You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

Daily Horoscope
October 20, 2026
Tuesday- Mars Day
* All times are Atlantic Standard Time
This Week:
New weekly video!⬆️
We have a massive, significant, and intense week ahead!
Venus is retrograding back through some rocky, potentially dangerous territory with her 2nd of 3 squares to Pluto and inconjunction with Neptune! We are also wrapping up Libra Season and Venus in Scorpio!
This weekend brings in some fresh, new, exciting, but still intense energy! The Sun enters Scorpio early Friday morning, bringing in a welcomed vibe shift! The Sun will conjunct Venus Rx in Scorpio for the LAST time in our lifetimes at 0* of Scorpio! This begins a new 8-year cycle in the Scorpio part of our charts, and it's the last time that the Sun and Venus will meet in Scorpio! They've been meeting in Scorpio since the early 1920s, and this final Cazimi closes out this 100-year cycle of Venus-Sun Cazimis in Scorpio; now they move backward into Libra! I sense this is VERY auspicious for love and relationships over the next 100 years!
Mercury Stations Rx in Scorpio early Saturday morning!
Early Sunday morning, Venus re-enters her home sign of Libra! Sweet relief!! Venus gets the royal welcome home in Libra after her volatile time in Scorpio! Venus has protection in Libra! The feminine has some time to reset and regroup after a hard battle.
The Sun inconjuncts Neptune early Sunday morning. Are we getting the truth? Are we being deceived? It's likely, so for now, trust no one!
We have been feeling this intensity building all weekend, since Pluto Stationed Direct on Thursday. This activated the incoming Venus Rx-Pluto square that we have coming in hot, early Tuesday morning!
When both planets are applying to each other, things get ugly! We had the first Venus-Pluto square on 9/15. We are building up to the second one now! This one is more intense and potentially uglier! Venus is running toward Pluto in full attack mode. Pluto is moving slowly but building forward momentum, giving him power and strength. Venus is severely debilitated by her retrograde, and she's in her sign of Fall, Scorpio. The feminine is on the attack, but lacks the power and potential to win. She is a skilled warrior, laser-focused on her attack plan, but she lacks the power and higher ground to go after Pluto. This square signifies power plays, power struggles, bullying, violence against women, rape, and sometimes murder. Please be careful when dating or getting to know someone new. Take your time; avoid secluded areas. Deep, dark secrets are coming to light! Relationship drama, suspicion, and obsession are hallmarks of this aspect. Protect your energy, be careful! Once Pluto Stations Direct, this square is on!
Venus is Retrograde in Scorpio!
She will remain Rx until 11/13. This can strain love, relationships, finances, and beauty. The Goddess of Love and Beauty is turning inward and not bringing her usual giving, loving energy to the table. She's focused on reviewing, revising, rethinking, and revisiting issues over the past 18 months. This isn't the best time to start new relationships or make big changes to your look or appearance.
Venus is answering to Mars in Leo as she Stations Retrograde. Venus is considered to be in her sign of Detriment in Scorpio. Venus is the Goddess of Love and Beauty, so she doesn't have her usual luxuries in Mars's cold, wet Scorpionic castle. This Venus Rx is very Wuthering Heights, lol. Venus begins the retrograde in atrocious territory! By sign, she's involved in a tense Fixed T-square with Mercury, Mars, and Pluto! Venus will traverse this difficult territory herself over her retrograde. Venus is learning warrior skills from Mars. If she digs in, dedicates herself, and works hard, she will be victorious. If she's defiant, calculated, and vengeful, she will have a series of brutal, dangerous, and potentially deadly experiences!
Relationships are challenged under Venus Retrogrades, especially this one! Issues around trust, secrets, lies, and finances are major themes of this retrograde. Look back to 2018; this was the last Venus Rx in Scorpio, for similar themes to emerge.
This is NOT a good time for starting new relationships, especially with someone we don't already know well! Do not go on a secluded date with someone new, or just met! If dating someone new, take your time; really get to know them. Do you even like them? Relationshps/affaris started during Venus Rx usually fizzle out by the end of the retrograde. Is it worth it? I promise you, it's NOT! Especially under this Rx! Secrets won't remain hidden! Long-term relationship trust issues and drama are more likely. Relationships could end or separate. Under the Rx, it's likely to come back around. Exes are also more likely to return. Be discerning! They likely won't stick around.
Venus rules women, so females are taking the hit on this one. Please stay safe, trust your gut, and leave if you feel threatened by anyone in any way! Watch your back!
This energy can signify violence against women, stalkers, obsession, rape, and murder. Crimes by women and against women are more likely. This energy is vengeful; it's not a time to make enemies.
Use this Venus Rx to pull back, reflect on your dating style and type. Is it working for you? If not, maybe open your mind to a different type. Clear out your closet and throw out old makeup. This Venus Rx is financially focused. Clean up your finances, make a budget, and stick to it!
