Tuesday belongs to Mars—the planet of action, drive, fight, and unvarnished truth. As an astrologer with Mars, Mercury, and Pallas Athena conjunct in Sagittarius, Tuesday is my ultimate power center. Mars is the heat that forces us to cut through the noise, face the truth, and claim our healing. We aren’t just sitting around watching the sky—we’re using Tuesday’s fire to fuel our evolution.

The Weekly Skycast
This week, the cosmic momentum shifts from internal reflection into real-time decision points. We are officially navigating the Mercury Retrograde shadow period—testing our communication, bringing unexpected visitors back around, and asking us to slow down before we react. Meanwhile, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius, giving our higher purpose and core beliefs a radical power-wash while putting tension on our everyday routines.
As the Moon waxes through Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius, you are being called to trust your visceral gut knowing, step through uncertainty, and rewrite old contracts—even when every detail isn't crystal clear yet.
Let's dive into this week's transit receipts.
1. THE UNDERTONE: MERCURY RETROGRADE SHADOW IN SCORPIO
(Shadow Active Now | Stations Retrograde October 24, 2026 in the 4th House Sector)
We are officially steeped in the Mercury Retrograde shadow, and the energy is getting noticeably stronger. Double and triple-check your communications, back up your files, and slow down before you react or lash out emotionally.
Mercury will officially station retrograde on October 24th in Scorpio, initiating a deep subterranean dive through your 4th House sector of home, roots, family lineage, and ancestral patterns. Expect unexpected people, unresolved family dynamics, or blasts from the past to resurface.
- 🥀 Primal: Reacting impulsively to old triggers, lashing out when miscommunications happen, or letting resurfaced past figures disrupt your present peace.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Pausing before responding, observing past patterns without slipping back into them, and using this window to audit your emotional foundation.

Pluto Stations Direct in Aquarius (9th House Sector)
Trine Uranus Rx in Gemini (12th House) | Square Venus Rx in Scorpio (6th House) | Sextile Neptune Rx in Aries (11th House)
Pluto officially ends its retrograde phase and stations direct in analytical Aquarius in your 9th House sector of higher learning, core philosophy, and expanded vision. Your core beliefs and worldview are getting a total power-wash.
Because Pluto forms a harmonious trine to Uranus in Gemini in your 12th House, it is loosening the grip of old subconscious limitations, hidden anxiety, and mental loops. However, Pluto simultaneously locks into a tense square with Venus Retrograde in Scorpio in your 6th House, creating a friction point between these massive spiritual mindset shifts and the reality of your daily habits, labor, and routines.
- 🥀 Primal: Clinging to outdated mental limitations because your daily routine or current relationships make it uncomfortable to step into your truth.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Allowing your belief system to undergo a total upgrade, liberating your mind from subconscious fears, and adjusting your daily routines to match your sovereign vision.

Waxing Crescent Moon in Sagittarius (2nd House Sector)
Mid-week brings the Waxing Crescent Moon phase landing in vision-driven Sagittarius in your 2nd House sector of values, income, and personal resources. This is the phase where we begin taking intentional steps to build upon the seeds planted at the Libra New Moon.
You may feel called to take deliberate, tangible steps forward regarding your personal wealth, higher learning, and philosophies. Even if the path ahead feels a little uncertain, this phase is about laying down the first bricks of your new foundation.
- 🥀 Primal: Freezing in place because you don't have a 100% guaranteed outcome, or letting temporary uncertainty talk you out of your worth.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Taking concrete, deliberate action toward your financial and personal goals, trusting that clarity builds through movement.

First Quarter Waxing Moon in Capricorn (2nd House Sector) Conjunct Juno & Pluto Direct in Aquarius
Sunday delivers a high-stakes turning point with the First Quarter Moon in grounded Capricorn in the 2nd House sector, merging closely with Juno (asteroids of sacred contracts and commitments) and Pluto Direct in Aquarius.
First Quarter Moons demand action through friction. This phase forces a critical decision point: old contracts, soul-agreements, and long-standing commitments are coming up for direct review. There is tension between your old way of operating and the new path calling you forward.
If you are used to wavering or waiting for your emotions to settle before making a move, this transit calls for a different strategy: trust your gut instinct. Move forward through clean effort rather than waiting for everything to feel comfortable or crystal clear.
- 🥀 Primal: Staying trapped in emotional decision loops, honoring outdated commitments out of guilt, or waiting for total certainty before taking a stand.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Trusting your immediate gut knowing, breaking or renegotiating contracts that drain your power, and taking brave action despite the tension.
