Although the Moon itself doesn't change shape, the amount of its sunlit surface that we see from Earth changes as the Moon travels around us. This creates the familiar cycle of lunar phases, taking approximately 29.5 days to complete.
In astronomy, these phases are a beautiful result of the relationship between the Earth, Moon and Sun. In astrology, we also look to the lunar cycle symbolically, using its changing light as a way to reflect on the different stages of our own lives.

Tomorrow, we experience a Full Moon in Ta**us, one of particular interest in traditional astrology because the Moon is exalted in Ta**us. Exaltation is a traditional astrological dignity, describing a sign in which a planet is considered especially well placed to express its qualities. The Moon in Ta**us is associated with steadiness, nourishment, comfort and a desire for emotional security.

Ta**us is an earth sign, bringing our attention to the tangible things that support us: our bodies, our homes, our relationships with the natural world, our values and the simple pleasures that help us feel grounded. This Full Moon invites us to consider what truly nourishes us.

Every Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon stand opposite one another in the zodiac. With the Sun now in Scorpio and the Moon in Ta**us, we have two very different energies meeting across the zodiac. Ta**us encourages us to find stability, appreciate what we have and feel secure in the present moment. Scorpio, a water sign, invites us to look beneath the surface, explore our deeper emotional truths and recognise where transformation may be needed. This creates an interesting conversation between holding on and letting go, security and change, comfort and transformation.

Sometimes we need the familiar and dependable. At other times, we recognise that something must change for us to grow. The invitation is not necessarily to choose one over the other, but to find a balance between creating a life that feels grounded and being willing to explore what lies beneath the surface. Perhaps this Full Moon is an opportunity to ask ourselves whether what once made us feel secure still supports the person we are becoming.

As a Cancer Rising, the Moon has a particularly important place in my own birth chart. In traditional astrology, the ruling planet of your Ascendant is known as your chart ruler and for Cancer Rising, that planet is the Moon. This makes the Moon's journey through the zodiac especially interesting to me as I observe the changing lunar phases and the different signs it travels through. I often find myself drawn to the Moon's symbolism as a reminder that we move through different seasons within ourselves, too. There are times when we feel ready to grow and expand and other times when we need to retreat, reflect and nurture ourselves.

With this Full Moon in Ta**us, I am reflecting on the importance of grounding, slowing down and recognising the things that offer genuine nourishment, both physically and emotionally. Perhaps there is something in that for all of us.

As you move through the energy of this Full Moon, you might like to take a quiet moment to consider:

You don't need to have all the answers. Sometimes simply asking the questions is enough to begin a meaningful reflection. The Moon will continue through its phases, waxing and waning, just as life continues to bring us opportunities to grow, learn, release and begin again.

As we move through this week towards ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป, my attention turns to the Full Moon in Ta**us on Monday, 26th October, at approximately 2ยฐ Ta**us. Although we haven't officially entered ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป just yet, we have already had a preview of its energy. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ป'๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป are in Scorpio, inviting us to explore some of Scorpio's deeper themes โ€” endings and rebirth, power and control, trust and vulnerability. There can be an emotional intensity to our experiences as we begin looking beneath the surface.

But before we move fully into Scorpio, there is still some unfinished business with Libra. Venus, Libra's ruling planet, is retrograde, asking us to reflect on what we value, the relationships we nurture and the connections that are important to us. Venus has also been in a challenging square with Pluto, the second in a series of three, bringing an opportunity to look more deeply at our values and recognise where we may have blind spots around power, control or what we are holding onto.

While this can feel uncomfortable, it may also offer an opportunity to acknowledge something that has needed our attention for a long time. As the Sun moves into Scorpio on Friday, Venus will retrograde back into Libra, while Mercury is also turning retrograde in Scorpio. There is a sense that we are not quite finished with some of the things we have been exploring. Venus remains retrograde until 13th November, giving us further time to reconsider our relationships, connections and what truly matters to us.

๐ŸŒ• ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—™๐˜‚๐—น๐—น ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ป โ€” ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—•๐˜‚๐—น๐—น ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
A Full Moon always brings the Sun and Moon into opposition, illuminating the tension between two different energies and inviting us to find a balance. This time, we have grounded earthy Moon in Ta**us meeting the deep, reflective and transformative Sun in Scorpio.

๐—œ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ, we are in the heart of spring โ€” a season of growth, fertility and physical emergence. Ta**us connects us with the earth, our bodies and the simple, tangible experiences that help us feel grounded and secure. It reminds us to slow down, spend time in nature and appreciate what is already here. The Scorpio Sun, however, draws our attention to the deeper emotional currents of life. It invites us to look beyond appearances, explore our motivations and recognise what may need to change or transform.

