A Mystic Rectangle and a Witch’s Cauldron
Well, honey, the heavens have pulled out their finest Halloween decorations, and we’re still two weeks away from All Hallows’ Eve! A Mystic Rectangle stretches across the sky like an enchanted tapestry, Venus is rummaging through Scorpio’s underworld with Pluto breathing down her neck, and Mercury is preparing to retrace his steps through whatever secrets the two of them have disturbed. I wouldn’t be surprised if the skeletons started climbing out of the closets on their own.
We begin the week beneath that fascinating Mystic Rectangle, formed by two oppositions woven together with trines and sextiles. The oppositions create tension, while the trines and sextiles offer ways for seemingly incompatible forces to work together. It’s a bit like gathering four strong-willed relatives around the Sunday dinner table and discovering that, between the disagreements, they have something rather important to say to one another.
Our celestial cast includes the Sun in Libra opposite Chiron in Aries, while Jupiter and the South Node in Leo oppose the North Node in Aquarius. The Sun sextiles Jupiter and the South Node while trining the North Node. Chiron trines Jupiter and the South Node and sextiles the North Node, completing this fascinating conversation between fire and air.
The Sun in Libra seeks harmony and relationship, while Chiron in Aries touches the tender places surrounding independence and identity. Jupiter traveling with the South Node in Leo magnifies our creative fire, generosity, confidence, and perhaps a little theatrical flair. Opposite the North Node in Aquarius, Jupiter raises questions about the difference between personal glory and contributing our gifts to something larger than ourselves.
What interests me about this configuration is how the trines and sextiles allow these competing interests to work together. We can honor our individuality while making room for another person’s truth, bringing our unique gifts into community while allowing others to shine in their own right.
Monday brings Venus retrograde at 3°04′ Scorpio square Pluto at 3°04′ Aquarius. Now there’s an aspect worthy of the Halloween season! Venus governs love, desire, attraction, money, and values, while Pluto has a particular talent for uncovering whatever we’ve buried beneath the respectable surface of things. Questions surrounding intimacy, loyalty, jealousy, power, and control may become considerably more interesting.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio, leaving Libra’s diplomatic drawing room for the underworld. As the Sun moves away from its opposition to Chiron, the original Mystic Rectangle begins to loosen. But the heavens have another character waiting in the wings.
Venus is traveling backward toward Libra, the sign she rules, preparing to reenter on Sunday, October 25. As she returns to the late degrees of Libra, she can begin taking up the Sun’s former place in the pattern, renewing the conversation with Chiron in Aries, Jupiter and the South Node in Leo, and the North Node in Aquarius. The Sun has illuminated the tension between independence and relationship; Venus will bring that same conversation into the intimate territory of love, desire, values, and reciprocity.
Friday brings the Sun and retrograde Venus together at 0°45′ Scorpio in an inferior conjunction, a profound turning point in Venus’s retro

Aries (March 21-April 19) Weekly Horoscope: for Aries & Aries Rising
Your IRL Week:
We begin the week with a Mystic Rectangle that places Chiron in Aries and your first house opposite the Sun in Libra and your seventh house of partnership. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo occupy your fifth house of romance, creativity, and pleasure, while the North Node in Aquarius travels through your eleventh house of friendship and community. This configuration brings your independence into conversation with the people you love and the larger world you belong to. Chiron in your sign has been doing some considerable work around identity and the courage to be yourself. Jupiter in fellow fire sign Leo offers a generous helping of confidence, along with opportunities to express yourself creatively and enjoy a little romance.
Monday retrograde Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius across your eighth and eleventh houses. Intimacy, shared finances, loyalty, and trust may become tangled with friendship or group dynamics. Something involving money, emotional investment, or an old attachment could require a closer look. Pluto has a way of exposing the unspoken agreements operating beneath our relationships, and Venus retrograde is already reconsidering whether those agreements still serve everyone involved.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your eighth house, turning your attention toward deeper emotional and financial entanglements. Friday’s Sun-Venus conjunction at 0°45′ Scorpio illuminates something about what you truly desire from intimacy. Venus is preparing to return to Libra and your seventh house on Sunday, October 25, where she will take up the relationship conversation begun by the Sun. The Mystic Rectangle’s emphasis on independence, partnership, creativity, and community finds a new voice through Venus herself.
