On the day of spooky Halloween, Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus. Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what this means for each star sign
On October 28, Venus in Sagittarius forms a square with Saturn, our cosmic teacher, urging us to confront areas where we might need more discipline and self-control. This is an opportunity to assess where we have lost touch with reality—be it the habit of overspending or idealising a romantic partner.
Then, on the day of spooky Halloween, Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus, setting the stage for unexpected insights that we might find difficult to accept. Just moments later, Mercury will trine Neptune in Pisces, enhancing our ability to communicate honestly with ourselves. Make the best out of this cosmic alignment, by asking the right (and honest) questions and by being open to receiving answers that may surprise you. We are also reminded of the importance of surrendering to spiritual guidance—whether that is the voice of our intuition or assistance from a trusted mentor.
November 1 then brings the New Moon in Scorpio, signalling a powerful new beginning. Scorpio symbolises intense transformations; while we may not fully understand the transformations at play, we can trust our intuition and emotions to guide us correctly. This is a time for powerful realisations, we may begin to recognise our inner strength and how powerful we truly are. New Moons are potent times for setting intentions. This week, call forth your courage to allow all things that no longer serve you to fall away, so as to make space for greater emotional and spiritual maturity. Changes are never easy but trust that we are all being guided to step into truer versions of ourselves.
