It’s a week of vast cosmic movements with invitations from all different corners of ourselves. As Venus comes into a square with Saturn, Mercury opposes Uranus, and we begin November with a Scorpio New Moon and the movement of Mercury into Sagittarius. It is a week of continued transformation, self-insight, looking ahead, and renewing our belief systems.
Venus square Saturn: October 28
October 28, 2024 brings Venus and Saturn together in our skies in the form of a square. While a square aspect in Astrology generates a stirring of energy from within, this energy holds the potential to spark creativity, breakthroughs, change, and decisions.
While Venus represents our values, desires, magnetism and love, Saturn, a planet of reality checks, invites us into commitment, tangible building, and mastery. Venus in Sagittarius calls us towards freedom, wisdom, and adventure while Saturn in Pisces invites us into the tangible building of creative visions and imaginations.
As these two celestial bodies come together on this day, they ask that we clarify what or who we are devoted to, what we value, and how we choose to experience our lives – and with that, commit. To take what we value and let it lead us. To take what or who we love and devote our time, energy, intention, and resources to it or them. To take what we desire and begin embodying this commitment in the tangible – taking action, devoting time, and building our lives to be a reflection of this desire.
While tension can often be present when we speak of squares, these aspects hold incredible potentials for change. Listen within on this day and allow yourself to be honest about what or who you want for yourself and your life. Allow yourself to be honest about what matters to you.
Mercury Opposite Uranus: October 30
As October comes to a close, it does so in a way that is anything but quiet. October 30, 2024 marks an opposition in our skies that seeks to spark creativity, imagination, mind-expansion, and a recalibration of our thinking. A perfect day for journalling, mindset work, idea brainstorming, and opening to new ways of seeing and thinking.
An opposition, as the name suggests, meets us as two planetary bodies sit on opposite sides of the cosmos, in opposite signs. As Mercury, our planet of the mind, thinking, mental processing, learning and communication journeys through Scorpio, Uranus, our planet of freedom, change, innovation, and breakthroughs moves through its opposite sign in Taurus. And in a similar expression to a square, oppositions have the potential to produce frustration as well as inspire change, to illuminate tension as well ignite as an immense amount of creative energy.
This day produces much mental energy. Whatever Uranus touches he is here to revolutionise. Wherever Uranus goes he brings with him liberation, inspiration, and a cracking open for vast change. A planet that looks ahead, as Uranus comes into contact with Mercury and therefore our minds, we are cracking open the frameworks of our minds that are simply, too small for us. We are breaking down what is limiting our view and we are opening ourselves to vaster potentials, innovative ideas, and guidance forward.
Scorpio New Moon: November 1
As we step through the gates of November we are greeted with a catalysing new Moon in Scorpio on November 1, 2024. An internal lunation, a new beginning stirred from the depths of our underworld, it is a new Moon that is here to be felt, experienced, and surrendered to. A new Moon that is here to crack us open so that we may meet more of ourselves, so that we may meet more of life.
Scorpio is a catalysing zodiac sign that always asks for more of us. It asks for depth, trust, and complete embodied presence. It asks for truth, honesty, and the deepest kind of intimacy. It asks that we look into the mirror of our shadows so that we may usher them into our hearts. It asks that we reclaim what we have abandoned within ourselves, welcoming them home, welcoming ourselves home. And it asks that we strip away the layers keeping us from ourselves, keeping us from life, keeping us from our own knowing, truth, and most fulfilling, real, and meaningful living.
The Moon can begin again only because she has emptied herself bare. Unseen in our skies, she has stripped away all of who she once was at the full Moon. In a similar way, Scorpio is our sign of transformation – and the way a rebirth can only be met through death.
Like all Astrology, this lunation is a mirror for something internal within us. Something within us that is ready to be transformed – repressed psychic material, disempowering emotional patterns, unconscious fears or ties. Something within us that is ready to be stripped away so that we may rebirth ourselves anew – empowered, strong, and present.

Mercury enters Sagittarius: November 2
Just a day after this weeks catalysing new Moon, Mercury leaves the depths of Scorpio and enters a new sign, shifting the environment and essence of our minds, thinking, and communication for this next season.
On November 2, 2024 Mercury enters Sagittarius where it will continue journeying until January 8, 2024. While in this fiery, adventurous sign, Mercury will also meet its final retrograde of the year from November 26 to December 15, 2024. Meaning, the forward movement that we make from now until November 26, we will be re-tracing and re-walking in a backwards motion while in retrograde.
Sagittarius is a sign of higher wisdom, exploration, aspirations and philosophical thought. It is a sign that represents our belief systems, hope, and faith. And it is a sign that invites us to expand our minds so that we may open to vaster possibilities for ourselves.
Mercury in Sagittarius brings hope. It widens our perspectives so that we may see more for ourselves. It invites our minds to explore philosophical thought, ponder on our own belief systems, and open to a higher Universal wisdom. And it invites us to look ahead and observe what we want to experience in our lives moving forward, what ignites passion and excitement within us, and how we want our future experiences to feel.
Astrology Forecast October 27 – November 2, 2024
As the Sun continues to travel through the watery depths of Scorpio, this week and its cosmic movements highlight a certain invitation – that of honesty.
Honesty with ourselves. Honesty with what matters to us. Honesty with our mind as we observe what are simply learned ideas, perspectives, and thought patterns. Honesty with what is truly possible for us as we listen beyond those learned thoughts. Honest with our fears that keep us at a distance. Honesty with what we need to change for our own wellbeing. Honesty with what we are ready to let go of. Honesty with our desires and hopes. And honesty with where we are ready to leap and create change for ourselves.
There is vast transformative energy emanating from the cosmos this week and beyond, which offers profound opportunity to bring ourselves through our own transformation – to bring that honesty and hold it in the light, trusting that it will be transmuted. To claim our own empowerment and know that the energy of this week will provide the tools, emotions, experiences, and realisations, that will allow you to embody and become that empowerment.