Saturday Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio and your eighth house at 20°58′. Shared accounts, taxes, investments, debts, inheritances, and conversations about intimacy may require another examination before Mercury stations direct November 13. Pay attention to information that returns, particularly around financial arrangements or matters involving another person’s resources. There may be a missing piece worth finding before making your next move.
IRL Tip:
Review one shared financial arrangement or recurring expense that has been operating on autopilot. Make sure everyone understands the agreement.
Self-Care Theme:
Honoring your independence while allowing genuine intimacy.
Kind Deed:
Acknowledge someone who has supported your creative ambitions or encouraged you to be yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Taurus & Taurus Rising
Your IRL Week:
The Mystic Rectangle opens the week across some of the most personal territory in your chart. The Sun in Libra occupies your sixth house of work, health, and daily routines, opposite Chiron in Aries and your twelfth house of rest, solitude, and the unconscious. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo are traveling through your fourth house of home and family, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your tenth house of career and public life. You may be discovering just how closely your professional responsibilities, family expectations, and physical well-being are connected. Jupiter in your fourth house can bring generosity and growth at home, although he occasionally has grander domestic ambitions than the household budget appreciates.
Monday your ruler Venus, retrograde in Scorpio and your seventh house of partnership, squares Pluto in Aquarius and your tenth house. Relationships and career can become a rather interesting combination under this aspect. A partner’s expectations, professional obligations, questions about power, or an old disagreement may require attention. Venus retrograde is examining what you value in close relationships, while Pluto is transforming your relationship with authority and public responsibility. A little honesty about where these two areas overlap could save considerable trouble later.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your seventh house, bringing relationships further into focus. Friday the Sun meets retrograde Venus at 0°45′ Scorpio, illuminating what you’ve been discovering about love, loyalty, attraction, and reciprocity. Venus will return to Libra and your sixth house on Sunday, October 25, bringing her attention back to the everyday habits through which relationships are actually lived. As she approaches Libra, the themes of the Mystic Rectangle shift toward the practical balance between caring for others and caring for yourself.
Saturday Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your seventh house. Partners, clients, close friends, and collaborators may revisit conversations or agreements that appeared settled. Contracts and commitments deserve a careful second reading. Mercury remains retrograde until November 13, giving you time to discover whether everyone has been operating with the same understanding.
IRL Tip:
Ask a partner or close collaborator whether an arrangement still works as well for them as it does for you. Listen to the answer before offering improvements.
Self-Care Theme:
Making your daily life sustainable for the person living it.
Kind Deed:
Quietly take care of something that makes a partner’s or family member’s day easier.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Gemini & Gemini Rising
Your IRL Week:
The Mystic Rectangle begins the week with the Sun in Libra and your fifth house of romance, creativity, pleasure, and children opposite Chiron in Aries and your eleventh house of friendship and community. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo occupy your third house of communication, siblings, neighbors, and everyday learning, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your ninth house of travel, teaching, publishing, and higher understanding. There is a fascinating conversation taking place between what you know, what you believe, what you create, and the people with whom you share it. Jupiter in your third house can make you wonderfully expressive, although he may occasionally encourage you to tell the entire story when a paragraph would do.
Monday Venus retrograde in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius across your sixth and ninth houses. Work, health, routines, and everyday responsibilities may come into conflict with travel, education, publishing, or a deeply held belief. You could also discover that something you’ve been pursuing requires a different investment of time and energy than you originally imagined. Venus is examining the quality of your daily life, while Pluto is changing the larger philosophy guiding it.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your sixth house, followed by Friday’s conjunction with retrograde Venus at 0°45′ Scorpio. This can illuminate how much of your life is spent doing things you genuinely value and how much has become habit. Venus will return to Libra and your fifth house on Sunday, October 25, bringing creativity, romance, and pleasure back into the conversation. As she moves toward Libra, the Mystic Rectangle’s themes of creative expression, friendship, learning, and belonging gain a distinctly Venusian emphasis.
