General mood this week
The week opens in a mood of completion. The Sun is in Scorpio and Mercury is moving retrograde in the same sign, so conversations about money, trust and hidden motives come to the table more quickly. For you as an Aquarius, this can actually be refreshing, because you naturally enjoy clear and honest exchanges between people.
Think of a colleague who, after a meeting, casually asks what you actually think of the plan, or a friend who admits midweek that they no longer quite understand their own choices. Such small moments show how your own thinking and the thinking of others can strengthen one another.
See this week as an invitation to put your ideas on paper before you share them. A short list of three core points can bring more calm than a long, unfinished discussion. Freedom of mind works best when you also lay a firm foundation beneath it.
Love and friendship
For those who have a partner, the full moon in Taurus may raise the question of how freedom and togetherness go together. Aquarius loves space, but also wants to be seen in the life you build together. Perhaps you will discover that your partner needs something different from what you assume, and that a quiet evening conversation achieves more than a large argument.
For those who are single, the emphasis lies mainly on friendship. An old contact may resurface, for example through a message about a shared interest or a memory of a project from the past. That is a good moment to sense whether that bond still fits who you are now. You do not need to make anything special of it; a coffee or a walk can be enough.
It may help to deliberately arrange to meet someone who inspires you this week, without attaching expectations to it. Friendship often grows strongest when both sides have room to share their own thoughts.
Work and study
At work, this week calls for a gentle but clear translation of ideas into action. Mars and Jupiter are in Leo, which can give energy and self-confidence to be visible. At the same time, Saturn and Neptune are retrograde in Aries, which suggests that some plans need extra testing before you make them final.
If you work, you might consider turning an idea that has been circulating for a while into a small, achievable step. For example, you could propose a trial version of a way of working to a colleague, or set up a shared document in which everyone can contribute. In this way your originality stays intact and you still become practically useful to the team.
If you are studying or looking for work, this week can be used to refresh your networking contacts calmly. A short message with a concrete question often works better than a general appeal. You do not need to arrange everything at once; choose one project or conversation that truly suits you.
Wellbeing and rhythm
For general wellbeing, a calm pace suits this week. With many thoughts wanting to speak at the same time, it is easy to take too few breaks. Try to step outside between appointments, even if only for ten minutes. A short walk in the crisp autumn air can help to order the mind.
Also pay attention to your sleep rhythm. Late evenings with long conversations are pleasant, but sometimes they call for a quiet morning. A fixed time to put the screen away can create space without your having to give up anything. Everyday routines such as drinking water, simple eating and a small relaxing activity are valuable here.
Feel free to share your busyness with someone you trust. Walking together for a while or planning a relaxed evening can offer more support than you might expect beforehand.
The moon this week
The full moon on 26 October falls in Taurus and was observed at 05:12 local time in Europe/Amsterdam. In the creative reading of this text, it is a moment of harvest: what you sowed in recent weeks becomes visible. For Aquarius, this often means that a plan that existed on paper now takes practical shape, or that you notice which ideas genuinely remain alive.
After the full moon, the light gradually diminishes. On 1 November the last quarter moon falls in Leo, observed at 21:28 local time. This can be read as a moment to choose which projects you let go of and which you carry further. It is not a moment for big decisions under pressure, but for reflection and honest weighing up.
After that, moonlight continues to fade towards the new phase of the cycle. Use the weekend to reflect on what you have learned and which small step you would like to take next week.