We could think of this as the steady Bull meeting the Scorpion, with the Eagle offering another expression of Scorpio's ability to rise above the surface and see things from a different perspective.
๐Ÿ‚ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—•๐˜‚๐—น๐—น โ€” ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜€
Ta**us seeks stability, comfort, peace and security. It asks us to pay attention to what is tangible and reliable in our lives. What makes us feel safe? What nourishes us? Where do we find comfort in our bodies, our surroundings and the resources we have available to us?
๐Ÿฆ‚ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—˜๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—น๐—ฒ โ€” ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ผ
Scorpio takes us beneath the surface, into our emotional depths, our hidden motivations and the parts of ourselves we may not always feel comfortable acknowledging. It asks us to be honest about what we are holding onto, where we may be giving away our power and what needs to be released so that something new can emerge.
โœจ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
This Full Moon brings these two needs into focus: our desire for security and our need for transformation. Sometimes we hold onto what is familiar because it feels safe, even when we know something needs to change. At other times, we can become so caught up in the emotional complexity of a situation that we forget the importance of returning to the simple things that sustain us. Perhaps the invitation is to recognise where we need to let go, and where we simply need to slow down, breathe and reconnect with ourselves. We don't always need to have every answer. Sometimes, grounding ourselves in the present gives us the space to understand what comes next.

In my own chart, this Full Moon activates my 5th and 11th house axis, where I have my North Node in Scorpio in the 5th house and my South Node in Ta**us in the 11th house. With the Full Moon at almost the exact degree of my nodal axis, this is a particularly meaningful lunation for me to reflect upon.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ป shines a light on my North Node, bringing my attention to the themes of creativity, personal joy, passion and the courage to express more of who I am. With Mercury turning retrograde in Scorpio, it feels like a time for deeper introspection โ€” revisiting what I truly desire on a soul level and considering where I want to direct my creative energy.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—™๐˜‚๐—น๐—น ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ป, meanwhile, illuminates my 11th house of friendships, community, networks and long-term hopes. The South Node in Ta**us invites me to reflect on where I might be holding onto familiarity or seeking comfort in what is already established, rather than allowing myself to explore something deeper or more personally meaningful.

For me, this brings up questions about how I share what I do, the connections I nurture and the direction I want to take moving forward.
Am I allowing myself to follow what genuinely inspires me? Am I making room for creativity, passion and deeper soul expression, even when the path isn't entirely clear?
These are the kinds of questions I will be sitting with under this Full Moon.
๐Ÿ’ซ ๐—” ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ธ:
๐ŸŒ• Where in my life am I seeking security or comfort, and is it genuinely supporting me?
๐ŸŒ• What might I be holding onto simply because it is familiar?
๐ŸŒ• Is there something deeper within me that is asking for expression, change or transformation?
๐ŸŒ• How can I honour both my need for stability and my desire to grow?
As we move through this emotionally rich period, perhaps we can allow ourselves to sit with these questions without feeling the need to rush towards an answer. Sometimes the greatest shifts begin when we become willing to look honestly at where we are, reconnect with what matters and give ourselves permission to grow.

Have you ever wondered what it actually feels like to receive Reiki? Perhaps you have been curious about Reiki but aren't quite sure what to expect. One of the things I love about Reiki is that everyone's experience is different and there is no right or wrong way to receive it.

As you settle into your session, you may begin to notice your body relaxing and your mind becoming quieter. You might experience warmth or coolness, tingling, gentle pulsing sensations, or a feeling of heaviness or lightness in your body. Some people notice emotions gently coming to the surface, while others experience a deep sense of peace and stillness. You may even find yourself drifting off to sleep โ€” something that happens when a client becomes deeply relaxed and is always lovely to see.

And here's something you might not expect! You may hear your stomach gurgling or notice your digestion making a little noise. This can happen when you are resting quietly and your body becomes more relaxed - it's nothing to feel embarrassed about. Just allow your body to do what it does.โ€œI arrived feeling a little fragile from recent life experiences. Susan worked her amazing magic and I left experiencing a new sense of peace ready to meet the next days challenge.โ€

You might experience some of these sensations, something entirely different, or simply enjoy a peaceful rest. You don't need to feel anything in particular for your session to be worthwhile. Sometimes, the most beautiful way to understand Reiki is to hear from someone who has experienced it. ๐Ÿ’—

These words mean so much to me. They remind me how important it is to have a space where we can slow down, feel supported and give ourselves permission to simply be.

