There’s a lot happening in the sky this week. First on the 20th, Mercury meets Mars in Scorpio bringing hot takes and sharp tongues. Then on the 21st, there’s a new moon in Libra, a chance to reset the scales and set goals around love and beauty. 

Scorpio season begins on the 22nd. Happy birthday to all of our favorite mysterious and protective babes. On the same day, Neptune—which has been in bold Aries since March—goes back into Pisces, pulling us back into some compassionate (and sometimes overwhelming) emotional waters.

The spooky season vibes will be in full force on the 24th when the sun squares off with Pluto bringing intensity, obsession and extremes. Something might need to be purged. Mercury connects with hopeful Jupiter on the 24th and then disciplined Saturn on the 25th—these aspects encourage expansive and pragmatic future planning.