Then Saturday your ruler Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your sixth house. Oh, Gemini, here we go. Work schedules, appointments, technology, coworkers, health routines, and unfinished projects may begin behaving as though they have minds of their own. Mercury will retrace his steps until November 13, and something that appeared to be a minor inconvenience may reveal a larger problem in the system. Fortunately, few signs are better equipped than Gemini to find another route when the original one becomes impassable.
IRL Tip:
Back up your work, check your calendar, and finish one project that has been waiting for your attention. Your future self will appreciate the preparation.
Self-Care Theme:
Making everyday life spacious enough for creativity and curiosity.
Kind Deed:
Share useful information, a contact, or a resource with someone who could benefit from what you’ve learned.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Cancer & Cancer Rising
Your IRL Week:
We begin the week with a Mystic Rectangle stretching across some particularly meaningful territory in your chart. The Sun in Libra occupies your fourth house of home, family, and belonging, opposite Chiron in Aries and your tenth house of career and public life. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo travel through your second house of money, possessions, and personal values, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your eighth house of intimacy and shared resources. There is quite a conversation taking place between what belongs to you, what you share with others, and the balance between your private and public responsibilities. Jupiter in your second house can bring generosity and opportunity, although he occasionally encourages you to spend money as though another shipment is arriving tomorrow.
Monday retrograde Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius across your fifth and eighth houses. Romance, creativity, pleasure, and children may become entangled with deeper questions about intimacy, trust, shared finances, or emotional vulnerability. Venus retrograde has been examining what brings you pleasure, while Pluto is transforming your relationship with the things you share most intimately with others. An old attachment or familiar relationship pattern may reveal something you understand differently now.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your fifth house, followed by Friday’s conjunction with retrograde Venus at 0°45′ Scorpio. This can illuminate a desire, creative longing, or romantic question that has been quietly developing. Venus is preparing to return to Libra and your fourth house on Sunday, October 25, bringing her discoveries back into the territory of home, family, and belonging. As she approaches Libra, the Mystic Rectangle’s conversation about private life, career, personal values, and shared responsibilities takes on a more intimate dimension. What you’ve discovered about love and desire may influence the kind of home and family life you want to create.
Saturday Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your fifth house. Old romantic conversations, creative projects, questions involving children, or something you once loved doing may return for another look. Mercury remains retrograde until November 13, offering time to reconsider a creative direction or discover something important in an unfinished story. Your ruler, the Moon, moves through the week’s changing emotional landscape, so allow yourself a little room to feel what is emerging before deciding what to do about it.
IRL Tip:
Return to a creative project or pleasurable activity you’ve abandoned. See whether it still has something to offer you.
Self-Care Theme:
Making room for pleasure without turning it into another responsibility.
Kind Deed:
Create a little comfort for someone who shares your home or regularly enters it.

Leo (July 23-August 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Leo & Leo Rising
Your IRL Week:
The Mystic Rectangle begins the week with Jupiter and the South Node traveling through Leo and your first house, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your seventh house of partnership. Meanwhile, the Sun, your ruler, occupies Libra and your third house of communication, opposite Chiron in Aries and your ninth house of beliefs, travel, and higher understanding. This is an especially personal configuration for you. Jupiter in your sign brings confidence, generosity, and a growing awareness of your own possibilities, while the nodal axis asks how your individuality works alongside the people who share your life. Chiron in your ninth house may touch an old wound involving your beliefs, education, or the freedom to follow your own understanding of the world.
Monday retrograde Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius across your fourth and seventh houses. Home, family, private life, and partnership are all part of this rather intense conversation. Something involving loyalty, emotional security, or an old family pattern may surface through a close relationship. Venus is examining what makes you feel at home, while Pluto continues transforming your experience of partnership. A disagreement about the dishes could have surprisingly little to do with the dishes.
