Monday is a mix of determination and idealism. Motivation is available to pursue meaningful goals but there is also a sense of caution, hesitation, or blocks related to long-term commitments. 

There’s a lot of support for pursuing creative endeavors, personal projects, or other endeavors with focus, but it may also bring up the realities of limitations, particularly in relationships or finances. 

Overall, the day has a productive and forward focused vibe, even if you have to jump over some unexpected (or expected) hurdles.

• Best for: Pursuing meaningful, grounded goals; engaging in focused, creative projects; recognizing realistic boundaries in commitments.
• Potential Challenges: Facing limitations in relationships or resources; unrealistic expectations; difficulties managing boundaries and responsibilities.

Tuesday 10/29

• ☽ ▻ Libra | 12:29 am eastern

Tuesday the Moon moves into Libra bright and early at 12:29 am eastern and it’s honestly the day to get the most done without any interference. 

With fewer distractions or intense influences, there’s wide open space for organizing tasks, making decisions, and tackling projects that benefit from diplomacy and strategic planning.

• Best for: Organizing plans with ease; focusing on collaborative projects; engaging in diplomatic conversations.
• Potential Challenges: Tendency to avoid necessary conflict; risk of over-prioritizing harmony at the expense of progress; difficulty addressing sensitive issues directly.

• ☽ at 20° 33‘ Libra △ ♃ at 20° 33‘ Gemini | 6:22 pm eastern

Wednesday is social, insightful, collaborative and productive with the potential for unexpected insights or communications. 

• Best for: Engaging in thoughtful and open discussions; exploring new ideas with curiosity.
• Potential Challenges: Misunderstandings in communication; unexpected shifts in opinions or perspectives; challenges in staying focused amidst changing dynamics.

Thursday 10/31

• ☽ at 28° 44‘ Libra □ ♂︎ at 28° 44‘ Cancer | 10:56 am eastern

• ☽ ▻ Scorpio | 1:29 pm eastern
• ☿ at 27° 30‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 27° 30‘ Pisces | 8:33 pm eastern 

Thursday you (or other people) might be interested in having complicated conversations that are deep and emotional but there’s also a risk of misreading situations or letting idealism get in the way of facts.

Tempers may run hot, possibly leading to impatience or strong reactions, especially around challenging conversations or choices.

• Best for: Creative projects; exploring imaginative ideas; reflecting on complex issues.
• Potential Challenges: Misunderstandings or deceptive influences; increased intensity in conversations; difficulty distinguishing between facts and fiction.

Friday 11/01

• Scorpio 🌑 New Moon | ☽ ☌ ☉ at 09° 35‘ Scorpio | 8:47 am eastern
• ☽ at 12° 51‘ Scorpio △ ♄ at 12° 51‘ Pisces | 3:19 pm eastern

Friday the main event is the Scorpio New Moon.

It’s great for aligning long-term goals with practical steps. Reflection feels grounded and purposeful, though underlying emotions may influence decisions, especially when there's a disconnect between what would be ideal and what is realistically possible.

• Best for: Setting realistic goals; reflecting on personal motivations; planning with a long-term view.
• Potential Challenges: Taking on too many responsibilities; risk of being misled by emotional bias or wishful thinking; difficulty keeping expectations grounded in reality.

Saturday 11/02

• ☿ at 29° 21‘ Scorpio △ ♂︎ at 29° 21‘ Cancer  | 4:21 am eastern
• ☿ at 29° 45‘ Scorpio ✳ ♇ at 29° 45‘ Capricorn  | 11:02 am eastern
• ☿ ▻ Sagittarius | 3:17 pm eastern
• ☽ at 25° 49‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 25° 49‘ Taurus | 5:05 pm eastern
• ☽ at 27° 27‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 27° 27‘ Pisces | 8:19 pm eastern 

Saturday has all of the focus and determination you could possibly want which should make it much easier to get to work figuring out complicated issues with clarity and purpose.

There will be oodles of support for direct communication and addressing underlying topics, though intensity may make it tempting to overanalyze or push too hard for answers.

• Best for: Tackling complex tasks; engaging in strategic discussions; pursuing goals with focus.
• Potential Challenges: Tendency to overanalyze; risk of pushing too hard for control or certainty; intense reactions in sensitive topics.

But there’s a little bit more. At 3:17 pm eastern Mercury moves into Sagittarius and the intensity gets dialed down a notch or two.

This indicates a shift toward open, exploratory thinking, where curiosity for broader ideas and perspectives takes precedence. Communication becomes more enthusiastic and direct, with an emphasis on seeking knowledge and understanding across diverse topics.

Sunday 11/03

• ☽ at 29° 39‘ Scorpio △ ♂︎ at 29° 39‘ Cancer | 12:39 am eastern
• ☽ at 29° 45‘ Scorpio ✳ ♇ at 29° 45‘ Capricorn | 12:51 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 12:51 -1:19 am eastern
• ☽ ▻ Sagittarius | 1:19 am eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☿ at 00° 39‘ Sagittarius | 2:36 am eastern
• ♂︎  at 29° 45‘ Cancer ☍ ♇ at 29° 45‘ Capricorn | 7:36 am eastern
• ♀︎ at 20° 16‘ Sagittarius ☍ ♃  at 20° 16‘ Gemini | 11:25 am eastern
• ♂︎ ▻ Leo | 11:09 pm eastern

Sunday is a day of bold actions and intense enthusiasm, though balancing optimism with realistic limits may be challenging. 

While there’s energy for pursuing goals and social interactions, it’s also easy to overreach or become caught in power dynamics, especially when dealing with conflicting priorities.

• Best for: Taking decisive steps in personal projects; engaging in lively discussions; setting ambitious but realistic goals.
• Potential Challenges: Overcommitting to plans or promises; power struggles in collaborative efforts; difficulty managing conflicting needs or desires.

Next week will feel like a whole new energetic ballgame (look at me using sports words) as Mars moves into Leo, where he is far better equipped to do all of the things. 

All of the bold and expressive action you’ve likely been missing is about to be available.  Confidence and a desire to stand out will be driving the action for the next couple of months as Mars settles into Leo, where he will station retrograde in early December.

But… he is in his shadow which means even if you take action now, there could be some revisions early next year. Don’t let that bother you too much. When you write a book, you always have revisions before publication. 

It’s not a problem, just something to be aware of. 

Until next time, my wish for you is the time to find your sea legs as you chart a new course. -Robin💋