My intention at Soul Journey: The Healing Touch is to offer that calm, nurturing space โ€” a place where you can pause, rest and take some time just for you. You don't need to know what to expect. You can simply come as you are. ๐ŸŒธ

I have shared more about receiving Reiki, including reflections from my clients, in Part 3 of my Reiki series on the blog.

The past few days have brought us into some rather interesting territory astrologically, particularly around our relationships, emotions and the things we may have been trying to avoid looking at too closely.

With the ๐™‡๐™ž๐™—๐™ง๐™– ๐™‰๐™š๐™ฌ ๐™ˆ๐™ค๐™ค๐™ฃ behind us, we have begun a new lunar cycle that invites us to consider balance, fairness and the relationships we have with others. But with ๐™‘๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ช๐™จ ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ค๐™œ๐™ง๐™–๐™™๐™š ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™Ž๐™˜๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™ค, this isn't simply about keeping the peace or making everything look harmonious on the surface. It's about emotional honesty, vulnerability and recognising what we truly value.

๐™๐™๐™š ๐™Ž๐™˜๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™ค ๐™ˆ๐™ค๐™ค๐™ฃ over the past couple of days may have stirred up old memories, unresolved feelings or conversations that have been sitting beneath the surface. Perhaps something from the past has resurfaced, or you have found yourself questioning why a particular situation still affects you. Sometimes we become so caught up in wanting to be understood, acknowledged or proven right that we lose sight of what we actually need. Not every disagreement needs to be resolved and not every situation deserves our continued energy. There is a difference between speaking our truth and reacting from an old wound.

๐™๐™ค๐™™๐™–๐™ฎ, ๐™’๐™š๐™™๐™ฃ๐™š๐™จ๐™™๐™–๐™ฎ, ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ˆ๐™ค๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ข๐™ค๐™ซ๐™š๐™จ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™Ž๐™–๐™œ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ง๐™ž๐™ช๐™จ, bringing a shift in perspective. Sagittarius encourages us to look beyond our immediate circumstances, explore new possibilities and seek a deeper understanding of our experiences. With supportive connections to Neptune and Mars, there is potential for inspiration, creativity and renewed enthusiasm. We may feel drawn to explore an idea, begin something new or look towards a future that feels more aligned with who we are becoming.

However, the Moon's opposition to Uranus reminds us that new information or a different perspective can challenge what we have always believed, and perhaps that's a good thing. We don't have to abandon our beliefs simply because someone sees things differently. Equally, we don't need to defend every belief as though our identity depends upon it.

As I often say, astrology isn't just something I study; it's something I live with and reflect upon in my own soul journey. Venus retrograde in Scorpio has been particularly interesting for me, given the way she connects with my chart this year. Natal Venus sits in my 8th house in Aquarius and as the exalted ruler of my Pisces Sun, she holds an important place in my chart. Pisces is my 1st house for my perfected year in 2026, bringing the focus back to me, my own journey and the person I am becoming.

With Venus currently retrograde in Scorpio, she is moving through my perfected 9th house โ€” the house of spirituality, beliefs and the search for deeper meaning. She also rules Libra, which is my perfected 8th house and my perfected month for October. So, there is quite a lot happening through these 8th and 9th house themes, alongside the areas of my natal chart being activated in my 4th and 5th houses.

On a personal level, I have found myself revisiting a lot of things, reflecting on what has shaped me, what I believe and what feels right for the next chapter of my life. This reflection has also extended into my business and the direction I want Soul Journey to take.

As Pluto prepares to turn direct in Aquarius, we're also reminded that deeper transformation often begins with recognising something about ourselves that we may not have been ready to see. Change isn't always comfortable, but it can be an invitation to reclaim our power and choose a different way forward.

Sometimes astrology doesn't hand us an immediate answer. Instead, it gives us a language through which we can better understand what we are experiencing and the questions that are coming up for us. Perhaps that is what this Venus retrograde is offering me โ€” an opportunity to look again, reconsider and reconnect with what truly holds value for me, both personally and through the work I share with others.

As I always remind myself, growth isn't necessarily about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's about coming home to the parts of ourselves we may have lost sight of along the way. ๐Ÿ’—

๐ŸŒฟ What has been coming to the surface emotionally and what might it be showing me?
๐ŸŒฟ Am I responding to what is happening now, or reacting to something from my past?
๐ŸŒฟ Where might I benefit from being more curious and open to another perspective?
๐ŸŒฟ What am I ready to release, and what am I willing to do differently moving forward?