Thursday your ruler, the Sun, enters Scorpio and your fourth house, followed by Friday’s conjunction with retrograde Venus at 0°45′ Scorpio. This brings illumination to your private world, perhaps around a family relationship, living arrangement, or your deeper sense of belonging. Venus will return to Libra and your third house on Sunday, October 25, where conversations, agreements, and the language of relationship become central again. As she moves toward Libra, she begins taking up the themes your ruler introduced through the Mystic Rectangle. What you say, how you listen, and whether another person feels heard may matter more than winning the argument.
Saturday Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your fourth house. Household repairs, property matters, family conversations, documents, or decisions about where and how you live may need another examination. Mercury remains retrograde until November 13, so leave some room for revisions, particularly if you’re making plans involving your home or family.
IRL Tip:
Attend to one household issue that has been quietly irritating everyone. Sometimes the smallest repair changes the atmosphere of an entire home.
Self-Care Theme:
Creating a private life that supports the person you’re becoming.
Kind Deed:
Make someone in your family or household feel genuinely appreciated for what they contribute.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Virgo & Virgo Rising
Your IRL Week:
We begin the week with a Mystic Rectangle connecting the Sun in Libra and your second house of money and personal values with Chiron in Aries and your eighth house of intimacy and shared resources. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo occupy your twelfth house of dreams, solitude, and the unconscious, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your sixth house of work, health, and daily routines. This configuration brings your material and emotional resources into conversation with the balance between rest and responsibility. Jupiter in your twelfth house can expand your inner life, bringing meaningful dreams, spiritual insights, and unexpected help from behind the scenes. The challenge may be finding enough quiet to hear any of it.
Monday retrograde Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius across your third and sixth houses. Communication, work, health, and everyday routines may become tangled together. A conversation with a coworker, sibling, or neighbor could reveal an underlying frustration, or you may discover that the way you’ve been organizing your days is costing you more energy than you realized. Venus retrograde is examining how you communicate and what you value in your daily exchanges, while Pluto is steadily transforming the machinery of your everyday life.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your third house, followed by Friday’s conjunction with retrograde Venus at 0°45′ Scorpio. Something about a conversation, relationship, writing project, or long-held opinion may become clearer. Venus will return to Libra and your second house on Sunday, October 25, bringing the discussion back to money, values, and self-worth. As she approaches Libra, the Mystic Rectangle’s themes of personal resources, shared obligations, work, and rest begin to find a new expression through Venus. You may be discovering that the way you spend your time says just as much about your values as the way you spend your money.
Then Saturday your ruler Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your third house. This is familiar territory for Virgo, although Mercury in Scorpio has a particular talent for finding the one detail everybody else overlooked. Emails, documents, appointments, travel arrangements, conversations, writing, and agreements may require another pass. Mercury remains retrograde until November 13, and something you hear now could take on an entirely different meaning once more information comes to light.
IRL Tip:
Revisit an important email, document, or agreement before sending or signing it. Your attention to detail is especially valuable this week.
Self-Care Theme:
Making space for quiet thought amid everyday responsibilities.
Kind Deed:
Help someone untangle a practical problem they’ve been struggling to solve.

Libra (September 23-October 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Libra & Libra Rising
Your IRL Week:
We begin the week with a Mystic Rectangle that places the Sun in Libra and your first house opposite Chiron in Aries and your seventh house of partnership. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo occupy your eleventh house of friendship, community, and future plans, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your fifth house of romance, creativity, and pleasure. This is particularly personal astrology for you, bringing your own identity into conversation with the people you love and the communities to which you belong. Chiron in your seventh house may touch old sensitivities around partnership, while Jupiter in your eleventh house brings opportunities through friendship and collaboration. There may be some interesting questions about how much of yourself you give to others and how much you reserve for the things that make you happy.
