The week of October 18-24 is like a river that carries us forward into whatever comes next. There’s so much elemental water in the week ahead that the best move is really just to flow with it as much as you can.
Sunday evening, the moon enters objective Aquarius, affording some intellectual distance from the drama but not being able to get very far. On Monday, retrograding Venus collides back with Pluto, activating the relational intensity that characterized mid-September. When the planet of relationships confronts triggering Pluto, feelings hit the extremes. Ultimatums can pop up, and different relationships can hit major turning points. Anything unresolved from September 10-15 is likely to get heated again.
This tension will carry through the first portion of the week, until Wednesday morning, when the Moon enters Pisces. In the watery place of Pisces, the dissociation of Aquarius dissolves into a nearly oceanic capacity for empathy. Cue the feelings of overwhelm. It’s a cathartic few days as the emotional weight of everything comes to the forefront. Resisting it will only make it harder, so find a safe place to process everything flowing through your heart.
By Friday morning, the sun, too, enters a water sign, and the 2026 Scorpio season begins. Half a day later, the Moon hoists itself into Aries and warms itself with cardinal fire. But just at the edge of Scorpio, the sun comes together with retrograde Venus for the sacred moment called the cazimi.
