intuition and your unconscious can communicate.
Libra ascending
As the Sun continues in your sign, this week invites both empowerment and closure related to your old ways of connecting with and moving through the world. It’s a week of increased passion and insight around your long-term visions and goals. And it’s a week of beauty, adventure and opening your mind.
Scorpio Ascendant
This week accentuates what is perhaps a lifelong journey, Scorpio Rising. The continual withdrawal of who we know ourselves to be, only to refine and resonate deeper with what is us. It is a week that welcomes old ways of being, habits, perspectives and identities into our consciousness. With this awareness you can choose something new.
Sagittarius ascendant
More happiness is calling you. Your weekly horoscope invites you to open up so that life can reach you. The medicine is found in laughter, creative expression and play. Allow what needs to be transformed inside to be able to do so outside.
Capricorn ascendant
This week touches your emotional body. It brings to the surface what lives inside to release it. It invites you beyond the surface so that you can create more of a home within yourself, more connection with your intuition, and more depth and perspective with your life.
Aquarius rising
Your mind is ready for a change. Release old beliefs. New perspectives emerge. Ways of seeing and observing open to orientation, ideas and intuition. This week, allow yourself to question what exists in your mind. There is always more to reveal. There are always different ways of looking at things.
Pisces ascending
It’s a week that welcomes you home, into your body. This will allow you to feel grounded and secure within yourself. Thus, you can welcome greater self-esteem and the embodiment of your worth. It is through better communication with your physicality that happiness, long-term vision and increased intuition await you.