Monday your ruler Venus, retrograde in Scorpio and your second house, squares Pluto in Aquarius and your fifth house. Money, values, romance, and pleasure may become rather entangled. A romantic attraction, creative investment, or something you’ve wanted for a long time could reveal a deeper question about what you consider valuable. Pluto has a way of exposing the motivations beneath our desires, and Venus retrograde is already reconsidering where your resources and affections belong. You may discover that something you once wanted has lost its appeal, while another desire has become impossible to ignore.
Thursday the Sun leaves Libra for Scorpio and your second house, loosening the original Mystic Rectangle. But your ruler Venus is preparing to return to Libra on Sunday, October 25, and she has quite a story to bring home. As she moves backward toward your sign, she approaches the Sun’s former position in the configuration, renewing the conversation with Chiron in Aries, Jupiter and the South Node in Leo, and the North Node in Aquarius. The Sun began the discussion around independence, partnership, friendship, and personal expression. Venus will bring those questions directly into the territory of love, attraction, identity, and what you truly value.
Friday the Sun and retrograde Venus meet at 0°45′ Scorpio in your second house. This inferior conjunction is a significant turning point in Venus’s retrograde journey, and for Libra it may illuminate something about money, self-worth, or a desire you’ve been reconsidering. What you value now may be quite different from what mattered even a few months ago.
Saturday Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your second house. Financial agreements, purchases, invoices, possessions, and questions about compensation may require another examination before Mercury stations direct November 13. Check the figures, read the fine print, and give yourself time before making a significant financial commitment.
IRL Tip:
Revisit a purchase or financial decision you’ve been considering. Make sure it reflects what you genuinely want now.
Self-Care Theme:
Honoring your own desires while maintaining meaningful relationships.
Kind Deed:
Support a friend’s creative work or recommend their talents to someone who would appreciate them.

Your IRL Week:
The Mystic Rectangle opens the week across your twelfth, sixth, tenth, and fourth houses. The Sun in Libra occupies your twelfth house of solitude, dreams, and the unconscious, opposite Chiron in Aries and your sixth house of work, health, and daily routines. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo travel through your tenth house of career and public life, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your fourth house of home and family. There is a considerable conversation taking place between your public responsibilities and private needs. Jupiter in your tenth house may be expanding your professional opportunities, while Chiron in your sixth asks whether the daily demands of those opportunities are sustainable. The Mystic Rectangle offers ways to bring these competing priorities into a more workable relationship.
Monday Venus retrograde in Scorpio and your first house squares your modern ruler Pluto in Aquarius and your fourth house. This is deeply personal astrology, touching your identity, appearance, desires, family, and sense of belonging. Something about the person you’re becoming may challenge an old family pattern or expectation. Venus retrograde has been asking what you truly want, while Pluto continues excavating the foundations of your private life. There may be a familiar emotional sore spot that deserves a little attention.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio, bringing your annual solar return season and a welcome infusion of vitality. As the Sun leaves Libra, the original Mystic Rectangle begins to loosen, while Venus prepares to return to Libra and your twelfth house on Sunday, October 25. Her return will bring the relationship themes of the rectangle into your inner world, where dreams, memories, old attachments, and private desires may have something more to say.
Friday the Sun meets retrograde Venus at 0°45′ Scorpio in your first house. This is one of the most personally significant moments of Venus’s retrograde journey for you. The inferior conjunction marks Venus’s transition from evening star toward her eventual emergence as morning star, and something about love, attraction, beauty, identity, or self-worth may become illuminated. Scorpio understands the ancient story of Inanna descending into the underworld and surrendering everything she thought defined her. What remains when the ornaments fall away?
Saturday Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your first house. Conversations, personal decisions, agreements, plans, and the way you present yourself may require another examination before Mercury stations direct November 13. With both Venus and Mercury retrograde in your sign, you have a rare opportunity to reconsider what you want and how you intend to communicate it. Give yourself room to change your mind as new information appears.
IRL Tip:
Notice what you’re tempted to change about your appearance, relationships, or direction. Let the desire settle before making a permanent decision.
Self-Care Theme:
Allowing your identity and desires to evolve.
Kind Deed:
Tell someone exactly what you admire about them, especially a quality they may overlook in themselves.

