Astrology Forecast October 20 – 26, 2025

Today carries a strong sense of initiation, a day when you can begin with purpose. Mars in Scorpio forms a quintile to Pluto in Aquarius in effect in the morning* which suggests a subtle but potent creative spark urging transformation in a way that feels almost inevitable. Use the energy to plant seeds rather than force change.

In the morning you may feel a drive to take action on something you’ve long considered, a project, an emotional reset, a boundary you’ve wanted to draw.

Because the Moon is still in Libra the emotional tone is relatively smooth and cooperative. You can tap into diplomatic strengths now and might find it easier than usual to express what you need, mediate differences, or align with someone else’s view without losing yourself.

By mid-day and afternoon as shifts begin to unfold across the chart this week there is a sense that the safe comfortable path is giving way to something more potent and necessary. You may sense that the status quo no longer serves.

The Mars Pluto quintile whispers transform with elegance. Rather than force outward allow inner tensions to steer you toward what wants to change.

In the evening pause and reflect. The seeds you plant today may take root more strongly than you expect. Stay patient with yourself if things feel unsettled. Ground yourself with ritual such as writing sitting quietly or doing something tactile like walking in nature or working with crystals or clay. These practices can help solidify your intentions.

Tuesday, October 21: New Moon Shift

On Tuesday the Moon enters Scorpio late morning and that transition primes us for a deeper emotional new beginning. A Scorpio New Moon occurs during the day making this a potent moment to set intentions related to transformation passion personal truth healing or emotional rebirth.

Expect sensitivity to subtle cues. The Moon forms a sesquiquadrate to Saturn in Pisces in the late morning which may bring some tension heaviness or resistance to what you want to shift. Later in the afternoon Moon in Scorpio forms sesquiquadrate to Neptune in Pisces heightening sensitivity dreams and illusions.

In practice use the morning for setting intentions quietly maybe in journal form. Acknowledge where fear or doubt arises thanks to the Saturn aspect. As the day goes on lean into creative or spiritual practices like meditation dream work or prayer to connect with your deeper emotional truth. Don’t force clarity but allow images and inner nudges to surface.

Wednesday, October 22: Soul Emergence

This day is heavy with spiritual tone. Neptune moves into Pisces early in the morning reawakening collective sensitivity compassion and a stronger call toward spiritual or mystical practices. Later near the end of the day the Sun enters Scorpio joining that depth charged energy and marking a new solar cycle of soul work secrets transformation and regeneration.

Emotionally you might feel that the boundary between your inner world and the spiritual realm is softer. It is a strong day to explore your psychic senses such as intuition mediumship or channeling or just sitting quietly with dreams or symbols. You may also find things coming to light hidden information surfacing perhaps in relationships or in your own inner terrain.

Use the morning for gentle spiritual attunement such as meditation breath work or letting go. In the afternoon and evening be ready for inward shifts. Secrets or insights may whisper to you. Allow them to emerge without judgment.

Thursday, October 23: Intense Integration

Thursday is a cosmic powerhouse day with many overlapping aspects that demand we integrate and respond. In the morning we begin with the Moon conjunct Mercury and Lilith in Scorpio which means your emotional mind is active probing and perhaps even pushing boundaries of what you’ll allow yourself to know or express. You may feel confrontation or tension around a hidden truth or feel a strong urge to speak what was previously repressed.

By mid-day the Moon still in Scorpio forms a trine to Jupiter in Cancer which expands emotional wisdom and gives a gift of grace. Use that to rise above internal drama. But immediately that Moon also forms a quincunx to Chiron in Aries urging adjustment and healing. There may be emotional wounds asking for attention. Meanwhile the Sun in early Scorpio forms a quincunx to Uranus in Gemini suggesting that something unexpected shifts your perspective or forces you to adjust your identity in relation to something you’ve been holding fixed.

Into the afternoon the Moon moves on to trine Saturn in Pisces bringing stabilizing potential and a chance to ground what’s been stirred up. But by the evening Jupiter squares Chiron which may amplify internal tensions between faith expansion and past wounds.

In sum Thursday is a day to hold space for what wants to be expressed to integrate the old and new and to lean on emotional maturity. Don’t force resolution all at once. Sometimes the greatest potency lies in holding the contradictions.

Friday, October 24: Lightening Up

Friday brings a lighter emotional tone. The Moon slips into Sagittarius early infusing more hopeful playful and forward looking energy. In the early hours Moon sextiles Pluto in Aquarius giving access to depth and renewal even in light moments.

As the day unfolds the Sun in Scorpio squares Pluto and some tension between your individual will and deeper transformation may come to the surface. Also Mercury in Scorpio forms a quincunx to Chiron which may stir sensitive communication issues but Mercury also trines Jupiter in Cancer giving you opportunities to express healing ideas or optimism.

Use Friday to engage socially or intellectually. Conversations may carry more weight than usual but the Sagittarian Moon helps you hold humor and big picture perspective. Be conscious of pushing intensity too hard and steer toward curiosity over conflict.

Saturday, October 25: Energetic Flow

With the Moon in Sagittarius Saturday is favorable for movement exploration and stretching your boundaries. In the morning the Moon squares the Node in Pisces highlighting karmic or fated themes and something in your life may feel destined or repeating.

Later in the afternoon Mercury in Scorpio trines Saturn in Pisces helping you ground mental insights and integrate deeper themes with patience.

This is a day to travel within or without in service of growth. You may feel drawn to new philosophies teachings or adventures. Let your curiosity guide you.

Sunday, October 26: Structural Shift

Sunday brings a pivot in emotional tone. The Moon enters Capricorn around early afternoon shifting from expansive to structured and from emotional high ground to responsibility and ambition.

Earlier in the day the Moon still in late Sagittarius quintiles Venus in Libra giving graceful connections or artistic inspiration. But then the Moon squares Neptune in Pisces which can bring clouds illusions and emotional fuzziness. Finally as the Moon enters Capricorn it forms a quincunx to Uranus in Gemini in the early afternoon. There may be tension between your sense of tradition security or responsibility and what wants to break free or innovate.

Use today to prepare for the week ahead. Apply structure to your insights and commit where needed but leave space for surprise. Don’t force clarity immediately. Some things resolve more cleanly once the new solar and lunar cycles settle in.
