Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of Oct 25, 2026 – Oct 31, 2026:
As we start this week, on Sunday, Venus leaves Scorpio behind and retrogrades back into Libra. Venus is at home in Libra, the sign it co-rules with Taurus. The Libra version is all about objectivity, tact, diplomacy and grace. It’s about striving for harmony in relationships and interacting socially with others rather than engaging in conflict.
It’s also about appearances: looking good and surrounding yourself with beauty. Playing nice — even if it means setting your own interests aside in order to accommodate others. It’s about partnership, cooperation and collaboration. This is an agreeable, conciliatory energy that you can use to your advantage, as it brings people together whose main objective is to get along.
The Sun squares Pluto on Monday. This transit can be volatile, especially if it’s activating any of the harder aspects in your natal chart. It pits the planet that represents your core identity, ego, and will (the Sun) against the planet that rules power, forcefulness, and control issues (Pluto). It can erupt into power struggles or confrontations with others. Intense anger (rage), trust issues and overreactions are all potential manifestations of this transit,
Also on Monday, we have a Full Moon at 2° Taurus 45′. This occurs at 4:11 am UT (or 12:11 am EDT). The October Full Moon — called the Hunter’s Moon — provides an overview of the progress you’ve made since its New Moon counterpoint earlier this month.
Seeds that were planted then will surely have sprouted; do you need to make adjustments or change your course entirely? Now is the time to think about what you’ve accomplished and where you want to go from here.
Because it’s in Taurus, you are likely to be thinking a lot about your finances, your income, earnings and savings. It‘s also a good time to look at changes you want to make in your environment (such as home renovations or landscaping) as well.
As Taurus is a fixed, feminine earth sign, it’s a good time to think about our value systems, the things that we hold near and dear, which, as most of us know by now, are not always “things.” We can put good use to this energy by thinking about what is most meaningful for us, and what we can do to cultivate it during this time.
On Tuesday, the Taurus Moon squares Mars and then opposes Mercury. This creates a fixed T-square with Mars at the apex. On a personal level, you may have to steer clear of confrontations with those who are acting like children, sulking, pouting, holding on to arguments that should have been resolved. Or you could find yourself exposed to situations on a global level involving strife, conflict, and war.
Whatever form this takes, keep in mind that the transit itself is fleeting and ephemeral. The conflicts you find yourself dealing with are unfortunately not. You can use this time, though, to think about what you really feel and whose side you’re really on. Because the Taurus Moon brings stubbornness and rigidity to an already tense dynamic, you’ll want to steer clear of confrontational people, lest you find yourself caught in the middle of a disagreement that no one can win.
There’s an opposition between Venus and Chiron on Wednesday. Here you’re pitting the planet that rules kindness and cooperation (Venus) against the planet that rules empathy and self-sacrifice (Chiron). With this transit, you have to be careful not to allow your empathy and compassion to override your need for self-care. With this aspect, there’s a tendency to sacrifice your own needs in order to attend to those of others.
With both of these bodies currently retrograde, you’re likely to be turning inward and looking for ways to restore equilibrium. Are you struggling with doubts and insecurities about your own self-worth? Or are you striving to let go of associations that have held you back or prevented you from achieving personal fulfillment? These are Venus opposite Chiron motifs. Keep in mind that the goal with all oppositions is “forced integration.” In this case, with Venus opposing Chiron, you’ll need to implement some boundaries to find that middle ground.
On Thursday, the Moon in Gemini will sextile Mars and then go void of course at around 9:45 pm. The Moon-Mars transit is relatively gentle and fleeting. As the Moon moves around 12-13° per day, its sextile to Mars will only be in effect for a few hours. But it’s a fairly congenial transit, good for socializing and interacting with others, whether face-to-face or online.
As the Moon is tied to feelings and emotions, and Mars is associated with energy and activity, this week could be a great time for lively discussions with those you feel especially close with. Later in the evening, when the Moon goes void, it may feel more like winding down and getting cozy in your PJs.
But don’t get too comfortable, as the Mercury square Mars aspect that completes on Friday may make it hard for anyone to see eye to eye. This aspect suggests that communications may be tempestuous, so consider taking a breath and counting to 10 before you speak — especially if you believe that what you say can come across to others as angry or abrasive.
This transit can manifest as harsh words, confrontations, temper tantrums, aggressive speech, and impatience. And it can also be careless and/or reckless, which can translate into being accident-prone. Pay attention to where these planets are transiting through your natal chart. Especially pay attention to any planets they may be aspecting. With both these planets in fixed signs, and with Mercury retrograde, you want to watch your step, in more ways than one.
On Saturday, the Moon — still full — moves into Cancer, the sign it rules. This is the last official day of the Full Moon, as it will move into the third quarter phase on Sunday. Whether you’re out celebrating Halloween with friends and family or staying home handing out treats to the ghouls and goblins at your door, this is a great time for connecting with others and for making everyone feel welcome.
The Moon in Cancer tends to bring the focus to things like home, family, heritage and security issues, and these are the areas most likely to be front and center. This is a good time to reach out and touch someone, maybe even someone from your past, in honor of the current Venus retrograde. As the Moon is in Cancer for the entire weekend, the main emphasis should be on relationships with those who are nearest and dearest to your heart. So take time to connect with family members or with those who make up your tribe.
That’s it for this week. See you next week!