Jupiter, your ruler, travels with the South Node in Leo and your ninth house of travel, teaching, publishing, and higher understanding, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your third house of communication and everyday learning. This is a fascinating configuration for Sagittarius, bringing your beliefs and larger worldview into conversation with the people around you. Jupiter in fellow fire sign Leo encourages adventure, confidence, and intellectual exploration, although he may occasionally become so enthusiastic about the grand vision that he forgets to listen to the person sitting across the table.
Monday retrograde Venus in Scorpio and your twelfth house squares Pluto in Aquarius and your third house. Old memories, private feelings, dreams, or something you’ve kept to yourself may find their way into a conversation. Venus retrograde in your twelfth house has been stirring material from the past, while Pluto in your third is transforming the way you think and communicate. A seemingly ordinary exchange could touch something much deeper, particularly if it involves an old relationship, family story, or belief you’ve carried for years.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your twelfth house, inviting a little more solitude and reflection before your birthday season begins. As the Sun leaves Libra, the original Mystic Rectangle loosens, while Venus prepares to return to Libra and your eleventh house on Sunday, October 25. Her return brings friendship, community, and future plans back into the conversation. An old friend, creative collaboration, or group connection may reappear with a different significance than before.
Friday the Sun and retrograde Venus meet at 0°45′ Scorpio in your twelfth house. This inferior conjunction can illuminate something you’ve been carrying privately, perhaps an old desire, relationship, grief, or creative longing. The ancient descent of Inanna seems especially appropriate here, with Venus passing through the underworld of your chart. Dreams and memories may be unusually vivid, and something that has been quietly developing could begin to make sense.
Saturday Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your twelfth house. Mercury will remain retrograde until November 13, retracing territory associated with dreams, solitude, unconscious patterns, and matters unfolding behind the scenes. Pay attention to recurring thoughts, unexpected memories, and information that returns from the past. A little time alone may prove more revealing than another round of conversation.
IRL Tip:
Keep a notebook beside your bed. Dreams, memories, and unexpected ideas may contain material worth revisiting.
Self-Care Theme:
Giving your inner life room to speak.
Kind Deed:
Reach out privately to someone who may be going through a difficult time, without requiring them to explain everything.

Jupiter and the South Node in Leo occupy your eighth house of intimacy, shared resources, and financial entanglements, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your second house of money, possessions, and personal values. This is quite a conversation between what you owe others, what belongs to you, and the balance between your professional ambitions and private life. Jupiter in your eighth house can expand opportunities involving investments, partnerships, or shared finances, although his enthusiasm occasionally requires a second opinion from the accountant.
Monday retrograde Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius across your eleventh and second houses. Friendship, community, group commitments, and future plans may become tangled with money or questions about what you value. An organization or friendship could require more resources than you’re comfortable giving, or you may discover that a goal you’ve been pursuing no longer holds the same appeal. Pluto is transforming your relationship with money and self-worth, while Venus retrograde is reconsidering the people and aspirations that deserve your investment.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your eleventh house, bringing friendships, community, and future plans into greater focus. As the Sun leaves Libra, the original Mystic Rectangle begins to loosen, while Venus prepares to return to Libra and your tenth house on Sunday, October 25. Her return will renew the conversation about career, home, personal values, and shared responsibilities. The Sun began this discussion through questions of professional identity and family obligations. Venus will approach it through relationships, collaboration, and what success is actually worth to you.
Friday the Sun meets retrograde Venus at 0°45′ Scorpio in your eleventh house. This inferior conjunction marks a turning point in Venus’s retrograde journey and may illuminate something about a friendship, collaboration, or long-held dream.

Saturday Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your eleventh house. Old friends, professional contacts, unfinished group projects, and conversations about future plans may return before Mercury stations direct November 13. This can be useful for revisiting a collaboration or reconnecting with someone whose knowledge or experience could help you move forward. Check the details before making new commitments involving groups or organizations.

Review your memberships, group commitments, and future plans. Notice which ones still deserve your time, money, and enthusiasm.

