Mercury in Scorpio

The most talked about planet in the cosmos, Mercury rules our minds. As it travels through the zodiac, our mental processing becomes shaped by whichever sign is currently influencing the planet, including our thinking, learning, sharing, and communicating.

When Mercury enters the water sign of Scorpio on October 6, 2025, our minds fall under the influence of a sign whose tendency is to explore our depths, mysteries, desires, and anything else that exists beneath the unconscious surface of ourselves. Our thinking become determined, powerful, and laser focused and we become better able to listen to and observe what lies beyond the spoken and the seen so that we can understand what drives each word, thought, reaction, and action.

Our awareness remains heightened until Mercury transits out of Scorpio on October 29, 2025.

Full Moon in Aries

Hours after Mercury enters Scorpio, the Moon meets her fullness in Aries.

In astrology, the Moon is our emotional world. She defines the realm of our sensitivities, memories, and unconscious and rules over our intuition, knowing, and our ability to release and become. When full, the Moon acts as an illuminating mirror into not only our cosmos but our awareness, related not just to clarity in sight but in what we feel. Whatever exists that remains unknown, unfelt, unseen, and unexplored, the Moon brings to the surface.

Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is dedicated to the self and the will to continue. It brings a profound focus on the self and it wants to say yes to every experience. It wants to try, feel, act, fail, transform, and truly experience life. It is a sign that remembers our instincts and desires are encoded with sacred purpose and potential for evolution.

The full Moon in Aries is a release of old patterns in our psyches that have been existing unseen. It is a revealing and a letting go of awarenesses that are just being brought to our sight. Whatever keeps us from our utmost version of ourselves is wanting to be released. Whatever keeps us from moving after what we desire is asking to be let go. It’s a full Moon of fire and empowerment that asks us to commit to whatever makes us feel more alive, real, and true to ourselves.

Mercury in Scorpio Square Pluto in Aquarius

As Mercury enters Scorpio, it quickly comes into a dance with Pluto retrograde, forming a square aspect on October 7, 2025. Squares are aspects of 90 degrees and while rarely described as comfortable or easy, they are highly transformative. Any planets in square with one another are offered a profound amount of energy for the purpose of movement, change, and empowerment.

Think of this square as a dance that brings unconscious patterns to the surface for us to observe and transform. It is through these moments of rare observation that we understand the depths of our unconscious and become aware of patterns that exist deep within the psyche, and it is an opportunity to transform how we think, see, speak, and relate.

On this day, our minds welcome us into our emotions, narratives, and stories that are ready to become undone. Patterns of control—whether controlling or being controlled—are ready to shift. Fear that are ready to be seen from the eyes of empowerment. Unconscious material ready to be brought to the light – whether within ourselves, with another, or as we look out to this larger collective body of which we are all interwoven.

Venus in Virgo Opposite Saturn in Pisces

Another cosmic dance, another aspect, another story being told in our cosmos begins on October 11, 2025, when Venus in Virgo sits directly opposite Saturn retrograde in Pisces.

This aspect brings a quiet clarification of our sense of love and worth. It asks us to sit with our understanding of what is real, what is sustainable, and what must shift. It prompts us to quietly reconsider our everyday expression of boundaries, balance, and self-respect. Are our relationships, values, or commitments balanced, sustainable, and built upon mutual respect? Are we holding ourselves to impossible standards? Are we honoring our worth and our right to true love?

As we explore these areas through quiet mindfulness, it helps to ask what relational patterns, narratives around self-worth, and expired commitments are we needing to sit with and review? How can we welcome more of ourselves to the surface?

Weekly Horoscope, October 5-11, 2025

This week is transformative in terms of the awarenesses that surface and the potentials for release. Not in a way that takes us further from ourselves but in a way that feels more real than ever before. The days ahead ask you to simply honor yourself. Read for your rising sign.

Aries Rising

Unconscious patterns. Fears of being seen. These eventually present as issues for the very purpose of overcoming them. They arise with the intention of affirming all that you are becoming, reminding you of your strength, and supporting your forward movement.

Taurus Rising

Old relational dynamics and misplaced authority outside of yourself tend to keep you from pleasure and self-expression. This week supports the release of old stories around fitting in and belonging. Consider it a closing of a chapter and a releasing from your body, psyche, and beyond.

Gemini Rising

Much is shifting within and around you. The faith you hold in yourself, your future, the support and opportunity held within this world. The way you honour your emotions, inner world, sensitivities and the way you honour your strength, authority, and vision for your future. And the way you believe you belong – in your body, and in this world.

Cancer Rising

It’s a week of empowerment. Where softness is strength, your sensitivity is power, and intuition leads with authority. It’s a week of releasing the fears and patterns keeping you from leading your life, being seen in your truth, and building based on passion and desire. Will you let yourself be transformed?

Leo Rising

Old perspectives or narratives that keep you from trusting in, and fully experiencing, this life, are ready to be released. Allow yourself space to become quiet and allow for insights into your internal patterns, relational dynamics, longheld beliefs, and unexamined perspectives to come more readily this week. Explore the ways you’d like to allow yourself to be supported—emotionally, financially, intuitively, and any other ways.

Virgo Rising

In the days ahead, let the lines blur as mind merges with body, logic with emotion, and conscious with unconscious. Can you let old stories untangle within your mind so you can rewrite them with your thoughts? Can you accept your worth?

Libra Rising

Much of your everyday life is undergoing review and renewal. Self-expression. Worth. Tendencies to over give and under receive. Imbalanced relational dynamics. And an ability to receive support—through money, food, beauty, and everyday habits. Each of these acts of self-care are asking to be held and considered in a new way.

Scorpio Rising

Your weekly horoscope holds a mirror up and helps your sight and self-awareness become clearer around old family dynamics, fears related to honoring yourself, and relationships that ask you to abandon your truest expression. If you choose to look into this mirror and draw on whatever supports your sense of self, you emerge empowered and transformed.

Sagittarius Rising

Dreams speak and intuition heightens. This is a week to honor your ability to see beyond the surface and feel beyond spoken words. Meditation, journaling, inner reflection reveal more. While a rebalancing of your long-term commitments asks you to release all that has kept you from taking up space and honouring your truth.

Capricorn Rising

Old patterns of belonging, fitting in, and feeling safe are ready for change. Inherited emotional dynamics are ready to be met with new eyes. Previous narratives regarding your voice, perspectives, intuition, and being heard are ready for an update. Allow yourself to breathe out and pause as you let the moment hold you.

Aquarius Rising

The transits this week share a renewal of your identity and self-authority. The Moon and the stars are asking you to release what you no longer desire to hold—namely, whatever feels restrictive, disempowering, or keeping you from being seen, sharing your truth, and pursuing your visions.

Pisces Rising

The week supports you in clearing whatever keeps you from accepting, allowing, and receiving everything you desire. Life wants to offer you wisdom, love, and abundance. Ask yourself what you can do to help any old stories related to lack of worth to release, whether through meditation, journaling, or quiet time.
