It’s a week that defies expectations. Shortly after Venus retrograde shifts backward into Libra, the Moon reaches her fullness in Taurus. Both astrological happenings are governed by Venus, which rules both signs and brings more self-awareness, emotional wisdom, self-value, honest relating, and embodied desire. It’s a week that explores safety, self-worth, and connection through reminding us that the way we connect with others was never designed to take away from ourselves. Rather, it was meant to bring us closer to our authenticity. Your weekly horoscope for October 25-31, 2026 explains how you can access more of that in life.

October 25 | Venus retrograde enters Libra
October 25 or 26 | Full Moon in Taurus
Venus Retrograde Enters Libra
As she continues her backward spin, Venus in retrograde exits Scorpio and reenters Libra on October 25, 2026. The planet of beauty and love shifting from water to air sign is leaving the psyche for the mind. It’s analogous to shifting from emotional complexity and intensity to relational balance, from unfiltered honesty to thoughtful adjustment.
Venus retrograde in Scorpio invited us into the depths of our psyche. Here we encountered, yet perhaps did not fully understand, old patterns and self-protection related to vulnerability and intimacy. Venus retrograde in Libra initiates a review of how we exchange and connect.
The week ahead walks us into the inner dynamics that shape the way we relate to tension or disagreement, where we feel safe to be ourselves and where we have learned to dim, hide, please or contort ourselves for seeming harmony. It is a space to reflect on relationship, what outer connection mirrors within and what deeper needs, fears, and desires our relationships are mirroring to us by asking us to notice the way we engage with them.
Full Moon in Taurus
An invitation to explore beneath the surface and encounter whatever needs our awareness takes place with the full Moon in Taurus on October 26, 2026. Here we find self-compassion for the ways we require as well as seek safety, belonging, and connection.
Taurus is a sign of the earth. It is stability and patience and body. As the Moon reaches her fullness in the Venus-ruled sign, she highlights the way our bodies, our nervous systems, and our emotional selves yearn for stability, peace, safety, and embodied presence. At the same time, the Sun shares its light from the opposite sign of the zodiac, Scorpio.
This creates a pattern in our cosmos with Venus retrograde in Libra, Chiron in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius. This pattern speaks to a desire from within—not just the safety we seek but also the empowerment, self-ownership, and willingness to trust ourselves enough to move with life, desire, and whatever direction calls us.
It’s a time of emotional heightening, intentional releasing, and emotional repatterning, especially with regard to relational dynamics. Underneath it all is not only a desire but a need for truth.

Your Weekly Horoscope for October 25-31, 2026
The realm of the unconscious comes increasingly into your awareness this week. Not only awareness of the mind but of the emotion, body, and questioning. Each inherited pattern, each learned response, each automatic reaction or unconscious emotion surrounds how you engage with yourself and others. It’s the way we know when our body reacts from something prior to the present. The way there are unmet needs underneath each reaction, response, and narrative. Your horoscope helps you understand where to look. Read for your rising sign.
Aries Rising
The week brings reflections and reviews of where you feel safety. Namely, the safety you feel within connection and relationships. Also, the safety you feel within change and emotion. It highlights where you are ready to recall your expenditure of effort from relational dynamics that do not allow for your truth, sovereignty, and love.
Taurus Rising
This week gives you permission to move at your pace and hear your rhythm beneath the noise of the world around you. Notice what happens when you let yourself listen to yourself. With an assist from your inner trust, your body begins to speak, old identities release, relational dynamics are up for rewriting, and a different relationship with your days, habits, and self forms.
Gemini Rising
Your doorway inward is through your creativity. As you meet every part of yourself that fears self-expression, that has learned to dismiss joy, quieten your voice, and feel safe with play, there are emotional patterns clearing from your body. The felt emotions of safety, stability, and comfort support their release.
Cancer Rising
This week draws your awareness inward and backward, as if tending the childhood space where all inherited emotions, patterns, and beliefs exist. Familial narratives and unconscious needs surrounding relating and connection come up for review while expired narratives related to belonging, fitting in, and safety transform within your body.
Leo Rising
This week welcome your mind into a sacred review where you can hold space to question narratives and the ideas existing within you. It’s a time for remembering your worthiness, rewriting your beliefs, and releasing moments and emotions that have forgotten your authority. The direction of your life is speaking. This week is clearing the space so you can hear it.
Virgo Rising
No longer are stories of unworthiness welcomed in your body. No longer are questions of self-value yours to sit with. Allow yourself to meet any questions and doubts with enough equanimity that you can hear the voice underneath. A whisper from within speaks, one that guides personal truth, meaning, and what is important to you.
Libra Rising
This week welcomes you into the space in between. Between who you have been and who you are becoming. Between identities falling and identities forming. Between existing ways to move through the world and the more truthful ones emerging. Between recognition of your inner strength, depth, and safety with your emotions and truth.
Scorpio Rising
You are in a time of transformation. Allow confusion to be remembered as rearranging. Allow questioning to be met as doorways to transition. Allow yourself to find safety in letting go and enabling change both within and without. Allow space for unwanted relational patterns to untangle and release.
Sagittarius Rising
Look within. Instead of waiting to feel fulfilled by what’s calling you from outside, what are you yearning for? Instead of your belonging being dictated by others, what if you remember it as innate? You’re being asked to secure a different way to cherish yourself, including through the smallest everyday rituals.
Capricorn Rising
Turn around for a moment. Observe where you have come from and the purpose that has been guiding your existing, building, and progressing. There is more for you to see, experience, and understand before you once again move forward. Old patterns of self-erasure, stifled self-expression, and fear of being seen are calling for compassion.
Aquarius Rising
There is a need for space in between all that you have been taught about life, purpose, meaning, and truth and the quiet whispers from within. What does your heart, not your inherited beliefs, say? Instead of your learned cosmologies, what does your body say? Old patterns from childhood are clearing so that you, and not them, can take up more space in your body.
Pisces Rising
Emotion is speaking this week. And it is revealing what needs are still asking to be met and patterns wanting to be rewritten. Stories around safety, self-worth, and body are up for evaluation. Fears around love, connection, and autonomy are making themselves known. Empowerment and self-trust are trying to become more present in your life, as is a new way to connect with yourself that honors yourself.