Your IRL Week:
The Mystic Rectangle opens the week with the Sun in Libra and your ninth house of travel, education, teaching, publishing, and higher understanding opposite Chiron in Aries and your third house of communication and everyday learning. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo occupy your seventh house of partnership, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your first house of identity and personal direction. This is especially significant for Aquarius because the nodal axis is moving through your relationship houses. Jupiter in your seventh house can bring generous people, meaningful partnerships, and opportunities through collaboration, while the North Node in your sign encourages you to explore who you’re becoming. The Mystic Rectangle offers a way to honor both your independence and the relationships that enrich your life.
Monday retrograde Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius across your tenth and first houses. Career, reputation, leadership, and personal identity may become rather intense territory. Something about your professional role could challenge the person you’re becoming, or a relationship involving authority may reveal an underlying question about power and control. Venus retrograde is examining what you value in your public life, while Pluto in your sign continues its long transformation of your identity. You may be discovering that the definition of success you once accepted belongs to an earlier version of yourself.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your tenth house, bringing career and public responsibilities further into focus. As the Sun leaves Libra, the original Mystic Rectangle loosens, while Venus prepares to return to Libra and your ninth house on Sunday, October 25. Her return will bring the themes of independence, partnership, beliefs, and communication into another round of consideration. An old idea, teacher, travel plan, or professional philosophy may become relevant again.
Friday the Sun and retrograde Venus meet at 0°45′ Scorpio in your tenth house. This inferior conjunction may illuminate something important about your career direction, professional relationships, or the kind of recognition you actually want. Venus is moving through a profound transformation in her cycle, and you may be reconsidering what you are willing to give your time and talents to.
Saturday Mercury stations retrograde at 20°58′ Scorpio in your tenth house. Professional agreements, contracts, public statements, career decisions, and conversations with people in authority may require another examination before Mercury stations direct November 13. A former colleague or professional opportunity could also return. Mercury in Scorpio is particularly good at uncovering information that changes the way a situation is understood, so read the fine print and listen carefully to what is being said.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Pisces & Pisces Rising
Your IRL Week:
We begin the week with a Mystic Rectangle connecting the Sun in Libra and your eighth house of intimacy, shared resources, and emotional vulnerability with Chiron in Aries and your second house of money and personal values. Jupiter and the South Node in Leo occupy your sixth house of work, health, and daily routines, opposite the North Node in Aquarius and your twelfth house of dreams, solitude, and the unconscious. This configuration brings questions about giving and receiving into conversation with the balance between work and rest. Jupiter in your sixth house can expand opportunities through work and service, although he may also encourage you to take on more than your calendar can comfortably accommodate. The North Node in your twelfth house continues drawing your attention toward the quieter, spiritual dimensions of life.
Monday retrograde Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius across your ninth and twelfth houses. Beliefs, spirituality, travel, education, and the search for meaning may become entangled with something emerging from your unconscious. A spiritual teaching, old philosophy, or experience from the past could stir an unexpectedly strong response. Venus retrograde is reconsidering what you value and believe, while Pluto is transforming the deeper psychological and spiritual foundations of your life. Something you once accepted as truth may deserve another examination.
Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio and your ninth house, bringing travel, learning, teaching, publishing, and spiritual exploration into focus. As the Sun leaves Libra, the original Mystic Rectangle begins to loosen, while Venus prepares to return to Libra and your eighth house on Sunday, October 25. Her return will bring the conversation back to intimacy, trust, shared finances, and the delicate balance between your own needs and those of others. The Sun began this discussion through the relationship between personal values and shared resources. Venus will revisit those questions through love, loyalty, and reciprocity.
Friday the Sun meets retrograde Venus at 0°45′ Scorpio in your ninth house. This inferior conjunction can illuminate a belief, spiritual practice, creative philosophy, or longing to explore something beyond your familiar world. Venus’s journey through the underworld may have you reconsidering what gives your life meaning. A book, teacher, place, or idea from the past could suddenly speak to you in an entirely new way.