Our experiences don't always give us immediate answers. Sometimes they simply invite us to ask better questions. And perhaps that is where wisdom begins โ€” not in having all the answers, but in remaining open to what life is still teaching us.

When you come for a Reiki session, you may be lying comfortably with your eyes closed, listening to the music and allowing yourself to relax. But what is happening from my side of the treatment?

Today, I thought I would share a little about my own experience as a Reiki practitioner, including the physical and intuitive sides of my work.

๐–๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ˆ ๐จ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ ๐‘๐ž๐ข๐ค๐ข, ๐ˆ ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ž๐ฅ, ๐ˆ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ž, ๐ˆ ๐ก๐ž๐š๐ซโ€ฆ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ˆ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ โœจ
For me, working with Reiki is about more than placing my hands on or above the body. As I scan the body and offer healing, I remain present and attentive, allowing myself to notice sensations, impressions and intuitive guidance that may arise.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ ๐…๐ž๐ž๐ฅ
Sometimes I experience physical sensations in my own body that draw my attention to a similar area on the person receiving Reiki. I may feel warmth or heat in my hands, tingling, buzzing or pins and needles. At other times, I notice coolness, pulsing or throbbing, particularly when working around areas of tension. Occasionally, I experience a feeling of heaviness or resistance, almost like the push and pull you feel when bringing two magnets together.

These are some of the ways I experience energy during a session. They may guide me to stay a little longer in an area, change my hand position or simply give myself time to notice what is happening.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ ๐’๐ž๐ž
Even when my physical eyes are closed, I may receive impressions through my mind's eye. These can be colours, images, scenes or symbols that arise intuitively while I am working with Reiki. Sometimes I feel an impression may relate to something the person is experiencing emotionally or physically. At other times, I simply acknowledge what comes through without needing to interpret it or decide what it means. I have learnt that I don't need to make sense of everything in the moment. Sometimes it is enough to remain open and curious.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ ๐‡๐ž๐š๐ซ
At times, I receive words, phrases or guidance through my inner voice. This isn't hearing an external voice, but rather an intuitive experience โ€” a thought, phrase or sense of guidance that seems to come to me while I am working. Sometimes the words offer something to reflect upon; other times, there is nothing in particular to share. I allow the experience to unfold without trying to force it.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ ๐Š๐ง๐จ๐ฐ
This is perhaps the hardest part to explain. Sometimes I have an intuitive knowing without feeling a physical sensation, seeing an image or hearing a word. I may simply feel drawn to a particular area, have a sense that I need to pause, or know intuitively that I should change position or give something more time. There isn't always a clear explanation for this knowing. Over time, I have learnt to become more comfortable with these experiences while continuing to develop my awareness and discernment.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐‘๐ž๐œ๐ž๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐ข๐ค๐ข
Alongside my own physical and intuitive experiences, I also pay attention to the person's bodily cues. A sigh, a change in breathing, a stomach gurgle or a gentle twitch or movement may occur during a session. These can accompany relaxation and changes in the body's state, although everyone's experience is different. There is something else that I find particularly satisfying as a practitioner โ€” when someone drifts off to sleep. ๐Ÿค

There is something beautiful about seeing a person relax so deeply that they let go of the need to stay awake or be aware of what is happening around them. For me, it is a lovely indication that they feel comfortable enough to surrender to the moment and simply rest. While falling asleep doesn't necessarily mean that someone is receiving more healing than a person who remains awake, it can be a beautiful part of their experience โ€” allowing them to switch off from the busyness of everyday life and receive Reiki without needing to do anything at all.

Some people remain aware throughout their session, others drift in and out of sleep and some fall into a deep, peaceful rest. There is no right or wrong way to receive Reiki. You don't have to feel anything special, stay awake or try to make anything happen. Sometimes, simply allowing yourself to rest is enough. ๐ŸŒฟ

Some sessions bring sensations, colours, images or intuitive impressions. Others are much quieter. I don't go into a session expecting to feel, see or hear anything in particular. Whether I am scanning the body or offering Reiki, I try to remain present, listen to what I am experiencing and allow myself to be guided without forcing an experience or interpretation. For me, this is where the physical and spiritual sides of my practice come together. I am working with Reiki while remaining open to my own intuitive awareness, always remembering that each person and each session is unique. I am not there to diagnose or tell someone what they must be feeling. I am there to offer Reiki, hold a safe and nurturing space and work with care, respect and an open heart. The longer I practise, the more I appreciate that I don't need to have all the answers. Sometimes, simply being present and allowing the session to unfold is enough.

