On Monday, October 7, Mercury, the planet of communication, faces off with Uranus, the planet of surprises, bringing tension that generates a lot of mental activity, nervousness, and accidents. Uranus is unpredictable and likes to go against the grain, and right now there’s a collective urge to be provocative and edgy.

While there is electricity in the air and an inability to predict what comes next, we’re clinging to something familiar and practical as the sun clashes with serious Saturn on Monday. A serious commitment is made, and we’re acting out of practical interests even though it’s more appealing to be on the cutting edge now, thanks to Uranus’s presence.

The planet of love and beauty, Venus, enters secretive Scorpio on Tuesday, October 8. Venus isn’t comfortably at home in Scorpio, like it is in Scorpio’s opposite sign, Taurus. Venus in Scorpio is not your average aesthetic; goth and macabre looks are appealing and appropriate for Halloween.

On Saturday, October 12, Venus faces off with rebellious Uranus, bringing unpredictability in the things people say, as well as in our relationships. There’s agitation and tension in the air—a compromise must be made, willingly, for both parties to be satisfied. This can also be a creative and inventive aspect where things get experimental in terms of fashion and art.

The week ends with a planetary crescendo: A full moon in Aries on Sunday, October 13! While Libra season is about understanding your relationships and breathing life into those that matter the most to you, this full moon highlights the importance of the individual in relationships. A relationship is two or more individuals, anyway, so this is the time to check in on how you feel in any sort of relationship: romantic, platonic, professional, familial, or even impersonal. The sun gently harmonizes with optimistic Jupiter, encouraging bubbly and open conversations.

All times ET.