This is NOT the time to have ANY plastic surgery! Avoid getting tattoos or going on a shopping spree, especially on expensive items. Our tasste/sense of style is off during Venus Rx. By the end of the Rx, we'll likely not like what we bought or did!
Make small, inconsequential changes, like wearing different colors, trying a new eyeshadow or lipstick color, or trying a hat (lol).
We tend not to enjoy things as much when Venus is Rx.
We are more sensitive to alcohol/drugs during Venus Rx, especially THIS ONE! It's a great time for an alcohol/drug detox!
Today:
The Moon is waxing, growing in light. We're building toward the Taurus Full Moon very early next week, Monday!
The Moon continues through Aquarius today, only making two aspects.
We had the 2nd of 3 Venus-Pluto squares early tomorrow morning. We continue to feel this energy today! When both planets are applying to each other, things get ugly! We had the first Venus-Pluto square on 9/15. We are building up to the second one now! This one is more intense and potentially uglier! Venus is running toward Pluto in full attack mode. Pluto is still stopped but building forward momentum, giving him power and strength. Venus is severely debilitated by her retrograde, and she's in her sign of Fall, Scorpio. The feminine is on the attack, but lacks the power and potential to win. She is a skilled warrior, laser-focused on her attack plan, but she lacks the power and higher ground to go after Pluto. This square signifies power plays, power struggles, bullying, violence against women, rape, and sometimes murder. Please be careful when dating or getting to know someone new. Take your time; avoid secluded areas. Deep, dark secrets are coming to light! Relationship drama, suspicion, and obsession are hallmarks of this aspect. Protect your energy, be careful! Once Pluto Stations Direct, this square is on!
The Moon is in Aquarius; the Moon in Aquarius is detached, humanitarian, individualistic, non-conforming, independent, aloof, and impersonal.
The Moon is answering to Saturn in Aries.
Venus Rx in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius at 2:56 a.m.; here we go! We have been feeling this aspect building since Pluto Stationed Direct last Thursday! This is the 2nd of 3 of these squares between Venus-Pluto. The first one was on 9/15. The storyline from this time is up again. This aspect signifies power plays, power struggles, bullying, violence against women, rape, and sometimes murder. Please be careful and watch your back! This aspect signifies obsession, vengeance, and calculated attacks. Please be careful when dating or getting to know someone new. Take your time; avoid secluded areas. Deep, dark secrets are coming to light! Relationship drama, suspicion, and obsession are hallmarks of this aspect.
We are also building up to the 2nd of 3 Venus-Neptune inconjunctions on Wednesday morning. The Venus-Pluto square kicks off the inconjunction! The feminine is significantly debilitated. Venus inconjunct Neptune signifies lies, deceit, secrets, delusion, and fantasies that take us off our path and can blindside us. This is the 2nd of 3 of these inconjunctions. The last was on 9/15, shortly after the first Venus-Pluto square.
We need to use our discernment!
If it seems too good to be true, it IS!
Moon in Aquarius squares Mercury Stationary in Scorpio at 1:42 pm; this aspect can signify confrontations, hard conversations, or disagreements. Secrets are coming to light, and we need to pay attention to what we hear! Mercury, the fastest-moving planet, is stopped in the sky, preparing to retrograde early Saturday morning, so what we hear can change things!
The Moon in Aquarius opposes Jupiter in Leo at 6:49 pm; Jupiter is expanding our emotional state. The Aquarius Moon is detached, but Jupiter in Leo wants to ignite some emotional reaction for better or worse! Maybe we need to acknowledge our feelings! Or maybe we need to detach from drama. We get to choose how we handle this time. Aquarius encourages us to zoom out; Jupiter expands whatever it touches.
Moon in Aquarius trines the Sun in Libra at 4:42 a.m. on 10/21; the Sun is sharing more light with the Moon, as she grows toward fullness. This is a glorious Air trine. The Sun and Moon are flowing harmoniously. Pay attention to your dreams and intuition.
The Moon goes void of course with this aspect. It's a short void Moon.
Moon in Aquarius sextiles Chiron Rx in Aries at 5:51 a.m. on 10/21; this aspect is healing and restorative. Take your vitamins, enjoy a healthy smoothie, breakfast, or a cup of herbal tea. Take good care of yourself.

Frog- Cleansing
Frog's ribbit may be calling in the cleansing you need. Are you feeling overloaded, harried, frustrated, guilty, itchy, nervous, at a loss, empty, or weakened? If so, take a break and allow yourself to bathe in the waters of Frog medicine. This could mean a long relaxing bath, turning off the phone, yelling "stop," or taking in deep, cleansing breaths. Rid yourself of any distractions and replace the mud with clear energy. Then, replenish your parched spirit, body, and mind. Frog speaks of new life and harmony through its rain song. The deep tones of Frog's "ribbit" is the heartbeat that comes into harmony with Father Sky and calls for the replenishment needed. Call to Frog and find peace in the joy of taking time to give to yourself. A part of this giving is cleansing yourself of any person, place, or thing that does not contribute to your new state of serenity and replenishment.
Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
