Mercury enters Scorpio, Aries Full Moon, Mercury square Pluto, Venus opposite Saturn
This week brings intensity, clarity, and the possibility of deep transformation. Each transit of this week calls us to look beneath the surface, to welcome awareness of what has long been hidden, and to meet it with both courage and care. There is empowerment available here, empowerment that arrives through truth, through release, through the willingness to see clearly.
On October 6, Mercury enters Scorpio, heightening perception and inviting us into depth, followed that same day by a fiery Aries Full Moon, illuminating what has been held back and ready to be released. On October 7, Mercury squares Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, surfacing unconscious patterns for renewal. And as the week comes to a close, Venus in Virgo opposes Saturn retrograde in Pisces on October 11, inviting reflection on worth, love, and boundaries.
Together, these movements weave a story of honesty, release, transformation, and devotion.
October 6, 2025: Mercury enters Scorpio
Mercury, planet of the mind, perception, and communication, steps into Scorpio, a sign of intensity, focus, and transformation on October 6 where it will remain until October 29. Here, Mercury no longer skims the surface – meaning, our minds no longer skim the surface. It dives deep, seeking to understand what lives beneath words, actions, and appearances.
This transit sharpens intuition, heightens awareness, and encourages us to look beyond the obvious. Conversations may feel more probing, inner thoughts more penetrating, and insights more transformative. Scorpio invites us to investigate – not from a place of suspicion, but from a desire for truth, for authenticity, and depth.
Over these weeks, the mind itself becomes a site of transformation. Old patterns of thought can be examined, unconscious beliefs brought into light, and conversations that once felt intimidating may be approached with courage. Mercury in Scorpio is the inner psychologist, the determined seeker, the intuitive communicator. It asks us to listen deeply, not just to words, but to the energy, emotions, and stories that live beneath them.
October 6, 2025: Aries Full Moon
* May fall on October 7, depending on your timezone.
On the same day Mercury shifts into Scorpio, the Moon reaches her fullness in Aries. Full Moons illuminate, and Aries illuminates the self: identity, courage, instinct, and life force. This lunation shines a mirror onto the places where we’ve dimmed our light, silenced our truth, or withheld our passion. It asks us to release what stands in the way of living fully and authentically.
Aries is fire. It is the pure will to live. It is instinct, passion, and desire moving us toward our becoming. Under this Full Moon, old fears or hesitations may rise to be released. What keeps you from being fully alive, from trusting your instinct, from saying yes to yourself and to life, is ready to be shed. This is a Full Moon of empowerment. It asks you to step into courage, to claim your truth, to release hesitation, and to allow yourself to burn brightly.

October 7, 2025: Mercury square Pluto
As Mercury settles into Scorpio, it forms a square with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on October 7, 2025.
Pluto is transformation, the unconscious, the hidden. Retrograde, its energy turns inward, asking us to revisit what has not yet been fully integrated. In square to Mercury, this energy brings unconscious patterns into conscious awareness.
Squares create tension, but also momentum. They demand movement, and with Pluto, that movement is transformation. This aspect may illuminate fears, power dynamics, or control patterns – whether in ourselves, in relationships, or in the collective. Words may cut deeper, conversations may reveal truths long hidden, and our awareness may sharpen around what has been controlling us from beneath the surface.
Perhaps not a comfortable energy, but a profoundly empowering one. By seeing what has been hidden, we have the opportunity to choose differently, to release old narratives, to reclaim authority over our own thoughts and perceptions. It is an invitation into clarity, and with clarity comes freedom.
October 11, 2025: Venus opposite Saturn
Closing the week on October 11, Venus in Virgo meets Saturn retrograde in Pisces in an opposition aspect.
Venus speaks of love, worth, beauty, and values. In Virgo, she becomes discerning, focused on devotion, care, and refinement. Saturn is structure, responsibility, and long-term integrity. In Pisces, retrograde, it reviews boundaries, balance, and what is sustainable in the unseen spaces of life.
When they oppose one another, we are asked to reflect. Are our relationships (with self, another, desires, life) built on balance and mutual respect? Are we honoring our own worth, or are we giving more than we have to give? Are our commitments aligned with love and sustainability, or are they born from obligation and self-neglect?
This aspect offers clarity, met through reflection. It asks us to sit honestly with the ways we love, the ways we give, and the ways we value ourselves. The invitation is renewal: clearer boundaries, deeper devotion, and relationships that honor the truth of who we are.