If you have received Reiki, you may have wondered what your practitioner is experiencing while you are resting on the treatment table. I hope this gives you a little insight into my side of the session and if you haven't experienced Reiki before, you don't need to understand any of this or feel anything special. You can simply come as you are and allow yourself the time to rest and receive.

We began with a fiery Leo Moon, joining Mars and Jupiter and bringing plenty of enthusiasm, confidence and determination โ€” although Monday certainly had the potential for a little drama!

Tuesday invited the Leo Moon to meet Jupiter, amplifying confidence, creativity and the desire to fully express ourselves. Sometimes believing in ourselves isnโ€™t ego โ€” it is simply remembering our own worth.

Sometimes this clearing is quite practical โ€” tidying, finishing something, letting go of what is no longer needed. But sometimes it is much deeper.

By Saturday, the Libra New Moon opens a new lunar cycle โ€” bringing relationships, balance, cooperation and the agreements we make with others, and with ourselves, into focus. So rather than rushing towards the new beginning, perhaps this week is about making space for it first.

What are you ready to release?
What might you choose to do differently when this new cycle begins?

As we move through this deeper, inward-looking energy, perhaps notice what is asking for your attention. If something is coming up for you that feels ready to be gently explored, Reiki may offer a supportive space to begin.

Sometimes, simply giving yourself permission to pause, breathe and be held in a safe and nurturing space can be the first step towards healing.

If you feel called to explore this, I am here to hold that space for you. ๐Ÿ’—

And just like that, we have arrived in October. We are in Libra season, a time that naturally turns our attention towards relationships, balance, harmony and the way we relate to others โ€” but there is quite a lot happening in the cosmos this month, so I thought I would begin a little Weekend Astrology series alongside my Astrologically Speaking posts, which will continue on Wednesdays.

So, what is happening as we move through this first weekend of October?
๐ŸŒ™ ๐Œ๐ž๐ซ๐œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐’๐œ๐จ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ข๐จ
Mercury entered Scorpio at the beginning of the month, bringing a deeper quality to our thinking and conversations. Scorpio doesn't tend to stay on the surface. It invites us to look beneath what is being said and perhaps even beneath what we are willing to acknowledge. And with Mercury turning retrograde later this month, some conversations, decisions or experiences may need to be revisited, reconsidered or looked at from another perspective.

๐Ÿ’— ๐•๐ž๐ง๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐’๐œ๐จ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ข๐จ
This is perhaps one of the biggest themes of this weekend. Venus, the ruler of Libra, turned retrograde in Scorpio on 3rd October and will remain here until 25th October, when she returns to Libra to complete her retrograde journey through to mid-November. Venus retrograde can bring a period of reviewing and revisiting our relationships, our values and what we truly want โ€” and in Scorpio, the themes can become much deeper in areas around:

๐“๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ. ๐ˆ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐š๐œ๐ฒ. ๐•๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐š๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ. ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ ๐๐ฒ๐ง๐š๐ฆ๐ข๐œ๐ฌ. ๐”๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ค๐ž๐ง ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ. ๐“๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ฆ๐š๐ฒ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ค๐ž๐ฉ๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐š๐ญ๐ž.

Scorpio is often concerned with what happens beneath the surface โ€” the things we don't necessarily share with everyone else. Because Venus has begun her retrograde in the early degrees of Scorpio, we may find ourselves being drawn back towards something from the past that still needs understanding, acknowledgement or resolution.

Perhaps it is an old relationship. Perhaps something was left unsaid. Perhaps there is a pattern around trust, control or vulnerability that is asking to be seen. Or perhaps there is simply something within ourselves that we have been holding onto for longer than we realised.

๐–๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐•๐ž๐ง๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐ž๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ซ๐š on 25th October, the focus begins to shift. After going deep into the emotional and psychological layers of Scorpio, Venus in Libra can help us find a greater sense of balance โ€” and perhaps, in time, release what we no longer need to carry.

โœจ ๐Ž๐œ๐ญ๐จ๐›๐ž๐ซ ๐ฆ๐š๐ฒ ๐›๐ž ๐š ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค before moving forward. Not everything that returns needs to be reclaimed. Sometimes something comes back into our awareness simply so we can see it differently, understand it more deeply and finally let it go.

So as we move through this first weekend of October, perhaps notice what is coming up for you โ€” particularly within your relationships and the quieter, more private parts of your emotional world.

You don't have to have all the answers.
Sometimes simply becoming aware is the beginning of the healing.
