Mercury Conjunct Mars in Scorpio

The conjunction of Mercury and Mars takes place this week on October 20, 2025. A conjunction is the coming together of two or more planetary bodies in our cosmos. As it happens, the planets’ vibrations mix and merge, as if forming a new planetary essence for the duration of the conjunction.

In astrology, Mercury is the mind, communication, and thought, whereas Mars is action, passion, and will power. Scorpio, the sign holding their conjunction, is depth, transformation, and intuition. As we blend these energies, we experience heightened communication and expression, sensitized intuition, and enhanced awareness of our unconscious dynamics.

This day is a reminder of the immense power within our thoughts, words, and actions, whether they are encouraging, accepting, and supportive or the opposite. And it is an understanding that empowerment comes through truth, intention, and conscious expression of our wants, needs, and authentic selves.

New Moon in Libra

The next day, the Moon conjuncts the Sun and begins a new cycle in Libra, bringing us the new Moon on October 21, 2025.

Libra is a sign of balance, harmony, and beauty directed outwardly in relationship, whereas the Moon is our most innermost landscape, emotions, and needs. The lunation this week brings awareness to our relational patterns. As the Moon begins a new cycle under the influence of these themes, we are invited to do the same.

The topics up for review relate to collaborating, sharing, being seen, compromising, giving, receiving, connecting, and more. Specifically, anything and everything—known and unknown, conscious and unconscious—that exists within our bodies, minds, and beyond and keeps us from love, connection, intimacy, and balance within our relationships. On this night, the Moon becomes a mirror. What she reflects in our emotional needs, patterns, and dynamics arrives paired with the energy and support for its healing and transformation.

Neptune Retrograde Reenters Pisces

Retrograde since July, Neptune has been in a chapter of profound transition. On October 22, 2025, a pivotal step within this transition takes place as Neptune reenters Pisces.

Neptune entered Aries for the first time in 150 years in March of this year. Yet being such a slow-moving planet, Neptune took just one step forward in Aries before initiating its retrograde and taking that same step backward. Defining entire eras and generations, Neptune will officially begin its next 165-year cycle when it reenters Aries once again in 2026. But this does not take place until after its final moments in Pisces.

Neptune retrograde reentering Pisces is a time of profound closure, clearing, release, and letting go. We are ending cycles that extend beyond our individual lives. We are closing chapters that we and our parents and their parents and their parents before them were born into. We are clearing the space for something spectacularly different and bold to begin.

Neptune will remain in Pisces until January 26, 2026, and it will be retrograde until December 10, 2025. This is a space of cycles—both collective and individual, conscious and unconscious—drawing to a close. Intuition may become sharper. Illusions that have been shaping our perspectives come into awareness. Past creations, imaginations, and patterns of escape may arise so that we can consciously choose whether to continue and strengthen them or bring them to a close.

Sun Enters Scorpio

On the same day Neptune moves back into Pisces, the Sun moves forward into Scorpio. Officially beginning Scorpio season, this transit invites us to experience depth, intimacy, and empowerment within ourselves.

Scorpio desires truth. Its season allows us to look beneath the surface and observe the hidden dynamics shaping our inner as well as outer reality. Here we experience revelations relating to psychological patterns, unconscious material, relational tendencies, power dynamics, deepest desires, and unexplained intuition. Our fears as well as our strengths are mirrored back to us.

Through November 21, 2025, the Sun in Scorpio brings an opportunity to know our own strengths, determination, and wisdom. Move with awareness, intuition, and surrender. It’s a time to release the old and meet more of yourself but through surrender, not willfulness.

Weekly Horoscope, October 19-25, 2025 

As above, so below. The vast cosmic transits in the days ahead mirror your readiness for profound internal transits. You’re experiencing a readiness for awareness of who you truly are—the patterns and beliefs that have existed within you and how these contribute, moment by moment, to the life you are creating and experiencing. Your weekly horoscope helps you know where to focus for optimum wisdom and surrender. Read for your rising sign.

Aries Rising

Relationships are illuminated this week. Not your relationships with others. This is about you—what you desire in love and connection and all that exists within that keeps you from it. What projections do you place upon others? What dynamics do others’ behaviors mirror within you? As old cycles close, empowerment awaits you.

Taurus Rising

Others become a mirror for you this week. Bring awareness to how you share, express, create, and meet yourself through your communication and sharing with connections. Let these reflect back to you any aspects of self-refinement still waiting and wanting to take place. How you can take better care of yourself? How truthfully can you express who you are to the world?

Gemini Rising

Come home to the foundations that hold and support—routines, habits, and rituals that that help you tend to and connect with yourself. Release old stories around being seen, self-expression, and your deservingness. Instead, review where you desire to take this beautiful life of yours.

Cancer Rising

There are worlds within you desiring to flow into creation. What are each of these worlds saying to you? What does your voice want to share? You are invited to powerfully, truthfully, and compassionately claim your creativity, self-expression, and space you occupy in the world. Emotional ease awaits as longheld psychological patterns come to a close.

Leo Rising

This week invites internal tending. It’s as if you’re having a conversation with your inner child. What does it need to hear? What does it want to say? And what does it want to remind you when it comes to experiencing greater playfulness and authenticity in your life? Empowerment awaits as you follow this advice.

Virgo Rising

This week offers a renewed relationship with your mind, voice, strength, and sense of worth. There is power in your voice, thoughts, and perspective. Where do you choose to channel this power? What do you choose to create with it?

Libra Rising

Personal renewal, acceptance, and self-expression are on offer this week. More of you is ready to be met, accepted, and brought into your identity. As personal strength and trust become more a part of your everyday way of relating to yourself and others, old dynamics are ready to fall, new chapters are being initiated, and worthiness shifts from an idea to a lived truth.

Scorpio Rising

A new chapter of yourself is being initiated. A new way of perceiving and expressing yourself. A new approach to moving through life. Allow your desires to be bigger and louder than your old stories about yourself and your identity. This week is a new slate. How do you choose to show up for yourself?

Sagittarius Rising

This week invites surrender as you explore a renewed relationship with your intuition and the vaster mysteries of the Universe’s timing. Sit with what might feel unknown or unclear as much is revealed through your presence. Meditation, journaling, and silence all call your name.

Capricorn Rising

This week invites you to play in the realm of ideas. Let your mind open to any possibilities and futures that feel aligned and interesting. As you do so, you reclaim your self-authority, allow old narratives to close, and experience healing in your thoughts and perceptions.

Aquarius Rising

Your weekly horoscope asks you to look out at the story of your life—where you have been and where you want to go. As you do so, it becomes more feasible to renew your relationship with personal authority and become the writer of your life.

Pisces Rising

Where are you ready for greater intimacy with yourself, life, trust, and your chosen people? It’s a week of stripping back layers, reflecting on the many versions of you that you have been, and observing the beauty within them all. As you close old cycles with acceptance and ease, you become able to access more of your truth,  intuition, and inner wisdom.
