A week to reread your story
Scorpio is about trust, and this week asks for a quiet check: who can you truly tell what you feel, and who only gets to see the tidy part? With Mercury still retrograde in your sign, this is an excellent moment to bring back old conversations. Not to reopen them, but to make them clear. You do not need to reveal everything in order to be honest.
Think of a colleague to whom you once promised something and whom you then left waiting with a touch of doubt. Instead of quietly withdrawing, you could this week formulate one sentence: I want to do this well, and I notice I need to adjust something. Such a sentence protects both your privacy and your reliability. It is an optional step, not an obligation.
Love with room for your own pace
If you have a partner, this week may invite you to slow down. Venus is retrograde in Libra and asks for a review of what you experience as fair in relationships. Perhaps you notice that attention or responsibilities are unevenly shared, without anyone having done so deliberately. An evening without phones on the table, with one open question such as 'what have you missed most lately?', may be enough to discover what is alive between you.
If you are single, the week may direct your attention to the way you admit new people into your life. Scorpio enjoys looking deeply, but sometimes decides too quickly whom to trust. You do not have to show the most hidden part of yourself to anyone on first meeting. Honesty can also be very simple: I am not a quick talker, but I like listening, and I return to my commitments.
Work and arrangements that call for clarity
For those who work, study or are looking for work, the coming days are a period for careful reading. With Mercury retrograde, an email can be quickly misunderstood or a schedule can remain vague. That need not be a disaster. It is a good moment to summarise arrangements briefly, so that everyone has the same expectations and no one has to guess later.
A practical example: you receive an assignment that has been only half described. Ask one friendly and concrete question, and put the answer down in writing. This protects your own time and privacy without controlling the other person. Preferably schedule your most important task in the morning, when your mind is calmest, and keep the afternoon for consultation.
Rest, movement and a rhythm that works
This week revolves around general wellbeing: enough sleep, regular meals and movement that you genuinely enjoy. A short walk by the water or through the park after work can clear your head without becoming a performance. Scorpio can put a great deal of energy into a single project; therefore set a time limit and take deliberate breaks to catch your breath.
Also notice how you deal with social pressure. If you feel you are there for everyone, plan one evening just for yourself. This is not medical advice, but a simple way to make the week lighter: less screen time before sleep, a cup of tea and a book that does not need to prove anything.
Full moon in Taurus and the last quarter moon
The full moon fell on 26 October at 05:12 European time in Taurus. That is the observed phase. The meaning we attach to it is creative: Taurus stands for stability and physical comfort, while Scorpio wishes to dig deeper. Together they invite you to consider what you truly need in order to feel safe, in your home, in your relationships and in your daily rhythm.
The last quarter moon fell on 1 November at 21:28 in Leo. It is a moment to round off what you have begun in recent weeks. Perhaps there is something you no longer need to carry. Write it down, set it aside for a while, and leave room for what you do wish to choose.
