Week of October 26 – November 1, 2026:

This week begins with a Full Moon in Taurus, bringing attention to the balance between emotional security, stability, and the deeper concerns associated with Scorpio.
The Sun continues its journey through Scorpio, while Mercury remains retrograde in the same sign.
Venus, also retrograde, has returned to Libra after its recent passage through Scorpio.
With both Mercury and Venus moving backward, the week emphasizes reconsideration, unresolved matters, and the need to reassess previous decisions, particularly in relationships and personal affairs. When possible, it may be wise to postpone major new decisions until these retrograde periods have ended.

The Full Moon at 2°45′ Taurus opens the week, highlighting the opposition between the practical, security-oriented nature of Taurus and Scorpio’s tendency to examine what lies beneath the surface.
Matters involving possessions, resources, emotional attachments, and personal priorities may become more prominent. With Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, information or conversations from the past may also influence how current circumstances are understood.

The Sun in Scorpio forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius, bringing questions of power, control, and competing interests into focus.
Tensions may arise when established positions are challenged or when individuals and groups resist changes that affect their influence. This configuration can expose underlying disagreements and make compromise more difficult, particularly when neither side is willing to reconsider its position.

Venus retrograde in Libra opposes retrograde Chiron in Aries, potentially bringing unresolved sensitivities to the surface, particularly those involving personal needs, independence, and the expectations of others.
Past relationship experiences may become relevant again, offering an opportunity to reconsider patterns of interaction and unresolved differences.

The Sun forms a quincunx with Uranus in Gemini, introducing an element of unpredictability into plans and established routines.
Differences between Scorpio’s preference for depth and control and Uranus in Gemini’s inclination toward change and experimentation may require adjustments, particularly in communication and the handling of new information.

Mercury retrograde in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo, increasing the potential for disagreements, impatient reactions, and confrontational communication. Strong opinions and personal sensitivities may make discussions more difficult, especially when earlier disputes or unresolved questions return.
It may be worth reviewing information carefully before responding or making decisions based on incomplete understanding.

As the week draws to a close, the Sun forms a quincunx with retrograde Saturn in Aries.
This aspect may highlight a mismatch between current priorities and existing responsibilities, requiring adjustments to plans, expectations, or commitments.
Progress may depend on recognizing practical limitations without abandoning longer-term objectives.

The Moon travels through Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and Leo during the week.
Following the Full Moon in Taurus, its passage through Gemini brings greater attention to communication, information, and everyday interactions.
In Cancer, emotional and domestic concerns become more prominent, while its movement into Leo toward the weekend shifts attention toward self-expression, creativity, and personal recognition.

Overall, as Scorpio season continues, the combination of retrograde Mercury and Venus with the week’s challenging planetary aspects may bring unresolved issues into focus, some of which could resurface after the retrograde periods have ended. Disagreements or competing interests may complicate matters further, but not every issue requires an immediate resolution.

Daylight Saving Time ends on October 25 across most of Europe and several other regions, with clocks moving back one hour.
On November 1, most of the United States and parts of Canada also return to standard time.
